The Weirdstone of Brisingamen | Alan Garner

#Underarock #Nofemmeber
Last one tonight, then i will probably forget to post for a week.
Alderley edge is a beautiful part of Cheshire and a favourite place for a family picnic (hence photo from dtrs bday) but it is a place of legend and in this wonderful book the children go under the rocks where they meet some nasty supernatural beings, and of course the legend of Arthur unde the rock is referencd.

Oryx Alderley Edge is such a gorgeous spot! And it definitely feels like a place of legend. 5y

Billypar Love the picture! Hopefully your picnics haven't been spoiled by any strange creatures 😨 5y

saresmoore Lovely photo! Is the nosey pup supernatural or just a family pet? 5y

DAY 16: Unless you‘ve been living #underarock, you know the final season of GoT *finally* begins in April!! I haven‘t read this series, but my husband has, and he‘s the reason we started watching. 🖤

🗡 Who will end up on the Iron Throne? Any theories?

slategreyskies I‘ve been living under a rock! I‘ve never read the books, and I haven‘t seen any of the TV show either. Am I missing out? 5y

britt_brooke @slategreyskies I‘m not usually one for high fantasy, but after watching the very first episode, I was hooked. It‘s really fantastic. 5y

slategreyskies I‘ll add it to my (very long) list of TV shows to try someday then! I don‘t watch much TV, but I know my husband has watched some of GoT and has really enjoyed it. Maybe if he‘s not too far along, I can catch up & watch it with him. :) 5y

britt_brooke @slategreyskies 👍🏻 We don‘t watch much TV either these days. It‘s hard with small kids. So many things are not appropriate for them and by the time they go to bed, I‘m too tired to watch anything. 😆 (edited) 5y

saresmoore Rock dweller, here! I read half of the first book and loathed it so intensely that I won‘t even try the show. Ha! 5y

britt_brooke @saresmoore 😆 I know I‘d hate the books, too. My husband liked them but says the show is better because it reins in the wandering story lines. 5y

saresmoore Well, that‘s good because 🙄. I believe that the show is incredible, though. He does some excellent world-building in spite of the brutally meandering character tropes. And I think unlikeable characters are often much more fun to watch than to read about, even when they‘re being tortured for PAGES. 5y

KatieDid927 I love the books so much I can‘t watch the show. The characters aren‘t even the same people. 5y

CrowCAH I AM SUPER EXCITED!!! 😍 I‘m rooting for Jon Snow ❄️ 5y

britt_brooke @KatieDid927 That‘s so frustrating! Since I didn‘t read the books, I don‘t have that comparison .... but that‘s why I usually skip adaptations of books I love, too. 5y

britt_brooke @CrowCAH I‘d be completely happy with him, too! I‘m worried that somebody I hate will prevail though. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I know! And the books are so far behind now, but if I had to guess...well....I‘m rooting for a royal couple on the throne, a new dragon rider, and with maybe a royal heir on the way. 😉 5y

LaLecture I‘ve tried reading the first book twice but it‘s so frustrating to know all the people I like will die and many of the ones I hate will live far too long 😅😂. Also I know most of the plot because my little brother summarised the show for me 🙄. Though I bet the books give much more detailed information on everything. I won‘t watch the show, I think. Too much violence for me. I still have theories though, I‘ll put them behind spoilers. 5y

LaLecture I actually don‘t think Jon will end up on the Iron Throne. I don‘t think he has any “rightful claims”, even after what we learned in the last season. The family lost their claims long ago, that‘s how a monarchy works :D. You kill the old king and install your family as the new royal family. And I don‘t think Jon is the type to fight for a throne. I don‘t think he wants to be a leader. He has bad experiences 😂. (edited) 5y

LaLecture I think Dany might make it. However that might be a bit too easy as that is what she is fighting for the whole time. She might just die, that would at least be unexpected :D. I just hope they won‘t make a weird Dany&Jon love story out of it where they happily reign together. Far too cheesy (and problematic..). I would like Tyrion, he would be a fun king xD. Anyone, just finally kill of Cersei! If I knew she died I might start watching the show ^^. (edited) 5y

shutterbug_mama Greatest show ever! At first I thought there‘s no way I‘d like it, with all the violence, but man, it is so good! I‘ve only read 2 of the books and I do plan to read them all. I read the first book twice already. 5y

Velvetfur I live for GoT and am avidly avoiding anything even resembling a spoiler, which I didn't do with the other series! 5y

Billypar Yep, I'm stuck under a rock for this one 🙋 I saw most of the first season- have always been vaguely intending to watch more. Wouldn't have the patience for the books though! 5y

britt_brooke @LaLecture Everything you said makes sense! I really hope they don‘t do the cheesy thing with Dany and Jon. I think one - or both - of them will die by the end. I love Tyrion the most. I have no idea what will happen, but I‘m excited to find out! (edited) 5y

britt_brooke @Billypar I definitely don‘t have the patience for the books, but the show is fantastic. 5y

britt_brooke @shutterbug_mama I didn‘t think I‘d like it because it has dragons. 😆 I thought that was so dumb, but it turns out it‘s super well done, and hooked me immediately. I love it! (edited) 5y

KimM I think it will be Tyrian and either Jon or Dany, or both, will die 😭 5y

KimM I‘m also convinced Sansa is a goner and it will come down to Tyrian, Arya, Dany and Jon. 5y

britt_brooke @KimM I‘d love to see Tyrion on the throne. I‘ll be most sad if he dies. 5y

Under the Mountain | Maurice Gee

#nofemmeber #underarock

This kids book is kinda famous where I live. It‘s a fantasy about monsters who live under mountains around Auckland, all of which are extinct volcanoes. I haven‘t read it but I saw the mini series back in the 80s.
The other two pictures are of my rock. (Not actually mine of course!) This is Rangitoto, a volcano I live in the shadow of, taonga (treasure) of Ngāi Tai and Aucklanders.

Cinfhen, Billypar

LeahBergen How cool! 5y

Billypar That is gorgeous!! And a volcano with monsters under it sounds like an awesome kids book 🌋👹 5y

I‘m on the @batsy failure train. Epic fail on lists. I make them ,lose them or stash them #underarock . This one ,
#LitsyAtoZ2018 found this morning, my #litsyclassics can‘t find it, my #GARBingo I have read 5 but not in a row for bingo. There is a #readallcultures list here somewhere....Hey , I wouldn‘t want to create a database on computer so I would know where they are....heck no!😂 #NoFemmeber

Cinfhen, Billypar

Billypar I'm a big fan of Excel sheets but I'm not sure they're more effective- I know I have countless that I start and forget about! And Litsy A to Z looks pretty successful to me 👍👍 5y

RealBooks4ever You can do it! 💜 5y

batsy The lists are the best part! You're already on a roll 😁👍🏽 5y

erzascarletbookgasm There‘s hope in this challenge- only 5 to go. You can do it! 🙂 5y

A predictable but inescapable choice for #underarock. I loved this tense, unsettling story of three girls who go missing during a school picnic #NoFemmeBer @Cinfhen @Billypar

Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup | John Carreyrou

Many on the theranos board and the clients Elizabeth Holmes pitches her blood testing system to must have been living #underarock to not see through her fraud. This is my #currentread and it is fascinating. #NoFemmeBer #nonfiction

Cinfhen, Billypar

Billypar I never read it, but this is such a crazy story- is amazing how far a startup can get without having the very thing they're promising! 🤥😷 5y

Blaire @Billypar it was shocking! Especially since it was a medical device not just some internet thing. And there were so many red flags from the start. She was some saleswoman. 5y
