Some days I just can't be bothered to paint anything too involved. But making something is better than making nothing! 🍊🍊 I had some fun just mindlessly creating this juicy oranges bookmark, while watching the Superbowl and chatting with @melvinpena.bsky.social #artsky

It's hard -- really hard -- to write great children, who act and behave as real humans and not just caricatures. Like Huck or Holden, Mattie Ross is both hilarious and credible. Really felt like I was listening to a 14-yo, not just some middle aged writer pretending to talk like one. #booksky

Sometimes you have to attack a read twice. Many years ago, I tried but DNF The Corner by @audacityofdespair.bsky.social and Ed Burns. My head was just not in it. Tried again this month, and I made it. Well worth the effort. More recs below 1/2 #booksky

Honestly I think it's a more satisfying read then Never Let Me Go. Please read this blind. It's much better knowing nothing as you go into it. #booksky

Better than using junkmail like I normally do to mark my place. #booksky #artsky

First book of the year. HATED. Ambitious project to update Dickens, whose genius saves secondary characters from becoming pure caricature. But that requires skill that Kingsolver clearly does not have. Uriah Heep is a legend. Uhaul is a plot device. 🤢 Oprah's book club 🤮 #booksky

My goal was 24 in '24. Hit 30 ... Lonesome Dove and East of Eden were mind blowing. What was everyone's fav read this past year? Building my list for 2025! #booksky

I am no fan of the American healthcare system. My sister, mom, and I spent NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS a month on my father's end of life Parkinson's care. But this victim was murdered in open daylight on the street. I'm shocked at what people think is cute political statement when it's just deranged.

Reading should be a joy and not a chore. If you're not in the mood or can't find just the right book, it's okay to take a break. I've never been a constant reader. We all have our own unique relationship with books. And, books are always there when you're ready for them.
