Pete buttigieg and squish that cat guy3/20/2023 I wish more of the authors’ work was translated into English… The Carpet Makers - a fascinating sci-fi story! More a series of interlocking short stories than a novel, it still manages to weave its stories together in a satisfying whole. Though the author’s written another book that looks intriguing… A little random and the main character’s obnoxious, but still funny, though not entertaining enough to make me want to continue the series. You don't realize just how much you depend on using both arms until you lose the use of one, even temporarily.ĭamned Lies - goofy comedy book. She's still recovering from surgery, and it might be awhile before she's fully better. Spent most of this week trying to survive the summer rush at work (libraries get CRAZY-busy during the summer, while kids are out of school and people are stocking up on books and audiobooks for vacation), and taking care of my mom. My sister always wonders how I can find my books, but I just know what room they are in- I put them there.ĭang, am I going to be among the first to comment this week? Wow. That way I can always find something to read in any room I am in. The rest of my shelves are put together by author, but there are so many book shelves running through my house that I divide up the genres. A variety of subjects so that whoever stays over is sure to be able to find something they like to read before bed. In my guest rooms I have a shelf of children's to YA books and a shelf of adult books that can all be read in two to three days. The way I organize books drives my sister (and I am sure most of you would agree) absolutely bananas. So my question is, does anyone know how to get rid of sugar ants? I am having an infestation and it doesn't matter how many times I scrub up the area- they are always marching on. Last summer someone had a problem with fruit flies and got a solution here. I have only read them once, right when they came out so I thought I would read them again. I also read the first four Harry Potter books. Grant- I finished this huge book that I have been reading for a month and a half (chapter a day). The Other Side of Midnight- a light mystery that I enjoyed. Oh well, it is fun to watch when you aren't trying to drive somewhere.ĭeath on the Nile- this Agatha Christie will always have a place in my heart as it is the first one I ever read. Nothing like preteens and their dads setting up fireworks in the middle of the street for a week. All our neighbors gave us Fourth worthy fireworks shows last night, so tonight will probably be really big. Happy Fourth of July to everyone in the U.S. Cookbooks I’d probably just group by type (baking, vegetarian, other) and size. The series of Best Short Stories volumes would be by year. In a perfect world, my books would be organized by genre (all cookbooks together, all gardening books together, all field guides together, etc) and then alphabetically in some way that makes sense to the genre. My house is a mess because I can’t be bothered to keep up with other people moving my stuff. I used this for the AtY category: “related to an element on the periodic table.”Ī spin-off from last week’s discussion, per Karen’s excellent suggestion: The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements by Sam Kean - this was ok but, for a layperson’s vaguely humorous history of science, it was not as good as Bryson’s A Short History of Nearly Everything. It is definitely “set in space” however, so that worked. I probably won’t continue with the series. This week I finished 2 books, one for this Challenge, so I am now 43/50.Īurora Rising by Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman - I was so disappointed in this book, it’s no where near as good as their previous series ( Illuminae). Our July monthly read of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet has begun, annnd our polls for choosing the monthly reads for the fourth quarter (ghost story, pop/sugar/challenge in the title, and published this year) are open until Sunday. It’s hot! Let’s thank Willis Carrier for inventing air conditioning. Sorry I’m late I forgot it’s Thursday!! (A belated Happy Canada Day to our Canadians!) And, finally, welcome to the Dog Days of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
