November was a good reading month, I finally feel like my attention span is returning!
Space was my main theme but I also read my 1st Agatha Christie too and loved it (apart from the very last lines🥴). December will be more of a mixed bag I think...

Ready to march for Palestine? For International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people, let's make this the biggest demonstration yet! There is no ceasefire. Our government must sanction apartheid Israel to make it end its genocidal crimes in Gaza and the West Bank. All out! #FreePalestine

They call it Black Friday —
a day for rushing, grabbing, and taking.
We love the quiet — the table, the laughter, the pieces made by hand for years of memory, not minutes of chaos.
Our pieces are shaped by hands, not hysteria.
We choose warmth over waste.
🖤🇮🇪✨

Lemass wasn’t the absolute worst (as FF Taoisigh go) but he did introduce the 1935 Conditions of Employment Act which restricted women’s access to the workplace. His biographer says he was sexist & regarded women’s employment as ‘contrary to the Irish way of life’, so that’s a no from me. #speirgorm

I really really love stuff like this, it has just scratched some part of my brain in such a satisfying way.

I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

Public health warning! ⚠️ Have a look at your hot water bottles and make sure they are not getting too worn.
Mine split on me this evening and I now have a scaldy big burny blister on my leg. Not fun but could have been a lot worse. 🫣😬

Not quite a winter read but who am I to control what decides to leap off the shelf at me at any given time, it's been waiting long enough!

Agh, I've been wide awake for ages and would like to start reading but it is still a bit too dark, my book light needs to be charged and other half is still asleep so I can't (shouldn't!) open the curtains fully. 📚🙏🏼📚🙏🏼
