#StartASpark

Here is some more retellings. There is so many... it was hard to just choose a few.

Do you like reading retellings? Have you read any good ones? I'd love to hear.

Hello Littens. Hope everyone is well. It is #StartASpark day. Today we talk about retellings. They come in all shapes and sizes. If one of your favorites is an old classic... u bet that there is a retelling somewhere.

Do you like reading retellings? Have you read any good ones? I'd love to hear.

One off the shelf. I've had this book in my TBR piles for a while. Three novels by Barbara Taylor Bradford that I haven't read. I've read a few of her other novels many years ago. So, I'm looking forward to these. We'll see 👀 how it goes.

#ShelfSweeper #4Elizabeth @Andrew65

Andrew65 Barbara Taylor Bradford brings back memories of tv series in the 80s including A Woman of Substance and Hold the Dream. She was very much flavour of the month in her day, and they were always good sagas with powerful women. Look forward to seeing what you think of them. 1d
Ruthiella @Andrew65 Absolutely I remember those miniseries (at least the ads for them). 😃 1d

This week, the weather is meant to be lovely in the UK 25c. Hoping to get out in the garden and relax (if there‘s time!) also have my final uni assignment due in for year 2. @AllDebooks #saturdaychatterday (edited) 3d

This is the first discussion post for #QueerBC

This is for both Alan Hollinghurst and Ocean Vuong

I've put up a few questions that you can answer or you can just comment with your thoughts about the book you read

As a reminder May‘s author will be Neon Yang

PuddleJumper If you are on Storygraph and want to join the book club, you can do that here: https://app.thestorygraph.com/book_clubs/ec1d5a86-5de9-4315-a128-fcab4d27c31d

Suggest authors here: https://forms.gle/nLwAy72Zufi4brty6

3d
willaful 1. I read Time is a Mother by Ocean Vuong, a book of poetry.

2. A primary theme was grief, and still finding joy in life despite grief. The style of poetry was sometimes too oblique for me, but the simpler poems were powerful.

3. Yes, though primarily to poetry fans. I tried introducing my mom to it (she's dealing with a lot of grief) and she got even less than me. 😂

4. “Because this body is my last address.“ from “reasons for staying.“
3d
Zuhkeeyah 1) Time is a Mother by Ocean Vuong 2) He wrote of grief and loss. My two favorites were “Dear T” and “Künstlerroman”. Very different styles (one verse the other story-ish) 3) Yes 4) “If words, as they claimed, had no weight in our world, why did we keep sinking” from Almost Human (edited) 3d
lil1inblue I haven't finished either yet, but I am reading The Line of Beauty by Alan Hollinghurst and Night Sky with Exit Wounds by Ocean Vuong. I like The Line of Beauty so far, but I also feel like I'm missing the point. I'm hoping it all makes sense by the end. Night Sky is excellent, but I'm not as far along. 1d

I enjoyed the Shivers Collection from Amazon. In each story, something isn't quite 'right' with reality, whether it is a vindictive tree or a haunting for example. The story by Catriona Ward is my favorite in the collection. I also like how each story takes less than a hour to read, perfect to fit in here and there during the day. 4 stars.

1. My MIL treated my SIL and I to a manicure. It was my first one & I learned a lot, like if you don‘t like the color after they paint your pinkie you can ask for a different color 😂 Had I known this, my nails would look very different now lol (the pic is my “after”)

Lots of Terry Pratchett (but none that I have read) and Jacqueline Wilson (I haven't read any of hers). I'd like to read some of each of theirs, and my son has me intrigued by House of Leaves, so maybe I'll put that one on my list, too.

Three I was surprised by how much I liked:
1) Kim
2) All Quiet on the Western Front
3) Heidi
