psalva Makes sense. Θαλλασα (thalasa) is the Greek word for sea. This is a new one for me though. 1mo

moonela Definitely, is easier “talk” with AI, you never discuss, you never disagree, you don‘t see faces, feelings. But we need to, but at the same time sometimes is difficult, because the people, us, don‘t know how to disagree. 1mo
Purpleness @moonela Definitely, and we won‘t learn by “talking” with AI 1mo

Maybe not that weird, but I had to look it up when I came across it earlier in this book.

One of my niblings asked for all the Harry Potter books for Christmas; then he added, in a quavery, hopeful voice, “and could they match?”

TheSpineView Ahhhh.... how could you say no. 2mo

Texreader One would hope so! 😃 2mo
rwmg “The Duchess was very angry. 'This is unheard of. I may not leave my quarters unless chaperoned by an older woman and a man of my family whose rank may not be lower than that of marquis. To do otherwise would be unseemly.' And so the duchess burned to death in the name of seemliness.“

2mo
Purpleness @rwmg Ah, but it seems due to her tragic end, she was unable to publish her etiquette book, so her scruples appear to have died with her;) 2mo
Purpleness @Texreader Well, I certainly would 2mo
Purpleness @rwmg Also, that is hilarious (as well as tragic). Thanks for sharing. 2mo

So, I went into this more or less blind, for some reason expecting essays on the impact of Anne of Green Gables, and boy was that first short story not what I was expecting! The second one, however, was not bad, and did include this gem of a word; bibliocuriosity. The third one is bittersweet; hopeful but not syrupy. Still on the fence as I move on to the fourth.

ShyBookOwl That line definitely pulls me in! 3mo
MariaW I am using this first line currently as an ad to get students to borrow it from our student‘s library. 😂 3mo
Purpleness @MariaW Yes, that‘s awesome! At a previous job I used to do a first-chapter read-aloud to try to get kids to check out the book if they wanted to find out how it ended. 3mo
Purpleness @ShyBookOwl Absolutely! It does its job well 3mo
