Dr. No | Percival Everett

Jill, thank you so much for my #FallingforFallSwap #FFFS package! I‘m thrilled that you indulged my continued obsession with Percival Everett —this was literally the next book of his that I wanted to read! I also love the tote bag, bookmark, candy and stickers. Happy autumn, my friend! 🍁🍁🍁🍂🍂

AmyG Oooo a Percival E book. I am reading The Trees now and he has become a real favorite. 2d

Bookwormjillk Yay! I read it this year for #AuthorAMonth and it was wild. I might need to read it again to actually understand it. I hope you like it! 2d

Mother Night: A Novel | Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut is one of my favorite authors but the voice of the narrator distracted from the voice of the author too much for me in this one.

Frankenstein | Mary Shelley

My tbr list for #hauntedshelf #letsgopoints. Ambitious but I still have my other challenges ongoing, Octavia Butler books for #authoramonth and #Samoa books for #foodandlit. I‘m very excited about these books even though I know I won‘t get to them all. Must also include my #whattheDickens books!!

Rereads: Frankenstein, Dracula, books 1-2 of All Souls. I‘d love to finish all these books beyond the trilogy!

The Bodies in the Library | Marty Wingate

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished this one on the plane yesterday for #ThematicCozies September #Books This bookish cozy had been in my TBR for ages & I love the author‘s gardening & bird-related series, so it‘s no wonder I enjoyed this one. Set in Bath, the MC, Haley, curates a library foundation dedicated to the Golden Age of Mysteries even though her literary preferences & studies were not about mysteries. When the leader of a group of ⬇️

DebinHawaii … Agatha Christie fan fiction writers turns up dead in the library room, she‘s on the case to solve it. I liked Hayley (divorced mom with a college-age daughter) & found the mystery pretty good (it kept me guessing) & all the references to mysteries & other books are fun. I‘ll read the next book. Also, the foundation‘s tortie cat named Bunter is adorable.🐈💛 Thanks to my #AuthorAMonth reading of Dorthy L Sayers, I knew the name.😉 (edited) 4d

If This Isn't Nice, What Is? (Even More) Expanded Third Edition: The Graduation Speeches and Other Words to Live By | Kurt Vonnegut

pick

I started several Vonnegut novels and couldn‘t get thru them. A little too dark for me. So I settled on this compilation of his speeches. Kurt was very quotable and had many powerful messages to impart. I applaud him for his empathy, his courage to speak the truth & for being such a survivor. After listening to the wonderfully detailed biographical intro included with this audiobook, I may need to read one of his bios.

God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

willaful I always remember it as “Damn it babies, you've got to be kind“ which isn't quite correct but I like it better. 5d

MemoirsForMe @Ruthiella @willaful I love that kindness is his top priority. But I should have known Kurt would add a few more colorful expletives. 😉 5d

Mrs Dalloway | Virginia Woolf

I‘ve tried audio, ebook, and even my daughter‘s copy of the book. None have worked for me. I‘m 60 pages from finishing it and I just can‘t do it. I have zero motivation to read this book. So about two months since Woolf was #authoramonth (July) I‘ve finally decided to bail. @Soubhiville

ChaoticMissAdventures I read this one in college and thought it was one of her better ones. Her racism always seems to stop me in my tracks on the couple of others I have tried to read. 5d

For crying out loud Vonnegut, stop meandering on about yourself and write a damn story!

Welcome to the Monkey House | Kurt Vonnegut

Whew! Is this book outdated or what? Most of the stories in this book (about 75%) are good to great. Some stories, however, either completely lost me or were just not that good. And then there are the few that are just ewww. Take the story that is also the title of book—a bit misogynistic or worse? Set in the future, a 70+ woman is a virgin, who is kidnapped and then “subjected” to sex (it‘s not apparently meant to be considered “rape” from the ⬇️

Texreader way in which the story is told), so she can eventually learn how wonderful it is. Then there‘s the story told about the evil Chinese ruler who forces kidnapped American soldiers and the commander‘s family to be the chess pieces moved by the commander. Those taken out of the game are taken out of the land of the living. The evil foreigners are stereotypical. His famous Harrison Bergeron is one of several interesting dystopias. Miss Temptation is ⬇️ 1w

Texreader a favorite, and one that every incel should read. It‘s a great lesson in how to be the true you and how to treat others. Unready to Wear is pretty cool and reminds me of an old Star Trek episode: what happens when some of humanity learn to escape their bodies and continue to thrive? After Monkey House I was ready to bail but I‘m glad I stuck with it for the good stories that prevail in this collection. #authoramonth @Soubhiville (edited) 1w

Soubhiville Eeewwww, sounds like some cringy stuff. Glad it wasn‘t all terrible. 1w

Player Piano | Kurt Vonnegut

I totally failed to get through this when I first acquired it. I think I needed to be a bit more adultish to appreciate it. Another one freed from the secret TBR cupboard!

Timequake | Kurt Vonnegut

bailed

Well.

I got to a quarter deep and just couldn‘t continue. I‘m sure there‘s more inviting Vonnegut to try instead but this was all that was available in my library at this moment. I told myself I‘d allow one author to be DNF if situation called, I guess this one‘s it for me. #AuthorAMonth
