The Forgotten Home Child | Genevieve Graham

I finished re-reading The Forgotten Home Child just like I started - with a Dragonfruit drink. It is a beautiful day for some backyard reading.

Just about two weeks until some discussion points are posted about the book for #OhCanada. I do hope those who get the chance to read it are enjoying the book while learning a bit about Canada's history (that even as a Canadian I knew nothing about until this book). I will post discussions on July 1st.

kwmg40 I'm still waiting for this book at the library, so I will likely not be joining in the discussions immediately, but I hope to get to reading it eventually. 3d

Jess861 @kwmg40 Hope you're able to get your hands on a copy eventually. 3d

kwmg40 @Jess861 I expect I will before too long. I've not read anything by this author and would like to try one her books. 3d

A Wilder Way: How Gardens Grow Us | Poppy Okotcha

Starting my #HyggeHour early with Poppy, exploring Igbo creation stories. 😊

kspenmoll I have not found this book yet. 3d

AllDebooks @kspenmoll it isn't published in the States until the 29th June, which is why I offered an alternative

The Summer Book

AllDebooks @kspenmoll A wilder way is such a great book, Im reading it slowly to savour it. I've also offered to extend the #buddyread into July/August. 🌞 3d

kspenmoll @AllDebooks I decided to start in with Intro & then skip to June & follow the book monthly. From what you‘ve read is that a bad idea? 2d

AllDebooks @kspenmoll no, not at all. The way the chapters are presented means it could be read either way. 1d

The Summer Book | Tove Jansson, Thomas Teal, Kathryn Davis

Some morning reading with my tea on this cool and overcast day. I can relate to the cold of May mentioned in this book. We don‘t see any warmth until mid-July here.

BookmarkTavern A small group of individuals believing they‘ve been deprived of what‘s rightfully due them decide to put a puppet leader in charge to control, only to end up with a narcissistic, greedy, destructive force intent on sowing fear and chaos around him? Gee, I wonder how relevant that story could be? 😅😅 I can‘t believe this was written over thirty years ago. 2w

willaful @BookmarkTavern I know, Terry Pratchett wouldn't be surprised by anything.

I think I enjoyed this more than I remember doing so when I first read it. It was fun to see the Watch becoming a real force for good. 2w

julesG @BookmarkTavern 🤣🤣🤣 he nailed it. 2w

julesG @willaful I agree, I enjoyed it a lot more this time. Maybe because I'm older/wiser and have seen a few things happening. 2w

BarbaraJean This is my first time reading the Watch novels! Having seen Vimes (and the Watch) now in other novels, I was surprised to find him in the gutter at the beginning here! It was so fascinating to see the origins of characters I‘d enjoyed later glimpses of elsewhere. @BookmarkTavern 😂😂😭 2w

AlaMich The audio version of this has been so delightful!! It‘s adding considerably to my enjoyment. 2w

julesG @AlaMich Which version did you listen to? Stephen Briggs, Tony Robinson, or Jon Culshaw with Peter Serafinowicz and Bill Nighy? 2w

AlaMich @julesG The last one. I didn‘t realize there were three audio versions. 2w

BookmarkTavern @BarbaraJean Vimes‘s character arc is one of my all time favorites. 1w

julesG @AlaMich that's the one I haven't listened to yet. Stephen Briggs' narration is the 'original' one. The one with Culshaw is relatively new. 1w

AlaMich @julesG He‘s so good! 1w

kwmg40 I'm rather late to the discussion, but I did enjoy my reread of this book. I loved Errol the dragon! 5d

julesG @kwmg40 You can join at any time. Errol, eater of kettles. 🤣 5d

A Court of Silver Flames | Sarah J. Maas

And that, my friends, is the end!
I loved and hated Nesta. I wanted to throttle her so many times, but I enjoyed her character growth. And the ending, *tear*. I am really happy with how it ended.
