What to Read (and Not): Essays and Reviews | Tom LeClair

These two digital holds have just come in on OverDrive. Which one should I read? And which should I postpone?

Bonfire by Krysten Ritter
OR
Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye

Melkyl I really liked Jane Steele 5y

Hooked_on_books I enjoyed both, but I think Ritter still has a lot of room to grow as a writer. I‘d go with Jane Steele. 5y

janeycanuck Haven‘t read Jane Steele but echo @Hooked_on_books in saying Ritter‘s was very clearly a debut. It is a quick read, though. 5y

Viji Loved Jane Steele! 5y

TheKidUpstairs @Melwilk @Hooked_on_books @janeycanuck @Viji Thanks for weighing in! I downloaded Jane Steele, and have postponed my hold on Bonfire 😁 5y

It's pretty sunny out here on my balcony. I'm not sure whether I'd better go back inside and stay there or come back with sunscreen. Don't want to burn my marble coloured dragon hide. 😝

I was auto-approved for another ARC, so my NetGalley shelf now holds 47 books - child's play to you @LibrarianRyan, I know. 😉

Now, which one to choose?

And why am I always adding things to my already full plate?

PS: sunscreen it is, want to stay outside

rockpools Do you want to reset my Netgalley password for me? 😉 Will happily return the favour! Hope you're still enjoying the sun. 7y

julesG @RachelO That's an idea. I enjoyed the sun for some time, then I needed to get back inside to cool off. 7y

I have a $10 gift card and a 30% off coupon that ends tonight. Swinging by after my violin lesson. I would like a book (non-fiction) by a diverse author, a graphic novel, or a lit magazine. I think. Any suggestions Litsy?

umbrellagirl It‘s fiction but I enjoyed Halsey Street by Naima Coster. 7y

TheBookDream @umbrellagirl Thanks for the rec! That‘s something I‘ll def be looking for at my library 🙂 7y

I feel lost when I‘m in the real world.....send help 😂

Do you ever flip through the TV guide and think "So many channels, and nothing I want to watch"?

That's how I feel about my bookshelves right now. So many good books that just aren't grabbing my attention.

Tamra The Fishermen has been on my radar a long time now! 😻 7y

Tonight's dilemma, what should be my #FirstBook? I'm not home, so options are limited. Left column is paperback, right is Kindle, middle is audio that we will probably listen to on the way home.

TricksyTails Good choices! I'm curious about Pachinko so that's my vote! Happy New Year! Tanuki sends hugs to you and Dante! 🐶♥️🎉🎆 7y

Texreader I‘ve only read the Mysterious Benedict Society. It‘s good 7y

Rachel.Rencher My vote is Panchinko only because I'm dying to get my hands on it! 7y

Andrew65 Pachinko seems to be the way to go. 7y

My husband and I are going on our first kids free adventure in September! We are going to Maine, and this little book store will be where all my vacation money will be going lol.
Now with that said, please tell me your favorite book so I can make a list of books I need to buy or bring on my trip!
