I read her The Origin of Satan. I think I keep crediting her with The Dark Side of Christianity, but that was Ellerbe, I believe.

I love this. I rarely read new books (published in the last 1-2 years), but I love a good haul. In February in Phoenix, there is a HUGE used book sale down at the fair grounds--occupies one of the large show buildings. Sundays, all is 1/2 price. You could end up with 19 books for $30-40

Sax? You're kidding me. I played alto and bari sax in HS, kept it up for awhile until my sister's stepson used it in school and lost it🤣

I'm in a writing critique group and this book came up. I was really interested in reading it until I heard similar disappointments from my friends. Darn it.

Congrats on getting your book out there!

I’m hoping my wishlist gets seen today and maybe gets sprinkled. Everyday is a new opportunity. Bookshelves, pencils, and rulers, oh my! These are a few of my favorite things. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

I love Bruce Lee--- years ago watched most of his movies, many interviews. Have a friend from Seattle whose husband's dad went to school with Bruce Lee and he was a bully when he was younger. I died hearing that. My friend's father-in-law was scared of getting beaten up by him! Still love your post😍

Such a great angle to look at their work. ((My personal favorite will always be Rear Window, but creator and actor made magic together more than once))

This has been a year so focused on writing and submitting and meeting agents, I have barely read anything actually published. What's your favorite good book recommendation??

Abraham's eldest son, and only son to survive into adulthood, Robert Todd Lincoln- was present or nearby for 3 presidential assassinations. Bizarre, and I can understand his sense of being cursed because of it. #book #writer #bibliophile #reader prologue.blogs.archives.gov/2010/10/27/t...

As it turns out, the only item I addictively buy is books. I currently have $159 credit at the used bookstore, and I feel FAN-TA-STIC about that. Everything else can go in my Goodwill pile... #bibliophile #books #booklover #writer www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/w...

I mean, it’s Shelley, and the poem is powerful and viscerally on point in its meaning. Yet I can’t deny thinking of Walt and Hank when rereading it. #BreakingBad #bestwriting #bestshow #vincegilligan

Just finished reading Jo Nesbø's The Snowman which led me to looking at the male writer's tendency to write female characters only in terms of their desirability, their breast description, and the ubiquitous clinginess of clothing. 🙄 #writer #booksky #books www.boredpanda.com/male-authors...

This is utterly remarkable. I wrote notes like this, filled out disability forms (that so often had vague questions not relevant to the body part ((eyes)) that I was examining), and more crap that just weighed down my days. Employers do not trust their employees-that's what all the sick notes imply

Ohmagod, this is so true. Admittedly, I do some Future Self journaling-powerful stuff. But looking back, I wonder how I managed all those insecurities that no one else saw, I never shared. I also have a record of every boy I've ever had a crush on. #journal #writer #author

This post literally hurts my brain. I'm unable to unroll my eyes at this dude, and wonder in what way he's a "keeper" after this description of his ridiculous argument. #irrational

Therefore he should abide by no safety rules, never go to a doctor for any kind of care, eat whatever the F he wants without thought of health consequences, stop working without a thought of what comes next. I may be extrapolating excessively as I strain my extraocular muscles while rolling my eyes.

Oooooo can I come?!?! Even though I've been writing novels for years, I was 100% science/math when I was in school. I've never taken an actual writing class--- had to learn through other means. ((But, seriously-- this is so cool!))
