The Book Lover's Almanac

The Book Lover's Almanac: A Year of Literary Events, Letters, Scandals and Plot Twists | Alex Johnson

One Brontë was definitely not a fan of Austen

Bookwomble Based on the initial 20 pages of P&P that I was able to force myself through before I threw it down in disgust (by which I mean, carefully closed it and replaced the book gently on the shelf!), I'm in agreement with Charlotte on this one 😏 2w

AnneCecilie @Bookwomble I‘ve read P&P 3 times, and the same goes for her other novels and am reading S&S for the 4th time now. I‘m a huge fan 2w

Bookwomble @AnneCecilie This is why there's more than one book - we readers like different things! 😁 I've determined to give P&P another try at some point, as I had picked it up rather casually rather than being in a specific mood to engage with it. I might become a convert yet! 2w

AnneCecilie @Bookwomble I‘m know and that‘s the great thing about books, there‘s something for anyone. I read P&P for the first time after watching the BBC series in the mid-90s and I loved the series so was probably inclined to love the book as well. 2w

Bookwomble @AnneCecilie Perhaps it's weird, but I do like the TV adaptations, and that was a good one 😊 2w

CaramelLunacy Clearly not! This always puts me in mind of the Dude-watching with the Brontes comic.. 2w

Ready to start my two year-long reads

Year of Wonder is a reread/ relisten and I hope to do better than last time where I ended up listen to 20 pieces at a time to catch up.

I‘m looking forward to all the bookish fun facts in The Booklover‘s Almanac

Lcsmcat My husband and I (both musicians) are going to try to do Year of Wonder together this year. I‘ll be interested in sharing thoughts/reactions with you. 4w

AnneCecilie @Lcsmcat I‘m up for that, just keep in mind that I‘m no musician. I grew up listening to the New Year‘s Concert from Vienna. This book showed up on SavidgeReads YouTube channel a few years ago, so I wanted to give it a go. 4w

Lcsmcat @AnneCecilie You don‘t have to be classically trained to appreciate good music, and starting the year with the Bach b minor gives me great hopes for this. 😀 4w

AnneCecilie @Lcsmcat I listened to this 2 yrs ago as well and remember enjoying a lot of these, but off course with 366 pieces there will be som you don‘t like. 4w

Lcsmcat @AnneCecilie We couldn‘t stop with the Sanctus this morning, so we‘re listening to the whole mass. 😀 We won‘t be able to do that on work days, but today we can indulge. 4w
