Yesterday, over at YouTube. I discovered two artists, FRANCIS PICABIA and PAUL KLEE. I also like quite a few of their works.
This is a good place to list the books I read in 2023.
INDIAN KILLER. I hope to read more by this author, SHERMAN ALEXIE
KLARA AND THE SUN. I hope to read more by this author, KAZURO ISHIGURO
ARE YOU THERE GOD, IT'S ME MARGARET. I hope to read more by this author, JUDY BLUME.
The Essential Writings of Sabina Spielrein: Pioneer of Psychoanalysis
Looks like my reading goal will be 32 books. I'm sure I will surpass that. This will probably be my first read of 2024, QUEEN VICTORIA'S TEENAGE DIARIES. I know her youngest daughter destroyed part of her journals and also edited them.
Just doing this and that. Meant Qunella at Under The Sun. My hip is bothering me today. If I set too long, it hurts more. So, I have been doing short walks. Plus, I'm taking MELOXICAM 15 MG. Twice daily.
Since I'm talking about my medical issues. January 2. I will call and schedule my colonoscopy for 2024. I was to have one in 2023. But with the insurance issues. I had to go into Coeur D'Alene to have it done. A 160 mile/257km. It probably wouldn't have been one trip, either. I can have it done at my local hospital. The good thing is that colon cancer doesn't run in my family.
I unloaded the dishwasher and reinforced a 2024 calendar, and we still use a calendar. Got some bacon and sour cream. And Murphy and I made the bed.
Nice book list Dora. I love to read also. I hope you had a wonderful holiday and Happy New Year to you also. hugs-Erika
ReplyDelete...I have a calendar to help me be a bit organized with my blog.

ReplyDeleteI never keep a list of books I have read, I read mostly fiction anyway, maybe a couple of biographies. Many books are on my kindle and I delete each one as I finish it, but with real books they just go back on the shelf unless I don't like the story, then I give the book away, put it in one of those little community libraries.
ReplyDeleteI hope the meds help your poor hip.

ReplyDeleteThat's a noble list of books... and I very much enjoyed the video links! I have been slack in commenting, Dora, but always appreciate your explorations and simply dealing the the daily stuff... I am taking this chance to wish you and yours all the very best for 2024! YAM xx
Lots of great reading, I just added another book to my to read pile. Keep reading, keep exploring.
ReplyDeleteHi Dora
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list of books- I read / listen to a lot, but don't remember to keep a list! Several have been about food and appreciating heritage/ regional varieties. My friend Katie Kulla illustrated 'Edible, 70 plants of the future, and I'm enjoying 'Coming Home to Eat' ...
Wishing you good health in the new year

You sure read a lot of books. Happy New Year from all of us!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think of A Separate Peace? I had to read that one in school. (Same with Red Badge of Courage.)
ReplyDeleteHope 2023 is ending on a high note for you and that 2024 brings you many blessings.
ReplyDeleteA lot of really good books you read this year.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great 2024!!
