Read most recent edition of @slightlyfoxed.bsky.social over long weekend. As usual, my TBR (or TB located/purchased) list expanded. Any book budget overruns I blame on @nonsuchbook.bsky.social, who pointed me to Slightly Foxed several years ago.
Who am I kidding? I have no book budget.

Annual village fireworks almost directly overhead last night. Created little cave in bathroom with musical distractions to ride out with dogs. This is how to check a that 14.5 yo dog’s hearing.

“Talk” for #NYRBwomen25 is like being stuck on Hampton Jitney in traffic, sitting in front of over-educated, under-occupied 29 yo’s. Or rather, on a LIRR local in 1965, stuck eastbound with creaky air-conditioning.

Great new issue. Have just ordered new Stein bio from @blackwells.bsky.social, along with the newJess Kidd, some Donal Ryan, Fortnight in Sept, and the autobiography of Alice B (which I vividly remember reading in my first apartment, 40+ years ago).

On uptown B train. After guy with music on speaker left, violinist started playing—in space of 3 minutes—Hava Nagila, Lara’s Theme from Dr Zhivago, and the theme music from The Godfather. It’s quiet now.

Terrific piece in @theatlantic.com by @xochitl1977.bsky.social on generational financial security, the anxiety of not having such comfort, and the frequent cluelessness of those who do (or do now) about those who don’t.

Got an email at 8:56 am EDT that Pinckney on Hardwick and the Helen Garner diaries have been “despatched”!
As if things aren’t bad enough. Let me play around and see if I can get an order through. A large order. And if they accept my pre-orders then they have to ship them right?
