Eggs

Oedipus Rex: Literary Touchstone Edition | Sophocles

Oedipus accidentally fulfilled a prophecy that he would end up killing his father and marrying his mother Jocasta, bringing disaster to his city and family. Atypical but nonetheless tragic thwarted love.

Romeo & Juliet | William Shakespeare

Romeo and Juliet are always my first thought for #starcrossedlovers!

#tropesinaugust

LeahBergen And the best ones (especially in Franco Zefferilli‘s version 😆). 4y

Ruthiella @LeahBergen I‘ve actually never seen it performed live or on film-unless you count West Side Story which I saw on TV when I was maybe 13 and I cried so hard at the end I became physically sick! 😭 4y

LeahBergen Oh, really?? Watch Zefferelli‘s 1968 movie. It‘s probably one of my all time faves. I watched IT on TV when I was probably 12 or 13, too, and SOBBED. It‘s perfection. 4y

Ruthiella @LeahBergen OK, I‘ll check it out. Hopefully I won‘t cry so much since I know what‘s coming? Maybe? 4y

LeahBergen I dunno. I still cry after ten (?) viewings. 😆😆 4y

Cathythoughts ❤️❤️💔 4y

batsy @LeahBergen I love that version! It's time for a rewatch 💔 4y

Klou Absolutely! I would've been surprised if no one chose this one. Perfect! 4y

Ruthiella @Klou It‘s classic! 😀 4y

I haven't made too much progress in any books I'm reading since I keep getting distracted. I loaded up my kindle though with some book loans from Libby to hopefully get out of the slump.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 😥😥 Have you read Behind Her Eyes, No Exit, or Behind Closed Doors? These helped me!! 5y

The Terra-Cotta Dog | Andrea Camilleri

While listening to this I wished I had the book to capture the author‘s writing & some of the descriptions of Sicily, its food, its cafes, its streets, its countryside, its characters. Thank you Diane @Crazeedi for introducing & encouraging me to read this series. I am in love!!! ❤️📚🥰

Crazeedi I listened to the first 17 and read the rest as physical books. I have to say I maybe agree with you somewhat, but I'm very glad I listened to some, because I hear the voices of the characters and the correct pronunciations . Both ways are great. I will eventually read this series again, and I never do that, but I just love it 5y

Crazeedi @andrew65 another one joins our group! @kspenmoll Andrew turned me on to this series!! 5y

Andrew65 I love it when others find this great series. Good for a translated book for any challenges too. Welcome to the fan club @kspenmoll @Crazeedi 5y

I should‘ve been off work an hour and a half ago, but today was brutal 😭 Not happy that I‘m working this weekend, but at least they‘re shorter shifts. Still gunning for 24 hours, but it‘ll be an absolute challenge.

Can‘t wait to get out of here, and get my headphones in. All I want to do is #GetMyBookOn! 😂🤣

Thanks again to the #24B4Monday crew for giving me a fun reason to ignore my studies for the weekend.😘
