The Lost Library is a little middle grade book treasure. It is a pure declaration of love to librarians and little free library stewards and how they unite the Community and help make it better. I deeply enjoy this sweet mystery adventure with a paranormal twist. It is simply lovely ! If you love books, cats, cheese, tea and are always on the hunt for a little free library, this book will be a hit !
Finishing up The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma this week. I started this in July and set it down when we got back home from the cabin. I think it's time I get back to it.
I am determined to finish a book this weekend. I have a couple going from before we came back from the cabin at the beginning of last month.
What are you #reading this weekend?
@mmiasma@bookstodon A good one. That was the only banned book in my high school, but my AP English teacher allowed a student to read it for a paper as long as they didn't bring it to school with them.
I finished this book last night and loved it. It's set in an alternative Victorian-era world where magic is real. The world is like ours though in that women can't vote and the lowers classes have pretty crappy lives. This book is about three sisters who decide to try to use witchcraft to get the vote for women, but the story turns into way more than that. Fun magic system. It explores family dynamics, power, and is super feminist. Highly recommend. @bookstodon#Bookstodon#Fantasy#Witches
Making bread this morning. Cinnamon sugar bread is up first. It's in the bread machine mixing now.
Now I just have to figure out what kind to make once that's done. I need another sandwich bread because the 15 year old made a pretty Italian loaf, but it's also small. It will only last today for sure.
Have any recommendations for good bread machine cookbooks? I am currently using The No Mess Bread Machine Cookbook and The Ultimate Bread Machine Cookbook.
@Jennifer@bookstodon I have made their English muffin bread, but I haven't tried anything else there. I have everything for the wheat bread so I may make that. Thanks!
@Jennifer@bookstodon
3 cups bread flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 egg
2 teaspoons yeast
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Use sweet bread or white bread setting.
I have been trying to find something to read, but nothing is standing out to me. I guess I am in a slump of some sort. Any recommendations are welcome. I read just about anything, but very little fantasy. I enjoy nonfiction especially nature or social justice focused. I love middle grade books and some YA. So throw anything at me and maybe I will find something to get me out of this slump.
@snoopy_jay@bookstodon I really just use it to keep track of what I read. I read between 150 and 300 books a year so it helps me make sure I don't buy duplicates or start to reread something I have already read. I used Goodreads for years for this and still check the books I have logged there.
