I just finished two books.
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens and This is How it Always is by Laurie Frankel. Two very different subjects but two very intriguing and rewarding books.
Hello you! Great to see you here! ♥I truly enjoyed Where the Crawdads Sing . . .I think they are going to make a movie too. I hope so. Hey y'all!
Hey, MadamMack! Nice to see you!! I loved it, too! And yes, Reese Witherspoon is producing it! Yay!I truly enjoyed Where the Crawdads Sing . . .I think they are going to make a movie too. I hope so. Hey y'all!
Glad it's getting more enjoyable!! Hang in there!I decided to pick up Fire and Blood (that GoT prequel, Targaryen history, big tome of begetting) and read it and only it until I am finished. It is still slow going but I am enjoying it more.
I still wish it had been written in the same style as the other GoT books.
I fell in love with a series of King Arthur books by Mary Stewart
I've read the first two of these and really enjoyed them.those were fantastic books - I love them too!
The Crystal Cave 1970
The Hollow Hills 1973
The Last Enchantment 1979
There was a 4th book (The Wicked Day) but I am not sure if I read that one
I do own one from 1995 called The Prince and the Pilgrim
My Mom used to read this type of fiction and I read some of them when I was quite young
Good to see you.You have been missed.Reading brought me to Stephen King’s message board years ago. Reading Stephen’s books over the years really help me deal with the unfairness of life --gave me an escape and helped me to understand just how mean some people can be. So, that’s why I’m going to share my thoughts with you now, my Message Board Family.
It’s about Where the Crawdads Sing. I finished the book in a few days. I just couldn’t stop reading it because it was like a song written just for me. My eyes stayed misty through most of the story. I worried about Kya and I was angered by how she was treated. More than anything I felt how lonely she was as a child –how she knew that mostly all she really had to depend on was herself. Most of all I was so proud of her strength and determination to survive and learn.
Delia Owens descriptions of the marsh is just so beautiful. I didn’t grown up near a marsh but I did grown up in a small town and I have fond memories of the area. The sunsets and moonrises and the sounds of summer. The heat, and the wild berries, plums and the bugs! Back then I’d see a snake and it wouldn’t even bother me. If I see one now I’d have a heart attack!
I enjoyed the book so much until at the moment I don’t know what to do with myself because I miss Kya, Tate, and the rest that much.
I just thought I’d share that with y’all.
. . .Oh Lawd . . I’ve got to move on to a serious ass horror story now.
Thanks for your ear . . .

It is not bad at all. Named 1793 in swedish. The year is significant to swedes as it is the year after the assassination of the King Gustav III in 1792. The years after that was unruly and insecure. You can, if you stretch your imagination, call it a failed attempt to copy the french revolution. The leaders were nobles inspired, partly, by what was going on in France. I like its originality. Its rare in sweden with good historical crime novels."The Wolf and the Watchman". A Swedish mystery set in the late 18th century. Being compared - for good or ill - with The Alienist.
The Wolf and the Watchman
Sounds like something a certain Roman Consul would enjoyI am about 2/3 thru reading The Library Book by Susan Orlean. This is a fascinating account around the devastating fire at the Central Branch Library in LA in 1986. Most folks have little to no idea that this even happened, especially if you were not in the area, because it's the same week as the Chernobyl disaster. Over 400,000 books were completely destroyed and more than that were damaged. Orlean paints a vivid picture of the fire, the history of the building and libraries in general, and the efforts to find the arsonist who started the fire. In a strange serendipity, I had just finished Fahrenheit 451 when I started this one. A good back-to-back choice. Recommend for all book lovers/library fans!
That was lovely, thanks Char... I'm going to look for this one now.Reading brought me to Stephen King’s message board years ago.
