I am not happy that it's already June (I'm excited about things we're doing in June and that both kids will be home, but it's crazy that May is already over), but I'm always happy to put together my #bookspin list. I've got my #roll100, my #authoramonth, and my #camplitsy25 included here. (We'll see if I can get all of my hashtags right.)

May is almost over #AuthorAMonth readers. It seems most folks have really liked their Percival Everett books 🙂.

In a few days we‘ll be picking up John Scalzi. I‘m going to have to go to the library to see what they have, since annoyingly Amazon has rights to most of his recent books and audiobooks. That really bugs me. But still, I‘m looking forward to it because he always makes me laugh.

I think I finally figured out my June #BookSpinBingo list. Of course I‘m still working on April but we won‘t focus on that. Looking forward to many warm sunsets on the patio with Not My Cat. I‘ll tag my 20 in the comments. @TheAromaofBooks

This #AuthorAMonth book wrecked me. It‘s the 5th Everett I‘ve read; every one has been an incredible experience. He published 3 versions of this book, where the stories diverge at 3 different fulcrum points — where thoughts either do/do not lead to actions and plans that are/are not followed to completion. The differences seem minor, but tiny choices have big impacts on the outcome. My version was C: If you‘ve read A or B, tell me your thoughts.

Ruthiella I read version C too. I wonder if there‘s a website that gives the endings for versions A and B? 🤔 5d
ChaoticMissAdventures Goodness. This man, he really is just brilliant. I love the idea of getting them all and reading each version. 5d
BarbaraJean I have this out from the library, planning to read this week! I just checked and mine is version A. I‘ll let you know what I think when I finish it! 5d

Amiable @BarbaraJean Yes! 🙌🏼 I‘m going to check our local used bookstore to see if I can find B. (edited) 5d
Amiable @Ruthiella I‘ve been searching but haven‘t found one yet … 4d
Amiable @ChaoticMissAdventures I know! I want to be a tourist inside his brain —it must be a fascinating place! And I also want to do a side-by-side-by-side comparison to see where and when the narratives veer or shift. 4d

sarahbarnes Mine is version C, too! I loved this one. I wonder what happens in the other versions. 4d

This man is a genius with words. The satire was on point throughout the whole book. I may have highlighted half the book.

“If you want to know a place, you talk to its history.”

Great author selection for #authoramonth @Soubhiville

My goodness! Fantastic! I completely understand accolades, awards, and astonishment that this book has received. I agree with others who have suggested this be taught alongside Huck Finn. Everett deftly managed to honor Twain‘s work while pointing out its flaws and shortcomings with care and love. #AAM #authoramonth @Soubhiville

This book was fantastic - moving, funny, emotional, and heartbreaking. I‘d argue it should be taught alongside Huckleberry Finn - if not in high school than in college.

Photo is of this past Friday‘s Girls Night outing - my first whiskey sour and it was delicious. #JumpstartSummer, am I right?

This book was wild. I think I might have to listen to it again to figure out what happened. It was funny though. The atheist priest had me rolling. I‘m giving it 4 stars but they‘re confused stars. #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

-Finishing James for #AuthorAMonth
-Starting in on my library read of my fave Kat Cho‘s latest & a NetGalley biography of one of the GOATs of pop - ABBA (new bio out on 6/17, looks like it‘s not on Litsy yet)
-Digging in to these series I‘ve wanted to watch forever 🤪

TheSpineView Great plan! Happy Reading 📚 1w
ChaoticMissAdventures Ohh biography of ABBA should have been released last week for Eurovision! I am excited to see what you think of it. 1w
