We‘ve been wild camping for four days - so popped into a nearby National Trust estate for tea, cake and to use the facilities! Added bonus they had a second hand bookshop! Happy holidays!

squirrelbrain Love a National Trust bookshop! ❤️ 11mo
AmyG Enjoy! 11mo

Here are my nominations for #CampLitsy2023. Two I haven‘t seen before: Good Night, Irene (I don‘t usually like war novels but I love Urrea) and Saturday Night at the Lakeside. The others I probably got from YOU! I‘ve been checking Litsy all day to see nominations. So many great books coming out. Really looking forward to participating with you all.

JamieArc @Megabooks @Deblovestoread @BarbaraBB I think Urrea is a fabulous human being (as well as fabulous writer), so I always appreciate seeing other people wanting to read his work ❤️ 12mo
JamieArc @Cinfhen I knew there would be some great titles but I didn‘t expect just how many! My bank account is scared for itself 😂😂 12mo
JamieArc @squirrelbrain Thirst for Salt came from seeing your list! It just sounded like something I very much would want to read during summer months. I look forward to it whether it‘s chosen or not. 12mo
sarahbarnes Yes! Dykette is on my list too, and Thirst for Salt sounds very good! 12mo

monalyisha Excited about Saturday Night and The Celebrants for different reasons! I went on a vacation to Wisconsin last year, inspired largely by a romance novel featuring a supper club — and I *loved* Kitchens of the Great Midwest! And, as I think you know from me prattling on, I‘m super interested in the role of an officiants - whether it‘s leading rituals based on new life, a union of separate lives, or the end of life. However, I didn‘t love The Guncle. 12mo
JamieArc @monalyisha I believe said supper club novel was on your ALS list, right? I have plans to get to it this summer! I haven‘t read Kitchens but I did read the tagged and really liked it. I am one of the few who hasn‘t read The Guncle yet, but the premise piqued my interest, in part due to my love of the funeral scene in the film Waking Ned Devine. Have you seen it? If not, please do!

squirrelbrain Before I started this month I thought my choice would be easy… I didn‘t think that HHWGITD would be for me but actually I ended up really liking it, thanks to all of your input. However, ultimately, I still enjoyed True Biz more as well as learning so much from it, so I‘m voting for

Bookwormjillk I just liked both of them, so it‘s a hard choice. But ultimately there‘s one I can see myself reading again so I‘m going with

BkClubCare I, too, enjoyed HHWGitD more than I expected to but I appreciate even more the impact of True Biz; the extra ASL illustrations and even the punctuation provided to bring deaf culture to my reading experience. Both worthy books, my vote goes to

Cinfhen I appreciated all that Sara Novick taught me about deaf culture but in terms of writing and creativity I feel like Sequoia Nagamatsu set the bar a tad higher. (No pun intended 😉) My vote is for

Soubhiville Oh no we have to choose!? I loved them both. I could see myself recommending them both (actually already have…) But ultimately I have to agree with @Bookwormjillk that I‘m more likely to reread only one, so my vote is for

Leniverse Tricky. How long do we have to think about this? I liked both books, and they are so different in genre and style that it is difficult to compare them. 🤔 2y
Oryx I really like both, but HHWGITD for me

TrishB I never re-read so that‘s not a decider for me. I zoned out of 25% of How High and definitely wouldn‘t recommend to the casual reader. So I guess I‘m going for True Biz. 2y
MicheleinPhilly This is actually a really tough choice for me. How High was the book I was dreading the most because I knew it wasn‘t my thing, but that is the one that is going to stay with me. So even though I “enjoyed” it less, my vote is for

jlhammar This is hard. They are so different! True Biz was great, but it didn't quite have the wow factor for me that the Nagamatsu had. An immersive reading experience, emotionally hard-hitting with a very cool concept, I have to go with

Cathythoughts For me it‘s a very clear choice.. although I enjoyed the educational part of True Biz. I became more engaged with How High, I didn‘t always like it or understand it , but I felt it. I think we will see many prizes for this book that my vote goes to

Laughterhp I liked getting very educated by Sara Novic. And I liked the story better. I have a hard time with short stories even though they were a bit connected. I really enjoyed HHWGITD, but I think my vote goes to

batsy I liked parts of True Biz and learned a lot, but How High, despite it's uneven pacing because of the varied quality of the stories, has left a strong impression. I still recall certain moods and emotions from reading it—and the world it paints is both familiar and alienating. So my vote is for

Ruthiella Oh! I totally forgot we have to vote! 🙈Tough call since I really liked both. I‘m going to pick the one that I think has the better re-readability and I‘d say also the writing was stronger.

Megabooks Both were strong picks, and I really appreciate the Deaf culture/ASL education aspects of True Biz, but the creativity of How High and the concepts (like euthanasia) it made me think about ultimately makes How High better for me. Plus both the audiobook and print book were equally amazing!

Addison_Reads Tough choice, and I truly enjoyed them both. I am going with the one though that opened my mind and educated me on a community and culture I was quite ignorant of because in the end I feel like it is a book others need to read.

Deblovestoread True Biz: I appreciated learning about deaf culture and ASL but it was a weaker story and left too many loose ends. How High: imagination, emotions, and I will be rereading soon. My vote is

Hooked_on_books I really liked both these books, but the one that‘s sticking with me more is True Biz (I read both a while ago), so it gets my vote. It‘s actually the one I thought would win, but clearly we‘re leaning the other way! 2y
sarahbarnes True Biz. I really liked things about both of these books. I‘m going with TB because I learned so much in reading it. 2y
Suet624 If you read my review and my comments about True Biz you‘ll know I was disappointed in it. Yes, I learned about a culture that I really needed to learn about but I felt it should have been edited and have some wrap up at the end. HHWGITD was so creative and well written. Like others have said, I didn‘t expect to like it so I was truly surprised.

cariashley I had mixed feelings on both of these, and they come out about even for me, so it‘s a really tough call! I think How High gets my vote though as it was more my kind of book. The teen angst in TB grated a bit too much, even though I appreciated the very different perspective.

A camping Readathon - what a great idea! I‘m in! 1. Yurts sound so cool, but right now I prefer a cabin. 2. How about Custalogatown? That‘s a real camp and where some of my relatives were actually taken when they were captured by Native Americans in the 1700s - and it‘s close to where I live. 3. The Nature of Grace series by Shelli R. Johannes. 4. My goal is to finish 2 books and get outside every day!

Signed up at the last minute for #litsysummercamp hosted by @ImperfectCJ

My reading has really slowed this year and therefore I haven‘t been on Litsy as much as I used to be. This seems like a great way to fix both things! And virtual camp is much more my jam (damn those bugs lol)

I‘ll be reading The Whisper Man by Alex North and probably starting an audiobook as well. This should be fun!

Thank you @MatchlessMarie for this sweet little surprise! I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this pin. I‘ve already put it on my favorite tote. I‘ve never had the pandas and I‘m excited to try them. Thank you. It is pandastic!

BethM Those pandas are awesome- we had them as kids! 3y
MatchlessMarie I thought they tasted similar to pocky. When I was a kid I had relatives stationed in Japan and they would send us some. Hope you had a great holiday! 3y
