Every Man for Himself | Beryl Bainbridge

Morgan , a gorgeous young man of 22, is the MC in this story of the Titanic‘s maiden journey. I loved him ! Beautiful, rich writing, Beryl Bainbrdge created distinctive and memorable characters in this short novel, and some funny scenes. But Morgan won my heart, and his mother too. I must read more of her books !

CarolynM I really liked the movie, so I‘ve always wanted to read this one 3mo
batsy Sounds lovely. I have a Bainbridge book or two on my shelves and must get to it one day. 3mo
Cathythoughts @CarolynM Thanks Carolyn 👍🏻 I have that one stacked now. 3mo

I bought this #folio for myself months ago during the sale because, Titanic. I knew I needed something well written to get me out of my reading funk and the writing in this ended up being exquisite, with beautiful illustrations that were also done by the author. #foliofreaks

LeahBergen I‘ve always meant to read this one. Lovely edition! 4y

#bathandbook this evening features the tagged book and Moon on a Stick bath bomb from the Lush Kitchen subscription box. 😍

Every year during back to school I fall in a major slump. This year is no different, despite the strange circumstances. We start Monday, and it‘s 100% distance learning.

BarbaraBB Oh I just commented on your other post and now I read this. Full time home schooling. That must be hard. For the girls as well as you. 4y
Kalalalatja Strange times indeed! ☹️ 4y
TrishB Everything is just that bit more difficult ☹️ good luck. 4y

I told my supervisor that I was going through a reading slump, so she made me a #blinddatewithabook 💛 She left three packages on my tray with a note saying I could only choose one, and this was what I picked!

DivineDiana Now that's taking care of your staff! 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage What a great idea - and boss! 7y

Reading 4/20 for #20booksofsummer on the back verandah, enjoying the afternoon sun & hoping it will help get rid of my head cold. It may be winter in Sydney but our temps are rather summerish @Cathy746books how was Ireland today?

After all, most of us are cowards, but it's simply not on to shout it from the rooftops.
