YouGiveMeSomething

The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio: Faithfully Translated by J. M. Rigg, with Illus. by Louis Chalon | Giovanni Boccaccio

#MayMovieMagic

(Day 27 - #YouGiveMeSomething)

*If it‘s the 14th century, perhaps you give me the plague, better known back then as “Black Death.” Giovanni Boccaccio wrote these (100) novellas just after the epidemic. “The Decameron” is a frame story filled with tales told by a group of young people who take shelter outside of the city (Florence) in order to avoid contracting the disease. I‘m sure most of you read it for some class or other. 😊

Cinfhen I think I was assigned this at one point but im pretty sure I never read it 😂 5y

RohitSawant Added this to my TBR years ago, and I have a feeling it'll stay there for quite some time 😆 5y

gradcat @Cinfhen @rohit-sawant They‘re not bad stories, but sometimes (read now), one wants to read contemporary language! 😂 5y

It's a while since I posted about this series! Severus doesn't get to apologise to Lily & so doesn't get chance to confess his feelings towards her.

🎶 Cause someday I might call you from my heart,
But it might be a second too late,
And the words I could never say
Gonna come out anyway. 🎶

RohitSawant Seeing the number of unread books I almost wish they didn't add the filter as much as I'm pleased by it 😆 5y

For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away.

I was setting up a photo of the tagged book which I thought matched the lyrics of today‘s challenge. Then I decided to GiveYouSomething as an alternate take on this book‘s title. It‘s a snapshot from my son‘s video of the 2017 total eclipse of the sun.
