➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

Try the Iron Tower trilogy by Dennis L. McKiernan. It's a shorter, faster paced Lord of the Rings.

Thanks! I’ll have to try that one. Although I have a lot of nonfiction and like self help type books too I’ve been trying to read. Maybe that’s why I’ve been so bored reading. I should maybe start with fiction lol have a lot of mystery ones I’ve been meaning to read haha

I like them in theory, but I end up preferring to work along my own structural formats rather than with the many types of pentameter/tetrameter/whatever else you care for. I find it frustrating to have to rework a phrasing I really like to make it conform to a rhythm.

That makes a lot of sense. But that said, poetry doesn’t always follow the rules either and there’s plenty of famous poems and poets who went against the rules regularly! That’s what makes it so beautiful, unique, interesting, great, etc. doesn’t have to conform and you can make a statement by making it not. But of course making your own rules is a lot of fun too.

I can't imagine not having lots of books around! I used to read a novel a day. I still read one or two a week. I'm also a member of a writing group. Some of you might enjoy this series. It's historical fiction set in Texas in the late 1800s. It's written by one of the people in my writing group and I helped edit them.

Edit: I have a personal library with around 4K books in it? I'm guessing. It fills a room and half and I have lots of books stacked on the floor too.

I would not want to be your friend if you ever decided to move to a new house. 4K books probably way 8 tons! Where do you keep them. That's enough weight in books to cause structural damage to a floor joists!

Yep, that works if the rules you make up are good ones.

Lady, you're hired. If you can turn my bookshelves into anything less than a total whirlwind of everything from "Teach Yourself C++ Programming in 21 Days" to "Baby's First Animal Book" you'll deserve a medal.

Maybe when she’s done she can come organize our house too.

my dad thinks that’s what happened to our house cause some of the frames are cracked/shifted and he says it’s cause of all the books and junk in her room.

Hmm that’s true. I’m sure yours are.

I have shelves all around the walls, and the collection is split between two rooms. I know better than to stack them in the middle of the room. I dread the idea of moving, but since I've been in the same house for 50 years, it's unlikely to happen any time soon.

Hmmm... I always thought that the shifting of my house was due to being on adobe, but the books might have something to do with it.

Nah. All of the houses in my areas shift. Living on adobe sucks.

My quail started laying again finally! Ef connected 11 eggs yesterday evening. I am hoping the numbers stay up there now because I have somebody interested in buying quail eggs regularly.

I only have one lone female left, and she's barely laying. It's a good thing I don't have anyone that wants hatching eggs at this time of year.

First floor or second floor? Ours are second floor (well every floor really but mostly upstairs) and definitely in the middle and everywhere.

At first I thought this was an IT joke. then Google kept turning up the Adobe program. Finally found it though. Yes I had to Google.
