It’s interesting to me how many constantly complain about daily life, about where they live, about the people in charge—at work or of the country, about all of the unjustness and unfairness, even so far as to wish death upon certain people.

As much as a peaceful world would be great, it’s not going to happen. I don’t say this as a pessimist, but as a realist. One side will always be against the other. This platform here is no different than the others in the sense that it’s simply another side to all. I see hate spewed from the left just as much as I saw it spewed from the right on other platforms. The memes here are just the opposite from the other side. No difference, it’s just when you have a group of people who agree with you, you tend to feel more comfortable.

To me, both sides are appalling. I’ve backed off posting here lately because of all of the nonsense. It’s disheartening to say the least, it was wishful thinking on my part to think it could truly be different.

The sound of the rain is glorious, a reminder to slow down, which is what I’m doing this morning. If this is how the weekend is going to play out-I’m game. #books #fridayreads

* What makes a book unputdownable?

- intriguing characters
- unique premise
- balanced plot
- real life events/people
- books with a strong personal connection
- the next installment (a series)
- short chapters

Or something else?

* I came across this question from readingladies.com, which is a blog I occasionally read. #books #bookstodon #question

In case anyone is wondering if there is any engagement on here— this is the list of every book recommended after I asked if you’d share one book you enjoyed this year. You can scroll underneath the original post to see these, but I think seeing them all together shows the true awesomeness of the people on here.

Thanks for being pretty darn great ❤️

From time to time I will read a series, but when I do, it’s not back to back. The Lonesome Dove quartet is one such series. I’ve decided to read them in chronological order, rather than the order they were written. I’ve read Dead Man’s Walk & Comanche Moon. Up next: Lonesome Dove. I’m not sure when I will start, sometime this year I think, especially since I received this beautiful edition (that I have been eyeing for sometime).

Do you read book series, if so, what’s a favorite? #books #photography #read @bookstodon
