I Am What I Am | John Barrowman

#titlesandtunes #guiltypleasure

My guilty pleasure music-wise is John Barrowman, but I have so many favourite songs of his it was impossible for me to narrow it down!

In the end it was just easier for me to double up with book and song 😂 (I've already read Anything Goes, his first biography - this is his second).

Cinfhen He really does have a gorgeous voice! I hope to add the song you selected, once I get to the states because right now due to licensing rights I can‘t download that particular song from my region🤪 2w

jenniferw88 @Cinfhen did you watch BBC Sherlock/Fleabag? The Penguin Classics edition on Audible is narrated by Andrew Scott (Moriarty/Hot Priest). I'd skip the introduction but this might work for you, as I know (?) audio is your preferred format. I did it on audio as Scott is a Dubliner, & thought what better way to read the book for this prompt?! 😂 3w

Pip2 Be honest, how are you liking Dubliners? Have you read Ulysses? I only ask because I did not care for Ulysses and want to know if it is worth the attempt at trying out Dubliners. 3w
jenniferw88 @Pip2 I haven't read Ulysses. I'm doing the audio of the penguin classic edition, which is narrated by Andrew Scott (BBC's Moriarty), so quite enjoying it. Only one stand out story so far, but have 2 hours to go. I'd skip the intro though if you go down this route or read this edition! 3w

Pip2 Penguin does seem to have the better translations for the most part. I am reading the Canterbury tales Penguin classic and it is more comprehensible than the modern library edition that I had initially began with. 3w
jenniferw88 @Pip2 When I was studying Jane Austen at Uni, we all had to have the Penguin Classic or Oxford World Classics for our editions. 3w
Pip2 Do you have a preference for Penguin over Oxford? 3w
jenniferw88 @Pip2 No, but found it useful to know what editions my professors preferred. There's too much choice with classic editions! 3w

#titlesandtunes #islandvibes

The history behind probably the most famous novel about being trapped on an island! It teaches a lot of survival skills (like how to make clay pots and bread), so my song choice was obvious. The music video also reinforces the island idea.

Even though it's not quite as good as Priory, A Day of Fallen Night wins the #fiction bracket for April. But the events in The Darkness has just about stayed in my mind longer.

It's a tough call between The Postscript Murders and The Darkness, but as I have put 'Bleeding Heart Yard' (#3 in the Harbinder Kaur series by Elly Griffiths) on my #alphabeticalbingo master list, I'm going with The Postscript Murders (#2 in the series)

Road Trip | Beth O'Leary

For those of you doing my #ukroadtrip challenge, I'm aware that some of the counties I've listed may not exist anymore. My suggestion is you search for a book in a town/city that was in that county but put it in the newer category if I have it listed. This may mean certain counties can't be completed, but as there's no time limit on this challenge it doesn't really matter!
