Harlem Shuffle: A Novel | Colson Whitehead

Pickpick

I swear, I must have restarted this book five times and very nearly gave up on it, but I'm so glad I didn't! That's no knock on the book at all, it's just very detailed and that doesn't usually work for me on audio while I'm commuting. Once I figured that out and planned my listening time, I was hooked. (The narration is fantastic!)

The book Zuckerberg does not want people to read. The author cannot promote it but Macmillan can sell it- The story is on my IG if anyone is interested.
Anyone one else hear about this book?
#taxtherich #noologarchy

seibelsays It is WILD that the author can't promote the book. 2d

jen_the_scribe I have not heard of this one, but this is one of many reasons why I love Litsy. Word of mouth gets more books read than anything else. Stacked, and I plan to share my insights on it when I do read it. 2d

TheBookgeekFrau I ordered it Saturday right after I saw something on instagram about the author not being able to promote it on Meta platforms. 2d
Bookwormjillk It was in a bookshop.org email when it came out. I put it on library hold based on the blurb, but this makes me want to buy a copy. 2d
lil1inblue I stacked the book as soon as I read your first sentence. My loathing of Zuckerberg (and most tech bros) knows no bounds. I will be buying multiple copies of this book. 2d
DogMomIrene My library doesn‘t have a copy yet. I hit that Notify Me tag in Libby and I‘ll let that cook. If I get itchy to read this one, I‘ll buy it. Because Zuck just disgusts me. I‘m surprised more of his employees aren‘t telling their tales. I‘m thinking there‘s a market for them and I‘d guess different people from different areas with various levels of access would have things to share🤞🏼 2d
Cuilin There is a TikTok account reading excerpts from it!!!! 2d
Deblovestoread As soon as I read she couldn‘t promote it I ordered a copy. B&N had it at $5 off when I ordered mine. 2d

I stalled in reading this because of personal stuff, but today seemed like the right day to get back to it. I read 150 pages of it in two big gulps, as usual with these books. It feels like a good place to leave the series, though I'm actually not sure if it's meant as a conclusion or not.

It was my #DoubleSpin book, though it still leaves me in search of a #BookSpinBingo. I really am not doing it on purpose this time...!

My first five star read of the year! I could have read another 470 pages of this one. I loved the ending, I loved everything leading up to it and I loved every single character - even the despicable ones.

My #DoubleSpin for March

AmyG I loved this one, too. It would make a fun movie. 3d
JamieArc I agree with @AmyG and also would love to see this as a series. I need to know what happens next to these women! 3d

How to Build a Boat | Elaine Feeney

Elaine Feeney is now an automatic buy for me. I loved her first novel, As You Were, and I loved this one, too. (I'm not sure how to preorder her new book, since I can only find info on a UK edition?) I felt equally invested in Jamie, Tess, and Tadhg. I found myself rooting for each of them in different ways. I can see myself rereading this one at some point.

lauraisntwilder Forgot to mention, this was my #doublespin! 2d

Every couple years in March I squeeze in an MB. Her books have a pile of characters and since I don‘t read her according to publishing date (and that couple year lag) I don‘t recall if a character showed up in a previous book. I just settle in and enjoy the community she creates and what I‘ll recall here is the feeling I had reading this community minding little Frankie 😍

March #DoubleSpin Category: Family Drama @TheAromaofBooks

Cuilin I love the Claddagh tea pot. 4d
marleed @Cuilin Oh thank you. My eldest sister (RIP) was a longtime owner/operator of an Irish shop in my hometown (Butte, MT) so my collection of all things Celtic is significant. I treasure it all now way more than I ever expected because her goneness is experienced on a daily basis, but boy did she love this day🍀☘️🍀 4d
Cuilin @marleed Thank you for sharing that with me. I lost my big sister too. I remember wearing green ribbons in our hair attending the parade in Dublin. Sending you love and happy memories today! 💚☘️ 4d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3d
marleed @Cuilin Ohhh, not a club we desire to belong 💔. I‘d love to be in Dublin on St Patrick‘s Day🍀 1d

I love reading about notable women whose accomplishments are not as well known now. If you‘re looking to read about a mafia trial this is not that — that case is only a small part of the book. The rest of it is about a Black woman who became an attorney when that was rare and it covers her full life. It‘s by her grandson but he doesn‘t lionize her; her flaws are on view. It also has an added element of family lore vs public record.
