There's been some discussion here on toot.wales about having regular / themed hashtags, so I'm going to suggest / instigate a new one and see if we can get this to be a thing.
::draws back shiny curtain::
#DarllenDyddLlun (Monday reading - Welsh only hashtag at the moment, because I can't think of a good English equivalent, but the alliteration / cynghanedd is too good to miss. Open to suggestions though.)
Beth ydych chi'n darllen? What are you reading? Tell toot.wales about it.
I'd currently reading Broken Greek by Pete Paphides - his memoirs about growing up in a Greek / Cypriot family in Birmingham in the 70s and 80s, and the music that influenced him. It's quite sweet and funny, and though I'm about 10 years younger than him, I recognize a lot of what he writes, especially his reactions to music. Very enjoyable.
2022 is the year that I've got back into reading regularly for pleasure, after at least 10 years of barely reading more than 5 or so books a year, and mostly children's books at that. I'm still reading kids books, as they're great for a couple of hours of escapism, but I'm also reading whatever looks interesting on the my local library Borrowbox service, including books in Welsh, plus things I've seen mentioned on the Bird Site. I'm open to suggestions here too!
@sheepnik Dw i'n darllen mwy yn Saesneg nag yn Gymraeg, ond yn meddwl am wneud mwy o ymdrech yn 2023. Ar hyn o bryd dw i'n darllen "The Heyday in the Blood" gan Geraint Goodwin (cyfres Library of Wales), "Lud-in-the-Mist" gan Hope Mirrlees, clasur ffantasiol, ac "Orlam", cerdd hir gan P.J.Harvey
@sheepnik hmm, o ran hud... siŵr o fod dach chi wedi darllen Bethan Gwanas, os o'ch chi'n arfer gweithio mewn siop lyfrau? Y trioleg Melanai a "Gwrach y Gwyllt" yn enwedig?
Os oes gynnoch chi ddiddordeb mewn ychydig o Lovecraftian horror, byddech chi'n licio "Pumed Mainc y Mabinogi" gan Peredur Glyn.
Hoff iawn ydw i o @Ifanmj hefyd, yn enwedig "Igam Ogam". Mae o wedi sgwennu llyfr Steampunk hefyd ("Babbel") ond mae o dal ar fy silff i'w ddarllen.
@sheepnik ar ôl i mi ddechrau darllen yn y Gymraeg, nes i ddim stopio am flwyddyn...
Dw i'n darllen yn Saesneg ar hyn o bryd, ond mae gen i restr hir i'w orffen pan dw i'n mynd yn ôl ati.
@sheepnik Ar hyn o bryd dw i'n darllen "Mynd fel Bom" gan Myfanwy Alexander (yn Gymraeg). Hefyd, dw i'n darllen "The Green Man's Gift" gan Juliet McKenna.
At the moment I'm reading "Mynd fel Bom" by Myfanwy Alexander (in Welsh). Also, I'm reading "The Green Man's Gift" by Juliet McKenna (in English).
@sheepnik #DarllenDyddLlun Yn Gymraeg “Oes yr Eira” gan Elidir Jones a Huw Aaron.
In English this week’s #comics including some cape stuff, the fantastic “#Starhenge” by Liam Sharp, and this month’s #PlanetMagazine.
Yn ddwyiethog/ Bilingually the latest #Gwyllion mag - Welsh theme SF & Fantasy
Some of those things need their own hashtags and greater visibilty.
