The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See

Now listening. I’ve enjoyed See’s writing since a friend gave me “Island of the Sea Women” for Christmas some years ago. #CurrentlyReading #NowReading #BookSky #AudioBooksCount

The Cabin by Jørn Lier Horst, translated by Anne Bruce.

Now reading — some Nordic noir. #CurrentlyReading #NowReading #BookSky #Books

That’s a great one!

Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt.

Now reading. I am a little afraid of the bitey monsters in the ocean, but find the octopus *fascinating*. #CurrentlyReading #NowReading #BookSky #Books

Well worth the read, so far.

Finding my Way by Malala Yousafzai

Now reading — another author I admire! #CurrentlyReading #NowReading #BookSky #Books

The Smiling Land: all around the circle in my Newfoundland and Labrador, by Alan Doyle.

Now reading — another Christmas gift. I’ve heard Alan Doyle speak a few times, and of course I love his music, too. The book makes me want to take a trip out east! #CurrentlyReading #BookSky #NowReading #NonFiction #Travel #Newfoundland

Theo of Golden by Allen Levi

Now reading. It’s a little sickly-sweet so far, if you know what I mean. Still, I persist. I’ve heard so much good about this one! #CurrentlyReading #NowReading #BookSky #Books

Poor old guy. And poor you as well! That must be very stressful.

Probably “Demon Copperhead” for prose & “Bonememory” for poetry. @annaveprinska.bsky.social

2025 — I read 127 books, including 13 audiobooks (they totally count) and 10 books of poetry. Hoping to increase the poetry in 2026! #CurrentlyReading #NowReading #AudioBooksCount #poetry #books #BookSky

"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention."

Francis Bacon, ever relevant on reading habits.

The Correspondent by Virginia Evans

Now reading — something lovely to finish out my year. #NowReading #CurrentlyReading #BookSky #Books

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

"a.i." is a tool to circumvent the cognitive process. Our job as teachers is to teach cognitive processes. How can the two possibly compatible,

I love that song!

I’m glad!

The Art Thief by Michael Finkel

Settled on non-fiction this morning. Hoping for some excellent books for Christmas! #NowReading #CurrentlyReading #BookSky #NonFiction

I like most things — I think I need something not too taxing. My brain isn’t braining all that well. What did you read last that really grabbed you?

The handsome face of Wally, the Golden Retriever, seen in profile. What a dog!

I need something to read! I’ve been sick, brain is full of snot, and it took me 10 days to finish “Leonard & Hungry Paul.” All suggestions welcome. Pic of Wally as a bonus! #CurrentlyReading #BookSky #NowReading #GoldenRetriever #DogsofBluesky
