Running in the Family | Michael Ondaatje

#maymoviemagic #dontstopmenow #howfarillgo
#twopromptsatonce 😂
“Don‘t stop me now I don‘t know how far I‘ll go” is the kind of thing Michael Ondaatje‘s father might have said when a croquet game went wrong and he started brandishing a gun. This memoir of Michael‘s childhood is full of anecdotes and tall tales - which he admits might have grown taller with telling over the years.

Centique @Cinfhen btw it‘s not my good memory with these backlisters- it‘s cos I went through my old shelves and library records a while ago and made a list 😋 5y

Cinfhen Hahaha!!! Thanks for setting the record straight 😘😘😘 5y

batsy Oh, good pick! I enjoyed this one a lot ❤️ 5y

RohitSawant Awesome multitasking! 🙌🏼 💜 This one sounds interesting. 5y

erzascarletbookgasm Great quote! 5y

LiterRohde @Cinfhen @Megabooks @rohit-sawant I don‘t think my name and affirmation have ever been used in the same sentence. I‘m usually the resident pessimist in the room. Too funny. 5y

Megabooks @LiterRohde I have a friend who calls herself a “hopeful cynic”. Perhaps?? 5y

LiterRohde @Megabooks Mayhaps. I long for the beauty of fireworks even though I know in the end they will blow up in my face. 🧨🤣🧨 5y

Megabooks @LiterRohde See, you‘re eloquent even when you aren‘t quoting someone else. My eloquence left the building when all the veterinarian stuff went it. It was, “Hey Meg, Do you want to know how to pronounce generic drugs, use a dental drill properly, and castrate multiple species? Well, BTW, you won‘t be able to write beautifully ever again.” 😂😂😢 5y

Before I Go | Colleen Oakley

#howfarillgo #maymoviemagic

Daisy is only in her 20s, but she has learned that her 2nd bout of cancer is terminal. She takes it upon herself to find a new wife for her husband before she dies.

This has been compared to PS I Love You, which is why I read it. I gave this one five stars, which speaks for itself.

Cinfhen, RohitSawant

Cinfhen It sounds REALLY sad. 2/4 sister in laws are breast cancer survivors, I don‘t think I could read this book. A bit too close to home 😔 5y

RohitSawant This sounds heartbreaking. Loved PS I Love You so stacking this. 5y

The Sea, The Sea | Iris Murdoch

#HowFarIllGo #MayMovieMadness
When the weekend ends, sometimes I have the odd fantasy of wanting to escape to some vague, lonely city by the sea, and just read for several days without interruption. I might be able to make some progress on my TBR then 🤔
Just placed a hold on the Olivia Laing, which sounds like an interesting reflection on her move to NYC and the loneliness she experienced there, along with an analysis of the same feelings in art.

readordierachel That sounds pretty perfect actually. Curious about the book! I'm reading Crudo right now and really enjoying it. 6y

RohitSawant Ha, sign me up for reading by vague, lonely city! 5y

Billypar @readordierachel Good to know about Crudo- Laing wasn't on my radar before, but I'm always happy to discover new authors. 5y

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry: A Novel | Rachel Joyce

Harold Fry was certainly prepared to walk a long way to try and see Miss Queenie Hennessy before she died.
A wonderful book!

Kaila-ann Very cute book. The counterpart was good as well

The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy: A Novel

Andrew65 @Kaila-ann Yes, I loved both of them. 6y

American Fire: Love, Arson, and Life in a Vanishing Land | Monica Hesse

#ThrowbackSaturday #HowFarIllGo #botmchallenge #MayMovieMagic

Oh, Emily, Steph, and Lauren, look what I checked out!! This one of my favorite nonfictions from 2017!

The prompt works because of how far we went reading all 60 #botm back then. It was fun. 😁👍🏻😁 Also, how far will these arsonists go! Six fires in one night with only volunteer fire departments. Just the whole story is crazy!

Cinfhen, L_auren, Reviewsbylola, emilyhaldi, RohitSawant

Reviewsbylola Tonya is one crazy bitch! 6y

Megabooks @Reviewsbylola if I could put a truth sticker here, I would! 6y

Cinfhen Was this one of your firsts?!?!!?? Such a crazy story 5y

See All 11 Comments

Megabooks @Cinfhen it was one of my first true crime books! 5y

emilyhaldi I still can‘t believe we were crazy enough to do that challenge 😜 5y

Megabooks @emilyhaldi Lol! I don‘t think I‘d do it again, but I‘m glad I did it once. Kinda like reaching the summit of Everest. 😂😂 5y

Megabooks @Reviewsbylola I had totally forgotten about the “club clothes” store she ran out Charlie‘s shop and that all she wore was panties and a bra to the bar one night!! 😳😳😳 5y

L_auren @Reviewsbylola LMAO 5y

L_auren @emilyhaldi @Megabooks @reviewsbylola I think that was the best year of books of BOTM thankfully!!! But never again! 5y

emilyhaldi So true!!! @L_auren this year or last, I probably would have had to quit the challenge based on the BOTM choices 😜 5y

Megabooks @L_auren @emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola 16-17 were definitely the best years. I stopped last year because a) the books sucked, and b) the bindings were super cheap! I‘m back to reading more ebooks now, so I don‘t think it‘s worth the expense, even though I like getting packages! 😉 5y

Griffin and Sabine, 25th Anniversary Limited Edition: An Extraordinary Correspondence (-25th Anniversary) | Nick Bantock

#MayMovieMagic

(Day 5 - #HowFarIllGo)

*Sabine will go a long way to finally meet her Griffin, perhaps as far as “the line where the sky meets the sea.”

Cinfhen, RohitSawant

marleed Oh my gosh, I‘m so obsessed with those books. I‘m missing the Alexandria one but I have all the others! 6y

gradcat @marleed They‘re very beautiful, aren‘t they? 🥰 6y

marleed It‘s such an intriguing way to read a series. Taking the letters out of the envelopes forces you to just sit and enjoy the process. 6y

gradcat I think you could read one in an hour...but the reread & review value is high! @marleed (edited) 5y
