bcncookbookclub @Texreader OMG! Well-done! Most of the content in my blog is in Spanish, I hope it can help you! I'm trying to improve my conversation in English, so I took part in English-speaking groups here in Barcelona, even in an English choir! It helps me a lot, so I advise you do the same 😉 4d

This Side of Paradise | F Scott Fitzgerald

And he could not tell why the struggle was worth while, why he had determined to use to the utmost himself and his heritage from the personalities he had passed. . .
He stretched out his arms to the crystalline, radiant sky.
“I know myself,” he cried, “but that is all.”

Those who do not learn from history, are bound to repeat it!!

Thanks to @PathfinderNicole and @majkia among others for suggestion.

majkia I've got Bright Young Dead by Jessica Fellowes I'll try to get to. 3mo

Amiable And unfortunately too often those of us who do know history still have to repeat it because of the uneducated. 😖 3mo

dabbe Got the column created and the books listed above are on it! 🤩 3mo

Cuilin @AllDebooks agreed 👍 3mo

Cuilin @Mollyanna fabulous 👍 3mo

Cuilin @majkia fabulous 👍 3mo

julieclair Great theme! So many choices. I have updated the StoryGraph challenge, for those who are using it: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/f6f6ac21-909a-4d7e-9e1c-2084aab... 3mo

rwmg I have been reading Frances Brody's Kate Shackleton series set in 1920s Yorkshire, so I may read the next one:

A Snapshot of Murder: The tenth Kate Shackleton Murder Mystery

3mo

Cuilin @julieclair thanks I‘ve updated mine. 3mo

Cuilin @sblbooks sounds like a fabulous cozy read. 3mo

Cuilin @rwmg I love the sound of the series. 3mo

julieclair @rwmg Oh, I love the Kate Shackleton books, but haven‘t read any for awhile. Thanks for reminding me about them! 3mo

After The Scream: The Late Paintings of Edvard Munch | Elizabeth Prelinger, Edvard Munch, High Museum of Art

Pastel on canvas,from exhibit at the MOMA(2013)My son & his elementary school cases manager used to squeeze their cheeks & open their mouths wide in imitation of this painting. So we picked up the behavior at home & ran with it. 😂

Tale of Two Families | Dodie Smith

pick

This was fascinating and frustrating. I closed the cover and thought how much the book reminded me of themes in I Capture the Castle. Which, well—of course. It was also written by Dodie Smith. But I Capture the Castle is a beloved favorite for me, so why did I resonate with its themes and find similar themes absolutely frustrating when played out in the characters of Families? ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) This is an ensemble cast, with 6-8 core characters & alternating POVs, rather than the endearing single first-person narrator in Castle. And the characters in Families are a mix of young, middle-aged, and old. The theme of not knowing what you want can be compelling in a young character such as Cassandra—not so much in characters in their 40s and up. Ultimately, I loved the setting, but just didn‘t like the characters.⤵️ (edited) 5mo

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) It was interesting, it was well-done, but in the end, frustrating and unsatisfying. This was my 1970 pick for #192025 @Librarybelle 5mo

Tamra I think I Capture the Castle is so beloved it‘s going to be really tough to compete with. I‘ve read some others by Dodie and felt the same. (edited) 5mo

willaful I love several of her other books and was so excited when I moved away for college and found this in the library! (Back before she was digitized and reprinted.) And it was so disappointing! I've never bothered to reread it. 5mo

Librarybelle Great choice! 5mo

BarbaraJean @Tamra Oh, definitely! And I don't think I went into it thinking it would compete, but it was fascinating at the end to see so many parallels in themes between the stories, and have SUCH different reactions to each book. @willaful I didn't dislike it--it was super interesting to read--but it's definitely never going to be a favorite like I Capture the Castle! 5mo
