My sister’s traveling to Venice, so I thought it time to read this gem…little did I realize it is the 1st in a series that now numbers 33! What have I started?! #readsandwanders #venicereads

I’m no musician, but damn, I’m sucked in by the rich tapestry of music woven into this mystery. #theviolinconspiracy #brendanslocumb

Is anybody else watching the TV show The Americas? It’s beautiful! And it throws out the occasional mind-blowing statistic. What a globe we live on! #theamericas 🌎

I attended your town hall last night, it was very, very good. It was informative, though disappointing that there aren’t any real answers to combating Trump‘s dictatorial grab. Please keep fighting for us. 80234.

It’s time for me to read and wander again! ✈️ To the Caribbean I go, so I’m taking: a Chick Lit set on St. John by the Queen of the Beach Read, and Historical Fiction about Barbados’ act of ignoring the 1834 UK Emancipation Proclamation written by a granddaughter of Caribbean immigrants to Britain.

Good on you! #resist

Update: Book finished, devoured is more like it. Well-written thriller / mystery. Likable characters, fun Hogwartsian setting (Oxford), I was dialed in throughout. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

P.S. (Read her book Migrations - LOVED it!)

I appreciate your posts! 🤓 📖

Any day I crackle open the cover of a new read is my favorite day! #readsandwanders

Hawaii! A regular stop in my travels. 🌈 More complex than just America’s 50th state. The Polynesian Islands ebbed and flowed together for millennia before Captain Cook “discovered” them-for better or worse. You will be the better for stepping your sandals on Hawaiian soil! 🩴 #readingwithwanderlust 🖼️

Highly recommend the Seven Sisters series by Lucinda Riley. Inspired by the constellation The Pleides, they are very readable stories tied by the thread of seven sisters who were adopted, each from a different country. An entertaining way to learn.

(6/2024) On a rainy day in Bergen, no better read than the day-to-day life events of Norway under Nazi occupation. Norway was neutral in WWI, and sought to remain so in WWII - and then Hitler invaded April,1940. Scotland’s Shetland Islands were Norway’s lifeline. #readingwithwanderlust 🖼️

This is fabulous, Ari!
