I'm on a train in Austria and a gentleman is reading The God of the Woods by Liz Moore (I was curious and googled the title lol).
I've been on the library's waitlist for this book since February! (currently 108th in line. Started at 455th lol) #BookSky 📚

I was able to buy an HBC multistripe point blanket during their last online restock. It claims to be "heirloom quality", so I'll need to decide which one of the nieces and nephews is my favourite in the will 🤔

If you don't absolutely need to replace the Olympia SM9's feet - DON'T! What a PIA. The feet are basically stapled to the frame, so you have to take the the frame apart to uncrimp the metal tabs, then live in fear they'll break when you push them back down 😓 #Olympia #Typewriter

After I read the yellow highlighted line, I said out loud to my husband "aeons is another weird English word - why is there an a in front??". We had a good laugh after I read the green highlighted part. See image.
It's funnier because the author is my old high school English teacher 😄

Today's haul from the used bookstore. I guess I'm collecting first editions Stephen King books now 😄
I recently purchased the paperback of Lisey's Story, but the hardcopy was just too beautiful to pass up!

I gasped when I saw Stuart McLean's book. He was an amazing Canadian storyteller. Check out his radio show and recordings. #CanadianAuthor

I thought about the US while reading this.
From "Station Eleven" by Emily St John Mandel. A novel that takes place before and after a pandemic that devastated the world and killed most of the population.
