It's been a good reading month. I wrapped up the Selection series, co-hosted a #Germinalalong with @BkClubCare and read the final book for my fiction Reading the States challenge!

BkClubCare Yay! (I can't get my vanillapen image to post... 🙁) 8y

Just started Part 4 of Germinal and Do You Hear the People Sing has been running in my mind on loop. Singing the song of angry men! #germinalalong

Today's #septphotochallenge #somethingforsept is focusing on #booksintranslation. Thus, I must share my current read being #readalong with @Avidreader25 @Lakesidemusing and @TriniCapini - am I missing any other Littens? My ebook is the Roger Pearson translation and my audiobook SADLY discloses NO information that I could find on who might have translated! But Leighton Pugh narrates... Does anyone know how to find? I checked production website.

BkClubCare #GerminalAlong Esther and Oscar assisting. Esther way more into it than Oscar, obviously. 8y
TriniCapini I love that we are called Littens. 😻 8y
Gulfsidemusing Love everything about this post... and SO frustrated (once again) that audible offers NO information on translations! 8y

Simona I like dog's hairstyle 😍 8y
BkClubCare @Simona - and that's just how they look. They are fuss-free. 8y
BkClubCare @Lakesidemusing - so, I tweeted at Audible and Naxos re: translator info. Audible passed and said they only provide information given so ... Waiting on Naxos. I thought abt asking Leighton Pugh but he isn't on Twitter. 8y
Gulfsidemusing @BkClubCare That was a good idea! Think I emailed them about that issue a year or so ago.... different book, same problem.😕 8y

"Everyone would end up at the Jolly Fellow... run by Widow Desire, a stout matron of fifty who was as round as a barrel but still so full of energy that she had six lovers, one for each day of the week, she used to say all six at once on Sundays!"
Ooooh, that Widow Desire!?. Thanks @BkClubCare #GerminalAlong

[DELETED] 2232195534 Wow! What energy! 😉😂 8y
BkClubCare And he mentions this "all six on Sundays" later in the book. She must have been based on a real person. 8y
Gulfsidemusing @kaysreadinglife I know, right?!😵😂 8y

Gulfsidemusing @BkClubCare I was wondering if that might be the case!! 8y
BkClubCare Did he write about her in any other of the books in the series? We need a Zola expert. 😂 8y

I am not at home to pull blue books off my shelves so wasn't sure what I could post today. But then I see the color of my shorts matches color of the Litsy tool bar, I have to take this shot. #somethingforsept #bluebooks #septphotochallenge #imonaboat #germinalalong
