Can we do #TuesdayTunes on a Thursday night?? This just came up on a Spotify-curated playlist, and I could smell that school bus seat vinyl and that particular teenage muskiness. Man…took me straight back to high school. Hadn‘t heard the song in years!

vivastory And how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind? 🎶
So good!

BarbaraBB Of course we can! I didn‘t know this The Verve song but am listening to it while typing this. I love it when a song brings back such memories! 1w
BarbaraBB Still listening and what a good album! I only knew them from their biggest hit here, Bitter Sweet Symphony, which I didn‘t like much. 1w

Megabooks @BarbaraBB yes! This was an album I bought back then for their single, but I like the rest of the album much more now than BSS; although the orchestral background is still great. I associate that song with the final scene in Cruel Intentions, which was my college roommate‘s favorite movie so I saw it A LOT! Many good memories with her! 😁😁 1w
Megabooks @BarbaraBB I‘m definitely a nostalgia listener, but I‘m picking up some great new songs too lately. 1w
Megabooks @vivastory the lyrics definitely hit harder as an adult than they did as a teen. 1w
BarbaraBB I‘d love to know what you‘re picking up these days and hope you‘ll continue #ThursdayTunes 😜🥰 (edited) 1w
TieDyeDude This song is new to me, but I like it! Similar orchestral arrangement to BSS. Is that throughout the album? 1w
Bookwomble @TieDyeDude Yes, it is. I'd recommend Richard Ashcroft's solo albums to you, especially Alone With Everybody and Human Conditions. Song for the Lovers from the former has a great orchestral introduction 😊 https://open.spotify.com/track/7a90gal9tr3yS8bEXUvu8D?si=-O-28vPQSKOgNjSPsyRh4A&... (edited) 7d
Megabooks @Bookwomble thanks for chiming in! And recommending another artist I‘ll check out! I hope you try the album @TieDyeDude 👍🏻 7d
Bookwomble @Megabooks You're welcome. Richard Ashcroft is the lead singer and main songwriter for The Verve, so if you like them, you'll like him 😊 7d
Megabooks @Bookwomble I am SO BAD at knowing the names of band members! 😂😂 even bands I‘ve enjoyed for years I‘d have trouble naming them. 6d
Bookwomble @Megabooks You only know if you know! 😊 6d

My sister gifted me this book, her book club read. Sounds fascinating. I have a brother & sister who are twins- although not identical they have a special bond & look out for each other always.

This was a fun book filled with stories from people all over the country about grammar. The Grammar Table is such a unique idea, one that connects many people in so many different ways. This book had me laughing out loud or groaning at the personal stories people shared and listening to the audiobook—which is narrated by the author—made the stories better. 4/5🌟

Today's reading

Bookwomble I find the breaking apart of the word on the cover quite jarring and far from eloquent. Seems like a strange design choice to me. The book itself sounds interesting though 🙂 3mo
SpaceCowboyBooks @Bookwomble agreed, it's a terrible cover. But the book is well written and surprisingly funny. 3mo

Basics of Biblical Hebrew Workbook: Third Edition | Gary D Pratico, Miles V Van Pelt
post image

I‘ve been absent for a long time… this has been what has pulled me. I‘m attempting to learn Hebrew!
I‘ve been in a different place since I had surgery again this past November. Cancer has been difficult to battle and my latest chemo treatment has been by far the worst. So distracting myself with something complicated has been good for me. I miss everyone and this community so I‘m going to try to get to being active again, 💕📚💕

AmyG Wishing you an easier time. Hebrew! I learned this as a kid. I can read Hebrew but have no clue what any of it means. Good luck! 3mo

Tamra 🤗 Wow, I admire your resilience and patience. 💪🏾💪🏾 3mo
SamAnne Wishing you a strong recovery. Cancer is a life changer. I‘m in remission after surgery/radiation but declined chemo for time being to soak in a year of travel and living life to the fullest against doctor advice. New scans next month when I return from Mexico! Good for you learning Hebrew! I plan tackle Spanish in 2024 to keep positive thoughts about returning to Mexico in 2025, I suspect Hebrew is a bit more challenging. 😳😁 3mo

The Big Book of Irony | Jon Winokur

I still don‘t understand. It still sounds like sarcasm to me. Examples didn‘t help. A few examples were amusing, but still didn‘t help. It started with explanations of the different types of irony, then a history of irony. There were various examples of authors using irony, irony in pop culture. At least it was fast to read. I liked that there were a number of Canadian examples. But I still don‘t “get” it. I‘m probably more confused than ever.
