A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. A man shivers in bed while a smiling lady in a red mask shows off her bandage on her arm. Text: Noses are red Ice packs are blue I'm vaxed so miss me with severe symptoms of flu.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Two lady scientists shrug lackadaisically. Text reads: My love for you can't be explained by science. Just like the new federal vaccine guidelines.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Protesters in Minneapolis wear thick clothes and hold signs of support for immigrant neighbors. Text reads: To the health departments in the Twin Cities: Love unites us. Our hearts are with you.

Oh my GOD King County Public Health is just wilding out for Valentines Day (and a lovely one).

yeah, it makes it really impossible to reread them.

yeah, any girl character in his books could be one of his victims because being a character was what he used as an enticement....

Skipshock, by Caroline O'Donoghue, for Timeslip Tuesday After a long while of time getting away from me, I'm finally grabbing it by the fetlock to offer a new Timeslip Tuesday post. Skipshock , ...

I could not unsee scary owls when I visited Wells. Shades of Alan Garner....

Happy world linguistics day from Smithfield RI!

The Winter of the Dollhouse, by Laura Amy Shlitz The Winter of the Dollhouse, by Laura Amy Schlitz (Candlewick, September 2025) is a beautiful, moving book that I loved! It's the story of a...

The Winter of the Dollhouse is one I'm keeping to reread in my own old age! @candlewick 👍📚https://charlotteslibrary.blogspot.com/2025/10/the-winter-of-dollhouse-by-laura-amy.html

It's a big tent

I'd also like to get God out of the pledge of allegiance....

Happy Pennies Birthday!!!! Go you! (I to must go, to secure a copy....)

Make it pay for entering your brain. Question it. Interrogate what is meant by "founding."

I will be on the lookout!

Looking forward to when it comes out in paperback!

you could always sort out your junk draw right now and carefully put everything out on the kitchen counter to contemplate.....plenty of time for tomorrow for other less important tasks....

D looks even better.

thank You for writing it for me and others of my ilk!

The Tinkerers, by Caroline Carlson, for Timeslip Tuesday After another few horribly busy weeks, I have peaceful time for a time slip Tuesday review, and it is a good one-- The Tinkerers , by Caroli...

I loved the book I just reviewed for Timeslip Tuesday! @carolinecarlson.bsky.social charlotteslibrary.blogspot.com/2025/09/the-...

Indeed! So hard to keep track of it-- I am pretty sure the little bits of clout I acquired are lost in the junk drawer....

I love the side eye!

I will keep my eyes out for a copy in the wild to send your way if I get lucky! Or you could come visit again, to enjoy an enticing assortment of snow bound vintage fiction (and my company)

congratulations to the Mythopoeic 2024 Award winners! I loved both Island of Whispers by Frances Hardinge, illustrated by Emily Gravett and The Island of the Gods Duology by Amie Kaufman mythsoc.org/news/news-20...

do try it then! I am a fan of snowbound stories, and this one is top notch in that regard!

I read them young, and still re-read them....but they are not books I would think to press you to read....If you do fill the urge, I suggest starting with Moominland Midwinter.

As a foreign service kid in the Bahamas in the 70s I went with my parents to a swanky pool party. I was told later the unsmiling bearded guy in a corner was Sean Connery which meant nothing. The chlorine stink of the grotto you had to swim under water to enter was much more memorable.

If you need any information about fish in precontact period Rhode Island, when you could apparently walk across rivers on the backs of spawning fish, let me know!

while in the meantime I am busily pulling it up in my own US woods because it is a horrible invasive here.....#sad

It isn't me!

yeah, why can't coal miners have nice things?
