Oct 5-11 is Banned Books Week.
Quote from one of my favorite authors & series, Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas who is one of the most banned authors of the 24-25 school year - 7 books in the top 50, 2 in the top 10

I had fun posting on my congressional delegation’s shut down posts today. It’s funny how many people told me to go take a civics class or how stupid I am for not understanding Rs don’t have control of the government bc they don’t have a supermajority
Fun to see how many supported the comment too

I’m on the struggle bus with Primal of Blood and Bone. All of Soul’s 560pg in a room, now at 380pg into book 5 we’ve barely left same room The first half of book could’ve been a couple chapters
Disappointed but
too far in to quit now, I shall power through but it will take longer than usual

Found 1st Edition 1st and 2nd print, original cover art hardcovers at a used bookstore. Not too shabby

Slightly non trad movies to “celebrate” the day

This administration is withholding congressional approved federal funding to public and private schools. Here is a post about one small town in Nebraska.

I recommend!

Today’s signs for my small town, red state No Kings protest. Very good turnout and lots of honking drive by support. PD and SO presence was positive supportive. A couple red neck MAGAts tried to be tough but didn’t get to “prove” themselves. Feeling invigorated for the next steps.

So pretty
My happy place
Shepard King Duology special editions by Rachel Gillig
Room for more

New book cabinet in. This thing was HEAY! So much room to display and opens up space in other places in the house. Gotta love an estate sale for cool, unique items

Jackson Street Booksellers. A book lover’s paradise. Found a first edition copy of Gathering Storm 😁 (Wheel of Time)

Running out of book display space, while I find something that fits both my style and budget I am making due with alternative displays 😁
(And before you ask - yes! I have read every one of these)

And now a little Saturday afternoon vibe for you.
After going through the blizzard and being without power for days it was nice to go out and have positive nature fun

A little Saturday morning vibe for you

Why, you ask, do I find the stair stepper a superior workout machine compared to the treadmill? Obviously it’s bc I can read my book on the stair stepper.

Kindred by Octavia E Butler

Finally, he gets know what it feels like to be interrupted while reading. Payback’s a bitch

Life hasn’t given me as much time as I’d like for reading this week, but can you tell shit just got serious?
