I have ADHD. The doctors say that is why I have so many half-finished projects. They say I get distracted and side-tracked. They are right. Yesterday, for ex, I got distracted and side-tracked by making cookies. They say that I can be medicated out of my condition. I hope not. #ADHD #Cookies #Xmas

My brother just texted me this. I think we can all agree now that the end of civilization as we know it is not immanent, but is here. It has arrived. #GetSmart #MaxwellSmart #Agent99 #Enshitification #EndOfCivilization #AIslop #AI

A fun and fascinating look at American bookstores and booksellers from Benjamin Franklin to Ann Patchett and lots of shops in between. Engagingly written with obvious love for books and book people -- and spills some interesting tea along the way. 💙📚 #booksky

Terrifically well-researched and engagingly written, Wild Thing: A LIfe of Paul Gauguin by Sue Prideaux is a brilliant bio of the artist with important insights about his life and work in cultural context, even for readers who already know his story -- or think they do! #booksky 💙📚

The poems in The Path of Most Resistance by @jessyrandall.bsky.social, her second book of poems about women in science, are witty, whimsical, strange, and deeply profound. Perfect read for people interested in the lives and works that history is always in danger of forgetting. 💙📚 #booksky

Jo March was the first model for many of us of how a young woman becomes a writer. Susan Cheever's Louisa May Alcott: A Personal Biography is a wildly engaging look at the life of the woman who wasn't Jo, but who imagined her into being. #booksky 💙📚

I Love Romcoms & I Am a Feminist by Corrina Antrobus is a fun read -- 100 short (1 page) essays about 100 romcoms and the feminist messages found in them. A really diverse list of movies and some interesting and provocative insights. 💙📚 #BookSky

Finished Agatha Christie by Lucy Worsley. While addressing Christie's shortcomings, like her antisemitism, nevertheless a sympathetic portrait of a woman of her time who went through a lot to become the world's best-selling mystery writer. Of the bios I've read of her, this is my fave. #BookSky 💙📚

If you want to take a break from the meanness all around us, I recommend 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff - a true story told in letters about kindness, generosity, making friends, and the importance of reading and caring about books! #BookSky💙📚

I'm sorry, but I gave up on The Bee Sting after 200 pages -- two graphic depictions of a little boy being beaten up and one of a little girl being sexually assaulted. The blurbs said things like "wildly entertaining," so maybe I bailed too soon. I'm a wimp, but I was not entertained.💙📚#BookSky

Finished The Invention of the Restaurant by Rebecca Spang -- an extremely detailed history of the rise of the restaurant, filled with stories of its gradual evolution in Paris from the mid-1700s to the mid-1800s. Not everyone's cup of bouillon, but if it's yours, this book is a can't miss. #booksky

Finished Orbital by Samantha Harvey -- ethereal, thoughtful, and beautiful -- how can anyone know so much about a life not their own and make it seem so real, living and breathing? Going inside six different heads floating high above the earth with empathy and insight. A tour de force.
