My brain is finally working enough that i am ready to read this- 1 section a week so about 15 weeks. Anyone interested in joining in? Feel free to just jump in and out of discussion- i will try to post each weekend- but am completely ok with anyone posting their own questions too! Who is interested?

A Language of Limbs | Dylin Hardcastle

Thank you Barbara for my lovely gifts!

As you know, the tagged book has been on my radar for some time after all the Aussie Littens read it and raved about it!

And Slanting Towards The Sea is a fairly new addition to my wish list, having seen stellar reviews from @Jas16 @Lesliereadsalot .

I‘m looking forward to reading both at the same time/ similar time to you - maybe even a #buddyread at Gladstone‘s?!

Lesliereadsalot Two wonderful books! You will love them! 22h
youneverarrived These both sound fab! 22h
Jas16 So excited for you to read them both! 21h

LeeRHarry Can‘t wait for your thoughts on the tagged book! I really hope you love it. 😊 15h
BarbaraBB Happy I made the right choice but I was fairly sure this time! I‘d love to do a buddyread at Gladstone‘s 😘 8h
BarbaraBB @Lesliereadsalot I bought them both because of your reviews! Copies for myself too 🤪 8h
Lesliereadsalot @BarbaraBB I‘m still thinking about Language of Limbs weeks later. My favorite book of the year.. 6h
BarbaraBB @Lesliereadsalot That‘s quite the recommendation! I‘ll read it next month! 5h
squirrelbrain Wow, that is some recommendation! @Lesliereadsalot 5h
squirrelbrain I‘ll try not to read one or both of them before Gladstone‘s then! 😜 @BarbaraBB 4h
BarbaraBB Fun! Just adding to the anticipation of that weekend! 4h
Lesliereadsalot @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain OK you two! What‘s Gladstone‘s because I‘m jealous whatever it is! 4h
BarbaraBB It‘s a library annex hotel in Wales where some Littens spend a few days each September. Last year I went for the first time. It‘s great. It‘s reading all day in the most gorgeous surroundings and catching up likeminded bookish people. Am I forgetting something Helen? Anyway, you‘re very welcome to join us Leslie 😀 4h
squirrelbrain No you‘re not forgetting anything @BarbaraBB apart from perhaps cake! You‘d be more than welcome to to join us @Lesliereadsalot - there‘s 11 of us this year, from the UK, Germany, the US and of course B from The Netherlands. It‘s in a month‘s time so maybe a bit short notice this year, but we‘ve already booked our slot for next year! https://www.gladstoneslibrary.org/ (edited) 2h

We are a little less than 1.5 weeks away from our next #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead discussion! I‘ve seen some positive reviews already from group members, so I hope this sparks some great discussion on the 31st.

As a heads up, our next book is Ragtime by E.L. Doctorow. I‘ll post the official graphic either today or tomorrow, when I have a free moment and remember (!), but wanted to make sure everyone was aware now.

Sargar114 I‘ve started the audiobook version. Not sure how I feel yet, but it‘ll be quick I imagine 3d
julieclair Starting this one tonight! And I'm excited about Ragtime. It's been on my TBR for years. 2d

Oh, Canada! | Per-Henrik Grth
post image

Sorry for the late post on the vote for the next book! Two different types of books by two authors. Please let me know which book you would prefer to read for the September/October read of #OhCanada . Moon of the Crusted Snow is the first of two books (so far) and Three Day Road is the first in a trilogy.

Anyone welcome to join in this easy going book club where we explore different Canadian authors every two months.

#BookClub #BuddyRead #Canada

mcctrish I‘d love to read Three Day Road, I‘ve had it on my death tower for years (edited) 2w
Kitta Both sound really good! I‘d be happy with either but I‘m leaning towards (edited) 2w

Tamra My vote is for Three Day Road. I read the other, it was great! 2w
TheKidUpstairs Both are great books, but if you are choosing from these as a way of reading Indigenous authors, please be aware of the controversies surrounding Boyden's ancestry claims: Author Joseph Boyden and his shape-shifting Indigenous identity https://share.google/mBFXjSnGW5xh4dGJd 2w
Jess861 @TheKidUpstairs - Thank you for letting us know about the controversies. These books weren't picked because of the authors ancestry. Just looking to explore well written books by Canadian authors. 2w
Jess861 @mcctrish @Kitta @Tamra - thanks for the votes - noted :) 2w
Tamra @mcctrish “death tower” 😂 2w
PurpleyPumpkin As I haven‘t read it yet, I‘ll vote for Three Day Road. 🗳️ 2w
Jess861 @PurpleyPumpkin Thanks for the vote - noted 😊 2w
Ruthiella Both are available at my libraries 👍 I think I am more curious to start with Boyden, since I have long heard about him as an author but not read anything yet. 2w
Jess861 @Ruthiella Thanks for the vote - it is noted 😊 2w
CarolynM I‘m a bit over committed at the moment. I probably won‘t get to the current book, or the next one. Sorry. Hopefully I‘ll be able to join you for November/ December. 2w
Blueberry I've read Moon of the Crusted Snow. So I will vote for Three Day Road. I'm always up for reading a canoe trip through the northern wilderness. 😄 2w
Jess861 @CarolynM No worries - such a busy time of year!! 2w
Jess861 @Blueberry Thanks - noted 😊 2w
lauraisntwilder I'm voting for Moon of the Crusted Snow, but they both sound good. 2w
Jess861 @lauraisntwilder Thanks for the vote - noted 😊 2w

I have kiddos in the house! As a non-mom, I don't know how you moms and grandmas do this! My godson (9-year-old), cousin (14-year-old), and mom are all visiting from Texas, and I am EXHAUSTED! Trying to entertain them - but also trying to have quiet time (my husband and I live in a dark, quiet home, usually - we aren't a fan of the “big lights“). Anyway, I am super behind on #HashtagBrigade #BuddyRead
