“Something in me is growing, and every time I look inside, something fresh has appeared and all I have to do is to accept it…and to let it flourish.” Etty Hillesum, An Interrupted Life: Diaries, 1941-1943 & Letters from Westerbork. Tr Arnold J Pomerans from Dutch. #ThursdayBookChat 📚💙

Enjoying Tastes Like Shakkar by Nisha Sharma. Lots of 'Much Ado' banter and bickering with these professionals in wedding planning and restaurant management. And what sounds like an awesome specialized ice cream cake. 🍰

Kiss a cute stranger in a club, run into him soon after. He’s your neighbor! What are the odds?! It’s Les Normaux Vol 1 by Janine Janssen with S. Al Sabado, a graphic series that began as a webcomic. A book club pick.

I asked my library to get All My Dead Cats and Other Losses: Practicing Good Grief in a Culture that Fears Mourning by @sesmith.lol. Grief can take many forms, and is often not well supported. “What if we interacted with loss in more diverse ways?” #ThursdayBookChat 📚💙

For #SpinsterSeptember, several pages in with the memoir Plant Dreaming Deep, my first May Sarton apart from some poems. She starts with the installation of an ancestor’s portrait in her home, when at fifty four she’s the last of her family. Any startings or finishings for #ThursdayBookChat?
