Hope you had a great #bookchat #booksky

Hmmm. Well, don't know about laugh aloud funny but have enjoyed the first 50 pages. Will see if it wears thin 🙂

Its started strong 🙂

Brutally honest, if they are to be taken at face value, I am sure they have.

Have you read the one his (ex?) wife wrote, almost by way of reply?

Hope you soon feel better. I haven't gone past the second Knausgaard yet - you obviously think it's worth it. How far have you read? #devonbookhour

I agree. Life's too short to persist when it's not hitting the sweet spot
How's your week been?

Sounds wonderful. Glad you are connected with Devon. @librariesunlimited.bsky.social is a wonderful organisation and libraries continue to thrive here. I'm sure you offer lots of events, book clubs etc too. I'd love to connect with Wakefield readers and writers too.

Hi Sophie and a warm welcome to our Devon Book Club community. Great to connect with you.

I enjoyed it very much 🙂

Thank you. Yes. She died a little over a month ago, just as I was due to fly. Obviously I cancelled the trip. I hope to rearrange next year.

Ah - futuristic books that have arrived in real time. I wonder how prescient it is? #devonbookhour

Well gerat to hear from you anyway. no - had to postpone Japan because of my sister's illness and death - am wondering about either February or next October/November. The Wall Jumper is a good book. I read it some time ago but I do remember it. #devonbookhour

Ooh that sounds great too. Siberia is an incredible region with a varied and fascinating history - I'd love to go there one day but, obviously not for some time! #devonbookhour

I have a tinnitus too but, strangely, it tends to disappear when I'm concentrating on a book #devonbookhour

No - Japan is postponed to next year. This is a shorter one to Thailand. Love the idea of chancing upon/books swaps. These days I give away all my books after I read them unless they are special in some way and/or I want to re-read #devonbookhour
