Goodbye February, it's been fun.  Grab ahold of the rope ladder and climb back aboard the good ship Pumdeg Dau o Lyfrau for our March travels through the parallel universe of  Terry Pratchett's Discworld.  Our guide is our fictional librarian of the month - The Librarian, once known as Dr. Horace Worblehat. He was changed into an orangutan by a beam of magic, decided he liked it and didn't want to be changed back to a human so had his name excised from all records. 

There are a variety of ways to complete this challenge with plenty of rabbit trails. Read a book with one or more of the following (but not limited to) and have fun exploring:

·         Spell out the first and/or last name of the character's name - one book per letter from the title on the cover

·         Spell out the first and/or last name of the author - one book per letter 

·         Read one or more books in the series.

·         Read any book written by the author

·         Follow in a character's footsteps and read a book set in the country or time period of the story.

·         Follow in the author's footsteps and read a book set in their place or time of birth.

·         Read a book with the first or last name of the character or author in the title.

Find out more about The Librarian with Making the Librarian, Do not call him a Monkey, and Terry Pratchett with A Conversation with Terry, and with Fading Memory, Terry revisits Carpet World.

***********

Count of Monte Cristo Readalong:

We all got off to a slow start, so I'm throwing in a week to catch up to finish reading through Chapter 12.   I'm enjoying the story so far.  The characters are fascinating, the imagery and emotions so vivid.    Reading it slowly, absorbing the nuances and tidbits, the politics, the footnotes to history. How the narrator's similes and metaphors add character to the settings.  What do you think about Villefort and his father? The reasons why Villefort throws Dante in prison? Dante's reaction to Chateau d'IF?  I'm reminded of Sir Walter Scott's quote - "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we first practice to deceive."

Reads in progress: The Count of Monte Cristo and learning a few new words.  Pratchett's The Colour of Magic which is weirdish but kind of reminds of Xanth series and having to learn a whole new world and cast of characters.   Karen Marie Moning's Kingdom of Shadow and Light which is very good and putting everyone to the test.

Robin, thank you, as always!

I read Her Majesty: Queen Elizabeth II and Her Court - 3 Stars - As many of you may already know, I love all things English, monarchy, basically anything to do with the Queen. This biography was interesting, although I knew most of it already. There were certain parts – the sections on government – that were a bit boring and slow.

The Princess Anne story had me smiling. She was in my dream the other night! I loved how she was portrayed in "The Crown".

One of my favorite stories in this book was when Ceausescu and his wife visited. See my review, if you're interested - the very last quote on "The Queen's Guests".

My audio read of Ringworld proved to be pretty successful.  It is considered classic Sci Fi and is about an outer space mission made up of different beings who land on a previously unexplored apparently inhabited world called the Ringworld.  The narrator was enjoyable and I might listen to a couple more in the series.  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61179.Ringworld
 

Otherwise my reading has been mainly fluff.  I finished the last published book in my Amish Quilt Shop series. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26837878-murder-handcrafted  I read Kristen Higgin’s Catch of the Day because I liked the cover.  It happens to be first in a series and I plan to continue.  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13503586-catch-of-the-day  Finally I read Mary Jo Putney’s The Bargain for my bookchain.  It was a great regency if anyone is looking for a good historical romance............heiress forced to marry by her father’s will discovers marrying a dying Army officer will fulfill the terms of the will,  but he recovers! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46226701-the-bargain
 

Currently listening to a Department Q Nordic Noir because I need an O for last months librarian and reading a classic mystery by Raymond Chandler for my other Bookchain.  Enjoying both!

Finished Ferrante's The Lying Life of Adults and didn't really enjoy it. It's supposed to be miserable, it's about a girl discovering all the adults lying to her. Very vulgar, deliberately shocking. 

Reread Katherine Addison's The Angel of the Crows, it's a really enjoyable book, even if a lot of the world it's set in isn't explained.

I just finished  The Spaceship Next Door by Gene Doucette which I quite enjoyed. It was recommended by a commenter and subsequently reviewed on the Dear Author site. You can see the review here. I never expected that I'd read and enjoy a book with (highlight to read) SPOILER ALERTzombiesEND SPOILER.

"When a spaceship lands in Sorrow Falls, a lovable and fearless small-town girl is the planet’s only hope for survival
 
Three years ago, a spaceship landed in an open field in the quiet mill town of Sorrow Falls, Massachusetts. It never opened its doors, and for all that time, the townspeople have wondered why the ship landed there, and what—or who—could be inside.

Then one day a government operative—posing as a journalist—arrives in town, asking questions. He discovers sixteen-year-old Annie Collins, one of the ship’s closest neighbors and a local fixture known throughout the town, who has some of the answers.

As a matter of fact, Annie Collins might be the most important person on the planet. She just doesn’t know it."

Just finished watching "News of the World" on Netflix, I enjoyed it. Lots to unpack, it'd be interesting to watch with an older teen who'd read the book. They changed a lot for the movie, very different in some parts. Makes it clearer why it came across as a simplistic read - lots of stereotypes. Mysterious Indians, dead black people, gun as saviour (it's a bigger character than any of the women!), men the journey, women the destination. Hard-working, harsh Germans! Only people who survive are white. 

Gorgeous scenery in the film. Made me think about Australian versions of the 'man travels with young kid' story - there's the Battlers (Kylie Tennant) and the Shiralee (Darcy Niland) - although both set a lot later. I'll have to dig them out.

Last night I finished the book my distant book group will be discussing tomorrow.

Miss Jane: A Novel by Brad Watson

It was a pensive book that reminded me a bit of Where the Crawdads Sing when it focused on the natural world. I found it a quick read.

"Since his award-winning debut collection of stories, Last Days of the Dog-Men, Brad Watson has been expanding the literary traditions of the South in work as melancholy, witty, strange, and lovely as any in America. Drawing on the true story of his great-aunt, he explores the life of Miss Jane Chisolm, born in rural, early-twentieth-century Mississippi with a genital birth defect that excludes her from the roles traditional for a woman of her time and place and frees her to live her life as she pleases. With irrepressible vitality and generosity of spirit, Miss Jane mesmerizes those around her, exerting an unearthly fascination that lives beyond her still."

**

Earlier I read and enjoyed the contemporary romance, 

"Opposites come together for a spicy surprise.

Bradford “Tully” Tolliver has everything—money, a great car, a beautiful condo, and a promising career as one of Portland’s hottest young lawyers. Sure, he puts in long hours and has no social life to speak of, but who needs romance when corporations pay top dollar for his expertise? He hesitates when a colleague asks if her cousin can live with him, but the arrangement will last less than a year, and then the cousin—Sage Filling—will return to his tiny hometown.

But Sage is handsome and intriguing, and his cooking makes Tully swoon. Sage has obligations back home, though, and Tully has offers he might not refuse from a persistent—and very wealthy—ex. Since Tully and Sage each have a full plate, can they make room for a side of love?"

I read your review and the quotes you pulled from the book. I found this one about Prince Phillip interesting considering that he made it to 99 and if he survives another few months will in fact live to be a hundred. 

Quote

‘God, I don’t want to live to be a hundred. I can’t imagine anything worse.’ Yet, at ninety, he continues to view old age as another country, shedding a few patronages but continuing at much the same pace as before.”

I'm completely enamoured with V.E. Scwab's The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.  Having a hard time putting it down.  Started reading it yesterday and for the first time in a long while, took the book to bed until 1:30 or so.   😁  Good thing I have the day off.  Back to reading this morning all the way through lunch time. Taking a break to get things done.  

"France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.

But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name."

 

Finished Pratchett's The Colour of Magic which was really good and weird to say the least. The blurb was right. Where ever Rincewind went, chaos followed. How often can you say the character of Death is amusing.

Totally enjoyed the Ringworld series which I first read when the books came out in the 70's and 80's.  Still have them on my shelves.  Now i want to revisit since it's been a while.  Niven and Pournelle's The Mote in God's Eye was also a keeper along with Lucifer's Hammer.  You might want to try those two as well.

Hey BaW folks!

Sorry - I've been absent for a number of weeks again.  Things got crazy and I've been skimming the BaW threads instead of reading and then I feel like a fake if I post without having read through. So I didn't post. 🙂

I've been listening to The Count of Monte Cristo through Audible - this version:

https://www.audible.ca/pd/The-Count-of-Monte-Cristo-Audiobook/B0723274L7?ref=a_library_t_c5_libItem_&pf_rd_p=a00014e8-d2ee-472f-a5f3-837e4e395ee4&pf_rd_r=ND0EWF77NDQZQA7VG1MJ

I'm really liking the narration.  I've been listening and colouring 🙂 and I've made it to Chapter 26 which I think might put me ahead of schedule.  I'm not very literary-ally (I just made up that word ;P) knowledgeable so I don't really have any insightful comments.  The narrator of the audiobook does a great job of making the characters individual and different from one another so that's helpful to me in keeping them all straight.  Oh - and I was watching a new YouTube video from a favourite channel of mine where they do little skits on how the different enneagram types of personalities would react to different scenarios and one of the gals made a passing mention of Monte Cristo and the Chateau d'If and I was so proud that I knew what she referred to in her comment!

I'm actually on track to finish 52 books this year (although my most recent is a reread and I'm not sure if that counts).  Nothing I've read yet this year has really been a stand-out for me but I've got a few on the go and more in line to start that look promising. 🙂

Books read in 2021

8. (Reread) My Theodosia by Anya Seton  *Historical fiction (18th/19th century America)

7. The Coming of the Wolf by Elizabeth Chadwick  *Historical fiction (11th century England/France)

6. I Remember You by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir  *Horror

5. Emily Davis (Fairacre #8) by Miss Read  *Fiction (audiobook)  With this book, I’ve finished the entire Fairacre series. 🙂

4. A Peaceful Retirement (Fairacre #20) by Miss Read  *Fiction

3. Farewell to Fairacre (Fairacre #19) by Miss Read  *Fiction

2. Miss Clare Remembers (Fairacre #4) by Miss Read  *Fiction (audiobook)

1. Changes at Fairacre (Fairacre #18) by Miss Read   *Fiction

I'm suffering from too many books at once syndrome so I haven't finished anything. I have eight Kindle books plus an audio book on my currently reading list. The list below is in order of how much of my reading time each book is given. 

Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent - I'd probably read and digest this more slowly but it's for book club and we're meeting (outside at a park) next Monday. I should have started sooner but I didn't so here I am. I'm finding it compelling so far. I've heard some people say that The Warmth of Other Suns was better but I haven't read that or anything else she's written so I have nothing for comparison. 

The Burning Land - #5 in The Saxon Stories/Last Kingdom series. I started this one last year and put it aside. Bill (dh) started reading the series over the weekend so I thought I'd pick this back up and try to remember where I was. Since then I've had a hard time putting it down. We've both watched the tv series and so far the books I read and am reading haven't passed anything that's in the tv show.  I look forward to getting past the parts I'm familiar with and hope I do that before the next season comes out on Netflix. This is excellent historical fiction about the creation of a single country called England but they are definitely not for the faint hearted. There's a lot of blood and gore just as there would have been in reality.

Romantic Outlaws: The Extraordinary Lives of Mary Wollstonecraft and Her Daughter Mary Shelley - This is quite a long book but it never gets boring imo. Shelley just drowned and was buried, and I expect one of the chapters on Mary Wollstonecraft very soon to be the one in which she dies. (In the last chapter about her she was getting close to the birth of her daughter Mary.) I don't know where Wollstonecraft's story will go after that but I know Mary Shelley still had almost half of her life left to live after Percy died. Since the book alternates the chapters between each woman I'm wondering what the format will look like for the rest of the book. 

Murder on Waverly Place: A Gaslight Mystery - for easy bedtime reading.

You Will Be Safe Here - I don't remember where I heard of this book but it was on my GR list and when I cleaned out the list this one made the cut. I pulled it out of my jar for my March fiction book. I'm not far into it but so far so good. It's a short book, just over 300 pages, so I won't have any trouble finishing it in the month of March. Once I get some of the others behind me this will move higher up on the list.

The Secret Life of Groceries - Also my TBR pick, this time for nonfiction. As with the book above I'm not far into it but it's promising. 

 The Count of Monte Cristo - This would have been farther up on my list but Robin said we're taking an extra week to catch up and I'm a chapter ahead. I read Chapter 13 before I read the post that said we'll give Chapter 12 more time. Next week or whenever we get back on schedule, this will move up in importance. 🙂 

A People's History of the United States - Always low on my list because it's meant to be a year long read. 

Inspired by some friends who've been knitting and crocheting I finally went through my yarn bins that I haven't opened since the move and decided to get back into crochet. Now that I have a few projects to keep my hands busy I'm actually making progress on my audio book, Martin Chuzzlewit. I only have about 10-1/2 hours left.

I forgot to post earlier this week about the one book that I finished:

Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen -- this was the last of her novels that I had not yet read.  It wasn't my favorite; but since it was the first novel that she wrote and not published until after her death, it probably wasn't her favorite either. 😉

The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey

Here is what I wrote last year:

On 8/18/2020 at 7:54 PM, Kareni said:

I just finished The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey by Candice Millard which my book group will be discussing on Zoom later this week. Last month's book group book (A Primate's Memoir) left me with no desire to go to Africa; this book has left me with no desire to go to the Amazon. Clearly, reading book group nonfiction books is dangerous to my travel bucket list! That said, the story was compelling ... though not quite as compelling as the author's Destiny of the Republic which I read a year or so ago.

 "At once an incredible adventure narrative and a penetrating biographical portrait, The River of Doubt is the true story of Theodore Roosevelt’s harrowing exploration of one of the most dangerous rivers on earth.


The River of Doubt—it is a black, uncharted tributary of the Amazon that snakes through one of the most treacherous jungles in the world. Indians armed with poison-tipped arrows haunt its shadows; piranhas glide through its waters; boulder-strewn rapids turn the river into a roiling cauldron.
 

After his humiliating election defeat in 1912, Roosevelt set his sights on the most punishing physical challenge he could find, the first descent of an unmapped, rapids-choked tributary of the Amazon. Together with his son Kermit and Brazil’s most famous explorer, Cândido Mariano da Silva Rondon, Roosevelt accomplished a feat so great that many at the time refused to believe it. In the process, he changed the map of the western hemisphere forever.

Along the way, Roosevelt and his men faced an unbelievable series of hardships, losing their canoes and supplies to punishing whitewater rapids, and enduring starvation, Indian attack, disease, drowning, and a murder within their own ranks. Three men died, and Roosevelt was brought to the brink of suicide. The River of Doubt brings alive these extraordinary events in a powerful nonfiction narrative thriller that happens to feature one of the most famous Americans who ever lived."

yes I started back at beginning 

 

but got detoured by having volunteered to talk with my son’s Civics class about being a lawyer, first Amendment etc...   this next week 

I had been trying to figure out the tech aspects and how to deal with Zoom, but now it looks like it will be In Person!!! Second day they’ll be back for hybrid instruction!  So no more tech concerns, but instead content and what should I wear issues.  My son is concerned that I will be a terrible embarrassment to him.
