36. No idea what I’m doing. But I like baking and reading and being coaxed into the occasional hike.

Yellow highlighted text from John Steinbeck’s book The Grapes of Wrath

“..great owners with access to history, with eyes to read history and to know the great fact: when property accumulates in too few hands it is taken away. And that companion fact: when a majority of the people are hungry and cold they will take by force what they need. And the little screaming fact that sounds through all history: repression works only to strengthen and knit the repressed.”

Inspiration for my next protest sign.

Picture of a book held against a dark wood background and sitting on a blue and brown floral print sheet. 

Book cover is an illustration of a young woman in American Revolution period dress sitting in a tree. She is looking down at two men on horses. At the top of the cover is a banner in red, white, and blue. In dark blue text is the title “Who Rides By?” and directly below in thin red text is the author’s name Margaret Leighton.

Hand holding a book against a light green background. Book cover has black and grey swirling brushstrokes with several thin white hands protruding from it. One hand looks like it’s melting and another has feathers sprouting from the fingertips. 

A large swirl on the left has the title “A Dream of A Woman” and below it is the author Casey Plett/ Author of Little Fish. In lower left hand corner is a large red sticker with the text “Scotiabank Giller Prize LONGLIST”

Photo of book stood up on a white marble surface. The cover is framed in a burnt orange color with a thin inner frame of green. 

At top is the author’s name Leo Tolstoy. At center is the book title Anna Karenina. 

Directly beneath the title is an image of a woman in Victorian dress, holding a sunshade and she appears to be walking. At bottom is the text “A novel translated from the Russian by Constance Garnett.”

It did taste sooo good. It was two layers with lime curd inbetween and crème anglaise with fruit on top.

Book Cover - image of a woman’s shadow upside down. She is wearing a dress and her arms are spread out. She is standing on what looks like a river embankment filled with tiny rocks and tall grasses. Above her is a blue sky covered in clouds and the sun is shining through her. 

Overlayed is the author’s name Shirley Jackson and the title The Haunting of Hill House

Magical realism, gothic horror, rediscovering classics I didn’t appreciate in school lol, historical romance, and I’ve been getting into nonfiction that covers big historical events - just finished Midnight in Chernobyl and loved it

I am in the same boat, so to speak. I’m a reader and I love seeing what authors are working on/publishing but I’m on #booksky as a book lover who wants to connect with other book lovers

It’s mostly because I don’t see a lot of books in the genres I connect to. I appreciate fantasy and YA books and have read some, but I don’t naturally connect to them. It feels like most posts are about these genres. So I tend not to interact as much.

Book cover with black background. Image of woman’s profile, but the top half of her head (eyes up) is the head and horns of a steer in a vibrant shade of red. In large white text is the book title “Tender is the Flesh” and next to the title in small white type is the quote: 

“This book will pull you in, take hold, and not let go until you reach the final page. Without a doubt, my favorite read of this year. - Christina Dalcher, author of Vox”

The image of the woman is stamped with a white circle (similar to a brand used on cattle) surrounding the author’s name Augustina Bazterrica.

Book cover in black and white - photo of preteen girl sitting on concrete steps leading up to a veranda surrounded by a manicured lawn and decorative bushes. The steps are cracked and worn. She is wearing a dress with a Peter Pan collar and her feet are bare. She has her legs hiked up and she’s leaning on her knees with her left arm propping up her head. She is gazing off to her right and her expression is grim. 

(Top) white text on black background “National Bestseller” (Top Center) Grey text “Ian McEwan” (Center) Ombré text grey and white “Atonement”

Page of text from the Introduction to The Grapes of Wrath. A portion of a Steinbeck quote is highlighted in read. It reads -

“…And since our race admires gallantry, the writer will deal with it where he finds it. He finds it in the struggling poor now.”

Picked up The Grapes of Wrath from my local library. It’s been on my list and I figured it’s time.

gallantry: the quality of being brave when something is difficult or dangerous

A book laying on what looks like a pink floral rug. The book is light yellow with a lightly marbled overlay. In the center is an image of a young boy and a genie riding a hoopoe. Beneath them is the print “Salmon Rushdie” and below this is the title “Haroun and the Sea of Stories”

Book cover - sepia toned photo of a lot of people at a long conference table hunched over paperwork. Papers scattered all over the table along with half-drunk cups of coffee, pencils, and ashtrays. In the center overlaying the photo is the title City Room Arthur Gelb
