UC#3 sparked our interest recently with this suggestion:
A survey for the elders – which books have you ‘reread’ the most? I’m not asking for favorite books or most compelling, but which books have continued to read again?

KM and UC#2
Both KM and UC#2 are huge Harry Potter fans.
UC#2 uses the first Harry Potter book as a way to learn new languages.
He has read the book in its entirety in English, Spanish, Swedish, and Norwegian. He has partially read the book in French, German, Latin, Greek and Finnish.
Harry Potter and the Rosetta Stone?
Future archeologists may use Harry Potter to decode 20th century languages. (Screen shots from the 1st page of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone)
Harry Potter and Ukraine
J. K. Rolling has made all the Harry Potter books available in Ukrainian for free!
When the invasion of Ukraine began, our team were appalled by the impact that it would have on so many children and families and, like everyone else, wanted to do something – however small – to help. And so we’ve been working to find a way to make the Harry Potter books available to read online, for free, for all of the families whose lives have been so radically impacted by the war.
This has not been without its challenges as we haven’t previously published digital editions in Ukrainian. However, thanks to the ingenuity of our teams and kindness and support of the local print publisher, A-ba-ba-ha-la-ma-ha, we’ve been able to make these stories available to Ukrainian speakers for free. We are providing the books via this website, so that they will be accessible from most web-connected devices, wherever they may be.

Baked eggs with spinach, leeks, and feta
This is the original title of this dish in Melissa Clark’s Dinner: Changing the Game cookbook and honestly, it just makes a heart happy to scream it from the rooftops whenever someone asks you what’s for dinner.
Leaving No Turn Unstoned
And then we had to spoil this perfectly nice post with The Evil Pagan Egg Queen. (It also gave us a chance to experiment with CoPilot Dall-e).
With regards to spoiling it all, we’d like to offer this as way of redemption….
