SpellboundReader If only they'd turned my school lessons into lyrics set to late 70s and 80s music. I'd probably have a much better recall of history, social science, etc. 🤓 😬 3w

One's Company: A Novel | Ashley Hutson

Pretty bizarre, but much more based in reality than some of the other books this has been compared to (Awad‘s specifically). A bit of an outrageous look at how grief and trauma can be dealt with in very different ways, in this case by winning the lottery and creating a reality to live inside the Three‘s Company world. I‘ve never seen the show but now I feel like I should watch at least one episode.
Reminded me a bit of Treasure Island!!! (Tagged)

Ruthiella I can see the parallel to Awad‘s Bunny, especially in the question at the end (for me at least)?as to how much of the book is real and how much is the main character‘s delusion…. 4w
AlaMich I loved it as a kid, but let me warn you that 3s company has NOT aged well!! If you watch it, prepare to be offended. (edited) 4w

Chelsea.Poole @Ruthiella oh for sure! I maybe should have worded that differently in my review. I guess for me as a reader, this one is much more easy to follow and was explained a bit more even though those things maybe didn‘t even happen, if that makes sense. I suppose it‘s more of a writing style preference for me. 4w
Chelsea.Poole @AlaMich thanks for the warning! Maybe I won‘t even attempt lol 4w
Ruthiella My comment wasn‘t to try to get you to like Awad! 😂😂 No worries there. It was just something I liked about both books. I see the similarity to Treasure Island! too in the MC‘s obsession with a piece of media. Also I underscore @AlaMich - the original show is very dated. 4w
AlaMich @Ruthiella I doubt there is a scene in any episode that is not offensive by today‘s standards. 4w

#ItTakesAllKinds #Roadtrip I think it said that they took these signs down in 1963 ,but at its height ,there were 7000 sets in 43 states. Fun car game to look for these on your travels back in the day.Found this little gem ,at the big book sale I went to a few weeks ago . Published in 1965. So six signs spread out a ways , you get a poem!

#WinterPhotoChallenge #ChillyMorning

Year: January 2011. Place: Heber, AZ. Matt, our two greyhounds at the time, Pete (black) and Babs (fawn), and I spent New Year's up in northern Arizona and were actually snowed in for a few days. This was one of our chilly morning walks. #nostalgia #notatalllikePhoenixinthesummer 🩵❄️🩵
Points: 10 + 1 for posting = 11 points

Leftcoastzen Wow , didn‘t know you had greyhounds ! My mom had whippets for a time. (edited) 5mo
dabbe @Leftcoastzen Yep; we adopted them back in 2008 and had them for 12 years. They definitely were a different breed to get used to, but we loved them immensely. Our dear friend in our 'hood had a Whippet and (at one point) 4 greyhounds. We'd all take trips together and take walks in the 'hood. People would just stand and stare--in a wonderful way. 🤩🤗😍 I still miss them every day. ❤️ 5mo
mabell Lovely! 🥰 Snow and fur friends! 5mo

Hooked_on_books Aw, look at their little coats! Good babies. 🐶🐶 5mo
dabbe @Hooked_on_books They really were. And it was hysterical to see them try to run in the snow with their long, spindly legs! 🤩🤗😍 5mo
Bookwomble Oh! I didn't know snow was possible in Arizona! My assumption was of a largely desert state. USA is such a big country! 5mo
dabbe @Bookwomble The northern part of our state can get quite snowy; that's the cool plateau highlands region. The southern part (where Phoenix and Tucson are) is the desert area. And Flagstaff has the most ponderosa pines than the entire world. 🤩 5mo

Listening to this relaxing audio reading of Twilight has been wonderful. I needed something nostalgic for some comfort, and this was perfect!

@TheSpineView (thanks for the tag! 🧡🖤💜)

1. Oh, yes. Sometimes I'd modify the fort to be me under my bed covers with a book and a flashlight. #nostalgia
2. So many books remind me of childhood, especially since so many Litttens are revisiting their childhood by reading them! The latest: THE SECRET OF THE OLD CLOCK. Nancy was my hidden wardrobe to Sherlock Holmes.
Wanna play? Consider yourself tagged! 🤗

TheSpineView Thanks for playing and happy Tuesday 😊 6mo

In the 1960s, 18-year old Victor Chmara is afraid of something and is hiding in a small French town close to Switzerland where he pretends to be a count of Russian and Egyptian origin. In this place populated by strange characters, he meets Yvonne. The time spent with her continues to haunt him and years later he returns in an attempt to find her.
