Happy Tuesday everyone! 💐 I think it’s easy

Happy Tuesday everyone!
💐
I think it’s easy to forget the hurt in the world, pack it away in the back of our minds and let it get dusty beneath the worries of the day. It’s something we shouldn’t do, because in forgetting the pain, we run risk of repeating mistakes.

I recently reread NIGHT by Elie Wiesel. I’d forgotten what a POWERFUL book this is, even though the writing isn’t complex. I recommend it for a read or reread. We shouldn’t become complacent on things like genocide. This book is a reminder of that.

Happy #ShelfieSunday everyone!

Here’s my TBR as it stands... more or less. I actually just finished THE LIFE AND (MEDIEVAL) TIMES OF KIT SWEETLY. I’ll be, hopefully, starting THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES. Looking forward to it - I’ve heard so many mixed opinions and I’m looking forward to finding out for myself.
📚
I’m heading out in about 30min to take my Series 99 FINRA exam and I’m so nervous. Passing will mean getting my life back from studying and being more secure in my job. I really want to pass. Wish me luck?

Happy #FunkoFriday everyone!

Do you have any pets? I have two cats, and they are such bundles of joy. And trouble. But definitely not trouble like Dino here. Dino reminds me more of some overly joyful large dogs. Which is what The Flintstones intended. 😁

Good morning, #BookishPeople! Happy Tuesday!
🧙‍♀️
Have you ever been to a place featured in a book? One of my FAVOURITE things when I am travelling is finding out what important stories (film and lit) were told there... and of course, the history of the place.
🧙‍♀️
Salem, MA is one of my favourite cities, and it’s featured in so many witchy stories. The Crucible is classic, but more recently, These Witches Don’t Burn was also set in Salem.

Happy #ShelfieSunday everyone!

Do you have, or have you ever used, a Little Free Library? I’ve only come across a couple, but I’ve been think about putting one in front of my house. We get a lot of back-and-forth traffic (my road is a pass through between the town center and this amazing local ice cream place) and I ALWAYS have books I’m unhauling. I’ve thought about mixing it with a “book date” where I wrap the books in brown paper and list three enticing details... and let people be surprised. But I don’t know. Just an idea I’ve been playing around with. I’d hate to go to all the time and effort just to have it never be used?
📚
What do you think? Have you ever used a Little Free Library? Would you use one if you had one nearby?

Today’s #FunkoPop is Gamora! This is the Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 edition... though have to admit, I far prefer the first movie! Which do you like better - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, or Vol. 2?
