"I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book!" - Jane Austen

Wishing every day felt a little like a rainy Sunday morning — quiet, soft, and kind.

#booksky #reading #books #dog

A cozy scene of someone lying in bed on a floral-patterned blanket, gently petting a small fluffy dog while holding open a book with a pen resting across its pages. The soft lighting and relaxed setting evoke a peaceful, rainy Sunday morning mood. Overlaid text reads, “May all your days be rainy Sunday mornings.”

A little sunlight, a little reading, and a whole lot of feelings. I hope today was a good day for you, reader. 🌻

by the time you become a main character in a book, you should have one or all of:
- dead parents
- your hometown burned to the ground
- an ancient prophecy you never asked for
- your author's baggage and trauma

I’m not a practicing Catholic anymore, but I cried when I heard about Pope Francis’s passing. He was the best pope of our time—kind, humble, and someone who truly tried to move the Church forward.

This is my favorite photo of him. Thank you, Papa Francisco.

A photo of Pope Francis during his papal visit in the Philippines. This shot was taken in Tacloban, after a devastating typhoon damaged the province. Pope Francis held mass at the airport, enduring strong winds and rain, along with the devotees. He is wearing a yellow plastic raincoat, waving and smiling at the Filipino people that braved the rain to see him.

“We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edges of print. It gave us more freedom. We lived in the gaps between the stories.” - Margaret Atwood

What do I want for Christmas?

A mysterious manor in the Scottish countryside, a vast expanse of land, a library of vintage novels, a collection of the world’s rarest wines, an owl to deliver and retrieve my post, and my own personal pastry chef.

I'm really not that hard to shop for.

Have I read all the books I own? No. Will I continue to buy more while also re-reading my favs? Absolutely. I live in a lawless land. #booksky #books #reading

Another reminder to quit book shaming people. Let people read and write whatever they want! #booksky

WTG New Jersey!

Gov.Phil Murphy just signed a law prohibiting public schools and public libraries from banning books and protecting librarians who follow state law.

Thank you @govmurphy.bsky.social

This is how you resist!

Remember that books are going to be harder to find. Public libraries might be something that they go after. I know that food is #1 priority, but knowledge should be in your top 5.

Please stay safe and please educate yourself.
