Boy, was it a bit chilly this morning! When I went to walk, it was technically 40°, which I can do with a light jacket; however, the “feels like” temp was 29°, so I had to layer a bit AND wear a jacket and a hat. The characters in this book are just making me so sad for them all. #audiowalk
Today‘s audio walk. Its supposed to be freezing next week, getting outside while the cold is manageable!
#Audiowalk
I‘m enjoying this book, but I sometimes get a little lost for a minute with the jumps in time. We are supposed to get a lot of rain tomorrow and then snow, so I‘m trying to get in my #audiowalk while I can!
pickApparently my complaint about the #ClassicLSFBC books is always going to be the lack of imagination regarding race, sex, and gender roles. Here it‘s mired in the 1950s; Bradbury can‘t even imagine that Martian society might be set up differently. Some stories (Night Meeting) are beautiful, while others (Way in the Middle of the Air) are deeply disturbing. Bradbury‘s writing style is interesting — it‘s suggestive of constant movement. #audiowalk
This book is very different from what I thought it would be; it‘s more a series of interconnected stories than a novel. I‘m enjoying it so far. #ClassicLSFBC #audiowalk
pickWhile I did end up liking this — I liked Star and was pushing for her to get a life separate from her sister — the ending felt a little anticlimactic. I had a picture in my head of Jamie Gertz, who played Star in The Lost Boys. I also started The Martian Chronicles for #ClassicLSFBC for my new #audiowalk book.
I have about 3 hours left in this, so I should finish it soon. It ended up not being boring at all. I was afraid twisting my knee was going to set me back a lot, but my physical therapy went well yesterday and I had a good, long #audiowalk today with no pain.
My knee allowed me to walk today but for a shorter distance than usual. I actually had to wear a coat today as it was in the high 20s. I‘m interested to see how Star‘s and Flora‘s stories converge. #audiowalk
That‘s the thing about dual timeline stories— just when you get really interested in one timeline, the narrative switches to the other. Oh well, I can deal with it. This is the perfect weather for me — sunny, nice breeze, low of 40° and high of 66°. #audiowalk
Well, for a whole chapter Star has managed to live her life a little separate from CeCe. I hope that bodes well for the rest of the book. #audiowalk
