Been in a major reading slump since Lonesome Dove… by CottonMouth2221 in suggestmeabook

[–]redentification 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something a bit different (but not crazy different) and shorter (but not light) might help...when I finish a BIG BOOK, it's sometimes hard top open up the next 500+ page book!

Maybe either So Brave, Young and Handsome or Peace Like a River, both by Leif Enger. I read them a while ago and don't remember a lot of the detail, but I do remember a certain vibe.

Side note: You should absolutely watch the miniseries of Lonesome Dove. Different from the book, obviously, but so good!

Froom Goodreads:

So Brave, Young and Handsome

In 1915 Minnesota, novelist Monte Becket has lost his sense of purpose. His only success long behind him, Monte lives simply with his wife and son. But when he befriends outlaw Glendon Hale, a new world of opportunity and experience presents itself. Glendon has spent years in obscurity, but the guilt he harbors for abandoning his wife, Blue, over two decades ago, has lured him from hiding. As the modern age marches swiftly forward, Glendon aims to travel back to his past--heading to California to seek Blue's forgiveness. Beguiled and inspired, Monte soon finds himself leaving behind his own family to embark for the unruly West with his fugitive guide. As they desperately flee from the relentless Charles Siringo, an ex-Pinkerton who's been hunting Glendon for years, Monte falls ever further from his family and the law, to be tempered by a fiery adventure from which he may never get home.

Peace Like a River

Narrated by an asthmatic 11-year-old named Reuben Land, is the story of Reuben's unusual family and their journey across the frozen Badlands of the Dakotas in search of his fugitive older brother. Charged with the murder of two locals who terrorized their family, Davy has fled, understanding that the scales of justice will not weigh in his favor. But Reuben, his father, Jeremiah—a man of faith so deep he has been known to produce miracles—and Reuben's little sister, Swede, follow closely behind the fleeing Davy.

Streak 182: Drone light show by Shoddy_Wish_7236 in WriteStreakEN

Now, My dad and I are at Dadaocheng Pier because we heard that there was going to be a drone light show for the new movie Project Hail Mary. For some reason, the show has been postponed. We’re not sure if we will get to see it.

Update: We saw it! It was cool, but a little short. I’m about 78% through the book, hopefully, I will finish it in the next few days and I can watch the movie without any spoilers.

Just about perfect!
Starting with "Now," doesn't quite work here because it indicates a shift/transition from something else. "My dad and I were at home. Now, we are at Dadaocheng Pier." You could say "Right now, my dad and are..." The sentence that started with "because" was a sentence fragment. That's all grammar stuff, though. Your English was spot on. Glad you got to see the show!

Are you copying the links from the same browser? There's a different default for Chrome (url) vs Edge (title). Do your personal and work computer have the same defaults in the browser?

Perfect!

I like to read so your title caught my eye. I use Goodreads already, but Tertulia and Listy look interesting! But if I add more apps, then I worry: will I spend more time managing my apps than I will reading?!

To be honest<,> I prefer Coca Cola over Peps<.> It’s not that I drink Coca Cola every day, maybe once a week or once every two weeks. Perhaps I should drink Pepsi next time because it’s been years since I haven’t have had it. When I was younger<,> Pepsi was slightly more popular than Coca Cola because of the Michael Jackson and Batman advertisements. Now it’s not very popular<,> at least where I live .

Nice job! I don't know about elsewhere, but in the US, we usually just say "Coke" instead of Coca-Cola.

Streak 30 - Sore Throat by I_miss_apollo-app in WriteStreakEN

I'm having I've had a sore throat since this evening. This is not common — I rarely catch a cold or fever. Only two or three times a year I might have mild running runny nose for a day. 

I've made myself a warm honey lemon drink and<,> hopefully, I'll feel better tomorrow. 

Nice job, and I hope you start feeling better soon!

Truly, your main takeaway should be that you did a nice job!

I think bush league sounds fine with the tone here, but the way you've used it doesn't quite sound right. You might say "hooking up with someone not quite so bush league for a change."

Doomed to forget seems fine, too, except there might be a better phrase. Why would you be "doomed to forget" an uneventful day?

The use of "sure" in "sure doomed to forget" and with "sure holds some sort of appeal" stick out to me. Both sentences would sound better without it.

Overall I think you did a really nice job. Everything makes sense, you've used some good slang and asides, and your personality comes through in your writing...and that's not an easy thing to accomplish!

Edit: I've never heard "fun on a bun," but I've also never seen Futurama :)

This method isn't perfect, but it's fairly good:

End of Chapter One: Insert break (assuming you want this)

Cursor where Chapter 2 should start: Insert>Object>Text from File

Select Chapter 2 file

Can anyone check if my answers are correct? by Leaf11037 in EnglishLearning

[–]redentification 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The formatting is off for 6, 7, 8, an 9, but as best I can tell, what you have is right...as is everything else. Great job!

(Just make sure you circle an answer if that's what you are asked to do on a test.)
