Auld Lang Syne
Auld Lang Syne: My Indian Friends | F. Max Mller
14 posts
Excerpt from Auld Lang Syne: My Indian Friends Here follows the second volume of my Auld Lang Syne. In some cases my recollections go back very far, and, after a lapse of nearly seventy years, they may not always be so fresh as they ought to be. It is very strange, on looking back to the various stations through which we have passed in our journey through this life, to find how much our own fate has depended on our surroundings and on circumstances over which we ourselves could not possibly have had any control. Our friends, nay even our enemies, seem to form part of our life, and thus it has come to pass that instead of writing my own life, I have almost unconsciously come to write about my friends rather than about myself As to enemies, if indeed I ever had any, I prefer to be silent, for it is difficult to be quite fair in speaking of them, and we seldom know, till it is too late, what real benefactors they have been to us.

Every year this is my favorite event! It‘s always the thing I most look forward to in January. I inevitably find some amazing books that end up being favorites for the year. 3 titles from @Karisimo ‘s #auldlangspine list made it on my list of 2024 favorites (and a few more were close contenders)

@monalyisha is an expert matchmaker. If you haven‘t participated yet be sure to check out her post for all the info

Karisimo Yay! So fun to see titles get passed down! 2mo

@CBee This list is fantastic! I got lucky again this year. I‘ve read Signal Fires and Clover and I enjoyed them and if I had listed 20 they probably would have made my list too. I bailed on Bandit Queens. 😫 I will probably read the rest of your list throughout the year. I‘ll start with what I can get from my library and my TBR shelves.

I love your #AuldLangSpine list @KadaGul !
I‘ve read Guernsey & Runaway Groomsman as well as several books by the authors you chose at the bottom.
I‘ll be putting my reading list together as I set up my January #BookSpinBingo list. I‘ll post my #AuldLangSpine TBR as well as the book I plan on reading first in the coming days.
#ALSpine

KadaGul @Read4life I'm glad 🙂 we got matched. It seems like both of us like Contemporary Romances. I'll be posting a little Intro and list soon 🔜. Let me know which one you used to put together the Book collage. #AuldLangSpine @monalyisha 13mo
Read4life @KadaGul Me, too! I used pic collage. I can‘t wait to see your Intro 🤓 13mo
