My daughter brought me flowers just for the heck of it. Does that count for #flowerreport, @haroldvondrehle.bsky.social ?

Same! Decided to re-read to see if it still had magic. It does.

Graciewilde @graciewilde.bsky.social · 1d

yes, this is a re-read for me. I loved it the first time back when it first came out and wanted to see if it held up. The answer is yes.

John Prine was a remarkable American treasure who left the planet way too soon. I'm not a fan of C/W but I just don't see him as rooted in that tradition. His songs are a gift to the people. Happy belated b'day, John (10/10).

Same! Here's my brief GR review , if you are interested. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Jt O'Neill's review of Buckeye

5/5: Just read it. You won’t regret it. Okay, the book is quirky (especially in the beginning) and a bit confusing at first. The characters take some sorting out. As the story goes along, however, th...

It really captivated me . Here's my brief GR review, if you are interested. Despite the 450 pages, it is a quick read b/c you don't want to put it down.

“They had to worry, and that was all. Worry was the reason they got up in the morning. The fuel of their lives. They lived in deference to it, honoring that imaginary pact made by parents everywhere: if we keep worrying, they’ll be okay.”

Mine was an easy pick--but also hard since there were so many to choose from in HOPE IN THE DARK by @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social:

We write history with our feet and with our presence and our collective voice and vision.

In October
I'll be host
to witches, goblins
and a ghost.
I'll serve them

with toast.
Whoopy once
Whoopy twice
Whoopy chicken soup
with rice.

This is my short review from way back when.

Jt O'Neill's review of The Worm at the Core

4/5: Ernest Becker's The Denial of Death was fascinating but his assertions had not been proven so the book lost some of its impact. Ten years after its publication, the three authors of The Worm at t...
