pickI loved this book and gave it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
On the outside, this book is about a paraplegic author writing her first big novel while dealing with her family and herself, and then there are the robots 🤖

pickHad I not read a half dozen books set in/around Afghanistan & India prisons I don't think I would have been able to get through this book of essays. But because I have I could picture these women, living out sentences that are not earned, in conditions inhumane, but still with a drive to find joy in the relationships they are building with one another despite their realities. I especially enjoyed the parts...
Finally have my list together for August‘s #bookspin. Not totally happy with it, but my brain is not braining and I had to throw a couple things on there when I realized that my original list duplicated titles. 🤦🏻♀️ There are five NetGalley titles that publish in August, a sequel I‘ve been dying to get my hands on for six months, #CampLitsy, and books I really want to read. We‘ll see how the month goes.
Haven‘t been keeping up with this, friends - hopefully you are doing better than I am! Consider this your friendly reminder to post your list for August (!!!). Enjoy, and please let me know if you want to be added/removed from the tag list. #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook #readyourkobo
Audition made the #BookerPrize longlist! Interested to see what other #camplitsy people think of this!
Personally I didn‘t enjoy reading it. But I can see how it‘s a good novel? I just don‘t like being confused! 🤣

pickZelu is a disabled author whose book, Rusted Robots, becomes a worldwide sensation. This book follows Zelu prior to and after her fame. Not quite a sci-fi book (there is some space travel & high tech gear in the main book), her Robots book definitely is—a dystopia set in Africa where robots and AI (bodiless bots) are at war. So we also follow the travails of Robots‘ main character Ankara in this book within a book. Both stories are interesting ⬇️
It is that time of the month! #CampLitsy25 readers please vote for your favorite book from July! It seems like many of us liked both books, so I'm curious to see which will come out on top. 🤔 Vote simply by putting the name of the book in your comment.
I hope all of you will be back for August! I think we may need to install AC first, though! (The corn sweat is killing us around here.)
