Rephrasing: I do listen to books, mostly. Have been listening quite a lot lately. One author I tried and failed to listen to though, was Terry Pratchett. (Sorry, Alex! I tried because I read those recent posts of yours ...) Three times I tried to listen to "The colour of Magic" but couldn't keep up [...]
Some days you feel, you have to do nothing. Or at least, as close to nothing as possible. This weekend is just that kind of days. Yesterday, Saturday, was literally a sofa day. I did have help from the weather to do that. It was awful. The rain was pouring down bucket-wise, and it was [...]
A handful of the books on my virtual bookshelf... quite multifaceted... It's really awesome to be able to choose whether to listen to a book or read it. For the time being, I prefer to listen - you can be almost anywhere or do almost anything while listening - but you can't get them all [...]
Can't stop listening to Jacqueline Winspear's book about Maisie Dobbs. Sometime, months ago, I listened to the first two ones: "Maisie Doobs" and "Birds of a feather", liked them a lot but then I did other things, listened to other books - and then I forgot about Maisie! Until yesterday evening. I was looking for [...]
I confess! Haven't been reading much lately. Finished "Educated" by Tara Westower. Super-good! Finished "The Timetravelers Wife" by Audrey Nieffenegger. One of my favorites! Finished the Swedish Murder Mystery by Maria Lang - brilliant, and feels very modern though it was written in 1949. There weren't no computers nor any cell phones back then. That's [...]
Apropos Camp WriMo; as the text for today, instead of writing a new piece, I chose to add the very first one I wrote. The one I added to Diana's speculative writing prompt. The one that started this adventure. The Solar Eclipse. Why? Was I cheating, you think? Well, I don't think so! That text [...]
After having finished reading "Educated" by Tara Westover, I grabbed hold of an old favorite of mine: The Timetraveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger. It's one of these old stories. Boy meets Girl. They fall in love, get married, and then they live happily ever after. OR? There are some issues though, isn't there always? And [...]
At present, I'm listening to "Educated" written by Tara Westover. It's amazing! Memoirs are not my first choice of books to read, but if there are more of those like this one - I would for certain read more memories. Well-written, mindblowing, heartbreaking, mesmerizing, upsetting, interesting, agonizing, wonderful...... I just can't stop listening! During three [...]
... a fairy tale... is a fairy tale... is a fairy tale... Tuesdays and Thursdays forenoon, I usually spend a couple of hours at something called "Café Welcome". It´s not a cafeteria per se. People can't just drop in, buy themselves a cup of coffee, or a latte or something, sit there for a while [...]
