I acquired zero physical books in February. Zero. Zilch. Nada. I think this is an accomplishment! (I‘m looking toward a move, no idea when it will happen, and am trying not to acquire more stuff to move.) My mother is unimpressed. (“Good for you.” she says.) I‘m very impressed! I know you all will understand!

LeahBergen Wow! 👏👏 3mo
Prairiegirl_reading I‘ve already acquired a new book in March so good for you!! 3mo

#BookHaul #LibraryHaul
Three books for my shelves (though at the moment that actually means somewhere on the floor):
I've wanted the Narnia one for a while: the author posits that each book in the series explores the characteristics ascribed to each planet in mediaeval Europe.
"Billy No-Mates" explores male loneliness which, given the suicide 'epidemic' amongst men between 25-50, could be dour but it's apparently both poignant and funny.
⬇️

Bookwomble "Basilisks and Beowulf" examines the Anglo-Saxon 'obsession' with monsters.
I ordered "Black British History: New Perspectives" from the library after reading editor Hakim Adi's brilliant compilation of historical writings, "Black Voices on Britain". I think this is a book better sitting on public shelves than on mine.

vivastory I know I have mentioned Backlisted a few times on your posts, one of my fave episodes that they ever did was their Beowulf episode where each member talked about the translation of Beowulf that they read. 10mo
rwmg Some fascinating titles there 10mo

Bookwomble @vivastory Yes, Scott, you have mentioned Backlisted over and over and over again! So, I've finally listened to an episode - Beowulf, obviously - and I'm glad you kept reminding me about it, as it was great 😃👍 I've now got to listen to Bruce Springsteen's Darkness at the Edge of Town with different ears. Hwaet! 10mo
Bookwomble @rwmg I thought so, too 😁 I do wish they'd stop publishing fascinating titles, at least for a while, so that I'd have chance to actually read some of them! 10mo
Bookwomble @vivastory Scott, I re-read my reply to your comment and it reads to me now as sarcastic, but that was far from my intent, and I hope I didn't offend you. My "over and over and over again" was meant to be directed at my forgetfulness, and I was appreciative of your kind reminders ? 4mo
vivastory @Bookwomble No offense was taken! 😉 4mo
Bookwomble @vivastory Oh, good! That's a relief 😊 4mo

Because American media and Hollywood are so horrendous at showing the above as fact. Foreign films are much better at showing a variety of attributes and emotions as strength particularly in women. 🥵

Finally! @CarolynM thank you so much for gifting me this book a few years ago. I really enjoyed it. Spent half a day gardening in the sun and then sat in the shade and devoured this in one sitting. There is a mystery here as to what happened to two friends who were so close in University, that now, years later one feels some sense of guilt about the others death. The feel of University life from the early 90s was wonderful nostalgia for me ⬇️

Centique Some great stuff to dig into about relationships from friendship to romance and marriage and whether we live up to our youthful ideals. 1y
TrishB I enjoyed this one too 👍🏻 1y
