Blue Ruin: A novel | Hari Kunzru
post image

The vividness of these radishes provoked me to take this picture, continuing my habit of posing my books with gardens, plants, flowers, produce. This is my last book for #ToF and it is already capturing my attention; page 10. This will be my 3rd by this author. I expect it to be interesting, philosophical, culturally relevant.

BkClubCare P.S. I dislike radishes 🫜 1w
Tamra Oh, gorgeous! I love radishes. 1w
HodgepodgeandMiscellany Omg—that picture has me salivating! I call radishes “nature‘s candy” — love them!!! 1w
BkClubCare @Tamra - yes, my eye really appreciates the bright color. 1w
BkClubCare @HodgepodgeandMiscellany - sure, sure. I let my husband eat any if I find in my 🥗 salad. 😉 1w

How to Survive a Pandemic | Michael Greger

Greetings from the house of sickness!

My son went on a school trip and the gift he brought home was Covid. None of us have had it before, but we're all fully vaxxed and boostered, so it isn't *too* terrible.

I committed to entirely too many things this month. I finished the May book for #bobwhitebuddies so I'm only a book behind. I did manage to finish this month's reading for #europacollective and #KLBR. I'm behind on #beyondtheyellowbrickroad.

lauraisntwilder I didn't read my #bookspin or #doublespin, but they're both short and I DID read the one I didn't get done last month 1mo
lauraisntwilder I'm only 50 pages into the #ohcanada book for this month, but so far so good! And last, but not least, I haven't started Emily of New Moon yet, but that one will be quick (and lovely). #kindredspiritsbuddyread 1mo
Ruthiella Hope you all get better soon! ❤️🥴 1mo

This was just beautiful and I finished it in 3 evenings after work. Her writing it just so incredibly good. Sorry, I'm exhausted and others are so much better at eloquent reviews. Just read this!

Recent acquisition for our personal library.

Every once in a while, you find something good at the dollar store.

This is basically pandemic + rapture + zombies. If you liked the movie Zombieland and can stomach a really sheltered teen narrator with less jokes, this might be for you.

I read books about diseases frequently but still learned things from this book geared towards kids.

1. 😂🤣 Sitting up during the day. I‘m less likely to fall asleep if I‘m in my library lounge chair. But I can if I‘m sitting for too long. At night I can only read on my side if I‘m using my Kobo.

@TheSpineView
2. I had a bunch of library holds come in and I‘m bailing on most. More of a wrong book at this time, I think. So I‘m about to start the tagged book🤞🏼

mcctrish Sometimes I get books from the library to see if I will like them and then buy them ( not really cost effective 😆😆) 3mo
DogMomIrene @mcctrish 😂🤣😂 I mean, it could be cost effective. I did that with some cookbooks when I switched to Whole Foods plant-based eating. Definitely saved me money…being able to peruse the contents. 3mo

I really enjoyed all the questions of humanity this book brought up. What does it mean to be human? Are you any less human if we can't feel all the emotions? Should humanity be able to choose to be happy all the time or not? This book brought up so many questions and points where I feel like I could defend either side. Very well written. I did feel it was a tad too long and too many side characters' POVs. 4.5/5

DogMomIrene Yay! I‘m looking forward to this one. 3mo
