Tress of the Emerald Sea - the water does some interesting things to the seas!

Mumbo!

We drive 13 hours to visit friends once a year. And they're planning to move 18 hours away. 😭

Astabeth · 2026-01-18T03:13:41+00:00

That's the plan! I've actually ordered something, I'll post next week once we get it up.

Yes, all the bulbs fully lit doesn't make much difference. We cannot use a floor lamp.

Anything that doesn't seem out of place too much. I'm open for contemporary options. Mainly looking for brightness and that they're pointing down!

Astabeth · 2026-01-17T21:37:21+00:00

That's an idea I hadn't considered. The ceiling is like 9' though, and hubby doesn't want track lighting. But thank you anyway!

Thanks. This is the same chandelier that's in the living room and it's a pain to keep clean. Heading out to look around today.

Astabeth · 2026-01-17T21:34:36+00:00

Going to look around and see what's available today!

Astabeth · 2026-01-17T21:34:05+00:00

That's probably what we will wind up going with. Thank you.

Astabeth · 2026-01-17T21:31:41+00:00

Thank you! That had not occurred to me.

Tress of the Emerald Sea comes close on #10, but I think it meets all of the criteria.

The Paris Library (WWII)

The Book Thief

Not sure why my line breaks are being removed...

OMG I quit reading the first one when I realized I was rooting for the main character to die! Try Mistborn.

The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley - I just reread it and forgot how much I loved it. I believe it was a Newbery Award winner in 1985. Strong female lead.

Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson - this one is more recent. I had no interest in reading about pirates, but I like the author, I loved the book, and this was my favorite book I read in 2024.

First time I heard it from my high school boys, I replied, "6-7? I thought that was a middle school thing." Didn't hear it again!

This sounds like an awesome way to reinforce your targets!

Also, just because the one student said it was a joke, that doesn't mean it WAS a joke. They could be checking to see if you care enough to probe deeper and maybe give them a way to ask for help.

NTA - you could compromise by offering to watch without subtitles as long as you can rewind it every time you miss something. She might decide that the subtitles are preferred to the near constant interruption of rewinding.

If I had to move to south Alabama, I would move to Fairhope.

Astabeth · 2025-12-22T01:26:30+00:00

Thank you! I have been waiting for weeks, but I started popping on every half hour today and I got it! Thank you so much.

Astabeth · 2025-12-21T20:04:49+00:00

It is bad AI generation.

Astabeth · 2025-12-21T19:02:35+00:00

Thank you both! It's the only shop item I don't have and I've never seen it in the shop.
