Historian, lover of ink, peace seeker, realist, attempting pacifist, pragmatist, entrepreneur... perfectly flawed human, just like everyone else... trying to figure the way forward one step at a time.
Time to run... to the Oregon Historical Society to pick up a copy of this fabulous book on Steve Prefontaine ("Pre"). Love a good book talk. @Brendan O'Meara

Today is a good day in PDX. Overcast skies have cooled the summer heat (sadly also a bit muggy). A diner I wanted to check out is conveniently located right behind the Central Library, so I managed to pick up my new card AND get some work done. Happy read... uh, Friday!

Got this is a mystery date with a book pack from a garage sale (best $3 I've spent in a while). Very quick, fun, frustrating read. I love King's non-horror books. One of my favorite books ever is his 11/22/63. Phenomenal book! Wish there were more like that. This was fun, though.

Car show season means I get to read in different places many weekends. Today's reading place was @14 Acres Vineyard & Winery in Ridgefield, WA for the AMC Rendezvous. Book of choice was The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune. A longtime TBR. Enjoying it so far.

So, we did a thing yesterday. Her name is Rosemary (aka Rosie 💪). We are very much in love. ❤️🌹 She snorts funny and our other dog feels very dejected... but we're hopeful they'll be the greatest of friends soon. 💞 🤞

The end of the Oregon legislative session is severely cutting into my "fun reads" reading time and thoughtful posting... so please enjoy the memes while I muddle through the next two weeks. 🙏 thank you

I love this community!! Y'all are amazing. Just look at the responses. So many genres. So many different views, worlds, and places to get lost and find yourself. Such an assortment of adventures to dive into. I'm just in awe... scrolled and scrolled and saw few titles I knew.

This is correct #bookworm #romantic etiquette. Also, generous #bookish gifts work well!
My #kiddo's hubs took her to the #bookstore and told her to choose ANY 10 #booksbooksbooks for her bday! A class act 👏🏽
