After 2.5 months, I ought to be able to count this more than once in my GR Reading Challenge. (Note to self: no more omnibus editions...even if they are $2.99).
There is a superb interview with the author in The Paris Review. https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2019/06/05/survival-as-a-creative-force-an-i...
Jason Reynolds says it‘s amazing. As does NYT and many others. One reviewer said it‘s “permanently stunning”. I‘m def gonna check this one out when it drops tomorrow!! Learn more at www.oceanvuong.com
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms was almost as good as The Broken Earth Trilogy, maybe a little easier to read, in some ways maybe a little more accessible or “fun”? I put off reading it for so long because I was afraid to be disappointed. NO WORRIES. It‘s an amazing story. I‘m not sorry to say N.K. Jemisin is my absolutely favorite author. Also, I‘m liking the new Kindle option to sort by “read” or “unread”.
Just started...brilliant work but way different than triple-Hugo-winning The Broken Earth trilogy.
Y‘all. This is a beautiful letter to humanity. But in three days I will get to hear this man talk about his work!!! Live. In person. OMG i cant wait I can‘t breathe I can‘t wait. #jasonfangirl PS if you haven‘t read Jason Reynolds you need to. Right now. Now. Not kidding.
Epic reread of one of my favs from back in the day. This time by audio. I commute long distances to work and I have found that when I drive, I really love adventure stories.
While not as good as the first one, still enjoyable. And great historical info included by author at the end.
This is absolutely charming and grabs you in and won‘t let you go!! I‘m not as fond of the narrator in audiobook but it‘s still a fabulous story!
I‘m not crying. You‘re crying.
I‘ve just started a cross-country trip on Amtrak. I‘m so excited!!! Although I‘m glad we made it out of Chicago!! I read this book in preparation. It‘s a pretty good general overview.
OMG the author followed me back on Twitter!!
Ridiculous amounts of snow today! And it‘s still falling! Getting ready to hunker down under a fuzzy blanket and read. Any great snow day recommendations???! As a kid in upstate New York snow belt this was one of my favorites! @Librarianaut @glitterkitty459 @BkClubCare
1. The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss 2. The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. 3. Romance novels, including favorites I‘ve read before. They are comforting in their formulaic plot with a guaranteed happy ending. @sebrittain
Audio edition. It‘s just okay. Kind of slow. Too far to give up. Just two hours left!! Maybe there will be a payoff??
Deal alert! “There‘s more imagination on a page of Nnedi Okorafor‘s work than in whole volumes of ordinary fantasy epics” (Ursula K. Le Guin)
Words. Lots and lots of words. More words than story so far. I‘ve never read Hardy, is he always like this?
I‘ve been waiting and waiting. I‘m holding my breath that this one is as powerful as Strange The Dreamer.
Well-written, accessible for teens, exploration of self, dealing with loss, with subtext of gender identity, lbgtq.
This wonderful book is now a movie. World premiere at the Toronto Film Fest! Can‘t wait. #readthebookfirst #lbgtqdramas
This is maybe the best part of the whole book.
Great first-person accounts.
Author of Brown Girl Dreaming wrote this Amazon sale book. Y‘all. This woman packs a punch with her words.
As an older adult, I‘ve listened to audio, read and reread The Name of the Wind (and the sequel) again and again. Can‘t wait for book three. I hope it is published in my lifetime. 😹🙀 #agameoffavorites @WhiskeyMistress @ErinSueG
A Room of One‘s Own, combined with The Awakening by Kate Chopin were transformative for me as a young adult. #agameoffavorites @WhiskeyMistress @ErinSueG
As an young adult, Kate Chopin‘s The Awakening was one that I kept coming back to. #agameoffavorites @WhiskeyMistress @ErinSueG
If I think about my all-time fav books, I have different ones for different phases of my life. This one, my original cover pictured here, bridges the gap between adolescence and young-adulthood. Still a treasure that I‘ve read too many times to count. #agameoffavorites @WhiskeyMistress @ErinSueG
My favorite #localauthor for #agameoffavorites is Sarah Addison Allen. I love her light blend of atmosphere, interesting characters, #romantsy, and magic. She‘s not from my town, but from one of my favorite places, Asheville, NC. @WhiskeyMistress @ErinSueG
This one by author Sarina Bowen (recommended by @EloisaJames ) is FREE today on Amazon!!! @bookandcat @WhiskeyMistress @ErinSueG #romantsy #agameoffavorites
“Ten cats is too many”...🙀😹😸😺
Current deal at Amazon. I haven‘t yet read it but it seems interesting...I wish I‘d had a book like this when I was a teenager, to help figure out how to deal with big disappointments.
Thanks for the info @swishandflick This is a great read. Go get it!!
From the Novella “In Pursuit of...”, which is same author but not in the database.
“John was beginning to suspect that Latham was something of a puppy—earnest, exuberant, and utterly devoid of house-training. John sighed.”
Prime Day deal on this one!!!
The first 3 chapters were tedious, but the last five are wonderful!
I‘ve been a Spanish teacher for 21 years with a double major in French and Spanish. I also speak functional German and really bad Italian! I wish my brain connected emotionally to books in other languages but unfortunately it doesn‘t usually....
Grab this one!!! It's one of the best standalone paranormal fiction novels ever. It's a vampire novel for those who hate vampires! It's a really cool story and a steal!!!
James McAvoy as Lord Asriel. Woo hoo!! https://nerdi.st/2LzoYm5
