My history-loving son has walking pneumonia, so I suggested we spend some time watching this book-adjacent series together while he waits for the antibiotics to do their work. He said, "Mom, that looks like the kind of show a middle-aged woman would watch."

I argued that, while I am, in fact, a middle-aged woman, that doesn't mean teenaged history buffs wouldn't like the show, too.

And then I left him to his Discord and his D&D YouTube videos.

Soubhiville 😆 kids. Hope he feels better soon. 1w
Bookwormjillk Ugh, my daughter has the same. Crazy illnesses going around this year. 1w
ImperfectCJ @Bookwormjillk Indeed! It's our first time dealing with this particular ailment, and I'm hoping his dad and I don't catch it. And that the pertussis test the doctor's office is running comes back negative. We've dealt with that before, and I did not like it at all. We're up to date on our boosters, so fingers crossed 🤞 I hope your daughter feels better quickly! 1w

Mother's Boy | Patrick Gale

Patrick Gale excels in beautifully understated writing with such kindness and gentleness. My heart broke for Charles through his unpopularity at school and awkwardness in life, whilst still being able to dislike his at times acerbic sharpness and intellectual superiority as he tries to find himself. My heart broke again for his mother as he pushes her away then yearns for her when sent to war. Despite some brutal elements this was a lovely read.

JillR @TrishB @squirrelbrain I had a read through some Litsy reviews once I‘d finished this and saw you‘d both enjoyed it too :) 10mo
squirrelbrain It was fabulous and unexpectedly so. 10mo

TrishB @MrsMalaprop it‘s stayed with me a long time! 10mo
JillR @trishb @MrsMalaprop I would say I‘ve read that one but the blurb rings no bells and my Goodreads list says not, so either it was before I started using Goodreads, or I haven‘t read it! Either way given I don‘t remember, that‘s a good reason to get it I think… 10mo
JillR @squirrelbrain thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish 10mo

Lazy days and nights of Twixmas. I'm spending much of my time by the fire. Tea in the mornings, whisky in the evenings and lots of books.

Tonight I finished reading Christmas with Rosamunde Pilcher. It begins with recollections on RP's Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary Party. Then it's Christmas traditions and recipes. Ends with a short story Miss Cameron at Christmas. Delightful.🥃📖🔥

LeahBergen I‘ve been meaning to buy this for years! 11mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig @LeahBergen it's worth it for the recipes alone. 11mo
LeahBergen Good to know! 👍 11mo

1. Tie between Jamaica Inn, very atmospheric Gothic romance/adventure/suspense by Grande Dame Daphne du Maurier
and
Spirits Abroad, short mythical/ghostly tales by Malaysian author Zen Cho. Blends contemporary & fantasy with a fresh viewpiont. So surprising, so good!
2. no clue. I'm really excited for the numbers of #Bookspin and #Doublespin to be revealed, as I have a few options for mood picks and Gothic reads on my list that I'm excited for!

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 🌞🎄📖📚 12mo
AmyG I am always excited for the Bookspin reveals, too. 12mo
TheAromaofBooks Thank you for the tag!! Can't believe it's almost time for 2023's last #BookSpin of the year! 😵 12mo

Zennor in Darkness | Helen Dunmore
post image

I was delighted to be invited by @shawnmooney to talk about Helen Dunmore's debut Zennor in Darkness on his Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@shawnthebookmaniac6275) this summer. The episode of Bite-Sized Book Chats that I appeared on dropped yesterday and you can watch that here: https://youtu.be/lDu_cUSDY44?si=8nfdoqxoXsrYkcaV. I start at about 7:22, but the whole episode is worth watching.

BarbaraBB Will definitely watch! 1y
dabbe Lovely. Or as Audrey Hepburn would say in MY FAIR LADY, “Loverly.“ 🧡 1y
shawnmooney I didn‘t see the notification for this until just now. Great! Looking forward to having you back on again! 1y
