Adam and Teddy embark on a roadtrip, a bit impulsive, but never mind. They‘re boys, almost men, they are friends and they are fed up with school and family.

The trip soon spins out of control: testosterone, indifference, too much confidence and some darker motives take over. In a dense story the book shows the darker side of male friendship.

Itchyfeetreader Sorry I have bene a bit delayed in responding - this is an awesome list @Born.A.Reader Its clear @Monalysha wins again as #5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 18 and 19 are alll also true for me! And on number 4 one of my fun facts (not on my list) is that I got married at the chapel at the Tower of London - starting marriage where Anne Bolyn is allegedy buried may not be auspicious but we seem to be holding on in! 2w

Born.A.Reader @Itchyfeetreader That is such a neat fact! One day I'd like to make it over to England, and the Tower is on my list to visit. Medieval England is my favorite era within historical fiction. 2w

monalyisha @Born.A.Reader & @Itchyfeetreader Wow! That‘s so many things in common! 🤩 2w

Book #17 of 2025: “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou

This was one of those books I always meant to read but just finally got around to. It‘s beautiful, sad, rich, and full of wisdom. We are better for having had Maya Angelou in the world.

Haven't been on Litsy in forever, but I miss it! So I'm putting in some books I've read recently. This was #17 in the Kate Burkholder series. How does Castillo keep coming up with such different ideas?

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century | Timothy Snyder

pick

Lesson #17 is our current state: “Listen for dangerous words: Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.” There were 4 shootings in 24 hours this weekend. When the violence is done by another white male, there is an excuse. But no laws are made for gun control. Instead anyone on the “left” has now been labeled as an

ncsufoxes extremist. Giving a vague generalization as to who is the “enemy” is dangerous & one we should all be concerned about. Characterizing transgender persons as dangerous & violent is another step in labeling other people as the enemy. But meanwhile normalizing the terror that certain agencies are imparting on anyone that is not white is horrific & we should all be angry over this. Anyhow very quick read of part guidance but also makes you say holy 3mo

ncsufoxes crap we‘re descending into something other than democracy (authoritarianism, theocracy, oligarchy, facism) 3mo

Ruthiella 100% agree. 3mo

February 2025 Book #2 (book 1 in this duology)

I still think my favorite book is Elena Knows but this one was a great story. A thriller involving a triangle relationship. Only 162 pages and it was amazing of how many twists it has. Unlikable characters but so well described. I really like Claudia‘s writing style, how she develops these characters. However, there were some actions in our main character that I found unrealistic or too convenient⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) Don‘t want to say much because this is a short book. 3.8/4 ⭐️4 because I love the writing style 3.8 because of those unrealistic parts

A Deadly Dedication | Margaret Loudon

so-so

Fourth novel in the Open Book Mystery series, and even if there are more, this will be my last. It was a cute series, but by this book, I was tired of the repetition of simple information and the supposedly cute quirks of the aim character. She's not an investigator, and even when she just falls into information, she seems proud of having found it. #17-2025

The book Zuckerberg does not want people to read. The author cannot promote it but Macmillan can sell it- The story is on my IG if anyone is interested.
Anyone one else hear about this book?

jen_the_scribe I have not heard of this one, but this is one of many reasons why I love Litsy. Word of mouth gets more books read than anything else. Stacked, and I plan to share my insights on it when I do read it. 9mo

TheBookgeekFrau I ordered it Saturday right after I saw something on instagram about the author not being able to promote it on Meta platforms. 9mo

Bookwormjillk It was in a bookshop.org email when it came out. I put it on library hold based on the blurb, but this makes me want to buy a copy. 9mo

lil1inblue I stacked the book as soon as I read your first sentence. My loathing of Zuckerberg (and most tech bros) knows no bounds. I will be buying multiple copies of this book. 9mo

DogMomIrene My library doesn‘t have a copy yet. I hit that Notify Me tag in Libby and I‘ll let that cook. If I get itchy to read this one, I‘ll buy it. Because Zuck just disgusts me. I‘m surprised more of his employees aren‘t telling their tales. I‘m thinking there‘s a market for them and I‘d guess different people from different areas with various levels of access would have things to share🤞🏼 9mo

Cuilin There is a TikTok account reading excerpts from it!!!! 9mo

Deblovestoread As soon as I read she couldn‘t promote it I ordered a copy. B&N had it at $5 off when I ordered mine. 9mo
