Fun little book of tales of Appalachia. Do you have any favorite folklore books I should read?

Hi, just your local broken book lover here to give you my 2024 best books roundup. Even more than usual this year, books were a saving grace, and I'd love to share my favorites with you.

Just finished "The Little Book of #Hygge" & A+. One day I hope to live in a country that prioritizes happiness over GDP, but looks like we're not there yet.

Can you imagine the comfort of living in a society where you let babies nap outside, unattended? That's all I need to know.

If our world is one of desire fulfillment and our bodies are programmed to seek it, can we ever escape it? I'm trying to craft a world of appreciating what I have by exploring the world of hygge instead of that of our Dopamine Nation this winter.

Talking with the students always leaves me so impressed and excited for the future!

3 weeks ago, I wrote a blog about learning to slow down and enjoy life, and almost immediately was in a car wreck which broke my wrist and forced me to.

Today I took a shower for the first time since my wreck, and I must say, it really is the little things.

When a writer says they've outlined their story, what they really mean is they've envisioned 3-4 cool scenes they now need to somehow tie together into a plot

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff.

I like this version of social media, and the world.

Thanks, folks.
