I've been reading some #horror #books for Spooky Season, and then watching different versions of movies based on them. For example, Carrie, with the OG movie and the new mini series.

Currently reading Rosemary's Baby.

Which got me thinking: Are there any Fedi #bookclubs ?

Could get all fancy with a virtual hangout on a schedule, or just a time folks post their thoughts in a thread.

Anyone on #Bookstodon doing this? Or interested in doing this?

Joined the book club at work but left very soon after when my suggestion that we read a Margaret Atwood novel was met with gasps and incredulity about why anyone would want to read such dark books.

#BookClubs #Bookstodon #books

This quote from Taiwan Travelogue is such a timely quote in a world being increasingly exploited and destroyed by tourism.

#MastoLitClub #Bookstodon #Books #BookClubs

The blog asks: Would Christianity look different today if these gospels stayed? A provocative read for #HistoryNerds and #BookClubs.
#books #bookreview
https://thisgrandpablogs.com/missing-gospels/

"Technically, yes, but—-in the end, a privately hired female Islander interpreter is not so different from an odd-job worker, no?"

This quote from Taiwan Travelogue feels all too familiar to me. Working in an international school in the country of my birth means I am sometimes viewed with suspicion regarding my capabilities. As a “local hire”, and female at well, I had to do much more to prove myself.

Reading Crew Reads: People We Meet on Vacation

Did you miss me? I know I haven’t been consistent with my blogs but thank you all for being patient with me and joining me back. This episode was supposed to be uploaded in July but I am not consistent, as my day one followers/readers know.

Last week, there was a devasting tornado, derecho, and hurricane level winds that burst through my neighborhood. This event was the worst natural disaster to hit our area ever. NIPSCO has had a hard time keeping up with renewing everyone’s power outages. I’m wishing everyone my condolences as our community struggles to get back to normal.

I wanted to have this podcast uploaded last week with a new one this week, but having no power delayed me again. I don’t know about you all but I’m officially done with summer…we even talk about the cons of summer in this book! My mom and I are so ready for fall weather, despite us loving to be in the pool.

Speaking of my mom this is her birthday week so help me wish her a Happy Birthday in the comments below and we hope you enjoy our take on Emily Henry’s People We Meet on Vacation. Viewer discretion is advised.
