Help me choose!

These are the remaining novels I have left in my TBR stack from last years Brooklyn Book Festival. The goal is to finish before this years event at the end of September.

How should I start? 📚 ✨

ChaoticMissAdventures I have only read 1 but really loved the darkness and science aspects of this and thought it was very good.

Good news! I have my personal shortlist narrowed down to 11 with 19 runners-up 😭 #camplitsy24
I'll mull which would be most fun to buddy read rather than devour immediately in one sitting today and hopefully vote tonight 🫣

Megabooks, squirrelbrain, BarbaraBB

dabbe Holy guacamole, Batman! What research! 😮🤩🤗 7mo

squirrelbrain Oh you‘re nearly there then! 🤪 And you could be my #spreadsheetsoulmate 🤣 7mo

BarbaraBB I am still mulling too 🤯 7mo

Kitta Love the spreadsheet highlighting! I should have done that and put more effort in. I picked two memoir, two scifi and two literary fiction based on what was on my tbr. 7mo

Larkken @dabbe @squirrelbrain @Kitta spreadsheets are my happy place, so my Sunday was well spent 🦸‍♀️ 7mo

Larkken @Kitta ooh nice approach! I like the potential variety 😍 7mo

Sace While I am not voting (and I‘m on the fence about participating) I am doing some similar highlighting. Mind you, I have more than enough to read already but I cannot resist having more recommendations. 7mo

BarbaraJean Hahaha--I love this!! I also have a spreadsheet going with my research, but your color-coding takes it up a notch! My ranking system goes: Nah, Eh, Maybe, OK, Yes, and YES. With two for YES and eight for Yes, I'm only about 60% through the list 😂 7mo

Larkken @Sace Oh, there are definitely some books that are going on my “read it NOW” list rather than my “wouldn‘t this be a great buddy read? It warrants a thoughtful approach” list 🫣😆 Such a great resource! And I thought there wasn‘t much coming out this spring that I wanted to read, lol. 7mo

Larkken @BarbaraJean That definitely sounds about right - ranking and otherwise! Your gradient approach is just word-based! 😂 7mo

I'm finally recovered enough from my busy evening to put together some ideas for my book for #LMPBC #Round19 #GroupT
Thoughts @robinb @TheAromaofBooks @Jerdencon ?

Jerdencon All sound good - but Celine would be my pic 13mo

robinb I haven‘t read any of these so I‘m fine with the consensus. 👍😊 13mo

TheAromaofBooks I don't have a strong opinion, so I am fine with Celine since @Jerdencon has suggested it 😂 13mo

I had maybe 15 pages left of the current book, then I packed two books, then library holds arrived and now I‘m on a three day trip with five books 🤷🏼‍♀️. Update: I started Decent People, and I am loving it!

intothehallofbooks I LOVED Survivor Song. 2y

Here is most of my BotM backlog @kellyann28 @cwarnier @allureofbeauty
Let me know what you've read and which ones look most appealing! #GroupC #LMPBC

kellyann28 I have read People We Meet on Vacation and Pachinko (loved both)! I am interested most in I Must Betray You and Beautiful Country! I will say I am not into Peter Pan retellings (which I know is unpopular 😂), but would be happy with any of the others! 2y

cwarnier I have not read any of these. They all look good, 2y

allureofbeauty I‘d vote cartographers or maybe I must betray you. Or maybe the people we keep. 2y

staci.reads @allureofbeauty @cwarnier @kellyann28 I'm going with I Must Betray You. Ruta Sepetys has never let me down. Here's hoping this one's a winner too! 2y

kellyann28 Ruta Sepetys is such a good hist fic author. Excited for this one! 2y

These three are on US Kindle sale today for $1.99 and have gotten good reviews here.

Any comments from those who have read them?

marleed I just read the tagged and Loved the history in it.

The Paris Bookseller

robinb @marleed Just from the blurb it sounds fascinating. 😊 2y

EvieBee Bummed I missed out on these! Library it is, I guess. 2y

robinb @EvieBee 😔 I could only pick one so I went with this one, but they all sound wonderful.

The Women of Chateau Lafayette

Climbing into bed a little early, but I have a problem! I‘m about 2/3 of the way done with the behemoth, Empire of the Vampire (really good!), and I just received my next #LMPBC short story collection by China Miéville. I can‘t decide which to go with!!

Readergrrl

Empire of the Vampire (Empire of the Vampire, Book 1)

Readergrrl

Three Moments of an Explosion: Stories

TheSpineView I loved Empire of the Vampire. That would be my pick. 3y

Which do I read first?
I can't decide! 😩

ravenlee I always go with Mercy - but the other is still sitting on my shelf unread, so I can‘t judge fairly. 3y

TrishB I enjoyed the left! Not read any Biggs! 3y

Crinoline_Laphroaig I loved, loved, loved House in the Cerulean Sea. 3y

HeathHof Based on the feedback I recieved, my book is going to be Things Fall Apart.

Things Fall Apart

staci.reads @Mynameisacolour Wonderful! What color pen will you use for markups? 3y

LiteraryinPA I‘ll do Dunbar! Can you remind me what pen colors have already been chosen? Thanks! 3y

staci.reads @LiteraryinLititz sounds good! Pink and green have already been chosen. 3y

HeathHof I'd like to go with pencil if that's good with everyone. 3y

I rarely do these but it was right up my alley and tough!
Don't make me choose between fireplaces and the beach!

@DarkMina

Tagging @llcoolnate @BookBudget19

llcoolnate Wow these are some tough ones but I agree with all of it!! I'd be slightly fireplace tho. But that is a tough one! Depends too much on the book to me :) 4y

emz711 @llcoolnate I don't know if I've ever read in front of a fireplace but it sounds nice! 4y

DarkMina Thanks for playing! 4y

TheLibrarian Hahaha I have the same feelings about the fireplace or beach but I caved and chose beach. I‘m glad to see I‘m not the only one who selected having your favorite character die. 4y
