It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: 100 years of The Blue Castle
Today I’m bringing you a suggestion I have on my TBR, The Blue Castle by L. M. Montgomery, the same author of Anne of Green Gables. Contrary to Anne, this book was written for adults, so check its trigger warnings.
The Blue Castle was first published in 1926, so it’s a good excuse to read it this year and celebrate its centenary. You can get the book through Project Gutenberg or, if you have a Kobo, through the specific format at Standard Ebooks.
What are you reading?

This is the third post I am making on this fabricated "outrage"
When I death cleaned my parents house, I threw out close to 1000 books.
Threw out as in recycling, together with plastic bottles and aluminum foil.
NO ONE WANTED MY OLD BOOKS.
NOT EVEN FOR FREE.Let me repeat that for the pearl clutching folks in the back.
NO ONE FUCKING WANTED MY OLD BOOKS !!!
At least ingested into the orphan crushing machine, they may survive in some form.

Today, I received a phone book with my mail. A hard copy. Yellow pages and all.
I wasn't even aware that was still a thing.

The understated, unselfconscious boosterism of this map's caption:
"Map showing location of interesting places"
(From The Flow of Time in the Connecticut Valley, by two geologists, George Bain and Howard Meyerhoff, originally published in 1942, republished in 1976)
These include an asbestos mine, several lead mines, and Mt. Sugarloaf, among other items.

#Google used to use #ReCAPTCHA to digitise #oldBooks. A good and fair use of the #technology, if and only if, you can access said #books #freely. Remember the two word #CAPTCHAs, that's what they were.These latest ones are about helping produce #selfDrivingVehicles. I don't trust them to do this. I done trust anyone to do this.
Don't do them.
If you must, use the #voice variant, and be creative with it *wink*.
