Thinking of all the #randomclassics readers while in Savannah this week. Can you imagine paying $225 for Puck? 🤣 @TheAromaofBooks

Apparently this book bored me so much that I spaced on posting the final discussion post for #RandomClassics 😂This was a borderline pan for me. I did enjoy a couple of the chapters more than others, but overall this book just absolutely dragged for me. Partially, I felt like I needed more background on Britain's older history - I'm fuzzy on when the Romans showed up and what they did, so I got somewhat lost at times. I also just couldn't figure⬇
I need to just go ahead and finish this book because I feel like I've been reading it forever 😂 I did find “Hal o' the Draft“ SLIGHTLY less boring than all the Roman “we're sitting about on a wall while other people fight battles other places“ bits haha But this book is nooooot for me and like @TheBookHippie I will NOT be picking up Puck #2!!!
Only two chapters left!!!!

Hmmm. More history. It's not... terrible?? But it's not very exciting and it's not what I expected haha I'm pretty much dragging my way through this one. Are any of you enjoying it more than me? Any thoughts? I'm mostly being reminded of how little I know about “ancient“ British history 😂

Okay, is it me or is this book BORING?? 😂 I mean, it's okay, I guess, but I have definitely been more plowing my way through than particularly looking forward to picking this book up. Would it be more interesting if I was more familiar with British history?? Let me know if any of you are enjoying this more than me haha

Okay #RandomClassics friends, here is the schedule for Puck of Pook's Hill!! It seems that this is a collection of short stories and poems. So the main title for each bullet point is the story, and the parenthetical titles are the associated poems. Each story is about 25-30pgs, so 2-3 a week feels doable. We'll see how it goes!!!

June's book is Puck of Pook's Hill, which should, if nothing else, be a contrast to East of Eden 😂 I have several of Kipling's books on my list because I enjoyed the two Jungle Books and Just So stories so much, but I don't really know anything about this one. I don't have my copy yet, so I'm not sure how many chapters there are, either!! If anyone would like to read along, let me know!!

This is my husband‘s book, a gift from me. I have not read it, but when I saw the sailing ship I was certain there must be a #swashbuckler aboard! As I perused the pages, there was mention of Kings and England and shields and swords. I believe a swashbuckler must have a sword!
