Dunno what a kumquat is. Never tasted papaya.
Reading is brilliant, whatever day or time thereof. Stephen King over here ATM.
Shower foam? Had a Radox muscle relaxant bath myself last night, slept like a baby afterwards.
Best wishes to you and yours 😊
@bookstodon Often, lonnnnnnggg books get overlooked. (I am guilty of this myself.) So, Bibliophiles, tell us which HUGE tomes are worth the hefty page count.
A few of my rec's:
11/22/63, Stephen King
1Q84, Haruki Murakami
2666, Roberto Balaňo
Gnomon, Nick Harkaway
The Third Person, Emma Grove
Wayward, Chuck Wendig
"How many books are sold in the United States? The only tracker we have is BookScan, which logs point of sale—i.e., customer purchases at stores, websites, etc.—for most of the market. BookScan counted 767 million print sales in 2023."
I almost wanted to say "Bah Humbug" for today's #3GoodThings, given I'm hobbling about on a walking cane today and am likely to need it for a few more days until my spine calms TF down. But, let's do it anyway.
The weather's nice. Not too hot, not too cold.
Kumquats and a mini papaya granola bowl for brunch was lovely.
My blood sugars behaving after I reduced my insulin dosage as an experiment (don't do this at home, I'm following doctor guidelines).
