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! 2w
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. 2w

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! 😁😁 2w
Megabooks @BarbaraBB I‘m definitely a nostalgia listener, but I‘m picking up some great new songs too lately. 2w
Megabooks @vivastory the lyrics definitely hit harder as an adult than they did as a teen. 2w
BarbaraBB I‘d love to know what you‘re picking up these days and hope you‘ll continue #ThursdayTunes 😜🥰 (edited) 2w
TieDyeDude This song is new to me, but I like it! Similar orchestral arrangement to BSS. Is that throughout the album? 2w
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) 2w
Megabooks @Bookwomble thanks for chiming in! And recommending another artist I‘ll check out! I hope you try the album @TieDyeDude 👍🏻 2w
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 😊 2w
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. 2w
Bookwomble @Megabooks You only know if you know! 😊 2w

As a fan of the show I wanted to know more about the creators and the folks behind the series. A red flag was the early chapter dedicated to the history of Monty Python. Why am I reading this? The book was mostly a regurgitation of facts about places, characters and events from the show. Having seen most episodes, I already knew all this. The final straw was the chapter listing bios of every celebrity ever featured on the show. I just gave up.

Caroline2 Argh, sounds v disappointing! 2mo

So, this is part 1 of 2 of the #TwinPeaksReadingChallenge prompt list.
🌲🌲🌲

To add a bit more spice/variation, I put all the prompts in a jar and will randomly draw one of them on the 24th of every month which I will *try* to prioritise.
🌲🌲🌲
This month's prompt is: 8 - The Double R: Book title has 2 'R's exactly.
I'm excited about this as that one offers me a few book choices I'm actually looking forward to read!😅
🌲🌲🌲

TheSpineView This is one of the easier prompts. I need to look through my stacks. Hope to my find something from my TBR mountain. 2mo
Bookwormjillk Interesting. I have committed to not bringing any new books into my house (including electronic) until April. I‘ll have to see what I have already. 2mo

StaceGhost I think the special agent one is going to be Shirley because my advisor suggested I read it lol this is such a cool idea and all these prompts are a lot of fun! 2mo
Yuki_Onna @TheSpineView Yes, right? I was relieved, tbh😁 If I had started with drawing the 'North Carolina' or the 'star-crossed lovers', for example, I'd be in trouble as a non-romance reader based in Germany😅 2mo
Yuki_Onna @StaceGhost 👏🤗 How are you, dear? 2mo
Yuki_Onna @Bookwormjillk That's how I'll play, too. I decided to do this to get books off my shelves on my Kobo read that have been sitting there for years.
That said, I really should have chosen some prompts more carefully, as I might not own a book set in North Carolina, for example... 😅 I just randomly chose prompts off my overflowing prompt list. We'll see how it goes... The plan is: read books already living in your household! 🌞
2mo
StaceGhost @Yuki_Onna excellent! Overwhelmed with challenging concepts and exciting work and loving it 😍 how are you? This is so good 2mo
Yuki_Onna @ShaceGhost That sounds exciting! Sending big hugs 🤗 2mo

This is part 2 of 2 of the #TwinPeaksReadingChallenge prompt list.
🌲🌲🌲
It's a very laid back, low-pressure reading challenge I thought of to get a few books off my shelves read I might never read otherwise.
Play this as it works for you. Create a TBR for the prompts, combine it with other reading challenges, or simply tick off a prompt when you happen to read a book/novella/manga/graphic novel/children's book etc. that fits the prompt for you.

Chili I‘m excited to start! 2mo
Amor4Libros Excited about this! I started a book for prompt 23 😊 2mo
JessClark78 Can‘t wait to get started on this. I already have a few books picked out. 🙂 2mo
Yuki_Onna @Chili @Amor4Libros @JessClark78 🖤So happy you are on this journey with me! I'm looking forward to seeing your choices it you post about them! 2mo
