PigtailPrincess Posted November 20, 2022 Report Posted November 20, 2022 "What can you do with a general" by Emma Cline. This selection was suggested by Sir North and they will be receiving a badge to display for picking our story. So we will start immediately. Below was a link provided for us to read for free! I want all of you to read until the sentence "At four o clock" then stop and we can all discuss! So for all of you reading this make sure not to read any further on this post until you are caught up. I wouldn't want any spoilers! Another question is that I have considered reading and recording our selections for people. Please let me know here if that is something that interests you. We will have 8 days to read the selection. So on November 28th I will release the next chunk for us to read. I am looking forward to this and hopefully we can all have fun and read some good short stories. Yours, Pigtail https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/02/04/what-can-you-do-with-a-general 1

Sometimes the most subtle details or mundane things can bring back unwanted memories. But I do enjoy the author’s writing ability. Aww I am sorry gigi! Feel free to not read this one! We should be done in a few weeks and maybe you could find something more lighthearted and suggest?
PigtailPrincess Posted November 24, 2022 Author Report Posted November 24, 2022 Ok guys sorry it took me a while but here it is. The recording of our first piece of reading! I do want to add trigger warnings for mentions of ||kidnapping and animal surgery|| Hope you enjoy! What Can You Do With a General by Emma Cline - recording 1.m4a 1

PigtailPrincess Posted December 14, 2022 Author Report Posted December 14, 2022 Welcome back to all who are reading "What can you do with a General" by Emma Cline. For this selection we will read from "Chloe set the table" to "The next day was Christmas eve" Just a small warning there is some bits about not healthy animals but I think it should be ok for most. I really actually think the pet thing could be a good discussion topic. Let me know what ypu guys think. This selection will be going until next Monday when I will read the next excerpt. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did 817718154_WhatcanyouDoWithaGeneral-part3.m4a
Guest CuriouslyIntrigued Posted December 29, 2022 Report Posted December 29, 2022 (edited) I got started a bit late.. I had so many questions as I was getting caught up. I love that tho. I love when a book can really get you thinking. I honestly never considered the point that John makes about us saving our pets being selfish. Edited December 29, 2022 by CuriouslyIntrigued
PigtailPrincess Posted January 10, 2023 Author Report Posted January 10, 2023 Ok everyone thank you for being patient! Between my birthday and the holidays things got busy. But I havnt forgotten you!!! Here is the final installment of "What can You Do with A General" by Emma Cline. Trigger warning there is mention of pet death, self harm, and some language. But it isn't anything I think you guys should need to worry abput. It's very brief. Feel free to discuss all of it now that we are done. You can even go tbrpigh and listen all together if you like and then post your thoughts. As I mentioned in the reading we will be doing something surrounding DDLG/ABDL this time. I am going to look on Wattpad and whatnot but am also taking suggestions (there is a special badge for whoever suggests the short story we choose!). What can you Do With A General - End!.m4a So I will see you in the next post! 1
