Between #authoramonth and #bookclub selections and #camplitsy I filled out most of my list for #14books14weeks & just needed a couple more from my TBR.

Great timing for me to be reading the audiobook of James just as it won the Pullitzer!
I wanted to give a shout out to the narrator Dominic Hoffman. He really is fantastic. I listened to him narrate Homegoing years ago and that book is now burned in my brain. (Please listen to it if you havent read it yet!) He has a gorgeous voice and made the differences in James‘s use of two languages have such an impact on me. This book is thought provoking ⬇️

Still in Monrovia with the sociopath narrator of this tedious nonsense
We do have our six winners for #CampLitsy25! We‘ll discuss half a book each weekend in June, July and August. Details will follow. For now Meg, Helen and I hope you are as happy with the winning books and look as much forward to go camping as we do!
If you want to be tagged or removed from the taglist, let us know!
Early in the COVID pandemic, Cora‘s sister is brutally killed in front of her in an anti-Asian hate crime. She then becomes a crime scene cleaner and starts getting visited by ghosts. I was initially put off by the title, but I‘m glad I got over that, as I found this really absorbing.
Another great book by Kitamura. Her sparse, detached writing style is perfect for this story. I‘m a fan of David Lynch‘s films, and reading this felt like watching Lost Highway for the first time - I could never get my footing in the story before it shifted and blurred again. So good. Excited this will be our first book for #CampLitsy this year!
