I can‘t believe I managed 8 books considering one of them was a huge Stephen King. I even got a bingo. #bookspinbingo #JULYwrapup

MallenNC How was Bug Hollow? I saw it in a summer book preview but haven‘t seen any reader opinions 4d

LeslieO @MallenNC I really enjoyed it. I liked the different POVs of each family member. But one of my favorite podcasters did not like it at all. (edited) 3d

MallenNC @LeslieO I think I first heard of it from Modern Mrs Darcy and it was also in Fabled bookshop‘s summer preview. I keep feeling like I should add it to my TBR but I haven‘t yet. 3d

LeslieO @MallenNC I think it was Cindy from Thought From a Page who didn‘t like it. It‘s got a 4.1 rating on GoodReads. I also loved the authors book Search. 13h

MallenNC @LeslieO Oh I didn‘t realize it‘s the same author as Search. I still need to read that one too. I put a library hold in for Bug Hollow 4h

The Humorless Ladies of Border Control: Touring the Punk Underground from Belgrade to Ulaanbaatar | Franz Nicolay

bailed

The book description captured me, partly because of the ref to the #PussyRiots, which are part of the #Nonfiction2025 challenge, and mainly because of the idea of exploring the punk rock world behind the former Iron Curtain. However, while the writing is very good, I just couldn‘t stay with it. Too many deep dives into philosophy and theory, and not quite personal enough for me. Also, unless he loops back, the Pussy Riots are just peripheral.

We Still Here: Pandemic, Policing, Protest, and Possibility | Marc Lamont Hill

pick

The subtitle of We Still Here covers the main topics within: pandemic, policing, protest, and possibility. This book was published in 2020 and is organized in interviews format. The chapters Justice for “All” and Whose Violence? were especially powerful.

Interesting and disturbing.

Amiable Looks interesting—and one that I can possibly make fit on the #Nonfiction2025 bingo card… 7mo

JenReadsAlot @Amiable Let me know what you think of it. 7mo

DogMomIrene I loved this book, especially how the author works in the context of North Korea‘s history. The audiobook performance was great too. 7mo

JenReadsAlot @DogMomIrene Agreed! 7mo
