    B4 - for ever a Ram 🐏

    It’s Daniel’s birthday tomorrow. I will be buying a cake later. Dan loved cake. Even though he isn’t here, there should always be cake on birthdays. I wanted to do something to mark Dan’s birthday and wondered if we could give the RSPCA a birthday boost? I wouldn’t expect people to give much as so much money was raised already.  Just £1 from a handful of us would help towards costs. What do you think?

    I must look for that ! One of my all time favourite modern actors. Died too young. I’ll never forget “Christmas is cancelled” he would have been a great Rams fan 🤣

    I’ve got visions of him as Snape chanting the spell at Quidditch but at Pride Park 😂

    That's a very interesting point. I often do likewise (though usually try to read at least one review of any book I read). Keen to try more fiction by female authors, I'd read that Helen Dunmore was highly regarded. She had a new book out in paperback called Birdcage Walk which was getting good reviews, so I bought it, but found it to be no more than OK. A few months later (I think after she'd died) I decided to give her another go and read another recent book of hers called The Siege, set during the siege of Leningrad in WW2. This proved to be everything that Birdcage Walk wasn't and made me glad that I'd not given up on her.

    One of the few authors I’ve liked almost everything by is Sarah Waters. I’ve now read everything by her apart from The Night Watch. I’ve been saving it knowing, there is nothing else by her at the moment. 
     

    @ketteringram I loved The Light Between Oceans too. Hated The Midnight Library. I’ve sworn to never to read another book by Matt Haig 😆

    Finished Queen of Dirt Island the other day. Unusual writing style, and I'm not keen on the way he does speech, but overall, I enjoyed it enough to try more. 

    So have moved onto The Spinning Heart, which got delivered yesterday. Only a few pages in at this stage, but I think I'll enjoy this one more than Queen of Dirt Island. 

    Did you get around to reading any of his other books?

    Not yet, but I will definitely read more. My book club are discussing Queen of Dirt Island in our April meeting. I loved how each chapter felt like a short story. It was a clever way of writing with the chapters being so short.

    I’ve just finished Coastliners by Joanne Harris. I didn’t enjoy Chocolat by the same author and I wasn’t a fan of this either.

    While I’ve been doing DIY over the last week I have listened to The Colour of Our Sky by Amita Trasi. Loved it but I really felt for the female characters in it.
     

    Need to pick a new book for reading and listening to. Think I’m going to read Ladder to the Sky by John Boyne. Maybe listen to Wakenhyrst by Michelle Paver on Audible. 

    Who could continue the journey?

    Probably a silly question but I’m still getting back into football and learning. Are players like Adams reluctant to sign a contract (putting aside pay details etc) because they want to know if Derby will be in the championship first? If not, they are on the lookout for offers from championship clubs. I appreciate everyone is always open to better deals.
