Book 2: Marble Hall Mysteries. This is a delightful whodunnit with multiple layers of metacognition. It's the first of @anthonyhorowitz.com 's books I've read and it's the kind where I'm immediately going to circle back and start from the beginning of the works. Like right now. #bookaweek

During the holidays I put together a playlist of "Folkish" music - which I describe as music that tells a story and that an amateur could sing along to. You might find some new ones here. What song would you add to my collection? music.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #folk #filk #folkish

"Sometimes". Although I had to look REALLY HARD in the recesses of my brain for his name. And I thought that my 6th grade teacher might be gone forever, but her name (Mrs. Shondel) just arrived in my head.

So I hate to use Trump's illegal invasion of Venezuela as an opportunity to ask for money, but I'm trying to flip a U.S. Congressional red district blue. What Trump has done is an impeachable offense and I'm ready to hold him accountable. Please help me raise hell!

I got a bunch of blank watercolor postcards for Christmas, perfect for #postcrossing . I love the genre because it's hard to overthink a postcard. These include color shifting, holographic and glow in the dark paints. #watercolor
