joys of june

[Magdelanye, Senior Flight Attendant]

the days of reading in the grass are here!! It may be a bit harder to concentrate with so much happening in the surround, so what's grabbing your attention now?

[Ellen]

Well, it turned suddenly cold & wet here in the Bronx. I'm towards the beginning of Karl Ove Knausgaard's My Struggle: Book 4. For some reason, I've loved this work, the first 3 volumes at least, and so far I'm completely drawn in to volume 4.

What's everybody/anybody else reading?

[Magdelanye, Senior Flight Attendant]

just finished the bone clocks
read a couple of reviews
..some folks seem disgruntled with it...the fantasy element mainly cannot seemingly be contained by a certain kind of reader who would rather have the author conform to type. I found it compelling, even when I hated the characters.
I'll be interested in your take when you do get to it.
I'm still thinking of ways to open this group up.
suggestions?

[Ellen]

I was wondering the same thing. But I have no ideas. I would miss it, well, I'd miss you. What happened to Ice?

[Magdelanye, Senior Flight Attendant]

been wondering that too...maybe he's on holidays
what I was thinking re the group is to contact the members and remind them of their membership and then see if everyone would invite appropriate friends to join.
I have been waiting to get a new device so as to tackle our poor library, but waiting is a poor action. I did have some fun reading old posts.
what do you think?

[Magdelanye, Senior Flight Attendant]

Ellie...hope the weather has brightened and heated up there by now. I am reading outside every day now.
waiting for your thoughts re revivifying this group. and I have a question


didn't we have a topic dedicated to the library? Do remember some extensive discussions

[Ice, Pilgrim]

Wandering around my tbr list, work is busy and have taken 1 day's holiday in amongst the public ones. Reading my third book on a kindle. Is it me or are these copies less proof read than the tangible versions.

[Magdelanye, Senior Flight Attendant]

nice to hear from you Ice.

The same question I asked Ellie I put to you.

and you know how I feel about kindles!

[Ice, Pilgrim]

Long books and short reading time as the grandsons were over at the weekend.

[Magdelanye, Senior Flight Attendant]

surely you read aloud to them, good grandpa?

I have just begunThe Blind Assassin for a group read On Paths Unknown.

[Ice, Pilgrim]

We have now reached the stage where reading is both ways :-)

[Magdelanye, Senior Flight Attendant]

wow they must be precocious... weren't they born quite recently? like, 1 year ago and 3...?

[Ice, Pilgrim]

5 and 2++ ....... back in the library again reducing the tbr.

[Magdelanye, Senior Flight Attendant]

wow...I seem to remember waiting for the first one....has it been that long?

now you get to get caught up on all the kids books that werent around when we were little,m as well as reread the faves!

[Ice, Pilgrim]

Ace: The Very Important Pig and The Hobbit are ready and waiting !!
