When will I learn to read the classics rather than listen?! This was a lot more than I thought it was going to be, so maybe I‘ll pick a physical copy up at some point but I did enjoy it. It‘s more of a slow read though to take it all in. #Pop23 ~a book that takes place entirely in one day

RaeLovesToRead Maybe I don't have to read Ulysses after all... 🤔🤣 3d
Cortg @RaeLovesToRead I‘m not gonna lie, that one kinda scares me! If ever I decide to tackle it, I will remind myself a print format is necessary 😫! 3d

Abbott: 1973 | Saladin Ahmed

1970‘s Detroit. Reporter Elena Abbott digs into flyers being distributed during a big election with the possibility of the first black mayor to be elected. There‘s a dark force working against her. I enjoyed reading this graphic novel but I felt there‘s a whole previous story I missed and another story not written yet? Too many holes, I needed more! #ReadHarder ~any book from the Ignyte awards list #Pop23 a book set in the decade you were born

This was a gentle story that takes place in Vietnam. Maggie, born in Vietnam but raised in America, goes back to her birth country seeking information about her father. Along the way, friendships are born. And lots of Pho is eaten, leaving me wanting to stop for a bowl. #Pop23 ~a book by an author with the same initials as you

squirrelbrain Hooray - you must be nearly finished by now, as you‘ve read loads recently?! 4w
Cortg @squirrelbrain I still have 4 on the top and 3 on the bottom! I started another audio yesterday but reading a work bookclub book that doesn‘t fit a category 😫 I‘m a bit behind but chugging along, we‘ll see if it gets completed. Time will tell. 4w

Librarybelle I‘ve heard good things about the series, but I‘m on the fence as to reading them. 1mo

jenniferw88 @Librarybelle, you definitely need to read in chronological order of events, not publication date. I've read it out of order, and it can be confusing! 1mo
Susanita I‘ve been listening to a podcast about Napoleon, and they interviewed Bernard Cornwell! 1mo
Bluebird Someday I‘ll get to this series. It‘s been on my list for awhile, but trying not to start new ones until I finish some of the many I‘m already reading 1mo

This is a clever satire about an island named after a man believed to have come up with a sentence using all 26 letters in the English language. After many years, the tiles holding the letters begin to fall and the tyranny of the local government mandates these fallen letters not be used in any way. Dystopia at it‘s finest. #Pop23 ~a book your friend recommended

Ruthiella I liked this one too. It was very clever and taught me the word “crepuscular”. 1mo
ChaoticMissAdventures I really enjoyed this one, I have read it a couple of times and am always amazed at how creative Dunn was in writing this. 1mo
squirrelbrain This has been on my radar for ever - I really must get to it sometime. 1mo
Cortg @squirrelbrain it was a fun read! Something different. 1mo

The Argonauts | Maggie Nelson
post image
Pickpick

This is a raw memoir about love, family and gender. I really like what Nelson had to say and the experiences she shared. Parts of it were like being in her head. She would be sharing one story, and another would pop up and she‘d veer course and come back around with the original thought. Overall it was pretty good. #Pop23 ~a book with just text on the cover #ReadHarder23 ~a nonfiction book about queer history #Booked23 ~about reproductive rights

Larkken I loved this book. Glad it resonated with you too. 1mo
squirrelbrain Sounds fascinating! 1mo

I finished #52bookclub23 with these books for each prompt. Most of them I liked, some of them I just read to get rid of the prompt but in general it‘s been fun again and I enjoyed sharing suggestions with you and be inspired by your reviews. Here‘s to #52bookclub24!

rmaclean4 Fantastic!! 1mo

squirrelbrain This one ticked off a lot of islands! 1mo
squirrelbrain I‘ve signed up for email notification for ToB - I‘m very much looking forward to it, although often the books are hard to get hold of. 1mo
