Before I peek at the numbers for September, I post my August #BookSpinBingo board. Squeezed in Camp Concentration for a third bingo 😁

Don't feel this. I was curious because people said it's crazy and weird, and I am totally in for crazy and weird. But all I got was old, mostly white men talking about themselves. Maybe I should've pulled through a bit more - but... no.

And here's also my #BookSpinBingo for August. One book I was already able to finish (Elatsoe).

Here are my #BookSpin and my #DoubleSpin for August. I might split Closing Time for two months, because I'm not sure I can finish it in one. But we'll see 🤷

Day 225.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.
I read Catch-22 in 1967, when I was 13 and loved it‘s insanity and dark humor. I waited til now to read Closing Time (C-22‘s sequel). I‘m now 68, the age of Yossarian in this book. At this age I can appreciate the characters‘ reflections on their lives and their preoccupation with their mortality. It took several chapters for Heller to approach the humor and style of C-22. Disappointingly, the book just stopped rather than concluded. Sad.
Reading is all messed up this month. Couldn't concentrate on anything and a lot going on around me. But got some pre-loved books 📚 in a sale so that's something good.
Today was my last day at a job I've worked and LOVED for nearly ten years. The image is from my book trolley. New job starts Monday #allthefeels #onwardandupward
I have such bittersweet feelings about bookstore closings. On one hand, this represents the quantifiable loss of hundreds of jobs, as well as, on a more abstract level, the inexorable decline of brick and mortar bookshops in favor of faceless giants of e-commerce. On the other hand, those sweet deals tho. #bookvulture
Really sad news for anyone in MA or RI - less than 2 weeks to score some major book hauls from this treasure. 😿📚
