#5JoysFriday
1. I‘m at the soccer game right now with my lovelies
2. Got a cool garden spinner on clearance. Been wanting one of these!
3. Made a mango strawberry smoothie for lunch
4. Going to Orla Gartland at the Fonda tomorrow with my daughter
5. Tagged book is hilarious! I couldn‘t sleep last night and I was reading it, but I laughed so hard I thought I‘d wake my husband 😂
pickThis is the second book in the Corfu Trilogy.
We meet the Durrell‘s again with their old and new friends.
From what I got from the dialogue at the beginning, which is hilarious by the way, this book is taking place at the same time as the first one, but includes stories Gerald forget to tell in the first book. The same hilarious writing as in the first one.
Some of the olive trees had been producing crops like this for five hundred years, and for five hundred years the peasants had been gathering the olives in precisely the same way.
(I had no idea that olive trees could get this old.)
pickOkay, this second book in the Corfu trilogy may have even been better than the first. I love these stories about animals and this hilarious family all living on the island of Corfu. I‘ll definitely be reading the third book as soon as I can get my hands on a copy! So delightful!
pickHo letto questo libro molti anni fa. Ma ne serbo un ricordo leggero e divertente. È stato un ottimo compagno! #animali #natura #vicendefamiliari
pickThis book was very enjoyable to read. It is a memoir of Gerald Durrell, who was a famous advocate for nature and animals of all sorts. Very humorous in parts, poignant and sad in others. A fascinating read for those who are enjoying the Masterpiece series based on the book. 4 1/2 🌟
My view atm reading. This book is based on the bbc drama “My Year in Corfu”. Excellent book that I am enjoying very much!
Weekend TBR: I've been a little distracted these past few weeks. But, I plan to finish this one for book group on the plane to the mainland. Aloha Friday 🌅🌺😎
#Bookmail ! I loved My Family and Other Animals so much that I ordered an old edition of the second in The Corfu Trilogy.
Inspired by tonight's episode, I scavenged through the basement to find books two and three of the series. (I read the first--My Family and Other Mammals--many years ago.). Best yet is the inscription in Fauna and Family: Mom, Since I'm so fauna you, I thought I'd give you this. Love, Tom. Christmas 1979.
