I think it’s important to remember that no matter which side of the aisle you’re on, you’re allowed to start drinking whenever you want today

Got it. Thanks! Couldn’t find it in the app on my phone. Didn’t think of going to the website.

This thread has some great articles to read. I’m set for the weekend.

Good things to ponder

Thanks for this!

I enjoyed it but not as much as Harlem Shuffle. It’s so different than Nickle Boys, which I think was a better novel. Underground Railroad is on my list to read this year.

It’s a sad day in Wisconsin. RIP Bob Ueker

I loved this book. Stunning!

Newbie here. Hoping there’s more to #booksky than fantasy and romance. 🤞
No offense, just not my jam. 😜

Hoping for conversations on literary fiction and classics. 📚💙
