OK, I've given in & joined Fable.

#camplitsy25 is really working for me this year! 4/4 getting 5 stars!

I started this at 6:10 this morning and have just finished it! And I had tears near the end, although not full-on crying!

Only read this if you like opera or classical music - most of this went over my head, but it is readable when it gets to the historical background of some of Handel's pieces.

Definitely not for a beginner musician - you need some understanding of terms, etc.

1. The Greatest Showman
2. POTC: Dead Man‘s Chest
3. Harry Potter - the John Williams tunes

Honourable mentions to Babe the Sheep Pig & the 1995 Pride and Prejudice.

For those of you who thought Barthes...! And yes, I know this is AI, and I shouldn't rely on it 🤣

#camplitsy25 is really knocking it out of the park this year for me - all 3 have got 5 🌟 from me so far, and I may even try the one I was unsure about! (Tilt). @Megabooks @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain

@maich THANK YOU for everything in my #staycationintimeswap - I forgot to take photos of each layer, but I seriously love it all! I'm particularly looking forward to the tagged book - it'll be really interesting reading a book set in the 18th century that isn't based in the UK!

Thanks for organising @Chrissyreadit @DinoMom

Tagged book wins the #readingbracket2025 for June, but Audition is my first Wild Card! @Catsandbooks

Just want to share this, as it's (semi) relevant to the novel: https://staffprofiles.bournemouth.ac.uk/display/whittingtonp

I have the privilege of calling him a friend and a neighbour. He's absolutely amazing with what he's achieved - paraplegic due to birth complications. He's able to drive, whilst I (with no obvious physical disabilities) can't!

@maich your #staycationintimeswap was sent today! @Chrissyreadit @DinoMom

Hi everyone!
Unfortunately, I am going to have to leave #litsylove, as the cost of postage has gone up, and it'll soon add up (& I was very behind anyway!). I would have sent an email, but I can't remember who I need to notify! If I have written a note in your #summerswap card, don't worry, as I'm still going to be writing to you. If you can please remove me from the list, that would be great!
Hope you can understand!

Dear @maich, I have a couple of requests that I forgot to put on my form.

🌎 Page count for books - PLEASE only send more than one if they are 400 pages or less - I'm running out of shelf space! 🤣
🌎 Either focus on location or time - I realise what I wrote on the form will be hard to find, so if one is easier to do than the other, that's absolutely fine!

Thanks in advance!

@Chrissyreadit @DinoMom

Just seen this on FB.

Just bought!

Thanks @dabbe for sharing!

I expected this to be higher with my MA in 18th century studies, but 27! And I'm not sure the Brontes and Dickens should be on this list - I think they are late 1800s authors.

April 2025 reads. Not featured is Story of a Heart (DNF). It took me all month to read Global Crisis!

My #camplitsy25 nominations. I'm not expecting the tagged book to get through, but it's one I want to get.

Orange reader description.

This description makes sense! See @TheSpineView's, @TheLudicReader's, or @ReadingOver50's page for the link!

Think this says everything. #wpnf25.

Glad I got it from the library and not bought it.

March #readingbracket2025 @Catsandbooks

#Marchreadingstats

Considering I was in hospital having my hip replacement, I'm pretty pleased with how many books I read last month.

Have tagged the best book because even though it's not 5 stars, I've got my Dad into the series, and we're now both reading it!

#5joysfriday @DebinHawaii

1. My progress with my full hip replacement seems to be much better after the failed dynamic hip screw operation I had initially.
2. I went out for my first non-hospital related trip out & bought the tagged book!
3. I no longer have the dressing on my scar.
4. There's talk of possibly getting another cat after having to put Jaffa down last year.
5. Crunchy nut corn flakes don't cause my blood sugars to go sky high!

#wpnf25

#52bookclub25 #audiobookhasmultiplenarrators

I can see why this is on the shortlist, but it wasn't particularly outstanding for me.

#aty25 #collectionofshortstoriesornovellas @BarbaraBB

Low pick!

#wpnf25

Well, I've read 3 of them! Agree with 2 (Agent Zo & What the Wild Sea Can Be), not so sure about Raising Hare.

I'm glad The Eagle and the Hart didn't make it, but disappointed Sister in Law isn't there.

Will be getting Story of a Heart out of the library!
