Finished Grant. Whew! Learned a lot though and appreciate Chernow’s research and writing. Debating which tome to read next. Suggestions welcome! #booksky 💙📚💙

Halfway through Grant by Chernow. Love the guy. Grant I mean. #booksky

Reading Grant by Ron Chernow and love the cover photo. Anybody else find Grant handsome?? 😳🤣#booksky

Finished The Love Songs of W. E. B. Dubois. Loved it. Next “big book” will be either a Grant (Chernow) or Team of Rivals (Goodwin). Thoughts? #booksky #reading

Lonesome Dove. A Little Life. Anxious People. All completely different but great reads!

The Storied Life of A. J. Fickery.

Great book. Hamilton!

It’s on my shelf and to-read list! Maybe after I finish The Live Songs of W. E. B. DuBois. Only a quarter of the way through so may be awhile!

The Book Thief, Before I Fall, Six of Crows, Scythe, Unwind, The Hate You Give, The Fault in Our Stars, Eleanor & Park and Divergent are a few of my favorites and all good places to start! Happy reading!

Can anyone recommend a good book with female friendship as a theme?
#booksky

Totally agree!

VERY powerful. Sending to others so we can rally together….

Have you read Six of Crows? Or The City We Became? Both fantasy and excellent but very different from each other!

This is my year to read the longest books on my shelf. Next up? Can’t decide between The Love Songs of W. E. B. Dubois or The Covenent. Help please!

I recommend a yearly reread of The Midnight Library for anyone who lives with woulda/shoulda/coulda regrets (like most Enneagram Type 4s!)

Just read Lost & Found by Kathryn Shultz for the second time. A proudly beautiful memoir with gorgeous writing.

Helpful!

Finished Wolf Hall. Eh. Not sure why people loved it so much. Checking it off my TBR list and moving on!

I see that Melania chose to wear her Hamburglar hat to honor the criminals in the nation--and next to her.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad

Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

Just finished Bad Sisters, streaming on Apple TV. HIGHLY recommend!

In 2025, I’d like to invite people to purposefully read more dense and/or complex prose.

There is nothing wrong with
reading slow or reading something multiple times.

There’s no shame in looking up the definition of words or writing out plot events to analyze their importance.

Reading Wolf Hall. Why is everyone named Thomas?? Good Lord.
