Book 7
I really like Hemingway, but this book (for me at least) gets less interesting in the 2nd half, particularly the trout fishing short story.

“If I can‘t have long hair or any fun, I can have a cat.”
I‘m working on a Hemingway audiobook right now for work (much of it difficult to read honestly) but this made me laugh.
I finally watched the first episode of the Ken Burns Hemingway Doc last night. Young Hemingway was definitely a heartbreaker and handsome before his infamous mustache addition. I‘ve only read his short stories and The Old Man and the Sea. Now I am really feeling the need to read his longer novels. #kenburns #documentary @Kimberlone
I love charm beads almost as much as books. This stack of sterling silver books is brand new and available on November 27th from http://www.ohmbeads.com.tw/library.html in case anyone has a book lover to shop for ( Jon Snow knows some things now that he‘s started reading )
#SummersEndReadathon. I'm well on my way with the readathon. Started and finished Hemingway's In Our Time. Finished Of Books and Bagpipes by Paige Shelton. And am listening to Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman.

Thank you @Ddzmini !!! I can‘t wait to read your recommendation “In Our Time”; it will be protected in the booksleeve! I‘ve been wanting to read “Lost in a Book”, my fav fairy tale; and Kidnapped, huge fan of Stevenson and classics! Some chocolate is already consumed and the tea went to work! The oldbook tote will graciously hold my purchases!
Confession: I love the bachelor/bachelorette tv show! I know it problematic but I‘ve been watching it for almost the beginning since I was really young and I just can‘t get enough! But I‘m reading during the commercial breaks!!
Post family gathering, post clean up, I‘ve snuck away to try to read with the last minutes of daylight!
A wonderful selection of short stories. Even better it is narrated by Stacy Keach! #LitsyClassicsA-Z challenge Letter I
Some of the stories were thought provoking, but just as many did not hold my interest.

So my sister went to Cuba this week. And because i couldn't join her she did something she knew i would of died to do: she visit Ernest Hemingway's house and took loads of pics!!!! As soon as i got them i told her i have to share this with the #litsyfamily
I miss having tons of #reading time. Since starting my Masters my free time basically disappeared! And although I'm majoring in literature, it's not the same reading something just for cheer pleasure than for school work. That,while working a full time job ( which I'm very thankful for!) is not easy. Rant over.
Book 2 for #24in48, our Classics in Brief book club selection for this month. Here are my survey answers, done in @thebookmagpie style 😎
First #24in48 book down--the next pick for the @RoscoeBooks classics book club. I've always been a Hemingway fan and this short story collection is no exception! A quick read and a great set of short stories. #readathon
