Happy Saturday morning! I‘m starting a quiet Saturday morning with breakfast casserole and coffee while I catch up on the last few chapters of David Copperfield for October.

I have lots of things to work on at home today since I‘ve been gone the last few weekends, but I plan to listen to lots of audio and fit in some print reading for the Dewey‘s Readathon as well.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, Sir Orfeo | J. R. R. Tolkien

I finished rereading Sir Orfeo this morning with breakfast. I enjoyed this poem and as before I noted some similarities to the story of Aragorn as a king returning to his land as a man out of the wild and unrecognized.

JazzFeathers That's true! I hadn't thought of it. What l noticed was Tolkien obvious interest in the arc of temptation and fall. 1mo

Daisey @JazzFeathers Also an interesting observation. I find it so fascinating to read the things that influenced authors I love. It really adds a whole new layer to appreciating their work. 1mo

Daisey Also, to our fellow readers, we‘re planning to read Tolkien and the Great War next, if you want to start finding your book. 1mo

CatLass007 I have it! 1mo

wordslinger42 Do you have any thoughts on when we‘ll be starting Tolkien and the Great War? 1mo

Daisey @wordslinger42 Hopefully early in October since we‘re already past when we planned to have this one done. Sarah and I are both busy so keeping up and coming up with a new schedule has been a bit of a challenge. 1mo

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, Sir Orfeo | J. R. R. Tolkien

Good morning! Today we start our next Tolkien readalong. I‘m so looking forward to discussing these poetic translations with other readers. Additionally, I‘ve missed my Sunday morning breakfast with Tolkien time. I‘m reading this print copy and also downloaded an audio to listen as well.

Schedule:

AllDebooks I have this audiobook, too. 2mo

BethM I just finished todays- sometimes I‘m astounded by how much smarter people are than I am 😂 2mo

Blended | Sharon M. Draper

pick

I‘ve seen so many glowing reviews of this book, but I didn‘t get around to reading it myself until my niece (going into 6th grade) told me it was one of her favorites. I have to agree that it‘s a great story that deals with both very relatable and important but difficult topics in a clear way. I also loved the musical aspect (Izabella is a pianist) and the vocabulary that made its way in from class discussion.

Nebklvr It was very good 3mo

aly_the_bean I love that book! Would absolutely recommend. 3mo

Daisey @Nebklvr @aly_the_bean It really was great! So glad I finally picked it up. 3mo

Red Rising | Pierce Brown

Monday morning book & breakfast! My nephew has decided this series is his new favorite, so he said I had to start reading it. This first book has a bit of a slow start, but it‘s getting more interesting now.

TheBookHippie I love your bookmark! 5mo

Daisey @TheBookHippie These were a random back to school project one year. I collected all the tiny scraps from trimming around new poster pages, glued them on black, laminated the whole sheet, and then sliced it into bookmarks. 5mo

Complete Sherlock Holmes | Arthur Conan Doyle

Happy Saturday! This morning‘s book and breakfast includes catching up on this week‘s Sherlock Holmes story and probably listening ahead for next week. “The Adventure of the Engineer‘s Thumb” is not one of my favorites, but I am loving revisiting these stories each week.
