Really enjoyed that one too

I have a playlist of battle bagpipes going for some of the draft sketching. No words, energetic, doesn’t let me be sleepy

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SO GOOD!

Non-fiction, nature writing, hopeful, lyrical, and philosophical. Reads a bit like Robin Wall Kimmerer, but coming from an English cultural starting point. Great storytelling and luscious language. #BookSky

Yes, but also it’s still fucked up and scary as shit what the house collectively agree should happen

I tried latch hook last year and the results were way too elementary school crafty for me. Maybe it was the kit or something, but I’m thinking straight rug hooking next time

Oooh, what’s your Sicilian version?

A few on-fiction books I’ve especially enjoyed over the years. Pretty different topics, maybe one for you!

I sometimes am able to get around the biggest stores by searching on eBay, then filtering down to “used” items

I only recently discovered those, and would NEVER have read them if I’d known, but also I’m So glad to have the story so far in my head

That cover is glorious though! I just added to my library queue, hope it’s at least a 3 for me too! 😂

Yessssssss

I often switch to non-fiction after an especially amazing work of fiction. That way I can appreciate the new work with shifted expectations

Granted I was 14 at the time, but I read Bashir’s performance being his nervousness about spying, and Garak’s manners to him coming from alien culture. I know now that’s not what they were going for, but this early in their relationship I like to think it could be either. Then later all romantic!

All That Jazz (maybe my favorite)

Inside Llewyn Davis
Fiddler on the Roof
Follies
Gypsy
La La Land
(other greats that haven’t been mentioned a ton)

Yes! We just watched ‘The Young Girls of Rochefort’ and it is just pure joy. Same director.

Added to my queue, it sounds so intriguing, thanks!

They no longer push the practice of regular self exams. It didn’t improve outcomes, increased anxiety, and caused many more unnecessary biopsies. Do be aware of how your particular breasts feel - both under curious fingers and also is there unusual soreness, swelling, puckering, or lumpiness?

Added to my calendar, will try to make it out there before work for some goodies

Yessss. It’s been a while since we’ve seen one!

Omg that is so so stinking cute!!

He takes SUCH good pictures

Yessss, crow baby, yes!!!

I hope it’s super fun!

Oh no, Gnarly’s!

Disagree about loving it!

And I thought Something Rotten cause when Nostradamus is explaining musicals, he says like ..sometimes they’ll stay on a note for a very long time while talking so when they change notes, YOU’LL NoTICE. but mostly you just sit there wondering why aren’t they just TaLking

Disagree, but this makes me think of Something Rotten

Oooh, is it for a hammock?

Hollow Places was SO creepy scary without the thing I usually don’t like about Horror genre - people being awful to other humans. Totally different and memorable.

Me too Ferny
