Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

October wrap up: 50 Books in October; 405 for 2025. See replies for my favs....and one oddball!

Not even halfway in and was crying so hard I couldn't see the screen and had to ask my husband through sobs for 5 Kleenexes because I knew 1 wouldn't be enough. She's doing an excellent job of the inner thoughts of someone going through infertility. #BooksofBlueSky #BeckaMack 📚💙

My 375th book for the year was the final book of the Game Changers series. I think I may have my first book hangover since finishing Boys of Tommen in June. I desperately need the US to get streaming rights to Heated Rivalry ASAP. #booksky #HeatedRivalry 📚💙

I love when Max turns into taxidermy 🤣 #corgi #dogsofbluesky #dogs #foster

Noticed this morning Max has some blue in his eye! #corgi #dogsofbluesky #dogs #foster

September Wrap Up! 40 books for the month 355 total for the year Favs: The Bodyguard, Once Upon a Boy Band, and Wild Card 📚💙 #BookSky

Been trying to get Max comfortable with snuggling. He won't jump up on the couch himself but will pace the house until you pick him up and put him on it. Finally got him to relax enough to take a nap. He's such a sweet boy & I'm guessing we'll have him adopted by the end of the week. #dogs #corgi

Foster #48 arrived Wednesday. His name is Max. He is super adorable and pretty chill so far. The only noise he's made was whining last night after he got fixed yesterday but he's better today. He loves to sit outside and gets along with our dogs....even the spicy one! #corgi #dogsofbluesky #dogs

August reading results - 45 books for a total of 315 for the year. Did my very first ARC called Twelve and a Half Summers by Ria Charya. Would recommend it if you want something quick with a HEA. #booksky 📚💙

Single bed (couch) trope. Gotta get that pillow wall up! #booksky #dogsky 💙📚

Halfway through book 7 of an 8 book series and everything is working out and everyone is happy.....and I'm really scared of what the next book and a half will bring. This isn't my usual genre of book but I'm loving this series so much! #booksky 📚💙

Goku got adopted! It was a quick one too. They walked into PetSmart, said "should we?" to each other and immediately filled out the app. Taking a short break and will get another foster in a couple weeks! #dogsofbluesky #foster #adopted #dogs

Goku is ready for the WWE! He's been such a fun guy to foster! Omar is loving having someone to play with this week! Smoochie is just hoping it to get squished on the couch. 🤣 #dogsofbluesky🐶 #dog #WWE

"He's trying to speak to me, I know it!" Foster #47 - Goku #dogsofbluesky

Foster #47 is Goku! He's a pug/Boston mix (supposedly). Got along with our dogs great immediately. Only 37% crazy and the rest is all snuggles. He's such a handsome boy! #dogsofbluesky #pugs #BostonTerrier 🐶

Foster #46 was Snoop. He ended up being too rough with our dogs and since he was a BIG boy we unfortunately had to return him. He got a short reprieve from the shelter & they now know more about him to help future adopters. He was very snuggly & curious. Potty & crate trained. #dogsofbluesky 🐶

Smoochie is one of our two dogs. He's our lone wolf and usually will forcibly snuggle for 30 seconds then won't acknowledge you for 3 days. Today he decided he's a snuggler and has sat on my lap for 30 mins. We are both very unsure about this scenario though. #dogsky 🐶👀

July wrap up. 40 books - 260 total for 2025. Goal for August is to read some of the books on my physical bookshelf that have been staring at me across the room while I read things on my Kindle. 😬

June Wrap Up: 35 for the month. 225 for the year. Best: Boys of Tommen series/Chestnut Springs series/Till Summer Do Us Part Worst: Wedding People Oddest plot to have to describe to someone: Out on a Limb/Under Loche and Key Most traumatizing: Releasing 10 #Booksky 📚💙

Last night at 11:59pm I finished the final (for now) Boys of Tommen book. I went in mostly blind and I had no idea what I was getting into. This series changed my brain chemistry. The range of emotion from the giggles to cackling to weeping. I loved it but need a silly romance now. #booksky📚💙 #BOT

New record of 50 books this month! Lots of late nights staying up to read several great series...and one series I had to force myself to finish bc I bought the whole thing in paperback. On to June! #booksky 📚💙

I knew it'd happen eventually but I "finally" read 2 books in a row with similar plotlines! Realized about 75% through Book Lovers that one thing was similar then came up with several other similarities. Probably would have never caught it if there'd been more than 24 hrs between books. 📚💙

It's been a long time since we got hail larger than a teenie pea. Thankfully I got home about 5 mins before it started. It's hailing milk duds! 😬

I'm learning a new level of anger when a book is recommended to me, I wait 8, 10, 16 weeks in a Libby queue for it to come available only to open it up and say "#2 in a series"....and #1 isn't available ANYWHERE. If you need me I'll be screaming into the void today. 🤣 📚💙

April is dooooone. 45 books read. I went heavy on the romance this month but I had a lot of series I was finishing up and new authors found! May will hopefully be more mysteries. Favorite authors this month: Abby Jimenez, Emily Henry, Amy Award, Elissa Sussman, Josh Gad, and Ashley Poston. 📚💙

Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry is like The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo + a side of extra romance and had a very satisfying ending. #booksky 📚💙

After 43 days in our care, squishy, velvet-headed Freddie got adopted! He goes to his forever home on Friday afternoon! And the best part is his owners are friends with another dog we had so they'll get to play!🎉🎉🎉🎉 #fosterdog #dogsofbluesky

Starting a new one! I've read a lot of books this year and this is the first one that I cracked open and instantly got that "book smell". Brought me back to my childhood!

We fostered Freddie bc he looked so much like Gelatti we fostered in 2023. F was pet of the day yesterday & G's owners posted how much they looked alike. And now one of their friends put in an app for F. The facility is closed until Tues so now we wait to see if they were approved! 🤞🏼 #Dogsofbluesky

Satellite dishes out in full force tonight. #DogsofBluesky #TheyGetAllTheChannels

Spending the day at PetSmart so our boy can meet some potential adopters. He LOVES PetSmart Saturdays bc it means he will be doted on for 3 hours. Lots of good puppies available today! #dogsofbluesky #dogs #Freddie

My March book Roundup. 40 books in March. 100 for the year. I absolutely loved Funny You Should Ask, Sunrise on the Reaping, and Part of Your World. On to April! 🌼 #booksky 💙📚

Me trying to keep the family tree straight as more and more unknown family members appear: #booksky 📚💙

Kelly Bishop is a badass. #booksky 📚💙 📚💡

Funny you should ask....Freddie still hasn't been adopted! Dog: Definitely one of my top 3 favorite fosters. He's a silly, goofy guy who checks all the boxes of a perfect lazy dog. Book: FYSA was so good! I couldn't put it down once I started it. It was worth the wait! #dogsofbluesky #booksky 📚💙

If you need me in the next 48 hours....I'm busy. #HungerGames #InheritanceGames #Booksky 📚💙

Took me a second to get into this mostly because I misremembered the plot from the description I'd read a few weeks before but once I got myself straightened out I'm really enjoying it. #booktok 📚💙

Our new foster is president of the Anti-Book Reading Club. "I know you just sat down but are you done reading yet, Ms. Kelly?" (Side note: As someone with short arms, I highly recommend getting a reading pillow. It's helped my shoulders and back so much!) 📚💙 #Booksky #DogsofBlueSky 🐶

4 yrs ago we had our first foster "fail". We brought Omar home to watch for the weekend while his foster was on vacation. He had demodex and was covered in sores & missing a lot of fur. We immediately fell in love and he's never left! #dogsofbluesky 🐶🐕🦴

I cried, I laughed, I laughed, I cried. I really enjoyed this memoir. I listened to the whole thing on 1x speed (which says a lot) and wanted to enjoy every minute. Molly has had a very interesting life & I loved seeing where she got inspiration for her SNL characters. Definitely recommend! 📚💙

Starting one of the surprise books the local book shop picked out for me. Not something I would have typically been pulled towards reading. Sort of slow so far but I can see it picking up. Can't wait to see how it ends! #Booksky 📚💙

I've had multiple people recommend this book here. Finally getting to it. I've read several of Freida's books and just love her tone. A few chapters in and loving it so far! #booksky #mystery 📚⚡ Booksky.club/main 📚💙
