Bout Of Books Day #1
The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays - Oscar Wilde,Richard Allen Cave
Fleishman Is in Trouble - Taffy Brodesser-Akner
The Secret Barrister: Stories of the Law and How It's Broken - The Secret Barrister
The Rotters' Club - Jonathan Coe

It may be a bit ambitious, but I'm hoping to finish all these books this week for Bout of Books, plus a slim guide to the workings of the economy by Yanis Varofakis that's not in the catalogue. Even if I don't finish them all a few done would be great. I was just ironing and listening to the BBC adaption of The Importance of Being Ernest (Oscar Wilde). I'm nearly finished it and it's proving fantastic, with performances from Judi Dench and Colin Firth. I'll have that finished by tonight.

 

The challenge today, introduce yourself in six words:

 

Words abound today, why not always?

You Can't Touch My Hair: And Other Things I Still Have to Explain - Phoebe Robinson,Jessica Williams

I decided to read The Glorious Heresies another time as I have it in print at the minute and I'm having some issues with my eyes, due to hayfever, so reading on my kobo is working out much better. Seeing as I decided to set that down, I had a normal roll plus the 3 extra one's for Independence days.

 

Roll 1: 6 & 3 which took me to:

 

 

 

For this I'm going to read We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche

 

Roll 2: 4 & 1 which took me to jail! For this I use my pocketed racing card to take me to: 

 

 

 

 

For this I'm going to read The Secret Barrister by...The Secret Barrister

 

Roll 3: 3 & 2 which takes me to the cat card, which I pocket and roll again

 

 

Roll 4: 5 & 5 (doubles!) This takes me to square:

 

 

  • For this I'm going to read Talking to my Daughter about the Economy by Yanis Varoufakis. As I rolled doubles I got to roll again.

 

Roll 5: I rolled 6 & 1 which took me to the Go square, so I rolled again.

 

Roll 6: I rolled 5 & 4 which took me here:

 

 

For this I'm going to read You Can't Touch My Hair by Phoebe Robinson

 

Roll 7: I rolled 2 & 1 which took me here:

 

 

For this I'm going to read Conviction by Denise Mina

 

It's going to take me forever to read all 5 of these books! I'm really glad I've got my reading planned so far in advance, but fortunately I won't get to roll again for a while *sniff sniff*
