I DNF‘d Glory Over Everything- unfortunately this stoops a bit into melodrammmma (mellow DRAHma?) and I just can‘t. Cannot continue with the “OMG! Should I tell my truth OH NO! What if my secret is exposed?! OH MY!!”
Just. Can. Not.
So I found THIS in my audio library and . . . TIM CURRY!! 💗 It‘s SO good!! 😆🤩🥸

Looking back to all that has occurred to me since that eventful day, I am scarcely able to believe in the reality of my adventures. They were truly so wonderful that even now I am bewildered when I think of them.

so-so🌟🌟being a huge fan of the old film, I think I like the ideas of Verne more than the actual books. This was a bit of a slog for me with unappealing characters.
pick9-15 Apr 23 (audiobook)
Wonderfully read and an intriguing idea - Alex and his uncle, Professor Lindenbrock, journey to Iceland to descend into the mouth of the volcano with an aim to reach the centre of the earth. On their way, they discover a hidden world of prehistoric creatures.
I never read any of Verne‘s books but Tim Curry‘s performance brought this to life. A weak pick and I do wonder if I would have enjoyed the text as much.
pickProfessor Otto Liedenbrock finds a message in a foreign language that he decodes. With the help of his nephew Axel he decodes the message. It translates to “Descend, bold traveler, into the crater of the jokul of Sneffels, which the shadow of Scartaris touches before the kalends of July, and you will attain the center of the earth; which I have done, Arne Saknussemm.”

“Our constant and successive descents had taken us quite thirty leagues into the interior of the earth, that is to say, that there were above us thirty leagues, nearly a hundred miles, of rocks, and oceans, and continents, and towns, to say nothing of living inhabitants.”

pickThough familiar with the story already, I listened to Tim Curry narrate this classic adventure and had so much fun listening!! For a book first published in 1864, it‘s still manages to inspire a great sense of wonder about the world. Maybe you can‘t cut through from beneath one volcano in Iceland to one in Italy in real life, but his idea of a hidden world has inspired so many other great novels! And the performance is second to none! Such fun!!

When I was a child, I read the Great Illustrated Classics (remember those?) version of “Journey to the Center of the Earth,” and I‘ve wanted to go to Iceland ever since!
#funfriYAY
so-soThis is my first book , read it back in sixth grade . Verne was so ahead of his time, the book holds so much adventure in it . It grabs the attention of readers in a unique way in each and every chapter..
I had much success yesterday op shopping! I wasn‘t going to go to this op shop but the yellow, dot dress in the window caught my eye and it fit! Afterwards I took myself out to the sushi train for lunch. They didn‘t have my sparkling sake but they did have green tea ice cream. No strawberries though. It‘s always a bit of a hit or miss. The food is always divine. The art works at the bottom are for #Litsylove and #JustBecause correspondence. $41
This is the volcano they go down into in Verne 's book. Last day in Iceland. What a fabulous week!
Looking back to all that has occurred to me since that eventful day, I am scarcely able to believe in the reality of my adventures.

pickThe characters are a bit one-dimensional, but the fast-paced story makes up for it. This is the book that inspired me as a youngster to learn more about Iceland (and eventually get into Icelandic mysteries once they became available).
Was feeling restless and unable to focus, so decided to pull a re-read off the pile. I‘ve had this Puffin Classics edition for about 25 years. Probably received it as a gift, after putting it on my Christmas list thanks to the Journey to the Centre of the Earth episode of Wishbone 🐶🐾🕵🏻📚

I listened to this audio today. I read it before in 2015 and I loved it once again as it was full of excitement and adventure, with slight hints of humor and slivers of suspense. Verne is so creative and imaginative, yet so descriptive, that you feel as if you are there with the trio as they make their journey. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves adventure.

pickI read Journey to the Center of the Earth as my #doublespin pick for March and also my classic adventure in my reading the classics challenge. I throughly enjoyed the adventure of the story maybe even better than Around the World in 80 days. If you are looking for a shorter classic to meet a challenge goal and like an adventure this would be an excellent choice.
A beautiful sunny day to read my #doublespin classic poolside. @TheAromaofBooks

pickA great classic of the Extraordinary Voyages adventure novels. Classic sci-fi from one of the fathers of the genre. If you love geology, geography, paleontology, or just adventurous travel, you will find joy in this book.

pickI loved this Audible audiobook. It‘s so good! Tim Curry read it so beautifully!
Visiting Snæfullsjökull next week, so I started rereading the paperback I've had since 1965. Went to look something up, and found that this was an inferior and abridged translation (left), in which the characters names had been changed, scenes left out, and other atrocities of literature. At long last reading the better translation (right) and enjoying it, which is as good as I'm going to get since my French isn't up to reading the original.

Getting back to this classic after taking a break to read a contemporary because I wanted to stay on track for the NEWTs. I‘m definitely enjoying it but it is a slow go at times.

I‘m in western Iceland and my view is Snaesfellsjokull, where you can jump in to the center of the earth, at least according to Jules Verne.
Started reading it today!
#BFC!!! I did not feel like walking today, and my arthritis was yelling at me the whole time, but I got my 30 minutes in, and I‘m almost finished with this book, which I am enjoying 😊🎧📚🏃🏼♀️💪🏻🎉
