That moment when you think you can build a criminal enterprise cause of a book, and then you hear Ms. Rachel say, “That’s Silly.” 😒 Hater

It snowed, so the wife made us get dressed and go outside. Southerns are weird 😭 It was pretty much a hostage situation

I made River lunch and that little terrorist looked at me and tossed the plate on the floor 😒😭

This book sounds really nice 😬😬 that’s all I got so far and I’m an hour in. Still better than The Postman #booksky

What book are you starting off 2025 with? CAMP LANIER by @sylvesterbarzey.bsky.social - being from (loosely defined) the Atlanta area, I'm well acquainted with Lake Lanier lore (it's even namechecked in TLGOWP). You do not f with that lake. Can't wait to see what this book does with it!

🌈 Hailey Piper 🌈@haileypiperfights.bsky.social · 2y ago

What book are you starting off 2025 with? FEED THEM SILENCE by @leemandelo.bsky.social, about researchers mentally interfacing with wolves (and about ecology, loneliness, and connection) which I'm absolutely inhaling. I sadly have already stayed up way past bedtime with it though and need sleep 😩
