Lonesome Dove: A Novel | Larry McMurtry
Pickpick

The new audio version is incredible. I spent several weeks listening. Every time I wanted to just keep listening, I forced myself to wait because I didn‘t want it to end. I can‘t recommend highly enough. Then I watch the original miniseries which is know for being closer to the original than any adaptation. It was amazing too. I‘ll be returning to this one which is highly unusual for me. I can‘t recommend this highly enough.

AmyG A favorite. now

#TTT #TakeThreeThursday on Saturday @dabbe

A few of those tiny states were difficult to select. In actuality, I had 47/50. I live in NJ. I have work and familial tires to New England, so those are on lock. I've driven up & down the East Coast a ton. It's some of those states in the middle where I get muddled up. But I'll share with you all how to always find Kentucky on a map. 😉

dabbe L🤩VE! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🧡🍁♥️ 1d

Witches! Ghosts! Ghouls! Set as a Western, complete with a shoot-out! This book was such a great surprise! It‘s the first of a series - can‘t wait to get my hands on the next one ♥️

Bette I‘ve been circling this one, but you convinced me, thx.😊 1w
Sweettartlaura @Bette go for it! It‘s a slower burn at first, but still enjoyable. Once it picks up pace, it does not slow down 👍🏻 1w

Upright Women Wanted | Sarah Gailey
post image
Pickpick

The allegory isn‘t subtle, but I think that‘s kind of the point. Upright Women Wanted is a rallying cry for communities living in persecution in Trump‘s America. Using the iconography of the Western genre, Gailey galvanises readers with a Handmaid‘s Tale-esque story of secret rebellion and guerilla warfare.

repost for @Riveted_Reader_Melissa

#SheSaid

I started putting the voting together but myself & a few others were running behind on our reading AND that we had very few fiction nominations for December.

So for November: catch-up on any of your #SheSaid books, or dive into something and tell us about it. I‘m hoping to catch up &
reread Wild by Cheryl Strayed.

And nominate a few fiction choices for December on the original post.

Beneath the Canyons | Kyra Halland
post image

McDonald‘s reintroduced cappuccinos as a points redemption option, so I stopped in for a coffee and a read after I returned my library books. The drink took me a couple chapters further into BENEATH THE CANYONS, about which I‘m on the fence. The writing isn‘t bad so far, but there‘s maybe a vibe that‘s put me off? An ideological divide? We‘ll see whether I finish it or drift away.

Just stopped at Barnes & Noble for a browse and these Percival Everett books left with me. What could I do? They needed a home. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This book belongs to my grandmother and I really did enjoyed reading this book. I loved the characters so much. The plot of the book was great. I rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.

I‘ve wanted to listen to this for some time, but the reviews said the narrator was difficult to listen to. They just released this new audio version and it‘s a narrator that‘s popular for many audios. I‘m only a few hours in but I can tell it‘s a very different and positive listen. Highly recommend if the former narration made you bail on it.

LiteraryHoarderPenny Oh wow Will Patton will be BRILLIANT 2mo
AmyG One of my favorite books. I may need to listen to this. 2mo
