I’ve been thinking of you each day. So glad books and this community are bringing comfort. Love to you and your loved ones ❤
Happy to hear the advice for the library worked out. 😉
Writing while reading also helps keep my engagement with a book a bit stronger ☺
Sending you and your family as much support and as many virtual hugs as the Internet will allow me 🤍
I really like the sound of this book, the first one. Im reserving it in advance at the library. I’m hoping this outlet and community is bringing you some distraction and engagement. Fingers crossed for success in your search for visas.
This is truly the best community for these times. Books and lovely, sweet people chatting about our love and fascination for them. Definitely give it a read if that one sounds interesting for you. We can chat about it when you finish it and share thoughts. Big hugs!
@@benjaminjournal , I look forward to it. 😊
Oh fantastic,, you managed to get NYPL access. I had it for a while in lockdown and just absolutely loved it. They have an absolutely amazing selection to choose from. Sadly my access ran out and I was unable to verify to get it extended... but if you know how i can snag this again hmu x PS you should go on to read all of the Lucy Bartons.. I had the arc of the last 2 and the last one especially hit. Olive Kittridge is excellent also - i dont usually like film or tv adaptations but I thought Frances McDormand did a great job
Happy that books can bring you some comfort in this scary time. Thinking of you all. If you want something that’s quite gripping, I’d like to recommend None Of This Is True by Lisa Jewell. Had me staying up past my bedtime reading! Lol take care! ❤
Thank goodness you will try to be leaving! That was my 1st thought but logistically I didnt know if it were possible. Good luck on your potential new journey. Wishing you safety and good health now and forever to you and Ohad and Jacob. ☮
Thank you so much. To run out of here immediately is a bit hard for us, with Jacob and everything. But we definitely look at possibilities for the new year.
❤❤❤

I’m not sure if it’s available digitally, but I’m reading Great Demon Kings by John Giorno at the moment. I find diving into a memoir that focuses on times gone by a good escape in hard times ❤❤❤
That’s a great suggestion. I will look into this one, thank you! ❤️
Oh Ben, even though this Situation is gatd for you, yoi are mastering it! ❤Thanks for this cozy vlog😘 sending hugs 🤗
Ps: come guys to us to Switzerland 😊
Thank you! 🥹🥹buying tickets now! 😉
Hey Ben, I just wanted to drop a quick message to let you know that I've been thinking of you and your family. I hope you're doing well. If you're up for a wild literary adventure and want to escape into a world of exquisitely weird prose and dialogue, I recommend checking out 'Y/N' by Ester Yi. It's a captivating ride that might provide the perfect escape. Take care!
I had such a bad time with girls against god that it turned out to be my only DNF of the year thus far… just did not mesh with the writing style at all. sending love and light your way 🕊️
I am going to give it another shot with a fresh brain. But yes, maybe it was something with the style. And thank you for the love and light 🤍
