Book Chatter

#ulyssesRAL2017

Long ago in a land far away, I tried to read Ulysses and gave up quickly but the book had nothing to do with it. It was a timing thing. I had too much going on and just wasn’t in the right mood. I’ve been meaning to get back to it.

When I mentioned this on Twitter or perhaps it was in response to a blog comment, Serena suggested we read it together. We thought maybe there’d be a few of you who might want to join us.

Hosted By:

Serena at Savvy Verse & Wit and myself, Ti at Book Chatter.

Twitter Hashtag:

We will use Twitter to discuss this book throughout the read along by using the hashtag #ulyssesRAL2017. If you ever want to see what any of us are saying, just search for that hashtag.

Reading Breakdown:

Part 1 Discussion on Feb. 10
Part 2 Discussion on March 10 (largest section)
Part 3 Discussion on March 17

If this sounds even remotely fun or doable and you’d like to join in, let us know by signing-up below and be sure to use #ulyssesRAL2017 if/when you post on Twitter.

I’ve got my copy, which is the cover noted above and I am ready for February 1st!

Sunday Matters

Right Now:

I am sitting here waiting for my coffee to brew and the rain is coming down!! We are supposed to get four inches in just a few hours so we’re hoping the burned hillsides hold. In a little bit we’ll be heading off to church and then sadly, I may have to hit the market. Poor timing on my part.

This Week:

Those of you who have been with me for awhile know that production week for a show can be really crazy. Well, this entire week they are finally in the theater and by this time next weekend, they will be on stage. I am really looking forward to this run of JOSEPH. It’s a great show.

Their home this week, and my home too since I will be backstage for some of it:

PAC

Reading:

I got sucked into The Passenger by Lisa Lutz. These suspenseful, thriller type books are really calling my name this month. The review should post sometime this week.

I started Did You Ever Have a Family by Bill Clegg for book club. I should have started it a little earlier because in February I’ll be hosting a Ulysses read along with Serena. Details will be posted tomorrow!

Watching:

Not much. Still walking The Hub thorough Breaking Bad.

Making:

I’d like to pick up something for the crock pot today. Maybe stew?

Grateful for:

Weekends. We had a nice day at two museums yesterday. My son was off and it was the only non-rainy day we’ve had in a long time to spend together.

What’s up with you? Reading anything I have to know about? Cooking anything good?

Chatting with friends about books and life…
