Finished a bunch of books recently, as pictured. None qualified for any of my Book Bingo spaces.
The one that really stuck out to me was Nigeria Jones by Ibi Zoboi. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could. Very engaging coming of age book about a girl in a black separatist community

Ballot #5 is from a voter who wishes to remain anonymous. As a refresher, we are unable to report adds or drops, if any, on anonymous ballots.
This is the first ever known David Wright-only ballot. There will not be a unanimous inductee this year.

Day 3 of good things from this year:
My wife and I finally found a babysitter up to the task of watching my 4 kids plus a grant, through post-adoptive services, that helps pay for it

Day three: In June I got to meet Houston legend and meteorological marvel @mattlanza.bsky.social at Brazos Bookstore. He was there speaking about the 1900 Galveston Hurricane, a subject I’ve connected with and learned a lot more about this year

It would be easy & completely understandable to reflect on this year & only see all of the terrible things that occurred. I want to look back on all of the GOOD things everyone experienced. For December I plan to share one good thing every day that brought me joy this year. I encourage you to join

I love this idea! I'll share two things today that brought me joy this year since I missed yesterday.
1.) Finding #Astros Bluesky. Finding a community of Astros fans is awesome since I'm over a thousand miles away
2.) Relearning how to bake pies - tasty and keeping a family tradition alive

Owen Tippett gets taken down with a clear path to the empty net, and that means it's a goal! Flyers up 5-3 now.

Finished the three pies and the cranberry sauce! Tomorrow I make the rest! Well, not the turkey. All the sides.
If I'm even less active than normal for the off-season, it's because we're hosting the in-laws. 12 people in the house for the next 4 days! 💀
