“Enduring it rather than enjoying it.” Yes, exactly! I’m only getting through it this time around because of our group. You’ve had such a great week-and month. I’m glad that the westerns are really working for you. I will surely watch your western wrap-up! 🤠

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

Thank you Pat. I love our Ulysses reading group and I always value your opinion 😊

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

@@RaynorReadsStuff and I yours!

Just been through the wringer, watching England! Now I can relax and watch you.

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

Thank you. Always glad to see you. We got a bit lucky there I feel ⚽️

[@BookBlather]

Glad to see you plowing forward through Dune!

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

I’m loving it. Can’t believe I’ve never read it before. Say hi to Olive 🐶

😄

[@FacelessBookReviews]

Yes! I found the Zorro take! Thank you.

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching 😊

I'll be reading Rogue Herries (and maybe others) in July and starting my first Q3 book. Then I'll be participating in a new event -- Giallo July (perhaps I shouldn't mention yet another event in front of you!) For that, I'll be reading The Screaming Mimi by Frederic Brown and, again, maybe others.

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

Haha. Already signed up for Giallo July too. So glad you’ll be joining us for Rogue Herries ☺️

When you’re listening to an Audible audiobook, click on the little dashes to the left of the current title (in the center) and it will show you all the chapters, etc.

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

Thanks Steph. I’ll investigate 😊

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

Ha. I’ve found it. Thanks so much 😊. Did think it was just me being dense 😂😂

[@StephanieJCohen]

@@RaynorReadsStuff I think I just stumbled on it at one point which is only reason I know. I am usually dense with this stuff too. 😜

[@kristeljaago5502]

If you're looking to read more Westerns I recommend All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy. A truly beautiful book talking about the "illusion" of the Wild West and how we construct and think about such myths. Hope you will enjoy it and thank you for your videos!! I have gotten so many good recommendations from them :))

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

@@kristeljaago5502 oh thank you so much for stopping by. I’ve downloaded All The Pretty Horses on my e-reader. I’ll let you know what I think (when I’ve finished the enormous challenges I’ve set myself this month 😁). I’m glad you are finding books that interest you on my channel 😊
