Started rereading Project Hail Mary today for a group at school. Was already reading Replaceable You by Mary Roach and Wuthering Heights. Both are great but now it feels like I have to eat my meat and vegetables before I can enjoy the dessert I want to have. #booksky #books

Rereading it now, about a third of the way through, mainly because I couldn’t remember it the way the movie previews suggest.

I remember being a kid and finding out he was a Wilmington native, along with Roman Gabriel, and thinking how cool it was . This was before Michael Jordan hit the national scene.

Sometimes you just need a good spy novel. Don’t remember who recommended it a few years ago but I found it before Christmas at a used bookstore. Gave it a try this week. Definitely recommend #books #booksky

No idea. Not sure I want to get to know a whole new world.

Some parts made me laugh out loud.
Spoiler alert- this book is just the first of at least 8, maybe 10 in the series.

My January list:
A bit all over the place seeing them like this but all were excellent:
The Odyssey by Homer
Only Son by Kevin Moffett
Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman
The Stone Witch of Florence by Anna Rasche

Been wanting to have a place to share what I’ve been reading and saw a post by @jaredthfc.bsky.social that seems simple enough. Just do a monthly thread. So here goes. #booksky

I like it. Think I’ll try it too, though my list is likely to be much shorter.
Thanks for sharing.

Folks make a good point about the library and digital options make it even easier. But some of us just want to have our own copies. I marvel at (and have benefited from) those who can read and give away, like to local library friends groups.

There is an artistic beauty to Jordan’s game that is hard to explain. This a great picture.

Made some for breakfast a few months ago and then proceeded to have it every Sunday since.

They each have their place.
Certain dishes require one over the other.
Keep both on hand.

Sitting here watching Drake Maye after leading his team to the Super Bowl - getting emotional like he’s my own kid. #GoHeels

Tez Walker just added a touchdown for the Ravens. Good day for Tar Heel pros. Thanks for the updates.

Was watching on Red Zone, Barney Fife call.

I read Circe first. Liked it better.
Both are interesting though. You can’t go wrong.

I’d love to see UNC - WFU next week but the secondary market being dictated by apps has made it so $200 is the starting price for a lower level seat. Most seats are much more. Even the nosebleeds are ridiculous.

Recently.in is for sale at Atom! Domain name recently.in is a powerful and evocative name that conjures feelings of freshness, timeliness, and innovation. It suggests a focus on the present moment and staying up-to-date with the late...

Bought one recently. It’s in the travel bag for a trip in a few weeks. Wish I’d known about it 21 years ago.

Another non-goal setter, but I do keep track of my yearly reads.
I select books like I used to pick cereal as a kid. Just stand in front of all the books I’ve collected until one feels right. Reading “The Odyssey”now before the movie comes out, which is another great motivation.

Probably going to bed at halftime but this has the makings of an all-timer.
Crazy action

Been in education for 30 years and this is the first year I’ve wondered what it is like to have to work during these 2 weeks. I’m thankful for the people in service industries, but can’t imagine not having this time off.

Picked one up for the family dinner tonight and the place was slammed
Did add a salad also

An excellent visit to Barnes & Noble for their post Christmas sale

I appreciate the positive approach you’ve taken, but my first thought was not positive.

Slightly embarrassed that 2 different people have called specifically requesting “my” pecan pie recipe when I use the one on the Karo syrup label. #food #Thanksgiving

Started “The Emperor of Gladness” by Ocean Vuong today. Tried to explain to my wife how the 1st 2 chapters have been like getting a slice of cake made with only the best, most natural ingredients. Great quality, great feel, can’t wait to have more. #booksky

I always wondered how I would spell “wuh woh” if I decided to use it.
Thanks for the help.

Tree up last Saturday
Ornaments on today
Other decorations? Who knows
