Bluejay

Hi everybody,

I am an English teacher from the Netherlands and I love reading (and writing as well). I read everything and anything from cereal boxes to 19th century literature and anything in between. I like talking with people about books we have read and that's why I love being here. more »

    Dear Bluejay,
    I love reading and it has been a life-long habit. My problem these days is as soon as I read something, I forget it! I started keeping a reading journal but I misplace it for months at a time. I think it is brain overload. My present read is The Little Friend by Donna Tartt. Funny, two of the first characters I meet are named Libby and Edie - the names of my two daughters. Isn't that interesting. Keep on reading and sharing your opinions of what you've read. Warm Regards, Barbara

    Hey BlueJay, for some reason Shelfari will not let me respond to any discussions in the group Greenjackets. I have sent a message to Amanda the admin and hopefully this will get resolved soon. Just giving someone in the group the heads up that I am still hanging around.

    Are you enjoying reading The Tain this month. It will be running on into May. The language and being half verse and half prose makes it difficult at times but it will give us some themes to watch out for when we read Beowulf in June.
    Happy Reading

    Hi Bluejay I have posted the April Book read (SAGAS) The Tain under the post of that title so nobody has to buy the book and it is posted in sections so we can read it as we go along and discuss it. I hope you are still looking forward to reading the story

    Thank you, Bluejay. I just discovered Shelfari this afternoon, so I have a lot of work to do. I recently started re-reading the Sharpe novels, which is why I joined the Greenjackets' Inn. I look forward to discussing the books.

    I would have the strength to
    caress those days
    past and can stop,
    listen to the sound of your
    voice and your smile
    and keep them in a casket
    so you can still suffers
    in the darkest days.

    Thank you for the note. It does seem a good plot, maybe I will get it for a summer read when I have more time to translate it into English as I go.
