April Fool's Day
April Fool's Day: A Novel | Josip Novakovich
6 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Ivan Dolinar is born in Tito's Yugoslavia on April Fool's Day, 1948 -- the auspicious beginning of a life that will be derailed by backfiring good intentions in a world of propaganda and paranoia. At age nineteen, an innocent prank cuts the young Croatian's budding medical career short and lands him in a notorious labor camp. Released on the eve of civil war, Ivan is drafted into the wrong army, becoming a pawn in an absurd conflict in which the rules and loyalties shift abruptly and without warning. But even in a world gone mad, one course of action remains eminently sane: survival. Told with bitingly dark humor and a deep tenderness, April Fool's Day is both a devastating political satire and a razor-sharp parody of war.

Kind of a weird day...but got to end it with writing my little list which is one of my favorite things to do. While I never manage to knock a lot out, I chip away at it...and it‘s fun so I‘ll continue. #bookspinbingo #bookspin #doublespin

Reviewsbylola Woot woot! I finished the first section in #thornbirds. It‘s a tear jerker for sure. 7y
Pamwurtzler @britt_brooke I have heard that - I can‘t believe I haven‘t read #84charingcrossroad before now. @Reviewsbylola I read #thornbirds a long time ago - I‘m psyched for the re-read! 7y
Ingerella I'm adding all of these to my TBR..They all look good! 7y

Leniverse What a shame that wasn't real! 😂 I would apply for a job there right away. (Although I suppose I'd have to read John Green to fit requirements.) 8y
SheilaChew Love it! 8y
asiriusreader @Leniverse I had the same thought...ideal job for all us book nerds! 🤓 8y

Gina Nice. Who is the author of the Glass House? That title intrigues me. I mixed it up with a book I read The Glass Castle by Jeanette Wells (2 thumbs up) 8y

Well-ReadNeck @shelf-improvement Me, too! I got denied by netgalley, but got it through LibraryThing!!! 8y
minkyb I have never felt the need for a TBR but between the #Litmail read, the buddy #Litmail read, #ReaditandReap and library holds I need some kind of list. This doesn't even include the books I have been buying. These are good problems to have. 8y
