Right now, the two options that I am most considering are Tasty Morsels: Short and/or sweet and First Things First: Debuts which I think would really compliment Bookpossum's The end of the road: Finales. Maybe as a December/January pairing to double up on the endings/beginnings theme.

The End of the Road could be a little lugubrious for December.

Obviously you were not a New York Mets fan in 1973! Tug McGraw was a relief pitcher for the team--he was an exuberant, fun, crazy player, and his "Ya gotta believe!" became a rallying cry for the team and the fans that year as they improbably won their division on the last day of the season, then beat the Cincinnati Reds in the playoffs, before losing to the Oakland A's in the seventh game of the World Series.

I agree. A lot of people thought Tasty Morsels would be a nice pairing for December. Quote:

I thoroughly recommend pretty much anything by Pratchett, and his books for younger readers make a great way to discover whether you like his voice (his books have a very distinctive voice). Especially keep an eye out for The Bromeliad trilogy (Truckers, Diggers and Wings), these would definitely be part of any desert island collection of mine. Which makes me wonder whether there is a theme in "Desert Island Collection" ? Just a thought. Last edited by gmw; 04-12-2019 at 09:04 PM. |

I would just like to point out that both the Yankees and the Red Sox are well below .500 right now.
Go Mariners! This season has been a lot of fun so far but I don't know any M's fans who expect it to continue. I'll take it while it lasts though! I might be able to make it to a game next week. :Crosses fingers that this lasts that long: |

Well, I will agree that, other than the Rays, none of the AL East seems to be this year.

All the antipodeans are saying "Huh?"
But we have our sporting religions too, with different football codes in different states, so we understand the principle. |
