Gulliver's Travels (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) | Jonathan Swift

so-so

I read Neil deGrasse Tyson‘s favorite book. Sadly it wasn‘t my favorite, but it was mildly entertaining.
This is Book 1 for #BookSpinBonanza this month. Too bad it‘s the only one I got to, but thank you @TheAromaofBooks for making it fun!
This is one of my bookmarks from the bookmark swap a few months ago. I think it‘s from @OrangeMooseReads ? Did you make it?
My husband & I laughed every time I held it up to him. Lol!

And Then There Were None | Agatha Christie

pick

This is my first Agatha Christie book, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it! Quick read. Keeps you guessing. Very entertaining.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm so thankful to The Great American Read book list! I have read books that I wouldn't of thought to pick up because of it.

SW-T Agatha Christie is a wonderful crime writer. Witty and sharp. 5y

BibliOphelia I loved this book from my teen years on. And I still do, as a classic mystery, but in honor of Black History Month, did you know this book was originally titled Ten Little N*ggers, based on the children's rhyme of the same name? It was then polished into Ten Little Indians before reaching the title most people know it by. I mention it as I believe it's always important to realize how pervasive and toxic racism can be. (edited) 5y

Chelsea.Poole I just read this last summer and also loved it! My first Christie as well 😊 I watched the mini series after reading it and it's quite good! (edited) 5y

ItsAnotherJen @BibliOphelia No, I did not know that! Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. 5y

War and Peace: Translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky | Leo Tolstoy

Day 13 - #adventrecommends

I enjoyed the audio of War and Peace. Loved learning about Napoleon‘s invasion of Russia in 1812. I found the love stories centered around Natasha Rostov to be fascinating. Tolstoy‘s writing is very detailed but filled with interesting information. I would highly recommend this book to those who enjoy books about war and romance.

The Stand | Stephen King

pick

I finally got around to reading this one. I liked it much better than The Gunslinger, the only other King book I've read. Great characters! #thegreatamericanread #greatamericanread

TheNeverendingTBR The Stand is my favourite book. But you should continue with The Dark Tower series, The Gunslinger is the first book; but the story of Roland making his way to the Tower begins in the second book The Drawing of the Three and it gets WAY better!! 6y

staci.reads @trioxin_sematary I've had a few people tell me that the series is worth continuing. I didn't dislike the first one...I just wasn't sure how I felt about it. I do plan on reading more of them eventually. 6y
