I am listening to the audiobook. At this point I had to look up the characters and setting to get my bearings. I decided to restart the book now with better knowledge and I can understand it much better!

At first I was shocked 🫪 and I continued reading 📖 and then I forgot that it's on 2nd POV 🫣

It's just amazing how it flows so naturally.

Toni Morrison

The Wandering Inn (The Wandering Inn, #1)

Pirateaba Pirateaba

“No killing Goblins.” So reads the sign outside of The Wandering Inn, a small building run by a young woman named Erin Solstice. She serves pasta with sausage, blue fruit juice, and dead acid flies on request. And she comes from another world. Ours. It’s a bad day when Erin finds herself transported to a fantastical world and nearly gets eaten by a Dragon. She doesn’t belong in a place where monster attacks are a fact of life, and where Humans are one species among many. But she must adapt to her new life. Or die. In a dangerous world where magic is real and people can level up and gain classes, Erin Solstice must battle somewhat evil Goblins, deadly Rock Crabs, and hungry [Necromancers]. She is no warrior, no mage. Erin Solstice runs an inn. She’s an [Innkeeper].

All the rabbit trails

Walking as aid to thinking. Walking as meditation, a practice that lets you think with the insight of the dreaming mind and let's you see things normally hidden in plain sight.... There's a deeper, left-handed maneuver the psychogeographers explored less often, if at all: stepping off the sidewalk, going through the fence, to see how the city also hides the natural world it works so hard to erase.

This chapter has sent me down so many rabbit trails of thoughts and books to add to my TBR and potential plans for my weekend...it's also been the inspiration to my new list, Life in the Liminal, which has mostly just been a landing spot for books I NEED to read and don't want to forget exist!

I currently live next to a swamp...like, my house is about 20 ft or so from the edge during wet season. This is very much an edge space that is home to a biodiversity I have only explored the surface of. I want to make maps of this swamp. Like, here's where the Mother Tree lives, there's the big skunk cabbage patch, and that's the fallen tree the resident bear likes to cross over. But I'd also like to take a map of my town and mark it up with my findings and discoveries, too. Actually, this sounds like a fun activity to do with my daughter to keep her away from screens all day. This might also be a wonderful excuse to buy us both a couple new notebooks to record our adventures and findings! Lol!

The Wander Society

Keri Smith

From the internationally bestselling creator of Wreck This Journal... wan·der verb \ˈwän-dər\ to walk/explore/amble in an unplanned or aimless way with a complete openness to the unknown Several years ago when Keri Smith, bestselling author of Wreck This Journal , discovered cryptic handwritten notations in a worn copy of Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass , her interest was piqued. Little did she know at the time that those simple markings would become the basis of a years-long, life-changing exploration into a mysterious group known only as The Wander Society, as well as the subject of this book. Within these pages, you’ll find the results of Smith’s A guide to the Wander Society, a secretive group that holds up the act of wandering, or unplanned exploring, as a way of life. You’ll learn about the group’s mysterious origins, meet fellow wanderers through time, discover how wandering feeds the creative mind, and learn how to best practice the art of wandering, should you choose to accept the mission.

Ghost Trees

Bob Gilbert

Nominated for two major literary awards, this is an urban nature book telling the story of an historic part of London through its trees, past and present. Even in the brick and concrete heart of our cities, nature finds a way. Birds and mammals, insects, plants and trees—they all manage to thrive in the urban jungle, and Bob Gilbert is their champion and their chronicler. He explores the hidden wildlife of the inner city and its edgelands, finding unexpected beauty in the cracks and crannies, and uncovering the deep and essential relationship that exists between people and nature when they are bound together in such close proximity. Beginning from Poplar, the East End area in which he lives, Bob explores, in particular, our relationship with the trees that have helped shape London; from the original wildwood through to the street trees of today. He draws from history and natural history, poetry and painting, myth and magic, and a great deal of walking, observing and listening. Beautifully written, passionate and defiant, Ghost Trees tells the secrets and stories of the urban wildscape, of glorious nature resilient and resurgent on our very doorsteps.

On the Natural History of Destruction

W.G. Sebald

W.G. Sebald completed this controversial book before his death in December 2001. On the Natural History of Destruction is his harrowing and precise investigation of one of the least examined silences of our time. In it, the novelist examines the devastation of German cities by Allied bombardment and the reasons for the astonishing absence of this unprecedented trauma from German history and culture. This historical void is in part a repression of things -- such as the death by fire of the city of Hamburg at the hands of the RAF -- too terrible to bear. But rather than record the crises about them, writers sought to retrospectively justify their actions under the Nazis. For Sebald, this is an example of deliberate cultural amnesia. His analysis of its effects in and outside Germany has already provoked angry painful debate. Sebald's novels are rooted in meticulous observation. His essays are novelistic. They include his childhood recollections of the war that spurred his horror at the collective amnesia around him. There are moments of black humor and, throughout, the sensitivity of his intelligence. This book is a study of suffering and forgetting, of the morality hidden in artistic decisions, and of both compromised and genuine heroics.

Foster

Claire Keegan

Claire Keegan's piercing contemporary classic Foster is a heartbreaking story of childhood, loss, and love; now released as a standalone book for the first time ever in the US It is a hot summer in rural Ireland. A child is taken by her father to live with relatives on a farm, not knowing when or if she will be brought home again. In the Kinsellas' house, she finds an affection and warmth she has not known and slowly, in their care, begins to blossom. But there is something unspoken in this new household--where everything is so well tended to--and this summer must soon come to an end. A story of astonishing emotional depth now expanded and newly revised in a standalone edition, Foster showcases Claire Keegan's great talent and cements her reputation as one of our most important and prodigious storytellers.

took a trip to the library

i’m sure so many folks here are frequent flyers at the library but if not i just came to spread a little library propaganda. WOW! i moved from my hometown about 2 years ago and i never got around to getting a library card because i was anxious they would say no since i hadn’t updated the address on my license yet. news flash they literally don’t care and i brought them a piece of mail instead. but the overall experience was awesome! there were so many amazing things you can rent out like free internet access for your home, craft kits, and switch games! it was incredible. i can’t wait to go back. im also trying to move away from buying new books every time i want to read something. if you’ve been putting off getting your library card…this is your sign. 📚⭐️

FOLLOW THE SMOKE Coco and her peers follow Olruggio and Luluci as they deftly ferry a wounded Qifrey to the underwater Great Hall where witches gather. To their surprise, Beldaruit of the Three Wise Ones awaits the young apprentices at the bottom of the ocean... And he's willing to offer another trial after Agott's and Richeh's was cut short. But the spells and tests of Beldaruit are as much a mystery to unfold as his past, and Coco may be the only one who can put the pieces together and close in on the startling truth...
