As political strife continue and we get nearer to the election, you will see more trolls appear. Be mindful. If you sense the intention is not good. Trust that. Don't engage. No audience. No show. Also, don't blame it on people from Post.

I'm exclusively digital these days (crippling arthritis issues in my hands). My physical library was culled twice over the last 15 years, but I maintain a small "in case of emergency" library in a butlers pantry that is floor to ceiling bookshelves.

I used to buy close to a hundred books a year. We cut way back on buying all kinds of things a few years ago to reduce our impact on the environment. I miss new books and check out almost everything I read from the library now. Also tired of dusting all the books on our shelves.

I enjoy all the book discussions on Spoutible. I worked in libraries and bookstores for 25 years and never found many people interested in discussing reading and books. I do want to ask how many of you buy all your books or check them out of the library. #books

I buy a new book at least once a month to support my local bookstore. Also support my local used bookstore with a visit once a month. Then fill in from my wonderful local library. Just discovered #books on here.

Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver follows a boy named Damon from birth to manhood. Apparently following a similar storyline to David Copperfield, it tells the story of poverty, death, DSS, love, addiction and tragedy. Beautifully written, amazing story. Highly recommend.

Crying in the H Mart by Michelle Zauner is a memoir that reads like an ode to the author's mother and to Korean food. Her mother passed away from metastatic cancer that started in her bile duct, the same place my late husband's cancer started. RIP ❤️

Carry On by John Lewis provides reflections by the late Congressman on topics ranging from money, to voting, to non-violence, to staying dressed for the part. It was an extremely fast read, that made me smile and made me think.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot was a combination of science, family, drama, death, extreme racism in medicine, and of course, amazing HeLa cells. I don't want to give anything away, but I read this in one day, it was just that good.

The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride tells the story of a young Black boy caught between the Jewish woman who has been protecting him from the state and the town doctor who is also a Klansman, and his family's fight to get him back once placed in an asylum. Great, fast read.

The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin is a fast, thought provoking read. Sharing my favorite quote "Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time."

Kindred by Octavia Butler follows a young Black woman in the 1970s as she faints and finds herself in the South in the 1800s. She learns she is on a plantation where her ancestors are enslaved and must work to ensure their survival. A phenomenal book, over way too fast.

The Martin Luther King Jr Companion compiled by Coretta Scott King is a collection of MLK Jr quotes organized by topic. It is a very quick introduction to his beliefs and shares beautiful poetic lines such as “the oceans of history are made turbulent by the ever-rising tide of hate.”

One of the innumerable problems with anxiety is that even if you are aware that you are having increased anxiety levels, you can't simply "relax" or "just calm down" to ease your symptoms.

I read because I need to. Books feed my soul in a way that nothing else does. They may liberate my mind, or tie me in shackles, either way in them I am completely free. This thread will serve as my 2024 reads review, instead of dropping them all at the end of the year. Happy reading! 📚
