AllDebooks Thank god for you guys, this was a tough read 🫣 3w

TheAromaofBooks Verdant is going to give us all reading PTSD forever 😂 Thank you so much for hosting!! I didn't enjoy this one, but it was an interesting read, and I can see why it was so popular in its day. 3w

eeclayton TGIO! Thanks @barkingmadread and #hashtagbrigade I could never have done this without you! 3w

AnishaInkspill yeyyy, what a marathon. I didn't read this with you all and read it last year, and was really with you all, if its any cnsolation this took me months to read. 3w

kwmg40 I don't think I would have gotten through this without the #hashtagbrigade and your encouragement, @BarkingMadRead! It was a struggle but I'm glad I finished the book, if only to check another book off my #1001 list. 3w

Decline and Fall | Evelyn Waugh

This book made me chuckle several times. It‘s absurd and ridiculous and I love all the deadpan humor.
It‘s been a long time but I finally checked another #1001 from my list.

A Fine Balance | Rohinton Mistry

This was a hard book to get through the first time I'd read it and it was still hard this second time around, because of the emotions it puts its readers through. I feel emotionally wrung out, but it it really is a great story.

KadaGul @Ladygodiva7 I picked up this book 📚 from Library book 📚 sale 💰 but it was around the time ⏰ Kevin Spacey's Sexual Assault was published and that left a bad taste in my mouth and never got the courage to pick it up again. 13mo

Ladygodiva7 @KadaGul I got this at a library book sale too but I didn‘t know there was a movie. So I was safe lol 13mo

A reread of a classic by one of my favourite authors. Our book club at work is reading the Deptford trilogy together over the year.

I had the great fortune to attend one of Robertson Davies's readings many years ago, before he passed away.

rabbitprincess Wow! That reading must have been amazing. I should pull out Deptford this year… 2y

Librarybelle That‘s awesome you got to attend one of his presentations! 2y

CarolynM That would have been amazing! I found Deptfod a bit dark for my taste, but I loved the Cornish Trilogy, especially

What's Bred in the Bone

kwmg40 @rabbitprincess @Librarybelle @TheAromaofBooks @CarolynM Yes, I'm so glad I had that opportunity. I probably didn't appreciate it enough at the time. 😄 2y

kwmg40 @CarolynM I also love The Cornish Trilogy. What's Bred in the Bone is excellent, but The Rebel Angels remains my favourite. Parlabane is such a memorable character! 2y

Sapphire I am pretty sure I have this on my shelf somewhere. Will add it to the challenge to get me moving toward reading my own tomes too! 2y

kwmg40 @Sapphire I hope you enjoy it! As I'm sure you could tell by my comments, I'm a huge Robertson Davies fan. 2y
