Good night! #3GoodThings
1. Got to open windows again! First time since either Thursday or Friday.
2. Closed my fitness rings and got over 12K steps in.
3. Only have about 15 minutes left of this Elm Creek Quilts novel and it will be done. I’ll have it finished before I’m done with my first cup of coffee in the morning.
Sleep well and may your dreams take you to the stars! #GoodNight #Fitness #AudioBooks

Nice and rather swift morning run, fired up by the furious finale of EARTHSIDE by Dennis E. Taylor. It felt really good to just speed it up here and there, should do this more often. #Running #audiobooks #applewatchultra2

Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon
by Daniel C. Dennett

i switched to #libro.fm ~two years ago or so when i became aware of the #audible stealing #authors cash drama. been re-buying all my #books as they come available on libro, re-stocking my library. and, honestly, there has been zero problems since the switch, maybe i'm just lucky that my main authors has switched too. as i think this service is superior to audible in every way that matters. they even have practical support for account sharing!!!

Good night! #3GoodThings
1. The casserole for supper was delicious and warm on a chilly day.
2. Finished The Christmas Quilt in the Elm Creek Quilts series and have moved on to the next book.
3. Closed my rings for the 49th day in a row. Well, today will make 50 but I won’t get the notification until tomorrow morning. Did 12,046 steps today and I’m not in bed yet.
Sleep well and may your dreams be out of this world. #GoodNight #AudioBooks #Fitness

Wasn't able to sleep last night. I eventually just set my Audiobook reader to 20 min sleep, and *read* my book in bed until daylight. Now I have to choose another book today, I only read 2 last week.

Finished "The Texas Murders" by James Patterson
#Books #Audiobooks

One of the wettest runs in recent history: Even my #Running shirt (which I wore underneath the jacket) was *completely* wet. Luckily, I didn’t care. I knew I‘d be soaked quickly even before I left the house – and so it came to be. No big deal. On the #audiobooks side: EARTHSIDE by Dennis E. Taylor is a fairly decent novel so far, I do like it. #applewatchultra2

I've finished: Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

Piranesi appealed to me on so many levels.

He is a fish out of water, but he has adapted.
The way he adapted, studying his environment with an innocent yet scientific eye, was the most appealing aspect for me.
The descriptions of the statues; the meaning the myth and art embedded in them was a wonderful cherry on the cake.

The way Susanna Clarke stuck the landing was also perfect.

What a wonderful experience.

Good night! #3GoodThings
1. Finished The Master Quilter by Jennifer Chiaverini, the 6th book in the Elm Creek Quilts series and started the next one in audio.
2. Placed some painter’s tape along the edges of some scrappy string strips and will get them sewn onto a muslin foundation block tomorrow.
3. Rocked my fitness for the day. Move ring was closed 4 times with 690 calories burned. Exercise ring was closed 4 times with 120 minutes of exercise. Stand ring was closed 1 time with 16 hours. And my step count as of right now is 13,258.
Sleep well and may your dreams be out of this world. #GoodNight #AudioBooks #Quilting #Fitness

Listening to CARELESS PEOPLE: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost ldealism - A Memoir (2025) - Sarah Wynn-Williams. Read by the author.

LibroFM is having an Indie Bookshop Appreciation Sale

The sale includes Premee Mohamed's wonderful novella: The Annual Migration of Clouds

My Review:

This story starts with an acceptance letter to university in one of the remaining domes.

It is not the story of a girl from the waists struggling to integrate into privileged society.

This is a story about leaving a struggling community and an overprotective parent, with a mysterious fungal parasite to boot.
