My sister’s traveling to Venice, so I thought it time to read this gem…little did I realize it is the 1st in a series that now numbers 33! What have I started?! #readsandwanders #venicereads

I’m no musician, but damn, I’m sucked in by the rich tapestry of music woven into this mystery. #theviolinconspiracy #brendanslocumb

Is anybody else watching the TV show The Americas? It’s beautiful! And it throws out the occasional mind-blowing statistic. What a globe we live on! #theamericas 🌎

Bread and water can so easily be toast and tea! ✌🏻

It’s time for me to read and wander again! ✈️ To the Caribbean I go, so I’m taking: a Chick Lit set on St. John by the Queen of the Beach Read, and Historical Fiction about Barbados’ act of ignoring the 1834 UK Emancipation Proclamation written by a granddaughter of Caribbean immigrants to Britain.

In the 105th year of the NFL, Papa Bear Halas’ daughter, Virginia, passes away at the age of 102. Oh, what she had seen. #RIPVirginia

I may be a Chicagoan living in Denver, but #flyeaglesfly 🦅

Any day I crackle open the cover of a new read is my favorite day! #readsandwanders

Hawaii! A regular stop in my travels. 🌈 More complex than just America’s 50th state. The Polynesian Islands ebbed and flowed together for millennia before Captain Cook “discovered” them-for better or worse. You will be the better for stepping your sandals on Hawaiian soil! 🩴 #readingwithwanderlust 🖼️

Highly recommend the Seven Sisters series by Lucinda Riley. Inspired by the constellation The Pleides, they are very readable stories tied by the thread of seven sisters who were adopted, each from a different country. An entertaining way to learn.

(6/2024) On a rainy day in Bergen, no better read than the day-to-day life events of Norway under Nazi occupation. Norway was neutral in WWI, and sought to remain so in WWII - and then Hitler invaded April,1940. Scotland’s Shetland Islands were Norway’s lifeline. #readingwithwanderlust 🖼️

New year, new (to me) reads. #readingisfun #bookclub #readingislearning

I have a bookshelf with my fave book of that year, this year The Nature of the Beast by Louise Penny will be added. If you are not familiar with her Inspector Gamache cozy-ish mystery series, do yourself a favor! 🤓📚

Reading and wandering, it’s what I do.
