Don’t just trust anyone to recommend a book to y

Don’t just trust anyone to recommend a book to you.

I’ve been burned many times by recommendations in Facebook groups.

Even when I specifically ask if the book contains profanity or explicit scenes, I’ve been reassured that it’s awesome … only to discover it’s full of ick.

Many readers just don’t have a clean-reads mindset. They don’t notice the swearing, the inappropriate content.

So what can you do?

My number one resource is my friends, my local book club. We have varying tastes, but they are usually spot on with their recommendations to me.

I’m sharing this one by Lisa See as an example. It’s excellent and engaging.

It’s not my first read about early Chinese women. But it’s my first one where the MC is a young woman studying to become a doctor when, according to Confucius, “An educated woman is a worthless woman.”

You and I bristle at those words, but it was very much a woman’s life in the era of the Ming Dynasty.

The content is adult but is expressed in the polite Chinese manner. If you’re like me, you want to know the history but not feel as if you’re being subjected to pornography while learning. I’m halfway through the book and am pleased with the storytelling and tactful way history is shared.

A new novel, Lady Tan’s Circle of Women is an excellent choice for your next book.

Another fun book club last night. Butterbeer had nothing to do with the book we read, but most of the ladies wanted to try it.

Cream soda
A hint of butter extract (1/4 to 1/2 tsp)
Caramel syrup (to taste)
Cream (to taste)

Mix. Sip to make sure you like the flavors. Adjust as needed.

Top with Spray Whip and a drizzle of more caramel.

Enjoy! 🪄

This is my favorite time of day. I hunker down with a bit of good chocolate and a good read.

This one I’m reading to see if it might be a good fit for my new job at @family.lyceum .

Has anyone here read the series or do you have kids/grandkids who read them?

We had a very fun Harry Potter Music Camp 🎶at my house the other day. Our homemade Butterbeer was a hit!

I teach piano lessons, but we took a break this summer. So it was good to get together for a couple of hours and learn through play.

I made up several music-related games and the word search pictured here. I’ll be adding them to my Etsy shop. The word search is already there.

Holler if you’d like links. 🪄

Shhhh! Secret. It’s my birthday today. 🎂

It’s almost 11:00 and I’m still in my pj’s with bedhead. 🤣

I absolutely LOVE reading ALL the birthday texts and FB comments on my personal page.

Throughout the year, I try to do the same for others, leaving notes of kindness on their special day.

???? How do you feel about it? The online birthday greetings. ????

Please comment with your thoughts. I like to hear others’ perspectives. 💜

Birthday wishes do come true! 🎂 #happybirthday

Have you had a special experience attending the temple? If so, I’d love to hear about it.

I’m writing an article for a website and am in search of stories and quotes from members who attend the temple.

Maybe it’s a one-time experience. Maybe it’s a general feeling whenever you attend. Maybe it’s happened a couple of times.

Feel free to comment with questions. You can also PM me with some information, and we can follow up with a phone call if needed.

Books about books. I’m often drawn to them.

This one is on Kindle for free. It’s a short story and a decent quick read.

But it inspired me to make a list of books where bookstores, authors, journalists, etc. are the main setting or focus.

I’m currently working on the list and would love your ideas too. Suggestions?

I love clean reads. Who’s with me?

💜 Books are friends. I love it when they share uplifting things and provide good content.

💜You deserve to read the BEST! There are so many books to choose from. Be selective.

💜 Don’t like a book? Put it down and move to another one. No guilt.

What do you love most about reading?

Will you join us in proudly flying the US flag thru the end of July?

🇺🇸Why? We keep forgetting to put it up on designated days. Yet we are fiercely proud of our country and want to show our love and respect for it.

🇺🇸 To us, it represents freedom and those who have died to make us free.

🇺🇸 This flag provides freedom of speech and the opportunity to fly other types of flags. To us, the US flag embraces all. Please honor our view of its symbolism.

🇺🇸 We understand others feel differently about this flag. Again, we ask for your respect of our good intent to share it as a symbolic representation to embrace ALL humanity and ALL that is good. May we be UNITED in the States of America.
