Followed the "teens can't read third person omniscient" scandal.
This is while I was reading A Pin to See the Peepshow, by F Tennyson Jesse.
It's a 1934 novel about an incredibly famous 1922 murder trial. A woman was executed (many say wrongly) for colluding with her lover to murder her husband.

This is the “members lounge” at the Art Institute. Tea or plain coffee is free but you pay for snacks if you want them.
It has completely confirmed my idea that we need to bring back social clubs.

What we learn here is
1. Flounders get freckles.
2. Some science lunatics made a flounder live on a tanning bed for a year to find that out.

That being said, a character in 1932 says, “A real modernist would say that he ought to collect his entire family in the oven and turn on the gas.”
She was talking about the British gentry but it makes me want to find out what was casually being said where about whom.

I did pick this book off the library shelf because I saw the “Adult Readers” stamp and hoped author Ethel Lina White had written a sexy werewolf book back in 1932.
In fact it was about poison pen letters driving people to desperation because they lived technical adultery as one was denied a divorce.

The Grand Canyon draws first blood. A pinyon pine tree objected to me getting too close. Don’t worry. Didn’t hurt too much. The red eyes are due to sunscreen.

Went to the Grand Canyon. Turns out I have crazy vertigo and fully can’t take the trail into it. Fortunately there are 14 miles of trails along the rim.

I want Netflix to do a crazy long trolling of their watchers, promise them a Leatherface movie, and deliver this, in which Leatherface protects a Dutch nobleman and takes off the mask to marry a Spanish lady.

Since we no longer wear a long black dress and veil during our time of mourning when a loved one dies, I would like to wear this outfit during the time period when I have burned my tongue and can't taste food properly.

Oh does this take me back. You couldn’t walk through a library, magazine aisle, or airport without seeing one of these embossed peekaboo covers with a haunted, pale heroine’s face and VC Andrews’ name in all caps. Instantly recognizable.

Upton Sinclair wrote social protest “novels” his whole life.
This novel is part of a series. The main character, Lanny Budd, witnesses the rise of fascism. It’s interesting to see how Sinclair is desperately trying to bring the consequences of European fascism to American attention.

1. Rockin’ cover by Rowena Morrill. Turned the sketching she picked up in an army wives club into a 40 year career. Check her wiki.
2. This book made its way from Colorado to Chicago.
3. Published in 1987, when people were sure their leaders would nuke the world out of pure ego.

Want to know what will make you say every curse word you've ever heard?
When the "delivery" of a couch to your 3rd floor apartment looks like this.
BTW. This is my neighbor's front door.
