AllDebooks Any suggestions welcome for our #buddyread I was thinking of summer in Corfu

My Family and Other Animals

19h

AllDebooks @Librarybelle I hope so x 19h

AllDebooks @mcctrish @julieclair Yay 💐🌞💐 19h

BookwormAHN Yay 🌻 18h

Bookwormjillk Fun! I‘m in! 17h

Lunakay Please add me too! 17h

ElizaMarie What are we reading? 15h

quietjenn Sure thing! 15h

AllDebooks @ElizaMarie I was thinking My family and other animals but waiting on any other suggestions 🙂 15h

Soscha My personal inclination is for scary to semi-scary summer camp/campire tales stuff. MrBallen has a graphic to that nature coming out. That one‘s not coming coming out until October. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/742533/mrballen-presents-strange-dark-a... 14h

Soscha Not sure how popular the topic would be with all here but there are other books that would serve for summer. 14h

Soscha Has anyone considered starting a Litsy Bookclub on Fable? 13h

Soscha And I just put this is on TBR. It‘s YA & a fun, light scare. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63249817 12h

BookwormAHN @Soscha How about

The Elementals

11h

Soscha Yes! That was another title that‘d been recommended for summer suspense. I‘ve heard his work is quite good. 10h

AllDebooks @Soscha I'm not on Fable atm. Tbh I haven't been that engaged on social media this year. I'll look into it. 4m

AllDebooks @Soscha thanks for these recommendations, they look great. I would add these to my tbr but they don't really fit with the hygge vibe. 2m

Running Home to Shadows: Memories of TV's First Supernatural Soap from Today's Grown-Up Kids | Elizabeth Massie, Nancy Holder, Charles R. Rutledge

Repost from @rubyslippersreads Come join us!
Any Littens with fond memories of Dark Shadows? We are starting a #buddyread of the tagged book, and we‘d be thrilled to have you join us for our journey back to Collinwood.

We‘re starting today with the Foreword by DS actress Kathryn Leigh Scott and Introduction by the author. A chapter a day after that, but please feel free to jump in at any time. 🦇

tpixie @rubyslippersreads thx! 1d

CatLass007 @rubyslippersreads Thank you. @tpixie I can‘t read ebooks because of eye strain. 1d

tpixie @CatLass007 🩷 I hope you can find the audio or book 📕 (edited) 1d

CatLass007 @tpixie It‘s not available in audio and my book funds for the month are exhausted. I can‘t decide which is more precious the money I have to spend on books or the time to read all the books I already have. 1d

UwannaPublishme Yay! Love meeting fellow Dark Shadows fans! @tpixie @CatLass007 Oh, I‘m tempted now to rewatch the show too. 1d

rubyslippersreads @CatLass007 Even if you can‘t read the book, I think you should join us anyway. It‘s always fun to talk about DS. 😊 21h

tpixie @CatLass007 Luckily, there certainly are plenty of other books to read also!!! I‘m working on going through my bookshelves to save money. Good luck finding your next read!! (edited) 21h

rubyslippersreads @CatLass007 Even if you can‘t read the book, I think you should join us anyway. It‘s always fun to talk about DS. 😊 21h

rubyslippersreads @CatLass007 This looks possibly helpful: How to Turn Any Ebook Into an Audiobook https://youtu.be/OQLunr8-gCU?si=_HzhTI9rllw37dNx 21h

UwannaPublishme @CatLass007 I‘m also trying to read all the TBRs gathering dust on my many bookshelves. I hope you‘ll still join in and share your DS stories. Us DS fans have a special bond. 17h

UwannaPublishme @tpixie Hope you can join us! I have quite a few DS books on my shelves. This may be the start of several DS #buddyreads 😊🦇 17h

tpixie @rubyslippersreads that was an interesting video! Thanks for sharing! 13h

tpixie @UwannaPublishme I did download the e-book. I‘m going to try to fit it in. It sounds like fun. 13h

rubyslippersreads @UwannaPublishme mentioned other DS books. If anyone has Hoopla, quite a few of the Marilyn Ross novels are available as audiobooks, read by Kathryn Leigh Scott. 11h

rubyslippersreads @UwannaPublishme 👍🏻🦇 1d

UwannaPublishme Perfect to have Kathryn Leigh Scott write the foreword! It‘s stirring up so many memories already! My cousin was one of the many fans who hung out outside the NY studio. She‘d call us and report the scoop. I was so jealous when she met Chris Jennings (the first werewolf). I thought he was so cute. I also love how Dan Curtis consulted the fans about a story arc. We did get so immersed in the details, didn‘t we? 16h

It's time for nominations for June's #ClassicLSFBC selection. Hopefully, everyone was able to get a copy of May's selection, Snow Crash, and is enjoying it. Nominations will begin today and go on until the 23rd.
I'll start the nominations with my choice, Deus Irae, written by two legends, Philp K. Dick & Roger Zelazny.

repost for @TheSpineView:

Nominations are now open to pick our June book for #LitsySciFiBookClub Please suggest one book you would like to read that falls into the Sci-Fi genre. Offshoots like Space Opera works too. Since I'm on vacation starting tomorrow, and will have little to no internet, the voting will remain open until the 23rd.

Hope everyone is coming along with May's selection, The Three Body Problem.

Loved this! Another audio that had me talking out loud further cementing my crazy status with the neighbours 👏🏻👏🏻 I can‘t wait to chat it up at the end of the month with #literarycrew #buddyread the midwifery component was really fascinating ❤️ the disparaging/disposable way men treated women in the past 🤬 they should be happy we want to be equal and not vindictive

Librarybelle So glad you liked this!! 5d

Combined #BookReport and #WeeklyForecast :

I started off strong last week, completing a few books and continuing with various #buddyread selections. Some books had to go back to the library, so are on pause.

This week, I anticipate completing a couple #buddyread titles and also going through my library book stack - my eyes are way bigger than my belly #somanybookssolittletime .

My IRL book club meets this week too, so I must start that book.
