I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to open themselves up to something a little different, fresh, thought-provoking, and intriguing. #bookreview #bookrecs #fiction #literary fortandfield.blogspot.com/2026/07/book...

Send help. 5 books from the library + 9 books approved on NetGalley = 14 books to devour. Luckily, it's perfect outside reading weather! #books #TBR #weekendreads #booksky #SciFiFantasy #netgalley #booknerd

The first book in the Bobiverse series, We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor, took me completely by surprise. While I went in expecting a simple slapstick space romp, I found an incredibly complex story where humor adds genuine depth to the characters. #booksky #bookrec #SciFiBooks #scifi

The past few days I raced through my to-do list so I could spend all the spare moments reading two books by Jean Hanff Korelitz, The Plot & The Sequel. #books #bookreview #booksky #booklover #reading #book @celadonbooks.bsky.social @macmillanpubusa.bsky.social app.thestorygraph.com/books/0dbd63...

Don't let the serious cover art fool you, this is a delightfully clever page turner that weaves a smattering of sci-fi, history, & a whodunit into a complex wondrous tale. Sometimes the books you stumble upon are the best, like this one. Highly recommend! #books app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/7e89...

Zipped through Game Changers, completely wound up in the push-and-pull dynamic & relatability of Kip/Scott. In contrast, Heated Rivalry was less compelling w/ repetitive dialogue/scenes. Yet, I'm excited to continue w/ the series. #gamechangers #heatedrivalry app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/49d9...

I like how now trying to finish the novel before my library loan expires counts as excitement.

I've written a series of blog posts on prepping in case anyone is interested. The focus is on inexpensive and simple actions. Hope you'll find it useful, even if you just utilize the tips for your every day routine! fortandfield.blogspot.com/search/label... #prepping #foodstorage #cooking #homestead

A lesson in being in the moment. Was taken aback by the sunset last night shining its golden light onto the trees and spots of open water on the lake. I planned to walk down and take a closer look. Yet, within minutes the light was gone. #sunset #lake #photography #nature #minnesota

I think I will in fact make this for Sunday lunch tomorrow...

#weekendreads 📚 Already 100 pgs into HEATED RIVALRY & immersed in the new romance. Hwvr, I wish the series used a few more books to go into Scott & Kip's relationship because I was enjoying them so much. Assume THE PLOT will be good, went ahead & got THE SEQUEL #gamechanger #gamechangers #books

In an essential role during Covid, I worked non-stop during that period. So, I didn't get to learn artisan bread making like everyone else - nor take part in numerous virtual happy hours ;) I'm making up for lost time by catching up on all the things I missed. #artisanbread #baking #bread #baker

Also reading THE CRUELTY OF NICE FOLKS by Justin Ellis, an incredibly timely book about the history of Minneapolis and the distance between its reputation as a very progressive place and the truth of how white supremacy has shaped it. A really fascinating and thought-provoking read. #ewgc

Along with everyone else on the planet, I just finished reading Project Hail Mary. And, it’s sitting up there as one of my favorite books ever, so imaginative & detailed! If you’re not familiar with it, first climb out from under your rock…j/k. #projecthailmary #bookrecs #booksky #books #readers

Minnesota has gotten a lot of attention and ❤️ lately. Here’s a glimpse into the beautiful life here. Seasons other than Winter truthfully are very short. Yet, Minnesotans take full advantage of every day of the year. #minnesota #seasons #photography

Hi there! Moved to a small town in central MN near where I grew up, bought a 70's cabin home on one of MN's 10,000 lakes, & am in the process of making it my own through a little love, white paint, & thrifted finds. Also, love gardening, cooking from scratch, & am a voracious reader! #newhere #intro
