A little #paleographicchallenge for the weekend. Can anyone decipher Marcelina's last name? That flourish peeking over the eaten part of the paper is really bothering me. Thank you!

Some of us read for a living. Some of us read for leisure. Some of us for both. Read how you want, when you want, and what you want.

Over consumption and hustle culture got y’all thinking that reading 200 books in one year is better than reading 3-5 books slowly and sitting with the information or the story

@jriceTO I hate that, too. It also seems to be feast or famine with getting library books.

English

Jodi Rice@jriceTO·20 May

@ProfessorBall Problem is when you were stupid enough to take out an ebook from the library that’s new and popular and on endless holds so it goes back automatically and you won’t get it again for 3 months so you HAVE to get through it quickly. 😕
