Heresy to say, but I find Alice Munro to be an irony-free zone, and as a book-based lifeform who only reads for pleasure, she's not it. WMMF but there's mine.
Oof, so...guess what? Due to a very frustrating mistake, I had to temporarily "unpublish" my preorder option for A Waltz of Sinister Import (#3 in the Unexpected Adventures of Lady & Lord Riven)...which lost every one of its 200+ preorders! 😱
I am SO sorry for the inconvenience and frustration. 1/2
Which books would you recommend on Old Hollywood history?

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA
‘A Good Year’ is such a beautiful book, and Polis Loizou is a gem of an author. Y’all want sophisticated Greek literature, rooted in myth and culture and history, by an actual Greek?? It’s here, bbs
A delicious baby!

Everyone should have the joy of hundreds of pages of their great grandpa's weekly country newspaper filled with his chatty articles, tart opinions, and saucy jokes. My god, he's a delight.
Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking around a microscopic volvox algae colony. 🫧🐻🧪
Packing anxiety is a real thing! You'll be fine though. And anything you forget you can get there.
Bring Us Your Turkeys, Chickens, Vegetable and Wood We will take any quantity on subscriptions to The St. Paul Journal Send the paper to your friends, pay your own subscription well in advance, and tell your neighbors that they can get the paper too by this means (A full length photo of an older man in an old fashioned suit) Bill Morris says it's a "Nachral" Grump The St. Paul Journal
And a month later:
$700 Arrears on our Subscription List Among the large number in arrears with their subscription to The Journal are many who have no money and as an inducement to have them square their accounts we are asking them to bring wood, vegetables, turkeys or poultry (A full length photo of an older man in an old fashioned suite) He Looks Sore (an old fashioned graphic of a hand pointing to the next paragraph) So far the following were good enough to comply with our request: (list in small type) Many admit they cannot sell these things but surely they can pay their small accounts this way There are a few who promised to bring wood even last year but have not yet done so. These will be cut off our lists as well as others who are stalling The St. Paul Journal
A cajoling ad from my great-grandpa's country weekly newspaper. He looks sore!
