I’m drinking a Diet Coke and eating Oreo Cakesters in the tub. How is your thanksgiving?

Road rage in the HEB parking lot while blasting Xmas music. ‘‘Tis the season. 🎄

Happy Happy Birthday to @hamsterkaren.bsky.social!! I hope it’s a fantastic day!!

#rootrootread Finished another book last night: Hope, the autobiography of Pope Francis. He's an interesting man who has led an inspirational life. I don't often read biographies of non-baseball players. This was pretty good, he's a better writer than most baseball players, lol. It's a low bar

Reading outside to enjoy this weather #RootRootRead

The perfect spot to #RootRootRead outside!

Finished two more books today for #rootrootread 1.) For a book by an author with last name S: When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead. Excellent middle grades book with a twist of Sci Fi. Masterfully plotted, but I wish it were just a little longer to address a couple loose ends

The Runaway Jury by John Grisham (it's a movie too) The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas (banned/challenged and EXCELLENT) The Book of Lost Hours by Hayley Gelfuso (library guy rec) Season of the Machete by James Patterson #rootrootread

The 2nd in a series of novels about a Black Texas Ranger navigating the treacherous racial relations of his East Texas roots, the book finds Ranger Mathews saving a child while his personal problems mount. #RootRootRead 3/6

Starting this one tonight #RootRootRead

Monday night moon #astronomy #sonyalpha #moon #space

My next read is Emerson-approved. #RiotRootRead

Finished Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Another classic off the list. I’m still doing the last #RootRootRead card along with the new one

#rootrootread I got two more books! And I still had Bingo spaces for them! My next book or two should also work as then after that who knows

I reached my Goodreads goal! #RootRootRead

Wow. Excellent. #rootrootread

Studied outside today. Will do again! #rootrootread

Finished “Band of Brothers” by Stephen E. Ambrose. Now time to rewatch the incredible series. #RootRootRead

Finished the Doctor Aphra audio drama for book #5. It was an enjoyable listen. Star Wars really goes all out for their audio books/plays. However I kinda hate Aphra (she’s basically Belloq from Raiders of the Lost Ark), so I was glad to get this out of the way. #RootRootRead

Listened to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to get ready for the upcoming show. Enjoyed it very much but have no idea how they’re going to get more than one season out of three stories. Made me realize how much I’ve missed Westeros. #RootRootRead

Ran into a neighbor dressed as Ruth Bader Ginsburg this morning! I was so impressed with her she was impressed I knew who she was…which was sad!

I like to keep up with tradition so…. Today is 50 cent corndog day at Sonic!!!

My new off-season #RootRootRead thread. My first book was this one and it was so good and I highly recommend it! Checked out from library and read for 30 min uninterrupted

Offseason #RootRootRead thread! Book checked out from the library is Patrick Radden Keefe’s SAY NOTHING, a heartbreaking account of the Troubles with a focus on Jean McConville, single mother of 10 who was disappeared by the IRA. (I read for 30 minutes uninterrupted every day, so that one was easy!)

Giving #rootrootread another try. My phone's acting weird, so I can't edit the bingo sheet at the moment. My last two books, both finished yesterday are below. It will cover the read for thirty minutes and the author of a different religion squares.

Yesterday I finished another book for #rootrootread - We Are Big Time, by Hena Khan and Safiya Zerrougui. It's a middle grade graphic novel based on the real life story of Salam School's girls basketball team of 2018-19. I enjoyed it, an above average graphic novel for 3rd-6th grade

Finished another book #rootrootread Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut 3/5 stars. Interesting concept, American spy in Germany who goes full Nazi and has to reckon with his life's choices, both good and evil. I just wasn't fully captured by the book

I had the most incredible Brussels sprouts yesterday. They were fried with a Kung Pao vinaigrette, chilies and cashews. I have leftovers and can’t wait to heat them up at work tomorrow and piss off errrrrbody!

Anyone else walk around the house randomly whispering “I protect the family” ?

Emerson is the the best part of life

It starts like any other kidnapped child drama, but in this 21st c. version, the girl is a YouTube ⭐️ with her brother. After coming home to her fame hungry parents, the story jumps ahead to adulthood where De Vigan imagines the real horror resulting from a childhood lived on camera. #RootRootRead

Decided to only update every 5 books, or so. So as not to bore y'all 😁🤣 #rootrootread

I’ve seen a decent amount but I don’t think we are posting enough. I just started reading Frankenstein today (I’m doing booth bingo cards right now). Can you believe I’ve never read this?!? There are a lot of classics I still need to get to. #RootRootRead

Hiking the Camino has been on my bucket list for a while, so I was primed to enjoy this multigenerational tale of adventure on the trail. It mostly didn't disappoint, even though the denouement seemed rushed. #RootRootRead 1/6

Finished this last week while on vacation. A fictionalized account of the only children from the orphanage on Galveston Island to survive the 1900 storm. Well-written and moving, grim but uplifting. #RootRootRead

Listened to Bloom while taking my lunch walk. Since I can’t take a picture of my audiobook while listening here is a picture of downtown. #RootRootRead

For read for 30 uninterrupted minutes I am working on Heir to the Jedi. I’d be lying if I said I was enjoying it. #RootRootRead

So I’ve started my offseason #RootRootRead journey. First up was book checked out from the library. The Outsider by @stephenking.bsky.social was another stop on my Holly Gibney journey. She is a character I have come to enjoy very much.

Hi. I made the viral dumping bake

Something you don’t want a creepy guy asking you as a Librarian: “Hey, uh, you know anyone who wants to be in a movie?” NOPE

Excited for my #rootrootread holiday read. Straight from the mind of our own @ballparknationusa.bsky.social !! Jim, we need to get it on Goodreads. Anyone know how to do that?

ICYMI

I’m so tense these days that I’m thinking of setting a reminder on my phone telling me to drop my shoulders and unclench my jaw every 20 mins.

An apparent explosion at a downtown Houston high-rise has injured several people, according to the Houston Fire Department. 

These are some good squares! I recommend this for anyone needing a book set on an island!
