Happy Halloween! (This is a house we drove past very fast yesterday. I can’t believe it came out at all.)

But here’s a sneak peak at the 2025 White House ornament…

I did not know UNTIL TODAY that the Rose Garden was different from the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden. The Rose Garden is now a paved “club.” The Jacqueline Kennedy Garden was destroyed last week. It was on the opposite side of the White House near the former East Wing. Kennedy Garden on the right.

I like big trees and I cannot lie.

Current book: The Reading List By Sara Nisha Adams

Previous current book (I was traveling and forgot to post) James by Percival Everette Excellent book! Highly recommend! Five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

You know he wants it to be called “The Trump Ballroom.” He’ll probably use some of the money “donated” by colleges and universities who thought they should be able to control their own admissions practices. What a freaking narcissist. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I’d like to report some fraud and abuse, please.

My library was smart enough to purchase (or obtain) 10 more copies of @stephenking.bsky.social ‘s new book, Never Flinch! My 85-week wait is over after only 13 weeks! Perfect timing for my cross-country flight. As a Constant Reader, I’m excited that my FAVORITE author is still writing new novels!!
