dabbe @BarkingMadRead I was looking over the chapters, and a few of them are 40-60 pages. I'm okay powering through, but I do have a modified reading schedule if anyone is interested; we'd still finish well before the end of September. Starting with tomorrow, here it is:
9/13: Ch. 5, first half
9/14: Ch. 5, second half
9/15: Book 2/Ch. 1
9/16: Ch. 2
9/17: Ch. 3
9/18: Book 3/Ch. 1, first half
9/19: Ch. 1, second half

2w

dabbe 9/22: Ch. 4
9/23: Ch. 5, first half
9/24: Ch. 5, second half
9/25: Epilogue

This is only a suggestion that I thought I'd share. 🧡💜💛 2w

Cuilin I can‘t remember if this is my third or fourth time reading this book, but I cannot figure out Ryder‘s father!! he just exudes sarcasm, right? Also, Cordelia is hilarious. “I can‘t spare you a whole rosary you know. Just a decade.” 2w

BarkingMadRead @dabbe I love this, thanks for figuring it out! I will make a separate post and tag everyone so that nobody misses it 2w

Ruthiella @Cuilin This is only my second time reading it. I do recall on first reading it how I thought Charles relationship was his father was sad and lonely, but on the second reading I kind of think that Ryder Sr. is doing the right thing by encouraging (in his way) Charles to live within his means (which are very generous 740 in 1925!?!!) and get him out of the house and living his own life. Plus, he likes Sebastian - later chapters will prove. 2w

mcctrish I love Cordelia! Sebastien stuttering “Charles, Charles! It‘s Mr Ryder” Cordelia “Charles, meet me ……” I‘m getting Flavia vibes! I love a precocious tween girl 2w

Cuilin @Ruthiella yeah I agree with this assessment. I do think he was trying to encourage Charles to live within his means and also to use his summer appropriately, maybe get a job and then he could afford go to the theater, etc.. plus I also think Charles though aware of his father‘s loneliness, doesn‘t write to him. 2w

dabbe @BarkingMadRead 😘 2w

dabbe @mcctrish 🎯♥️🎯 2w

Clare-Dragonfly I love Cordelia! She knows what she wants and goes for it. 2w

ElizaMarie I love Cordelia and her rosary!!! She is such a fun character 2w

Judgment of Paris | George M. Taber

pick

Fascinating, a bit slow in places, but if you are a wine lover or interested in the history of wine, this book may be right for you. Following the wine tasting that changed the world of wine, this looks at the history of California wine and what happened when they beat the best French wines in France in 1976. I savored this one! #Doublespin #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 6mo

A wine and used books store?! Brilliant! Even better…buy a bottle of wine, get a free book! If you‘re visiting Deep Creek Lake in McHenry, MD, stop by Black Bear Wine & Words and check out their selection and free tastings. ❤️📚🍷

Judgment of Paris | George M. Taber

so-so

The old bait and switch where the prologue sucks you into the action but then the chapters back up to years before and most of the book is not about the main event. It is disappointing, especially since the author even says in the text that the goal was to set the record straight about the event itself, and yet it gets the fewest pages.

#JulyJourneys

I love wine, find it fascinating & enjoy books about it so
I decided to go the non-fiction route for today‘s #winetasting prompt. 🍷🍇🍷 Most of these are books I own/have read except for Wine Girl which is on my Kindle #TBR & the tagged book which is on my #wishlist just waiting for a good reason or at least some semi-reasonable sounding justification to buy it.😉 📚📚📚🤷🏻‍♀️📚📚📚
