[FUN GR] - 31 DEC - NEW YEARS EVE
December 31 - New Years Eve!
Tis the last day of the year! The calendar comes to an end and we bring in a new year.
Whether you have elaborate plans to bring in the new year, such as attending a fabulous party with fireworks and lots of people...
or you're planning on chilling with friends
However, you do it it's going to happen 😛
In true RO style, we've decided to have a GR Party on the night!
So bring your snacks and treats and join us for a light-hearted fun chat 🙂
Join us Monday 31st at 7:30PM AEDT for a New Years Eve RO Party 😛
Hmm...favorite book would probably have to go to The Book of Lost Things, by John Connolly. For the record, I didn't actually read it this year (I'd read it several years ago), but 2018 was the year I finally managed to get someone else to read it and introduce them to Connolly's writing - which again, I think brought us a bit closer as friends and the topic it raised about reading interests and favored books/genre's gave us something to chat about after kinda disappearing on one another for several months in the way that life tends to enforce when your career goes on one path, and theirs down another.
That's a bit of a cheat though, so I'll probably throw another title in there - Your Life In My Hands - by Rachel Clarke, a memoir by a doctor documenting her work in the UK's NHS medical system (and more specifically, how the NHS is being gutted by their politicians). Memoirs aren't everyone's favorite genre, but honestly, there's just something magical in the way that Clarke writes that's wonderfully empathetic and moving. While it's decidedly biased and partisan, she's so incredibly effective at stirring your heartstrings and plucking them to her tune that you kinda have to give her credit, despite the obvious manipulation that's taking place. Highly recommend giving it a read (or a listen on the audiobook, the narrator they got is damned good too).
My turn! 😄 😄 😄
2. What is your favourite book or movie or song or memory from 2018?
Book: I've been rereading Magnus Chase, aaand I love them! 😉 I love too many to say my favourite but that's the one I've most recently read/been reading so it's the one! 😄
