The Future | Naomi Alderman

pick

I liked The Power; I thought it was a clever idea, told simply (in a good way). Conversely, The Future, has a LOT of ideas and the narrative jumps about chronologically and also between characters.

There were also forum extracts that didn‘t work for me (badly formatted on the ARC) and a lot of comparisons with Lot in the Bible so I skipped those bits.

It sounds like I hated it, but I didn‘t; it‘s still a soft pick.

Caroline2 I really liked The Power too. I‘ll add this to my look-out-on-kindle-deal list 😂 13mo

BarbaraBB I hated the Power (but I enjoyed the tagged one)… not sure about reading this one after your review 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mildred Pierce

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘ve just started watching it at the suggestion of @Rebesta and it‘s soooo good!! http://youtu.be/ErPMW9QBUWs @AmyG 6y

inthegreensandblues I bought the book and am going to join in on this for the first time. I keep looking at the cover and thinking that is exactly the level of Cool Woman I want to be. 😎 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @inthegreensandblues yay!!! I‘m so happy you are going to join us!! She does look cool and I love her hair!! ❤️ 6y

AmyG Mildred Pierce...I‘ve seen the old movie and the one with Kate Winslet (I loved this one). 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @AmyG I‘m watching the new one with Kate Winslet! I can‘t read because I want to keep watching!! 6y

Rebesta Hey guys! I read Circling the Sun sometime last fall. I liked as much as The Paris Wife. It got me started on an Africa tangent that lasted a few months — everything from fiction to documentaries. I almost didn‘t buy it, but the manager at B&N talked me into it. I‘m glad she did. I‘ll try to make the discussion on Sunday. And I‘m glad @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks tagged me in this. If you get a chance to see/read Mildred Pierce, you should.

Mildred Pierce

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Rebesta I couldn‘t load the 3rd one last night on directv! I was so upset! Going to try again today! I really want the book now too!! I hope you can join us for discussion 🙌🏻🙌🏻 6y

Rebesta @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks - UGH! HBO and AT&T/DirecTV! My hubby and I just dropped them for Xfinity/Comcast a few weeks ago. All I remember is the frustration of trying to watch any HBO on demand programs. For some reason the menu wouldn‘t even show, and then the shows wouldn‘t load the few times it was there. I believe you can access HBO GO on one of your devices if you get too desperate. Much love! 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Rebesta thank you!! I‘ll try that! And I just replied to you “she will win an award for this!” I didn‘t know it was filmed in 2011 and that she DID win an award! I‘m so behind! I rarely watch tv or get on Facebook! Lol I read, Litsy and work!! 🤣🤣🤣 6y

Rebesta @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks - No worries! Sometimes I think the only good reason to work is for money to buy books. Have a great day! 😊 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Rebesta yes!! You too!! ☺️ 6y

Latest Readings | Clive James

I mostly failed this month... I swear I always lose steam partway through all the challenges 😧😧 Hopefully, #TheFuture finds some answers for me and I can get back on track with my goals to a healthier life. In the meantime though, I finished a lot more in July than in June. I finished 6 books, and will prob finish my audiobook at work tonight to make it 7. I'm about 1/4 of the way through one of my #NetGalley books & will hopefully finish soon

CarolynM I didn't do very well on the challenges this month either, I drew a blank many days. Hope we'll both feel more inspired for August. Loved your Prince theme, though. Thanks for hosting🌷 6y

vkois88 @CarolynM it happens to the best of us! 🤗🤗 Thank you again for participating, we loved seeing all your posts! ❤ 6y

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child | J. ROWLING

so-so

#PrinceOfJuly Day 31: Who would‘ve thought Harry Potter will have a #TheFuture element to it, with their children, and unforeseen twists. Reading the first few pages made me slip back comfortably into PotterLandia. If I can snuggle right into a book, I would have done so. Was I jarred by the play format of the book? Truth be told, I am just glad that there is another Harry Potter story to come home to. https://wp.me/pDlzr-dsT

vkois88 Same! I had this argument with someone recently who complained about it... and I told her we were lucky to have a glimpse into the wizard in world again. 6y
