@Butterfinger treated me today to the most amazing visit and lunch at the Daniel Boone Inn Restaurant. What a wonderful person you are Tammy! And your daughter (who took our photo) too! We had a great time. Clearly we‘ve already been friends a long time even if we hadn‘t met in person before. And this restaurant was so unique. A one of a kind and delicious experience. I‘ll treasure this #litsymeetup forever.

TheBookHippie Oh how lovely!!! ♥️♥️♥️ 3w

thebacklistbook @dabbe enjoy your time in Canada! Check out lots of local bookshops! 1mo

LiseWorks You might not want to leave lol 1mo

TheLudicReader @dabbe well, this just makes it real(er)! So exciting. @merelybookish I am hoping to organize a Litsy get together…hope you‘ll be able to come. I will keep you posted as plans develop. @ShelleyBooksie and @DinoMom are planning to join too. 1mo

merelybookish @TheLudicReader Yes do keep me posted! I wondered if @dabbe was coming to NB. Not an easy place to get to but well worth it once you get here. 😀 1mo

dabbe @thebacklistbook We will! 😍 1mo

dabbe @LiseWorks You may be right! 😍 1mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader Yay! 😍 1mo

dabbe @merelybookish It'll be a long haul from Phoenix, AZ! I have a 2-hour layover in Toronto, then I'll get on a smaller plan to NB. I haven't flown since 1998; I'm excited and terrified! 😍 1mo

tpixie @dabbe this is so exciting! And a #LitsyMeetUp ! Enjoy the beauty of Canada! I hope to go again in the next few years 🇨🇦 (edited) 1mo

dabbe @tpixie TY! RE: the country, I'm mostly looking forward to greenery, water, and cool weather! 💚💙💚 1mo

Dragon Hope you enjoy your visit to Canada 🇨🇦 - I‘m on the West Coast and it‘s beautiful here 1mo

Texreader @AnnCrystal Flying is the pits. Where are you? 1mo

dabbe @Texreader TY! 🩵💙🩵 1mo

julesG @Texreader Totally worth it!!! Fond memories of meeting you and the family in London. 1mo

AnnCrystal @Texreader California 🐻💝 in the County of Angels 👐💝 (aka Los Angeles County). I hear there may be flying cars in the next few years...maybe I will give that a try 🤥😂. 1mo

dabbe @julesG 🩵💙🩵 1mo

Dragon Thanks @dabbe - Washington State along the coast is lovely too ❤️🐉 1mo

dabbe @Dragon I have been lucky enough to driven from Phoenix all the way to Bremerton, WA, most of it along the coast. It was my solo driving trip of a lifetime. The word “gorgeous“ doesn't even come close to describing the beauty I saw. I got as far as Port Townsend but never got into Canada! 😍 1mo

Dragon Sounds like a wonderful trip. So glad you‘re coming to visit Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️🐉 1mo

dabbe @Dragon ♥️🇨🇦♥️ 1mo

The Princess of Las Vegas | Chris Bohjalian

Last night, I had the privilege of hearing @ChrisBohjalian speak about his new book at my local #indiebookstore, Quail Ridge Books. What made it even better was having my friends and fellow Littens @MallenNC and @Graciouswarriorprincess there too!
This book sounds so good and I can‘t wait to read it!

Unsure: Life, Death and Everything in Between | David Kuhn

**updt: got the deets**
Have to vent but yowza!! I have a job interview on Monday and was waiting to get “more details” but . . . Crickets 🦗 🦗🦗

This is not good, right? Or do they need me to right-the-ship?! Actually, I don‘t think I would be in any role that requires “ship-righting”, but still.

Anyway 🎉 I *think* I have a job interview on Monday at 8:30 am even if I have to just show up and ask for the President 🥴🤣

Pecan pie for 🦃

jlhammar Pies look amazing! Good luck with your interview. 2y

tpixie Those pecan pies 🥧 🥧 look delicious! Pecan pies are my favorite 🤎 I may have to drive across Kansas 🌻 to eat a slice! You will do great with your interview! I think some places just don‘t follow up with confirmations like they used to… No 2y

Tamra Oh good grief, do those pies look ahhhhmaaazzzing?! Crossing my fingers for you & job. 🤞🏾 2y

Larkken 😖 that sounds frustrating! I hope it's worth the anxiety! 2y

Ruthiella Hope it all works out! 2y

bthegood Pies look great - go to interview and knock it out of the park! 🙂 2y

BkClubCare @jlhammar - Thank you, thank you. I am pleased with the pie effort but yowza, takes me all day 🤣 I am taking a positive and curious attitude to the interview; hoping it is for me as much as they think I would be good at it. (Academic Advising) 2y

BkClubCare @tpixie - If you need a recipe for a non-Karo pecan pie, search it on my blog 👀 🥧 I hope that my calling the contact at 5:15pm shows that I respect deadlines 😃 2y

BkClubCare @Tamra - Thank you! I need to be all laissez faire about it all; if I seem needy and desperate it will fall apart. Happy 🥧 and 🦃 2y

BkClubCare @Larkken - extremely frustrating and anxiety-producing. Not nice to put candidates in such a position (and a bad look) They finally sent an email; I can be back to excited again. 2y

BkClubCare @Ruthiella - Thanks Ruthiella! Excited for TOB?!? 😁 2y

BkClubCare @bthegood - OKAY! Will do. I am excited; I am so intrigued by the role and think that a University would be a cool place to be. (Yeah, I have heard the horror stories, too…) Happy Thanksgiving 2y

tpixie @BkClubCare started reading your blog. I recently read The Killers of the Flower Moon, so the book pairing will be perfect! ( the Scorsese movie had great acting, costumes, and scenery, but was oh so slow… )

bthegood @BkClubCare I work at a University - I love it - good luck and Happy Thanksgiving - 2y

bookaholic1 Yummy pecan pie! 2y

Larkken @BkClubCare yay that's great! Good luck!! 2y

BkClubCare @tpixie - I tried to order Mean Spirit from Watermarks, BUT. Was told that the publisher is considering printing more - none available at this time. We should organize a campaign! 2y

BkClubCare @tpixie - yes! A meetup would great. 2y

tpixie @BkClubCare I‘ll call there too! Yes! Too bad bad I don‘t have more influence on Instagram! 2y

Man Booker Prize | Frederic P Miller, Agnes F Vandome, John McBrewster

Here‘s my own shortlist for the #bookerprize, in order of favourites.

I‘m cheating a bit by having TWO lists as, whilst these are my faves, I don‘t think they‘ll all make the list.

Bird-Hearts, In Ascension and Prophet Song should make the list. Study for Obedience will be on there because I hated it (!). And I think This Other Eden and Western Lane are more Booker-y than some of those above.

Looking forward to the *actual* list tomorrow!

Cinfhen, ClairesReads, TheKidUpstairs, charl08, BookwormM, vlwelser, JamieArc, BarbaraBB, sarahbarnes

BarbaraBB You make me curious about In Ascension! I have my copy ready! We have many shared favorites but I agree they probably won‘t all make the shortlist. I am almost sure This Other Eden and Obedience will be on it… unfortunately! 2y

JamieArc I‘ve only read 3 Longlist books, but looking forward to seeing the shortlist so I can determine what‘s next. Hoping for Little Birds and the Eng book, which doesn‘t come out in the US til mid October anyway. 2y

Cinfhen I watched a few BookTubers today and they seem to be all over the place with likes and dislikes so who knows what tomorrow will bring🤷🏼‍♀️Hopefully it‘s not a total bust 2y

See All 41 Comments

AnneCecilie I‘ve haven‘t read many from this year‘s longlist, but I will be very happy if The House of Doors make it. I bailed on This Other Eden and have hardly seen any positive reviews of Obedience so won‘t rush to read that. 2y

squirrelbrain I‘d love House of Doors to make it @JamieArc @AnneCecilie , but I‘m just not sure it‘s ‘Booker‘ enough. Ie it‘s not that weird! 🤣 2y

squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB - In Ascension seems like the right mix of slightly weird and a great storyline. (To me anyway, others have found it boring!) 2y

squirrelbrain @Cinfhen - I‘m sure it will be the exact opposite of what I think! 🤣 2y

BarbaraBB I have high hopes! 2y

Cinfhen Definitely makes for an exciting announcement!!!! 2y

TrishB I also may bring The House of Doors to Gladstone‘s 😁 2y

squirrelbrain I think you‘ll like it @TrishB 2y

sarahbarnes I‘m happy to see your shortlist! 2y

jlhammar Great to see your faves! Excited for the shortlist announcement. 2y

Cinfhen Is Gladstone‘s this weekend?? @TrishB I REALLY want to join one day- lmk your next meetup!!! 2y

squirrelbrain @Cinfhen - it‘s a week today! We‘ll probably book next years dates before we leave. It‘s likely to be a similar time next year but we‘ll let you know for sure! @TrishB 2y

Cinfhen Yay!!!! I hope it works out 🙏🏼 2y

TrishB @Cinfhen that would be cool 😁 I‘m so excited about next week! 2y

Cinfhen Maybe @BarbaraBB could join too!!! #GladstoneRetreat @TrishB 2y

TrishB @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB even better! Barbara - they fly Amsterdam to Liverpool 😁 2y

BarbaraBB @TrishB @squirrelbrain @Cinfhen That would be so fantastic! Let me know the dates and see if we can make this work 🤞🏽🤞🏽😘 and yes Trish I‘d fly to Liverpool! Love to see it! (edited) 2y

Cinfhen I‘m dying to visit Liverpool too @BarbaraBB @TrishB 2y

squirrelbrain Ooh ooh @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB - that would be so exciting! 🎉🎉🎉 2y

Cinfhen Right… it would be AWESOME @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain 2y

BarbaraBB Let‘s really consider this! @Cinfhen @squirrelbrain @TrishB 2y

Cinfhen @BarbaraBB @TrishB @squirrelbrain when do you think your next meet up might be? Winter time or Spring? 2y

squirrelbrain @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB @TrishB - probably the same time next year, but we‘ll let you know once we‘ve decided. 😃 2y

BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain 👍🏽 2y

Cinfhen Ok - thanks @squirrelbrain for some reason I thought you guys meet twice a year 🤪 2y

squirrelbrain Gladstone‘s is once a year @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB @TrishB but of course we can do something else at a different time of year / different place if it suits you guys better. #litsymeetup in Amsterdam?! 😃 (edited) 2y

TrishB Now you‘re talking Helen 😁 @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen you‘ll probably have a whole years notice to plan! 2y

Cinfhen Hahaha @TrishB @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain - Helen…we‘ll let you and Trish discuss next week where & when our international meetup should take place! 2y

Cinfhen Also, the shortlist is AWFUL! 2y

squirrelbrain Yep, terrible! @cinfhen Although my guess at what would make the list (rather than what I liked) wasn‘t that bad! 2y

BarbaraBB @Cinfhen @Squirrel super frustrated by the shortlist. And yes Helen, you and @trishb discuss it next week. Amsterdam is fine of course, you‘re very welcome but man, I‘d love to see Liverpool 😂 2y

squirrelbrain Maybe a Northern England tour?! We could do Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and York. @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB @TrishB 2y

BarbaraBB Is that including Gladstone? It would be great to combine it all! 2y

squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB - we could include Gladstone‘s too! 2y

quietlycuriouskate I've concluded I would much rather read the Squirrel Prize Shortlist than the Booker Prize one. 2y

ClairesReads What did you think of the Shortlist in the end? 2y

squirrelbrain @ClairesReads - I really didn‘t like it; mainly (4) my least favourite books! What did you think? 2y

squirrelbrain Lol @quietlycuriouskate - maybe I should launch my own annual prize! 2y
