Help needed!

It‘s my birthday in November, and I‘m starting to think of a wishlist, and I‘m lost. 😳 I know I want books (obviously), but I‘ve been so far out of the book world, that I‘ve no idea what‘s good. So if you want to tag some of the best books you‘ve read so far, I would very much appreciate it! It doesn‘t have to be new releases, I‘m up for anything 🙏

Also, thank you all for the reactions to my baby news. I‘m well, and so is baby ☺️

squirrelbrain Only just seen your baby news - I missed it when you posted before. Congrats! Book-wise, I see you have the first Osman book - the second is even better, I think. And just the right kind of book; funny and warm, and just an all-round fun read! 3y

LeahBergen Wonderful news!! Congratulations! 😘😘😘 3y

Tamra Yay!!!! Exciting news! 3y

Litsy friends, I need your help!

I‘m going to Vietnam on Monday and I‘ll be gone until the 28th. I‘m trying to decide which books to pack, and I‘ve already decided on The Wise Man‘s Fear and An Echo in the Bone (two chunky reads). I‘m thinking I might need a third (and, possibly, a fourth) book, but I need help narrowing it down!

The books above are the unread books I own, and I need recs - which should I bring? Have you read any of them?

alisiakae The Time Traveler‘s Wife is excellent! Enjoy your trip! Vietnam is an incredible and beautiful country to visit! Especially the Mekong Delta. 6y

merelybookish Wow! Have a great trip! I haven't read Jamaica Inn but I bet Daphne Du Maurier would make a good travel companion. 6y

Sarah83 I listen to another Wilkie Collins book some time ago and I really enjoyed his writing. 🤩 6y

Megabooks I liked The Time Traveler‘s Wife. 6y

TheNerdyProfessor An Orchestra of Minorities is also on my TBR and has been highly praised! 6y

Caroline2 I hated the Time Travellers wife. 😆 6y

underthebelljar The Time Travelers Wife or Jamaica Inn. The Time Travelers Wife is a page turner. Jamaica Inn is slower but was still a good read. 6y

mrp27 Have fun and safe travels! 6y

ferskner The Woman in White is a favorite, both for its Gothic tones and its feminism. 6y

Kalalalatja @4thhouseontheleft @merelybookish @Sarah83 @Megabooks @TheNerdyProfessor @Caroline2 @BookishJess @ferskner thanks for all your comments, you have given me something to work from 😅 @mrp27 thank you! 6y

Avanders I‘ve heard Fledgling is amazing, and I personally was *not* a fan of The Time Traveler‘s Wife, but that‘s definitely an #unpopularopinion. 😉 Enjoy! ♥️ 6y

Hello all! Hoping you can help me find this book. My friend is not a big reader but has somehow decided she really wants to read it! If this sounds familiar to anyone please let me know? Thanks in advance! 😊👏🏼

Rachbb3 I hope someone comes up with it, it sounds good. 6y

Bookish_B @Rachbb3 I know, me too! Because she‘s not a big reader but was really excited about it I really want her to find it! 6y

jen_the_scribe I had this problem trying to remember one of my favorite Halloween story books from when I was a kid. I typed a little summary of what I could remember the book was about into Google and came upon a blog post about it and was able to find one used copy on Amazon. Tell her to try and remember as much as she can and type into Google. 6y

Bookish_B @Rachbb3 @jen_the_scribe we found it! It is I‘ll Never Tell by Catherine McKenzie. It just came out June 1st. Thank you guys! 😊 6y

Rachbb3 Thank you for letting me know! 😃 6y

I‘m debating on reading one of these two next, but I don‘t know which one to start first!

Jovy I‘ve only read Seven Days of Us and it was good, not great for me. One Day in December sounds interesting! 6y

I only have a few categories left for #pop18 and I‘m pretty sure I have title selections for all BUT female author using a male pseudonym! I would really appreciate any suggestions...my reading tastes seem to be less fantasy, Sci-fi, YA, romance or cozy. Thanks, Littens 💖📚

jenniferw88 George Eliot? Or Robert Galbraith? 7y

Cinfhen Thanks @jenniferw88 never knew George Elliot was a pseudonym 🤭 7y

jenniferw88 @Cinfhen yeah, it was quite a scandal back in the day! Mary Ann Evans was her real name. If you want to use her may I suggest this one as it's short.

Silas Marner (Revised)

See All 20 Comments

Cinfhen Ha! I‘ve already downloaded that title from @SerialReader Thanks soooo much @jenniferw88 💗 7y

Ms_T @Cinfhen Silas Marner is one of my all-time favourite classics. I hope you enjoy it 😃 7y

emilyhaldi I was considering reading this book although Nelle Harper Lee just removed her first name to sound more androgynous... Does that count? 🤔

Go Set a Watchman: A Novel

Soubhiville Isn‘t Robert Galbraith really JK Rowling?

Cuckoo's Calling

CarolynM What about Isak Dinesen? Out of Africa is a good read. 7y

julesG @Soubhiville Yep. Robert Galbraith is JKR. 7y

CoffeeK8 Louisa May Alcott originally published under a male name, or you could maybe use Charles Todd, it‘s a mother/son writing team, using a male psudonym which is I believe their two last/middle names. 7y

Lcsmcat Or look to the classics: George Elliot, or Georges Sand. 7y

sammisho I'm reading this now for this task and enjoying it.

Cuckoo's Calling

KarenUK Never read any of them, but Nora Roberts writes lots of crime fiction as JD Robb....🤷‍♀️... I‘m reading Robert Galbraith, mentioned already, for that #pop18 prompt. 7y

raeintheworld @Lcsmcat I second George Elliot. It‘s a chunkster, but Middlemarch is so good. 7y

WritethebookAnniemae Welcome to Litsy! 👍🏽📚🎉 7y

Cinfhen Thanks so much for all of your suggestions ~ I‘m attempting to read Silas Marner BUT we‘ll see if I stick with it @raeintheworld @KarenUK @sammisho @Lcsmcat @CoffeeK8 @julesG @Soubhiville @CarolynM @emilyhaldi @Ms_T 🙄 7y

Lcsmcat That‘s a good one! I hope you enjoy it. 7y

Reviewsbylola Lionel Shriver. That‘s who I‘m using. 7y

Cinfhen That‘s a BRILLIANT idea @Reviewsbylola and I just read a Lionel Shriver in June

The Standing Chandelier: A Novella

Reviewsbylola How nice to be able to retroactively check that off! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 7y

Repost from @LitsySwaps :

Want to be a #LitsySwap hero? We're looking to create a database of generous Littens who'd help to send out 1 replacement package if needed.

99% of swaps & matches work out wonderfully but every so often a participant's left hanging 😢. We want to create a database of people we can contact to step in & save the day. To sign up, just say you‘d be willing in the comments & note any shipping or other preferences.

CoffeeK8 If I didn‘t sign up before, I‘d be happy to help 7y

BethFishReads I‘ll help if the package is in US 7y

ness Glad to ship to US or Canada! Can also swap with French-speaking Littens. 7y

MaleficentBookDragon I‘m happy to help for US recipients. 7y

Repost from @mgallo1968 :

I think I might want to do it but not sure exactly how it works? Is there a 2018 schedu🤔📚😊

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I am one of the hosts for #BotmBuddyRead ☺️ The hosts, there are four, choose a book for each month, set up the reading schedule and post with the above hashtag. We read the assigned reading and have discussion questions every Sunday at 1pm cst... we are all laid back so if you have ideas that‘s great! We do choose our books from BOTM. For February we chose A Gentleman in Moscow. We are starting Sing, Unburied, Sing today!!! (edited) 7y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks We hope you can join us!!!! 7y

readinginthedark @mgallo1968 I‘m not sure how people define “Buddy Read” versus “Readalong,” but I host the #ShakespeareReadalong each month, in which whoever wants to join reads the planned Shakespeare play on roughly the same schedule, and we share our thoughts on each Act with the hashtag. It‘s kind of like a virtual book club, but you have an opportunity for more discussion since you‘re not limited to an hour or whoever talks the loudest! 😊 (edited) 7y

JenlovesJT47 @TricksyTails and @MinDea are hosting a buddy read of

The Name of the Wind: The Kingkiller Chronicle: Day One

JenlovesJT47 @MinDea is also hosting one for

Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk

JenlovesJT47 @MinDea is also hosting books that have been turned into movies discussions each month (I forget the hashtag!). I know she is cohosting the Lillian Boxfish one with somebody, let me check... @Jess7 !! (edited) 7y
