repost for @PuddleJumper

#RealmofElderlings will be reading The Mad Ship during September and October. This is the second in the Liveship Traders trilogy

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book and I'm excited to get stuck into the second

How is everyone doing? It's a big change from the Farseer trilogy.

Persuasion | Jane Austen

LOVED it! Thank you @AvidReader25 for #BuddyRead -ing this with me. #Persuasion2025

The narration by Greta Scacchi is excellent, must be said.

AvidReader25 What did you think of Wentworth‘s letter?!?! 2d
BkClubCare @AvidReader25 - such passion! And courage - I loved Anne‘s reaction and how everyone thought she was ill and she couldn‘t get away to process. Plus, the assertion for both Captains to be sure to come to the “party” and they all thought she meant only to be polite to Harville. 😊 1d
AvidReader25 @BkClubCare Yes! And I love that we had a chance to actually see their conversation afterwards. I feel like that‘s so rarely happens in Austen. I love that they shared what they were feeling and how they were processing things and we saw the depth of their maturity, taking ownership of mistakes and assumptions they had made. 1d

Feel free to just jump in and out of discussion- i will try to post each weekend- but am completely ok with anyone posting their own questions too! Who is interested?

A Language of Limbs | Dylin Hardcastle

Thank you Barbara for my lovely gifts!

As you know, the tagged book has been on my radar for some time after all the Aussie Littens read it and raved about it!

And Slanting Towards The Sea is a fairly new addition to my wish list, having seen stellar reviews from @Jas16 @Lesliereadsalot .

I‘m looking forward to reading both at the same time/ similar time to you - maybe even a #buddyread at Gladstone‘s?!

Lesliereadsalot Two wonderful books! You will love them! 5d
youneverarrived These both sound fab! 5d
Jas16 So excited for you to read them both! 5d

TrishB Loved the tagged one! 5d
ChaoticMissAdventures I have been wanting to read Language of Limbs, I hear great things! 5d
LeeRHarry Can‘t wait for your thoughts on the tagged book! I really hope you love it. 😊 5d
BarbaraBB Happy I made the right choice but I was fairly sure this time! I‘d love to do a buddyread at Gladstone‘s 😘 5d
BarbaraBB @Lesliereadsalot I bought them both because of your reviews! Copies for myself too 🤪 5d
Lesliereadsalot @BarbaraBB I‘m still thinking about Language of Limbs weeks later. My favorite book of the year.. 4d
BarbaraBB @Lesliereadsalot That‘s quite the recommendation! I‘ll read it next month! 4d
squirrelbrain Wow, that is some recommendation! @Lesliereadsalot 4d
squirrelbrain I‘ll try not to read one or both of them before Gladstone‘s then! 😜 @BarbaraBB 4d
BarbaraBB Fun! Just adding to the anticipation of that weekend! 4d
Lesliereadsalot @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain OK you two! What‘s Gladstone‘s because I‘m jealous whatever it is! 4d
BarbaraBB It‘s a library annex hotel in Wales where some Littens spend a few days each September. Last year I went for the first time. It‘s great. It‘s reading all day in the most gorgeous surroundings and catching up likeminded bookish people. Am I forgetting something Helen? Anyway, you‘re very welcome to join us Leslie 😀 4d
squirrelbrain No you‘re not forgetting anything @BarbaraBB apart from perhaps cake! You‘d be more than welcome to to join us @Lesliereadsalot - there‘s 11 of us this year, from the UK, Germany, the US and of course B from The Netherlands. It‘s in a month‘s time so maybe a bit short notice this year, but we‘ve already booked our slot for next year! https://www.gladstoneslibrary.org/ (edited) 4d
Lesliereadsalot @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain Now I‘m really jealous! It sounds amazing. When are you going this year and next year? Is it Gladfest? 2d
squirrelbrain @Lesliereadsalot - it‘s Thursday 25th Sept until the Sunday. It‘s not actually Gladfest - we do our own thing. 😊 Next year will be roughly the same weekend. I hope you will think about coming! (edited) 2d
Lesliereadsalot @squirrelbrain Thanks for all the info on Gladstone‘s! I wish I could come this year, but I‘ll definitely try for next year. 🩷 2d

We are a little less than 1.5 weeks away from our next #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead discussion! I‘ve seen some positive reviews already from group members, so I hope this sparks some great discussion on the 31st.

As a heads up, our next book is Ragtime by E.L. Doctorow. I‘ll post the official graphic either today or tomorrow, when I have a free moment and remember (!), but wanted to make sure everyone was aware now.

Sargar114 I‘ve started the audiobook version. Not sure how I feel yet, but it‘ll be quick I imagine 7d
julieclair Starting this one tonight! And I'm excited about Ragtime. It's been on my TBR for years. 6d
