B4’s Sister

Love SK. I’ve really enjoyed the Bill Hodges trilogy. The Mr Mercedes tv series was pretty good. Have you read The Outsider or Holly? I love Holly as a character. I’ve got Billy Summers and Needful Things waiting to be read.

I’ve only read The End of the Affair by Graham Green. That’s was a while ago though

Thank you

Can we claim PPI back afterwards? 😂

The flowers would be for my dad. My mum can’t stand football 😂

Hi Angie, it’s my birthday on Wednesday. A B4 flag would be lovely ❤️

Yes, I had a birthday announcement for Wednesday. Thank you ❤️

Congratulations on getting published. This flower looks fascinating

Thanks Dan. Just what we needed 🎉🐏🐏🐏🎉

Ahhh you guys 😊 Thank you so much for being so kind. Had some good news today, my mum and dad are going to buy the season ticket as this year’s birthday and Christmas present (as long as I stay on Santa’s nice list 😂). I’m going to pay for the car parking this season in return. Thank you so much for trying to help. You’re all stuck with me for another season 🐏 🐏🐏

I love the cover of Lessons. Will give it a go at some point

Someone recommended The Bee Sting to me. My reading wish list is growing by the minute today 😂

Thanks for the recommendations @Crewton my book club is reading Queen of Dirt Island by Donal Ryan for our April meeting

Loved The Hearts Invisible Furies. Cyril two had me in stitches 😂 Please add some recommendations. I’ve really been enjoying Chinese and Japanese literature recently too. The Bonesetters Daughter by Amy Tan, Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, and Pachinko by Min Ji Lee are all excellent.

The majority of audiobooks are read by one person who acts out the different characters. Some audiobooks have more than one narrator. Personally, I don’t like more than two narrators as it can get a bit confusing, but it could be that I’m usually listening while driving and can’t always concentrate on the book 100%. if you have a library membership you can use the BorrowBox app for free audio and ebooks. I use this a lot.

They are all different. Is Cloud Atlas easy to follow? I’ve watched the film twice and been quite confused both times

The book club I go to picked Song of Achilles last year and we enjoyed it. The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker is good. They are a lot of characters who appear in different myths. Achilles is also part of the story. My favourite rewritten myth is Circe by Madeline Miller.

I bought Before the Dust Settles last night. Only 99p on kindle at the moment.

I will have to see the film. So many books, so little time to read them all 😂 My favourite Irish author is John Boyne.

I am a swimmer but have never been wild swimming. Swimming is so relaxing. I love nature too. The Salt Path by Raynor Winn is a good read. She has written two follow ups too.

It is really interesting and it helps you understand different personalities. Especially in the workplace. I was introduced to it from an away day exercise. We established what personality type we were and then planned a party in our personality groups. I’m a blue - very detail focussed. Everyone I have met who has done the exercise loved it. My only critique of the book is it very American.

No, this is really interesting. I wangled my way into a talk with two U.N. Executives on Tuesday. One of them was the negotiator for the 1999 Air India hijacked plane. The theory and cultural considerations were really interesting to hear. Have you read Surrounded by Idiots?@Van der MoodHoover

Yes, come on Daniel (B4) you didn’t deliver on me losing a few pounds with grief, so the least you can do is pick the Rams up. It can be an early birthday present for me 😂

@MaltRam Added this to my wish list. I love Greek myths and well researched historical fiction. The last book I read was Blood and Beauty by Sarah Dunant which was about the the Borgias

This sounds interesting
