#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!

@squirrelbrain @Megabooks @BarbaraBB

Megabooks I loved this too and gave it 5 ⭐. Glad you're enjoying camp so much! 2w
Suet624 Wow. Thats some fast reading!! 2w
BarbaraBB Another 5 ⭐️read! 4/4! Very glad. 2w

jenniferw88 @BarbaraBB 😀 I'm slightly nervous about Tilt - it didn't appeal throughout the voting process, so we'll see! We should be on safer ground with the Cosby, as I like crime fiction, but I haven't read him before, so who knows? (Actually, the only author from this year's camp I've read before is Okorafor 🤣) 2w
BarbaraBB I hadn‘t read her before and did read three of the others 😀. I‘ve been curious about Tilt as well. 2w
jenniferw88 @BarbaraBB with my medical issues, pregnancy/motherhood is EXTREMELY UNLIKELY (& possibly too dangerous), so I think I probably won't identify with the MC. 2w
BarbaraBB I get that. I am a mother but I am especially looking forward to how she reacts to the events happening as a person not as a mother. I often am annoyed by those typical motherly reactions and can‘t really identify with them either somehow. Like in this book which I hope bears no resemblance to Tilt but has a slightly similar topic. 1w

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.

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!

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!

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.

#tlt #threelisthursdays

AmyG If not for Dickens and the Brontes I would have read maybe 2 books? 🤣 3mo
dabbe The Brontes were early-mid 1800s (Charlotte died in 1855). Same with Dickens (he died in 1870). Next week's list will cover most of the 1800s. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵📚🩵 3mo

jenniferw88 @BarbaraBB she is an autobuy author for me, so I'm not really surprised it was 5 ⭐️! She has two series - if you like fantasy, this one in her new series is the book to try, but if you prefer (historical) mysteries, then you might enjoy the one in this comment better. 3mo
BarbaraBB Thank you! The quote you whatsapped me really made me lol 3mo
jenniferw88 @BarbaraBB there's a lot of amusing quotes in both series, so you should (🤞) like her books. 3mo

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!

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!

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!

Hooked_on_books I agree with you on Sister in Law, which is tremendous. I would have swapped Neneh out for that one. 4mo
jenniferw88 @Hooked_on_books I don't really want to read Story of a Heart because I had a heart transplant aged 12, so it's a bit close to home. BUT I told myself I'd read it if it made the shortlist. I've never heard of Neneh, so I am willing to give it a go on audio. 4mo
Hooked_on_books @jenniferw88 That‘s definitely a close perspective to that book! I can say it‘s beautifully done and respectful to all parties, but of course I can‘t speak to what the reading experience will be like for you. Hopefully you‘ll give yourself a lot of grace to put it down if it‘s too much. Neneh, on the other hand, I knew as a one hit wonder plus I‘m not very interested in childhood memoir and she focuses a lot on that. 4mo
jenniferw88 @Hooked_on_books I should technically be OK with it, as I had a domino heart transplant, which occurs when 1 patient (my donor) undergoes heart-lung transplantation and their healthy heart is given, as part of a “domino” procedure, to a heart transplant recipient (me), but thanks. 4mo
