There has not been enough hammock time this summer, but today I finally got a bit with Gandalf for company. I found this book an interesting examination of character and commentary on aging alone, but it was a rather slow and melancholy read for me. I was glad that it ended with a bit of hopefulness.

I read a few more pages of Quartet in Autumn today while filling the overhead bin (upper right photo) and found this unfamiliar word. Apparently, Marcia is having a tin of sardines originally for the cat.

pilchard: a small, edible, commercially valuable marine fish of the herring family

Ruthiella I feel like people ate weird food in the 1950s…particularly in Barbara Pym novels but also just generally. 😬 Lots of canned food and things in aspic. 8mo
rwmg Same species apparently, but if it's longer than 6 inches it's a pilchard, 6 inches or less then it's a sardine. 8mo
Tamra I have this one stacked and I‘ve only heard good things about it! 8mo
Daisey @Tamra This one is not as engaging to me as Excellent Women, but I‘m still appreciating Pym‘s description of character. 8mo
Tamra @Daisey I want to get to that one too! 8mo

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

I read about one-third of Out With the Tide (#18) and set it down. Meh. I may pick it up again in the near future. I'm about to start The Third Chapter (#4).

I've also read Nick of Time by Cathi Stoler. I'm also part way through Out of Time by the same author.

My school year is off to a good start. I'm already 3 books in on a 3 day rotation. The Library Dragon is still a favorite. I hope everyone is doing well. I've been too busy to enjoy much social media.

This was an interesting take on financial freedom and retirement. It made me think i‘m a lot of ways but it was also a little repetitive and longer than it needed to be and the narration felt uneven. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 2y
Julsmarshall @TheAromaofBooks I love kicking off the month with a short one! 2y

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!
