Cinemaps: An Atlas of 35 Great Movies | Andrew DeGraff, A.D. Jameson

In no order:
*Laura Dern (What a filmography! Here are just a few of my favorites: Wild At Heart, Blue Velvet, Jurassic Park, The Master)
*Amy Adams (Some favorites: Arrival, Sharp Objects, Vice)
*For relatively new talent, no doubt my favorite is Lily Gladstone based off of her incredible performance in Killers of The Flower Moon (the first Native American to win a Golden Globe for Best Actress in Motion Picture Drama & the first to ever (CONT)

dabbe 🖤 all 3! Thanks for sharing! 💜🧡💜 5d

vivastory nominated for the same category in the Oscars.
Honorable mentions-Scream Queens would be a tie between Samara Weaving (for the excellent Ready Or Not & the fantastic Mayhem with Steven Yeun) & Sigourney Weaver (just for Alien). Anna Karina (esp the collaborations w/ JP Belmondo), Tilda Swinton (gloriously weird), Toni Collette, Helena Bonham Carter etc

AmyG My favorite is Laura Dern in Enlightened…the HBO series. 5d

vivastory @AmyG I'll check it out! I just recently renewed my HBO subscription. I watched 1 excellent series & 1 atrocious series lol. 5d

vivastory @ImperfectCJ I need to check out White Lotus. I saw that she's in it 5d

ImperfectCJ @vivastory I loved her in the 2019 Little Women and the Star Wars Episode VIII. And Mask, from waaay back 5d

vivastory @ImperfectCJ I need to check out Little Women. I wanted to read it first. I tried to do so a couple of yrs ago & I just couldn't focus at the time. 5d

Leftcoastzen Laura Dern has such a range! 5d

Cathythoughts I‘m a Laura Dern fan too. 5d

Lesliereadsalot Have always loved Amy Adams since Junebug almost 20 years ago! 5d

Billypar @AmyG I'm watching Enlightened now - it's so good! I found out about it via Emily Nussbaum's book that I just finished. I've never seen a disappointing Laura Dern performance. I even enjoyed the weirdest one - Scott, have you seen Inland Empire?

I Like to Watch: Arguing My Way Through the TV Revolution

AmyG @Billypar I am a huge Mike White fan….so of course I loved this series. I was sad it was only 2 seasons. 4d

vivastory @Billypar I did see Inland Empire. I was lucky enough to see the two most recent David Lynch movies when they were first released in theatres. I def need to revisit Inland etc as I recall little of it. 4d

Billypar It's no Mulholland Drive, but it does have the distinction of being the only movie to make me yell out loud during one of the surprising nightmarish parts (luckily I was at home and not at the theater 😱😆) 4d

vivastory @Billypar No shame yelling out loud during a David Lynch movie. I remember that happening when I saw Mulholland Drive 😂 4d

Plotted: A Literary Atlas | Andrew DeGraff, Daniel Harmon

so-so

I should have loved this book, and I had high hopes based on my previous experience with Cinemaps by the same artist/author. This one was disappointing because the books featured in the illustrations were overwhelmingly obscure. Even with an English degree, I found myself skipping about half of the books, since there were so many I hadn‘t even heard of and had no context for. Highlights were the “maps” of Pride & Prejudice and A Wrinkle in Time.

The Cartographers | Peng Shepherd

so-so

Well, I don't know what to say. I think it was the cover that drew me in first (so pretty), and the whole premise was really interesting, but then some major plot holes started to appear and I wasn't really satisfied with the ending. ☹️

tpixie That‘s disappointing…. 1w

starlight97 @tpixie yeah 😔 1w

Dear #OokBOokClub-ers,

I am proposing a #Discworld re-read based on the above reading guide. #SirTerryPratchett himself suggested starting with Sourcery, so that's what I'd suggest too.

I can draw up a reading schedule.

Your thoughts?

Let me know if you want to be tagged in future postings.

Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Explain Everything About the World | Tim Marshall

This was interesting, but dated at this point- it was published in 2016. I read it for #FoodAndLit #SouthKorea but the Latin American chapter was my favorite.

Texreader, Catsandbooks

Texreader Sounds really interesting 1mo

Kristy_K I have this sitting on my bookshelves still unread. Worth the read still or too irrelevant now? 1mo

Bookwormjillk @Kristy_K I think it‘s still worth the read since it wasn‘t too long, and gave some good history behind what‘s happening in the world today. I wish this author would update the book though. 1mo

Kristy_K @Bookwormjillk Thank you! 1mo

Catsandbooks How cool! 🙌🏼🇰🇷 1mo

Thank you all, dear #OokBOokClub-ers!

We've read our way through the #PratchettVerse. It was a pleasure hosting the #ReadAlong and discussing the books with you.

Thank you to @TricksyTails for starting the #EpicBuddyread. I took over hosting in the autumn of 2018 (thank you, @DGRachel, for helping me find my feet) and I'm sure to miss my regular calendar alarms reminding me to send off the next #OokBOokClub posts.

What are we reading next?

willaful Start over? 😁 2mo

julesG @willaful Definitely an option. 2mo

See All 19 Comments

kwmg40 I would love starting over, as I joined this buddy read late and never caught up. I‘ve finished about a third of the books. However, I‘d totally understand the rest of the group wanting to move on and do something new! 2mo

TheSpineView I would like to choose another author. However, I did miss a lot because I went down several rabbit holes. 2mo

kwmg40 Another author would be fine with me, but if we do end up rereading Pratchett's books, maybe we can start with a collection (such as City Watch or Witches) instead of reading through all the books in publication order? 2mo

julesG @kwmg40 I like that idea of reading the collections. But I'm also up for a new author, @TheSpineView. 2mo

BookmarkTavern I‘d love either way! This has been an utter delight! 2mo

julesG @BookmarkTavern @TheSpineView @kwmg40 @willaful - Re: re-reading Pratchett -- I'd want to do Discworld collections. I'm not very keen on (re-)reading The Long Earth series, but would be up to re-read the children's books (Carpet People, Maurice, etc.). Re: different author, my thoughts -- a) it should be an author with at least 12 books under their belt to get us through a year at least, b) it should be "light" reading, c) ⬇️ 2mo

julesG c) books should be easy to access, neither of us wants to comb through archives or spend lots of money on collectors' copies, d) I'm open to suggestions 2mo

TheSpineView @julesG As a reread are you thinking an author in the same vein? Like Neil Gaiman? 2mo

julesG @TheSpineView Gaiman came to mind, but he has some doorstoppers (American Gods). Also thought Jasper Fforde and Ben Aaronovitch. Jodi Taylor might work too. Further Chesterton and Wodehouse, who were both influences for Pratchett. 2mo

julesG And if we stick to a Pratchett re-read then I'd want to do The Witches, Death, The Watch,... 2mo

kwmg40 If we're going outside the fantasy genre, Chesterton and Wodehouse would be OK with me. Within fantasy, maybe Martha Wells or Seanan McGuire (who also writes as Mira Grant)? Their works aren't necessarily “light“ as in humorous but they tend to be quick to read and there are lots of novella-length works. 2mo

kwmg40 If we stay with Pratchett, my top choices would be City Watch or Industrial as collections, as I have the most gaps in those collections, but any would be fine with me. 2mo

SconsinBookyBadger Please tag me for the next buddy reads whichever direction it leads to a re-read or different author. I fell behind on this one and regret has been nagging at me lately. 1mo

julesG @SconsinBookyBadger I know that feeling. Will tag you. 1mo

rretzler I have no idea how I missed this until it was over. I guess partially because I haven‘t been active in a couple of years, but I wish I had some upon it before now! Please tag me if you do something else. 1mo

julesG @rretzler Will do! 1mo
