Hot Button Issue: A Roller Derby Witches Romance | Catrina Bell

bailed

DNF… Nope, I could not do it. It might be a great book but it was making me cringe and I just couldn‘t go any further. #8 on my #Roll100 for October.

Mooncakes | Suzanne Walker

Runaway werewolf Tam flees to their childhood friend Nova, seeking help with a dangerous destiny. As Nova and her witchy family work to save Tam, their friendship blossoms into love. A sweet, magical YA graphic novel, that's mainly plot focused but also includes themes of disability (Nova is hard-of-hearing) and queer identity.

Into the Wild | Jon Krakauer

pick

I was thinking about this book again because I was listing my favorite movies of the century (#8). So many passages resonated. The simple pleasures. The shock of the third world. The desperation. The awe. The disconnection from modern society. The discoveries of unknown ways of life. I too will die happy. I too, wanted freedom and got it. Was it worth it? It can't be answered. You can only live one life.

Flesh: A Novel | David Szalay

pick

This is #8 from the #bookerlonglist and another one I wasn‘t overly excited to pick up. There‘s a lot of (inappropriate) sex at the start and I really dislike that on audio ?.

As the book continued, though, I grew to like and appreciate the MC, István, even though he remains monosyllabic throughout a life that just seems to happen to him.

Currently, this would make my shortlist, albeit from a longlist where nothing is standing out yet.

Jas16 I am so curious about this one. I don‘t think I will like it but would love to be surprised. 3mo

AnneCecilie I loved his previous book that was on the Longlist a few years ago and have high hopes for this one 3mo

squirrelbrain I thought the same @jas16 but the MC evokes a curious kind of sympathy. (Or at least he did in me) I thought it might be all about toxic masculinity and it felt a bit like that at the start, but it did change as the book went on. 3mo

squirrelbrain @AnneCecilie - I haven‘t read anything else by this author.I may try the previous Booker-nominee. 3mo

BarbaraBB I had high hopes of this one because I loved some of his other books. I will now temper my expectations 3mo

Cathythoughts I was going to steer clear of this one, but now your review is making me curious , I‘ll give a go. I may have to skim over some of the sex though 😅 3mo

squirrelbrain I actually did like it @BarbaraBB - I‘m sure you will too if you like his other books! 3mo

squirrelbrain It‘s easier to skim in print @Cathythoughts - which is why I don‘t like sex scenes on audio…you can‘t skim-listen! 3mo

Caroline2 Hmm I‘m on the fence on this one. I‘m on the waiting list at library. Think it‘s defo a borrow not buy book for me. 3mo

Allowing extra time for finding the right terminal, getting through security, and finding the right gate in an airport you‘ve never been in results in much down time!

So I made another #BookEmojis game! Let‘s see if all can get guessed before I land for my layover!

Eggbeater 6 is The Night Circus and 7 is Charlotte's Web just off the top of my head 3mo

How is your summer going (or winter, for our friends in the Southern Hemisphere)? Here in the US, we are halfway through summer 😨. Have you read 7 of your #14Books14Weeks yet? Or have you abandoned the dry-haystack of pre-chosen books for greener pastures?

I magically finished my 7th book yesterday, which would be on track if my reading-vacation hadn't happened in June so I won't have nearly as much time to read the rest of the summer.

Liz_M Dang it, the Tags didn't stick! 3mo

sarahbarnes I‘m reading the 7th book from my stack right now! Like you, I‘m not sure I‘ll be as successful the rest of the summer so whether I‘ll finish the stack is TBD. I have definitely gotten distracted by some other books! 😂 3mo

Jas16 I have finished my 10th book of the stack and am halfway through the 11th so I on track to finish on time. 3mo

BookNAround I should probably check and see what books I originally put in my stack, eh? 😂 3mo

GinaKButler I‘m halfway through book number 7! (Which is an enormous improvement over the past two summers). 3mo

Mollyanna I‘ve read two, but have started 9 others 🤣. Does that count? Now, if I could only finish them… 3mo

Leniverse Er... I've read 21 books. But only two of them are from that stack of 14 ? I started a third but put it down "for a couple of days" about a month ago. ? I'm really not good at sticking to a plan. 3mo

Liz_M @sarahbarnes 7 is not bad, and distracting books seem so necessary these days! 3mo

Liz_M @Jas16 Amazing! 3mo

Liz_M @BookNAround 😂 I mean the best part of these challenges is choosing the books, right? 3mo

Liz_M @GinaKButler Congrats on the fantastic progress! 3mo

Liz_M @Mollyanna Hopefully you now know which ones you actually want to finish? 😁 3mo

Liz_M @Leniverse Plans are made to be deviated from! 3mo

Read4life I‘ve finished 8 and I‘m currently reading #9. 3mo

Ruthiella I‘m not doing that well! 😅 Only two read so far and one in the works. I will do some catching up in August, hopefully.🤞 3mo

Lcsmcat I‘m ahead, with 11 books. So even if I run into problems later I think I‘ll make it. 😀 3mo

Bookwormjillk I haven‘t started 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 3mo

Librarybelle I haven‘t started either, @Bookwormjillk . My stack is sitting on my dresser, judging me. 😂 3mo

Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle I turned mine around so they couldn‘t judge me 3mo

Librarybelle @Bookwormjillk 😂 3mo

Liz_M @Read4life Excellent! 3mo

Liz_M @Ruthiella Having read more than one is a win as far as I'm concerned! 🤓 3mo

Liz_M @Lcsmcat Impressive! 3mo

Liz_M @Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle Cats and pleasure reading is the priority this summer, so make sure your pets put those judgy books in their place (presumably by knocking the stack to the floor, if your cats are like mine 😂) 3mo

Librarybelle @Liz_M I should move my stack to the nightstand; Xander loved knocking down the books there in the middle of the night! 😂 3mo

squirrelbrain I‘m reading 12 and 13 at the moment! #smugface 😜 3mo

AllDebooks @squirrelbrain Wow, well done! 👏 3mo

AllDebooks I'm starting #8 of 14. 📚😀📚

Things that are

3mo

Zuhkeeyah I‘m now starting book no. 7! The stack is next to the couch so I can‘t ignore it 3mo

Gissy No, im behind but i am working to finish them by September. It is a great idea because my tbr are a stack of books received in different swaps. So it is a an exited challenge 📚😃👌 3mo

Liz_M @squirrelbrain Congrats! You must have chosen your books wisely! 3mo

Liz_M @AllDebooks Nice, you're right on track! 3mo

Liz_M @Zuhkeeyah Smart move! Unless of course one wants to lie down on that exact spot. 🤓 3mo

Liz_M @Gissy Good way to add some extra motivation for the challenge, well done! 3mo

mom2bugnbee I wasn't even counting but I just started book 8! Huzzah! 😁 3mo

Liz_M @mom2bugnbee Huzzah, indeed! 3mo

Catsandbooks I've only read 2, but it seems lots of others are in the same boat as me 3mo

CSeydel I‘ve read 4, largely because I‘ve been working my way through a chunkster instead 3mo

squirrelbrain @AllDebooks @liz_m I‘m just a list completist….set me a challenge and I *have* to do it! 3mo

BennettBookworm I‘m definitely behind but hoping to catch up!! 3mo

Liz_M @Catsandbooks Sounds like a win to me to me, you've read more than one from the stack! 😊 3mo

Liz_M @CSeydel Four books plus a chunkster? Amazing! 3mo

Liz_M @BennettBookworm Nicely done. Seven weeks is plenty of time to catch up! 3mo

Aconight @Liz_M I read 4 from the list. But have been reading other physical books on my shelves. Need to finish an ARC then back to the stack 💕 3mo

Liz_M @Aconight Sounds like your making some good progress on your tbr, regardless of what list/stack they are on! 3mo

Book #8 of 2025: “Post” by Leo Herrera

Whatever your gender or sexuality, you should read this book. A compilation of social media posts from June 2020-November 2023, Herrera highlights COVID, grief, HIV and AIDS, queer history, the history of queerphobia, and more. I read this book slowly over several weeks and plan to reread it regularly.
