After Claude | Iris Owens
post image

I had to triple check the votes, but After Claude is the #NYRBBookClub selection! What a lively voting process & a narrow win! In the Café of Lost Youth & A Meaningful Life tied at 5, After Claude squeaked ahead with 7. Great job nominating 3 fascinating selections @emilyhaldi !

AlaMich This sounds so good! I‘m a #nyrb fan but I hadn‘t seen this one before. Stacked! 5y
mklong I would say “time to go shopping,” but I might have already bought all three last night 🙈 5y

Cathythoughts Great !! I‘ll get After Claude sorted & in my possession in the next few days ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 5y
saresmoore Woohoo! (I would‘ve been happy with any of the three.) 5y
youneverarrived This sounds brill! Off to order it now 😁 5y
vivastory @mklong Ha! I was tempted to do likewise, but I managed to show some restraint & just now ordered 2. 5y
vivastory @Cathythoughts Great! I hadn't heard of it before it was nominated, so I'm pretty curious about it 5y
vivastory @saresmoore Same here! I'm hard pressed to think of another publisher as consistently reliable in terms of quality 5y
vivastory @youneverarrived I just ordered mine & I had to order a second NYRB, to keep it company while it was in the mail 😄 5y
vivastory @AlaMich It was new to me as well! 5y
BarbaraBB @mklong 😂😂😂. Love it! Love this #nyrbbookclub. We‘re obsessed! 5y
BarbaraBB @vivastory I ordered mine too and to keep it company I bought 😱 5y
merelybookish Neither library has this book so I was forced to buy it. 😏 But I did check the library first. Both of them! 5y
youneverarrived 😂 I did the same. Would have been rude not to 😉 5y
LeahBergen @BarbaraBB I have The Other already and (if the voting order still hands) hope to put it up for the October selection. 😄 5y
LeahBergen I‘m feeling all smug that I managed to order only this one, solitary NYRB. 😏 (okay, I confess to ordering four #PersephoneBooks , too 😆😆😆). 5y
BarbaraBB @LeahBergen That would be great! And I bought two Persephones too... 5y
Theaelizabet Looking forward to another round! @LeahBergen @BarbaraBB I have a couple of Persephones on my radar. 5y
BarbaraBB @merelybookish So sorry for you 😉😀 5y
LeahBergen Who needs that silly, old Book of the Month Club monthly choice when we have an even BETTER club with a monthly choice??? Right?? #BESTCLUBEVER 5y
LeahBergen @Theaelizabet This is getting dangerous. 😆 5y
LeahBergen @BarbaraBB Correction: Make that THREE 😆😆 5y
BarbaraBB @LeahBergen This IS getting dangerous 🤣 5y
Rachel_nyc This book club is the best! My tbr exploded with NYRB books since @vivastory started it and since I‘m having brunch dangerously close to the Strand bookstore this weekend, I have a feeling I‘m going to be bringing a few home. 5y
saresmoore @LeahBergen @BarbaraBB Can you believe I managed to only buy the tagged book? Well, I had already ordered three Persephones and four other NYRBs...the same day... 🙊 5y
MicheleinPhilly Feeling smug because both selections are ones I already owned. 😉 5y
Suet624 @MicheleinPhilly nice work on your part! 5y
vivastory @BarbaraBB I can't wait to hear your thoughts on 5y
vivastory @merelybookish That's impressive responsibility on your part! I didn't even bother checking 😂 5y
vivastory @LeahBergen I don't own a single Persephone. I think I'm overdue! 5y
vivastory @LeahBergen Also, I 💯 agree that our picks are so much better than BOTM. I am probably going to cancel my BOTM subscription. The money I save will pay for another NYRB 😄 5y
vivastory @Rachel_nyc Brunch & The Strand? Isn't that what the cool kids call, "living your best life"?! Enjoy!! 5y
vivastory @saresmoore I expect a picture of that haul! 😄 5y
vivastory @MicheleinPhilly Ha! I mean, statistically speaking there will probably be a month where I will already own the selection..but I know I'd probably still get one. You know, restore my equilibrium & what not 😂 5y
sisilia I‘m so glad to be in this #nyrbbookclub 😘 I‘m looking forward to my upcoming NYC trip, and am going to hunt for obscure NYRB titles. Fingers crossed I won‘t exceed my luggage limit 🤣 5y
saresmoore @sisilia Media mail the excess! 😄 5y
batsy Yay! I was excited about the results because this seemed like a close race 😁 All the titles sound amazing. I only ordered the one because I think I'm trying to be on a book-buying ban 😂😂 #onlyNYRBsallowed #itsnotworking 5y
Rachel_nyc @vivastory 🤣🤣Definitely. 5y
LeahBergen @saresmoore You were very restrained. 😂 5y
LeahBergen @MicheleinPhilly Let‘s see how long we can keep your streak going. 😆 5y
LeahBergen @vivastory Yep. You may need to try one. I‘ll have to ponder on which one might suit you ... 🤔 5y
emilyhaldi The #NYRBfever is real!!! 🤪 I love it! I would love to see the spikes in NYRB website orders on the 16th of every month... 5y
emilyhaldi @Rachel_nyc have you been to Alabaster Bookshop before?! Right around the corner from the strand... the cutest little used book shop and last time I went they had tons of NYRBs!!! Check it out if you get the chance 😉 5y
emilyhaldi @MicheleinPhilly yay!! Finally someone else who owns this one 😁 I was almost beginning to feel guilty that I've enabled so much book spending around here 😆 5y
sisilia Ooohh I‘ve been to Alabaster @emilyhaldi Will pop in to see their collections 5y
emilyhaldi Such a hidden gem!! @sisilia 5y
Rachel_nyc @emilyhaldi I haven‘t but I‘m excited to check it out. Thanks! 5y
rubyslippersreads I‘ll try to join in on this one; it sounds interesting. 5y
vivastory @rubyslippersreads You should definitely join! 👏 5y
