There has not been enough hammock time this summer, but today I finally got a bit with Gandalf for company. I found this book an interesting examination of character and commentary on aging alone, but it was a rather slow and melancholy read for me. I was glad that it ended with a bit of hopefulness.

I read a few more pages of Quartet in Autumn today while filling the overhead bin (upper right photo) and found this unfamiliar word. Apparently, Marcia is having a tin of sardines originally for the cat.

pilchard: a small, edible, commercially valuable marine fish of the herring family

Ruthiella I feel like people ate weird food in the 1950s…particularly in Barbara Pym novels but also just generally. 😬 Lots of canned food and things in aspic. 5mo
rwmg Same species apparently, but if it's longer than 6 inches it's a pilchard, 6 inches or less then it's a sardine. 5mo
Tamra I have this one stacked and I‘ve only heard good things about it! 5mo
Daisey @Tamra This one is not as engaging to me as Excellent Women, but I‘m still appreciating Pym‘s description of character. 5mo
Tamra @Daisey I want to get to that one too! 5mo

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

I read about one-third of Out With the Tide (#18) and set it down. Meh. I may pick it up again in the near future. I'm about to start The Third Chapter (#4).

I've also read Nick of Time by Cathi Stoler. I'm also part way through Out of Time by the same author.

My school year is off to a good start. I'm already 3 books in on a 3 day rotation. The Library Dragon is still a favorite. I hope everyone is doing well. I've been too busy to enjoy much social media.

This was an interesting take on financial freedom and retirement. It made me think i‘m a lot of ways but it was also a little repetitive and longer than it needed to be and the narration felt uneven. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 1y
Julsmarshall @TheAromaofBooks I love kicking off the month with a short one! 1y

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

1. I wanted to be a nurse, writer, gymnast (!), actress, teacher, and more! At various times, not all at once.
2. I‘m retired, but I‘m still looking for my own vine and fig tree.
3. Lately I‘ve discovered the Celtic Woman Pandora station, which has a nice blend of Enya, Lorena McKennitt, and similar artists.
