From your list, I've only read "Shuggie Bain". I enjoyed it a great deal.
Currently, I"m in the middle of "Tom Jones", by Henry Fielding. I guess it's a book that I will be only able to read during vacation, since it's quite long and I don't think it is suitable for intermitent reading.
What do you think, is there such thing as "read-only-on-vacation" books? #llibres#books#bookstodon@bookstodon
Hey, I'm so honored to be here with the cool crew on the Beige Party Boat!
I'm not allowed to follow any more people until after 8PM, says whomever's dad is in charge of that kind of thing.
As a little intro, for those who don't know me: I am an avid reader and reviewer of mostly fiction. I really do love to learn about anything, so hit me with your area of interest/expertise. I love all the arts. I am a champion of democracy, rights and equity for all. I will post about politics, but also about my dog Baxter, my wife J, and odd happenings in my neighborhood, etc.
Every Tuesday, I post a curated list of new book releases which I believe bear consideration.

Is there a hashtag you use for your Tuesday lists? I'm curious but having trouble finding it. (Sorry...my available minutes to scroll waaaay back are ridiculously limited lately.)
Toevallig zei ik voor de vakantie tegen m'n man dat het lang geleden was dat een film of boek me echt geraakt had. Nu ik 't Hooge Nest een paar dagen uit heb kan ik zeggen dat die periode voorbij is. Wat een verhaal. Ik blijf nadenken over hoe geleidelijk het allemaal leek te gaan en waar het eindigde. En ik zie zoveel parallellen met nu #WorldWar2#THoogeNest@boeken
The #RomanceForMaui auction is live, until 3pm EDT on Monday August 21; the original goal was a humble $5K, but the current total is siting just shy of $62K, with 281 items on offer.
I have two children diagnosed years ago as being on the Spectrum. My partner has suggested I am probably undiagnosed. I feel like it may explain some things.
So some questions:
Does anyone know that there is a hereditary link?
For those who've been tested later in life, I am late 50s, how has it affected you to know? Interested in both confirmed and negative test experiences.
Yesterday, we took a funicular (not pictured, unfortunately) and a cable car up to the Monjuïc Castle fortress. It's an impressive structure with excellent views of the city and there's an active park on the surrounding grounds, but it has a dark history. On multiple occasions, its cannon have been turned on the city below to administer collective punishment for resistance to the crown in Madrid. The fortress has also been the site of numerous atrocities. Look up the Bombardment of Barcelona (1842) for example.
The BBC creates news stories in more than 40 languages. So earlier this year we built a prototype to help keep track of them. https://bbcnewslabs.co.uk/projects/mat/
