CSeydel As you can see I went for quantity over quality 😆 Sorry the books are a bit beat up. But they are in good shape on the inside! And I have never seen Twix coffee before - I stumbled upon it in a seasonal food display and thought of you. Hope it‘s tasty! (edited) 5d
BookwormAHN @CSeydel I like used books and I can't wait to try the coffee tomorrow 🧡 5d
BethM Mmmm report back on the coffee! 5d

Litsy family, I made a Stephen King appreciation music video for his birthday with some library coworkers! 😂 It would really mean a lot to me if you could watch it, like it, comment on it, whatever you feel like! 💗 📚 Thank you so much in advance!

HAPPY 78TH BIRTHDAY, STEPHEN KING!!! 🥳🎉🎈🎂

Stephen King remains one of my favorite authors of all time! Even though his stories are mostly thought of as horror, many of them are also funny, witty, thought-provoking, and poignant! And some of his books are even life-changing - I'm looking at you, Rose Madder! 🩷

Texreader Beautiful shelfie!! 6d

My #AAM choice for Kurt Vonnegut was a bit of a miss for me. Strange and quirky, it was a little too out there for me, the wild twists and turns kept taking me out of the story. I‘ve really enjoyed Breakfast of Champions when I read it years ago so this one might just not have been for me. #audio @Soubhiville

I really got into the story and characters in book 1 of this trilogy, so I raced right to book 2, and it disappointed me. The first third of this book is just fight after fight between our core group and various people, and fighting takes up a lot of the end, too. Very little is done to advance the story or characters. Really dull, and too long of a book for that! Now I don‘t know if I want to bother with book 3. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Cat's Cradle: A Novel | Kurt Vonnegut

John/Jonah interviews the children of one of the fathers of the atomic bomb for a book he‘s writing. At the same time he describes his new religion, Bokononism, which began when he finds the last of the children on an island called San Lorenzo. Meanwhile, the children have “inherited” a substance from their deceased father, the use of which sets the stage for the finale of the book. It‘s a humorous book (think John Scalzi), but I can understand ⬇️

Texreader why it‘s studied at length. It‘s anti-war. The people of San Lorenzo are about to celebrate the bravery of their young men who gave their lives when a German sub sinks their ship. The American ambassador gives a poignant speech full of meaning, which I loved. Unfortunately the plot, while already far-fetched with colorful characters, feels like it becomes a drug-induced fever dream. Hence, it‘s only so-so. #authoramonth @Soubhiville 4w

It's... okay, but some stuff that was meant to be funny was pretty meh, and I guess I felt kind of... “yes, and?“ about it. It wasn't that insightful, at least for someone with my particular academic background (both science and literature).

I think the author should stay in his lane and not foolishly declare that there will never be a pandemic with a high death toll just because COVID didn't kill that big a percentage of the population, or (contrary to actual fact) that the risk of disease decreases with globalisation (it increases).

Faranae I feel like knocking on all the wood thanks to this one guy now. 4w
shanaqui @Faranae Can you imagine my face when I read that chapter? 😅 Yeesh, dude. 4w
