Sovereign. C.J. Sansom (Revised) | C J Sansom

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

1. An all-day cold and gentle rain. Matt and I are in the den with the windows open (of course zero rain would come inside). A warm fire would be blazing while we cozily sit on our wrap-around couch with our two GSD's, Kate & Pip on the couch with us. We'd be drinking hot-buttered rum and would be snuggled under fuzzy blankets. #sigh
2. I'm looking forward to finishing SOVEREIGN with the #ShardlakeSeriesBR.

The Charioteer: A Novel | Mary Renault

Just another reminder that I have been wanting to read Renault‘s *The King Must Die*

Updated: this is a passage from WE COULD BE SO GOOD by Cat Sebastian which I should probably have tagged instead. #sigh

ChaoticMissAdventures @BkClubCare it has some drawings at the section breaks! Unfortunately the writing isn't meshing with me at all. 3mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks ohh these sound great! 3mo

BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - oh darn. My current audiobook is (ahem) below my favorite reading level, methinks. Weighing the decision to bail or not. #sigh 3mo

The Boxcar Children | Gertrude Chandler Warner

I‘m just recently grasping that 100 years ago is in the 1900s and not 1800s. #pub100yearsago #aboutabook

Eggs, Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

BkClubCare Ha! I keep catching myself thinking that 1985 was just a decade ago #sigh 3mo

Eggs Well done 👍🏼 ‘…days are long, but the years are short…‘ or is it the other way round?? 3mo

Poor Deer: A Novel | Claire Oshetsky

Nomination for #CampLitsy2024, one of four. @Megabooks @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain

Background photo is my newly planted Rhubarb. FYI Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day is June 9 🌟🍓🥧

Chelsea.Poole I almost added this to my nominations! And—I have rhubarb too! 😊 7mo

squirrelbrain Ooh, this was rumoured for the #womensprize… 🤔 7mo

BarbaraBB This sounds good!! 7mo

BkClubCare @Chelsea.Poole - one of these times, my rhubarb plants will survive long enough to harvest. They keep dying, we keep trying it in new spots of the garden #sigh 🌱 7mo

BkClubCare @squirrelbrain - was it? I haven‘t given much attention to that this year. I love the author‘s reviews on gr. 7mo

BkClubCare @BarbaraBB - HIGHLY anticipated read for me, I know I will read it anyway, if it isn‘t selected for camp. 7mo

Megabooks I've almost checked out this audiobook twice! 7mo

BkClubCare @Megabooks - I hope to do the ebook so that I can easily capture bits and bites. I love a good audiobook, too but want to preserve my reactions. (edited) 7mo

Happiness Falls: A Novel | Angie Kim

Trying valiantly to get into this. I have been on page 16 for days and days. #sigh

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Permission to bail! Don‘t let it put you in a book slump. 9mo

AmyG Yeah, alot of non-essential minutiae for my taste. #hailthebail 9mo

CBee I think pup agrees, you should bail 😂 9mo

See All 21 Comments

fredthemoose The beginning and end dragged for me, but I found the middle 70-80% pretty good. But by all means, if you‘re feeling the bail, go with it! 9mo

Tamra Yes, too many digressions. I held out only to solve the mystery. I did like the nonverbal character storyline in the end. 9mo

Tamra I can tell you how it ends in a separate hidden comment if you decide to bail. 9mo

dabbe 🖤🐾🖤 9mo

dabbe #hailthebail! 🤩🤩🤩 9mo

Deblovestoread I finished but can‘t say it was worth the effort🤷🏻‍♀️ 9mo

cariashley This one fell totally flat for me, so can‘t tell you it‘ll get better. 9mo

BkClubCare @cariashley - wow! Thanks ☺️ 9mo

BkClubCare @Tamra - interesting; I just might have to go search for a spoileriffic review 🤣 9mo

BkClubCare @Deblovestoread - good enough for me! Ty 9mo

BkClubCare @dabbe 😍😍😍 9mo

BkClubCare @Tamra - ack! Hadn‘t read both your comments 🤦🏻‍♀️ Sure! Bring it. You‘ll be doing me a favor. I owe you 🥰 9mo

BkClubCare @fredthemoose - I appreciate the support. 🤗 9mo

BkClubCare @AmyG - it‘s been 20 pages and we are still circling the issue! Dad is gone - let‘s DO something already 9mo

BkClubCare @CBee - Copper wants to got for a walk already. 🐕 9mo

BkClubCare @thegirlwiththelibrarybag - THANK YOU 👏 9mo

Tamra @BkClubCare presumably the father falls off a ledge into the river in a park saving his son from falling first. That is presumed to be the case because that is what the son communicates via a letter board, but it‘s ultimately left as somewhat of a question. The son was under suspicion by the law for a time. Unbeknownst to the family, the father & son were working with a legit therapist who specialized in spelling boards for nonverbal individuals. 9mo

BkClubCare @Tamra 👍 9mo

AvidReader25 @BkClubCare Ross Gay is an Indiana gem! I have read Beach Music (Conroy, right?). 9mo

BkClubCare @AvidReader25 - yep. I need to read it. 9mo

CatLass007 I‘m still wondering what is going on and what‘s next. When will something actually happen? I‘m going to allow #thebros chapters 7 and 8 of this section, and I will decide on Sunday if I want to continue. 10mo

Bookwormjillk Today‘s chapter was much better than yesterday‘s but I‘m confused why they needed to air all this dirty laundry in front of a bunch of random monks and an elder. 10mo

Ruthiella @IndoorDame 🤣 @Bookwormjillk I‘m confused too. Was the Elder supposed to referee or adjudicate? If so, what is the significance of his actions, kneeling before Dimitry? 10mo

5feet.of.fury Who else googled “anthropophagy”? Or was that not in everyone‘s translation 😂 10mo

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury either that wasn‘t in my translation or I glazed over it somehow 10mo

5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead there‘s a lot to glaze over in this argument between Ivan & Dmitri. I think I‘ve given up on understanding the subtext & tried to settle for just understanding the individual words 😂 10mo

mcctrish @IndoorDame this chapter was absolutely high court drama aka Judge Judy and yes @5feet.of.fury I did 😳 Fyodor is a piece of work imo #potcallingthekettleblack 10mo

IndoorDame @5feet.of.fury I did 😬 there are some words I didn‘t need to know we had in English 10mo

Ruthiella @5feet.of.fury I googled anthropophagy too! I assume it was ancestors worship and was startled to find it meant cannibalism .😱🤢 10mo

currentlyreadinginCO @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣 10mo

Cuilin @IndoorDame @mctrish I also got Jerry Springer vibes! Lol 10mo

IndoorDame @Cuilin hahaha 💯! 10mo

The Guest: A Novel | Emma Cline

Started the audio of this but am ready to DNF. First, tho, I will skip and listen to the end. THEN make my decision. Seems like this is one that you can sample, read some positive reviews and some negative reviews, and feel like it was adequately sampled. GOOD ENOUGH.

Copper being startled by the vet cat.

I didn‘t get the job I was hoping for. #sigh 😔

Megabooks This got 1⭐️ from me. 👎🏻 12mo

MicheleinPhilly The ending will make this an easy decision for you! 12mo

dabbe I'm sorry to read about the job. Hopefully a better opportunity will come along soon. 🩵❄️🩵 12mo

Ruthiella Sorry about the job. I can‘t believe that cat is just at large at the vet? My cat would try to hightail it outta there were he not in a crate! 😹 12mo

Suet624 I‘m sorry about your job. 12mo

Susanita I‘m sorry about the job. 12mo

Hooked_on_books I really hated this book. You‘re not missing anything if you bail. 12mo

Jas16 I hope something even better is around the corner for you. 12mo

bthegood I hope you find something soon that you will enjoy - 🙂 12mo

BkClubCare @Ruthiella - the place has 4 cats that roam around! And there is often a stray that waits at the front trying to get inside! 12mo

The Family Fang: A Novel | Kevin Wilson

What to do when you finish ALL your Currently-Readings and you have no clue what to read next?! I panic 🤣😳

So, I end up choosing Meryl Streep‘s narration of newly released Tom Lake and then THIS because it was ready to borrow and I assume it will be quick (no time to change my mind and dither on what I *should* be reading #sigh)

Even better when I see my beloved Ann P has endorsed The Family Fang when I try to find exact book cover for gr…

BkClubCare Of course… gr doesn‘t have this cover for the eBook. 😡 and OF COURSE I have no interest in my current book club selection due Tuesday. 1y
