@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thank you so much for this lovely gift! I can‘t wait to read this book, the lovely bath salts (am I right this is for the bath?), note cards, candy and hot chocolate! But the little reader‘s journal….Ha….we sell these in the hospital gift shop! I had bought a few for swaps and gifts but not for me so thank you! You are so sweet and kind. Thank you for your friendship. 😘

Chrissyreadit Just FYI- I did not want you to think I was rude- I know you said you had mailed a book in Dec- it did not get here- BUT I know I had something shipped to Lynn in Dec and it has not arrived to her yet either so my guess is there‘s still a problem spot in mail in the US. 4d

AmyG @Chrissyreadit I have been watching it. I am somewhat hopeful that one day-it will show up. Maybe? And remove this book as stacked because I am sending you my copy! While praying it gets to you in 2022. 🤣 (edited) 4d

Chrissyreadit OMG you are incredibly always kind and generous. Lately work has been so sad with many people in crisis, and our world upside down that I‘m relying on funny light books for my mental health. I‘m grateful for you my friend. 4d

AmyG Back at you! You are one of the sweetest, kindest people on Litsy. This is a good book to pull you out of the present! It‘s been hard where I am, too. My daughter works in mental health and so many kids are suffering. Hugs. 3d

How I try to read a book or author I love.

Alfoster Exactly!❤️👍 2w

Tgbsfk Whats the point of reading if the sentences doesnt lead you to new thoughts. Totally agree 👍🏻 2w

Bookwormjillk I agree but can‘t always help it when I need to know what happens 😁 2w

See All 20 Comments

Kdgordon88 Totally agree! Most of my reading last year was about consumption. Taking it a lot slower this year. 2w

Amiable This is why I set my Goodreads goal at 1 book every year. One. To avoid rushing through books in an attempt to hit some arbitrary high total. 2w

CuriousG I love Adam Grant, but occasionally he misses the mark. To assume that there is only one correct reason to read is judgmental and dismissive. Sometimes a person will read to gain insight and learn, which does require a slower pace. Other times, they may be reading as pure escape and enjoyment of a story precisely because they need a break from thinking. Both are completely valid. 2w

AmyG @CuriousG yes. That‘s why I wrote a book or author I love and not all books. I have been guilty of skimming many times because I want to know what will happen next. Still fun but I had no intention of gaining insight or learning. Just a fun ride. 2w

CuriousG Sorry - didn't mean to blast you. Your statement was clear 2w

CuriousG Just meant this is one of the few times I think he's being too 'all or nothing' in his thinking. 2w

Megabooks @CuriousG agree. Read how you want to read, but I also understand why you‘d want to savor a book from a favorite author @AmyG ! There is room for everyone! 💜 2w

AmyG @CuriousG NO I didn‘t think that at all. I just viewed it as more of don‘t speed read everything as you would miss too much. No worries. 😘 2w

RebL I guess I'm fortunate to be a slow reader! 2w

Suet624 The last book I read really really really slowly was... wait for it .... Fresh Water for Flowers. Sometimes I would read the heading of the chapter and just have to sit with it. I'd close the book and feel my feelings about what I had just read. :) You're probably tired of hearing me talk about this book, but it's the truth.

Fresh Water for Flowers

AmyG Ha @Suet624 I love to see someone love a book so much they can‘t stop talking about it. ❤️ 1w

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I sent you a little something! I hope it makes it there safely! 1w

AmyG @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks How sweet. Thank you so much. 😘 1w

Jess861 I agree with this statement - I love taking in every little bit of the book. Just sad to know there are so many books out there and I'm going to miss a bunch of them! 1w

AmyG @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I got your package....but not in my hands yet. I got an email that it‘s in my post box. Just wanted you to know it got here. Thank you in advance. @Jess861 I feel your pain. I don‘t even think I will live long enough to read all the books I actually own. 🤣 1w

Favorites | Garret Mathews

I always ask what that person likes to read. But aome real favorites are:

-Ruth Rendell for mysteries
-A Prayer for Owen Meany
-David Sedaris (funny books)
-A Little Life (if they can handle it)
-Middlesex
-Angle of Repose
-A Secret History
-Mary Kay Andrews (chick lit)

To name a few. I know I‘m forgetting hundreds of books. 😂

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Suet624 I was so delighted to see Angle of Repose on your list. I don't see many folks talk about it. 2w

AmyG @Suet624 It‘s so good. I need to read it again now that I live in Colorado. Stegner‘s a favorite. 2w

Amiable @Suet624 I loved “Angle of Repose”! Although my favorite Stegner is “Crossing to Safety.” 2w

See All 20 Comments

Suet624 @Amiable I keep wanting to read Crossing to Safety and it gets further and further down in my pile of books. Some day. 2w

Reggie A Little Life, AmyG!!!??? Lol, you recommend depression!!! Jk, that‘s a tough book. I still get mad thinking about that last page in that one section. Lol omg, I‘m having flashbacks. 2w

AmyG @Reggie I wrote...if you can handle it. I ask alot of questions before I recommend that one. The person has to agree to liking sad, depressing books with all the trigger warnings. 🤣 2w

AmyG @Amiable I loved Crossing to Safety. But Angle of Repose was my first Stegner and will always be my favorite. 2w

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I really want to read !!

A Little Life: A Novel

CBee @Reggie I know EXACTLY which page you‘re talking about. I was already bawling and then it went to all out sobfest 😭😭😭 2w

CBee @AmyG we do love the sad and depressing books. With all the TW 😂😂😂 Wonder what that means?? 😳😂 2w

AmyG @CBee Hahahaha. Right? What does that say about us? I don‘t think I want to know. 😂 2w

Reggie @Cbee and the WORST part was that she called the whole section Love story or The Loving Years. Like it was some big haha joke on us for her. Lolol I will never forgive Hanya for that. Ever!!! Lol But, real talk, totally want to read her new book. I read an interview with her like a week ago and it sounds so good. 2w

AmyG @Reggie read her new interview in The New Yorker. Very good. If you haven‘t read it already. 2w

CBee @AmyG I don‘t want to know either 😂😂 2w

CBee @Reggie YES!! She broke my heart into a million tiny pieces. I don‘t even think I‘ve fully recovered 😂😂 2w

Reggie @AmyG @CBee the best news, so I just got onto Libby and Overdrive this past weekend through the library and because of this thread I thought-I‘ll just see if they have it. They did! And guess who just borrowed it!!!!! Thanks, reader friends!!! 2w

CBee @Reggie that‘s great! And didn‘t it just drop today? Wow!! 2w

AmyG @Reggie Excellent! Be prepared to discuss. Ad nauseum. 2w

Suet624 @Reggie @AmyG I often wonder why I like books like A Little Life. Some of it is I feel broken people are kindred spirits but do I really need to hurt my heart by reading about their pain? 1w

AmyG @Suet624 That‘s a good question. I like to read about beoken people perhaps because I understand their pain on some level. Maybe it makes us all fell we are not alone dealing with the human condition and life in general. Who knows? 1w

Soubhiville Once There Were Wolves might be tied for #1 for me, with The Seed Keeper by Diane Wilson. ❤️ 1mo

AmyG @Nute Ha…right? A bookworm‘s delight! @Soubhiville I just got The Seed Keeper so now I need to bump it up. 1mo

Chelsea.Poole Love your choices! We are very similar readers, I do believe 😊 1mo

AmyG @Chelsea.Poole Oh, we are. I love to see what you read. 1mo

Bookwormjillk Loved We Begin At The End, and haven‘t heard of that new Colm Toibin. I loved Brooklyn so must add that to my list. 1mo

Ruthiella Great list! The Plot was a lot of fun to read. 😀 1mo

AmyG @Bookwormjillk The Magician was just fabulous. FYI-a little of a slow start for me but just loved the historical settings and time period the most. @Ruthiella Yes…I thought The Plot and The Push were both really fun. 1mo

Winter Solstice | Rosamunde Pilcher

Deb. This is all fabulous. Where to begin…I love the books (great choices). The book sleeve (gorgeous), adorable pouch (for my purse as I have so much necessary crap), the candy (my husband will be thrilled-he gets the dark chocolate bar), pad and the washi tape (love) etc.,the great ornaments, coffee! I just can‘t thank you enough. Wishing you a wonderful holiday! 😘🎄🎁🎅🏻❄️

AmyG @DebinHawaii Oh no. I hope Max is ok. 🙏🏻 1mo

DebinHawaii @AmyG Thanks. He is basically an almost 18-year old diabetic cat who can‘t poop frequently, but I should hopefully be able to bring him home today & he should be feeling much better. 🙀❤️ (edited) 1mo
