BookishMarginalia I used to read the #OprahBookClub picks once upon a time. Now I dabble in different picks as the mood strikes. My fave book club read this year is from my Monday book club: 1w
RaeLovesToRead I've only just heard about the Audacious book club and now I am excited! 🥰 1w
lil1inblue @RaeLovesToRead Tell me more.... 🤓 1w

RaeLovesToRead @lil1inblue It's Roxane Gay's book club! 1w
lil1inblue I read so many good books this year; it's hard to pick. But this is one that I wish I had read with a group, because it was soooo good: 1w
AmyG No clue what book that is. I used to read Oprah‘s, too. Now I find that I am wnjoying some of Jenna Bush‘s books. 1w
lil1inblue @RaeLovesToRead OMG, now I'm excited, too! *runs to google* 1w
dabbe What a fun game! I enjoyed finishing the #noplacelikeholmes buddy read where we read the whole canon. I also enjoyed finished the #shardlakebr where we read all the Matthew Shardlake books by C.J. Sansom. And I loved all the books we read this year with the #hashtagbrigade, led by the invincible @BarkingMadRead. 🩵☃️🩶 1w
TheBookHippie @RaeLovesToRead oh I‘m so in for this. 1w
TheBookHippie I have tried IRL Bookclub 😵‍💫🫣 they don‘t read the book and get together to bash their partners and I want no part of that. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 back in the day I would check out Oprah but it‘s been a long long long time. My favourite “bookclub” is my #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD and I think our November book was my favorite (edited) 1w
TheBookgeekFrau I read Flowers for Algernon for an IRL bookclub. Haven't followed a celebrity book club since the OG Oprah one. I have to say I kind of resent those book club seals on book covers; they interfere with the esthetic 😤 As for the trivia question yeah, no clue 😂 1w
Karisa @TheBookHippie That was my experience too! So awkward showing up as the only one that wanted to talk about the book. 🤓😂🤣 1w
Karisa I‘ve read so many great ones this year with Litsy people! Life with Picasso, 1984, Fearless, Woodworking, Wild Dark Shore, and The Death of the Author are some that first come to mind. Always a great discussion with the book groups on Litsy! 🥰💗🥰💗 1w
TheBookHippie @Karisa SOLIDARITY. 1w
lil1inblue @karisa @TheBookHippie I'm glad I'm not alone in my IRL book club experience. ? Not only do they not read or discuss the book, but it always ends up being a book I'm meh about reading. I much prefer litsy "clubs". ? 1w
Karisa @lil1inblue 🎯 🥰 1w
WanderingBookaneer @TheBookHippie and @Karisa : I run a book club, Books on Tap, that meets at a local brewery. We don‘t have assigned books. People just share what they read during the past month. Some of us bring books to hand out after we‘ve read them. 1w
TheBookHippie @WanderingBookaneer I want to join. ♥️ 1w
Karisa @WanderingBookaneer That‘s the way to do it! 😊🥰 1w
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick The tagged is probably the best of book club fiction that I read this year. I don't really follow many of the celebrity ones. If I happen to choose one they've selected, great, but I tend to like things a little weird and they're usually very standard books. 1w
Cupcake12 I loved reading this book club read. I don‘t normally like historical reads but this captured my heart from the start. I dolly the Happy Place Book club by Fearne Cotton - a tv presenter, podcaster in the UK. 1w
tpixie @WanderingBookaneer that‘s a cool 😎 sounding Bookclub!! 1w
tpixie I generally don‘t read celebrity book club books although I did just love Sarah Jessica Parker‘s imprint book I Am You that a few of my recent post about. My in real life Bookclub also doesn‘t stand focus or go as in depth because I would like to go with a Bookclub, but I‘ve continued because it‘s the only social thing I do each month. I get much more out of my #LitsyBuddyReads and @litsybookclub books. 1w
LeafingThroughLife I used to follow Oprah‘s Book Club pretty closely, but lately I think I, probably unwittingly, am following Reese‘s Book Club with more success. This year, I loved 4d

EllanaRose Can I ask what you're using to track your reading? 7y
MoniqueReads305 @EllanaRose For physical books I'm using Bookly. It's an Apple app that tracks you pages and time read. 7y
EllanaRose Ah. Thanks! I'm an android user 7y

#JuneItsElectrifying Day 28: The Storm Sister seems perfect for #ItsElectrifying day. It‘s taking me awhile to get to the second book in this series because of #BOTMBookClub and #LitsyBuddyReads. We shall see how it goes. Paired with husband‘s olive oil and garlic pasta with scallops on the side.

Crazeedi This series is the best!👍❤❤ 7y
vkois88 Sounds intriguing! 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Sounds good!!!! And that looks yummy 😋 7y

Because Father‘s Day, we go to our happy place with cheese enchilada soup, appetizer platter, our free baby back ribs (thanks to our frequent user card), and the molten choc cake that never ever gets old. And yes to upcoming #LitsyBuddyReads. Still no physical copy of Circe available, so borrowed this one first.

Cinfhen Looks delicious 😋 I‘m half way through this book...it took me 160 pages to become invested in the story, but now I‘m into it. 7y
BookishMe I reluctantly paused Circe on Overdrive and my reservation request for the physical copy is pending too 7y
