repost for @Soubhiville:

It‘s February #AuthorAMonth readers. This month we‘ll be celebrating Roxane Gay. What are you planning to read?

I haven‘t gotten to this year‘s Google form yet. I will try to do that by my mid month post so you can start recording what you‘ve read. In the meantime, if you use StoryGraph here‘s the link to the challenge there:

Finding Me: A Memoir | Viola Davis

In light of recent developments, I decided to lean into Black History Month for the month of February. My remaining book club and #authoramonth selections are already poised in that direction. While looking at my TBR list, I remembered something from my year end stats that I forgot to post at the time.

On both Goodreads and StoryGraph, Finding Me was the highest rated of the books I read in 2024. Isn‘t that interesting?

BarbaraTheBibliophage Finding Me is amazing and the author reads the audiobook, which is even better!! 12h

Kitta I read Hunger last year and wow. So good but so hard to read. I‘d recommend it a lot to anyone doing the challenge, however major trigger warnings for rape, eating disorder, and fatphobia. 1d
vlwelser I love her. Her book recs are 🔥 in addition to her own books. I have this queued up 1d
dariazeoli I‘m hoping to get to both Not That Bad (edited) and Opinions (wrote) this month! 1d
Jess Thanks for the StoryGraph link. I just started using that app! I‘ve read the majority of Roxane‘s books (absolutely love her) but am going to go with Not That Bad on audio and 1d
BarkingMadRead I‘ve never read her before, I‘m reading Hunger 1d
TheBookHippie I did order her new penguin but it got delayed til end of March https://a.co/d/5cm5cle 1d
AmyG I just started (edited) 1d
Texreader I‘m starting with 1d
Read4life I have Bad Feminist and Hunger to read this month. 23h
DebinHawaii I‘m starting with Bad Feminist & hopefully fitting in Not That Bad too. 23h
Deblovestoread I wanted to reread An Untamed State. It‘s so good but harrowing and I‘m not sure I‘m up for it so will start with 23h
willaful I'm worried about some of the rougher topics right now. I'm planning to start with Opinions, a collection of essays. 20h
Singout I‘m skipping this month: I just read Hunger (highly recommended) and I‘m doing too many challenges! 19h
tpixie @willaful that might be best for me also 15h
DogMomIrene I‘m going to read 15h
Sace I‘m going to try to read and finish Hunger on time, but I‘m listing to Ayiti for backup. 12h

Whose Body? | Dorothy Sayers

#AuthorAMonth I tried to listen to this but I just couldn‘t. Things I liked about this book are that Lord Peter is a book lover, his mother doesn‘t think his hobby is inappropriate, he has a “Jeeves”-type character who helps him. Things I didn‘t like are that he behaves like solving crimes is all a lark, cheerfully going to the house where the body was found and joyfully disturbing the crime scene. And he rhymes, rhymes about murder. As I (cont)⬇️

CatLass007 began writing this review I considered that if he were on the Spectrum, rhyming might be a coping mechanism. But I didn‘t get a Spectrum vibe, although I‘m no expert. #HailTheBail (edited) 2d
dabbe The anti-semitism was awful, too. #hailthebail! #betterbooksahead 🤩 2d
charl08 Wow, that is the worst Wimsey cover I've seen. So wrong! 2d

Soubhiville Ha, this is the first I‘m hearing about the rhyming. That would turn me off too. 2d
CatLass007 @dabbe Yes, it was. I forgot to mention that. It really, really was. 2d
CatLass007 @charl08 I like to read a series in order but it wasn‘t available on LIBBY for weeks, so I bought it from Audible for $1.37. Never having read any of the series before, I didn‘t really know anything about what the cover should look like. But we all know never to judge a book by its cover.😊😜 2d

Unnatural Death | Dorothy L. Sayers

Pickpick

No murder but Lord Wimsey trusts his gut and investigates anyway. He finds motive and countless suspicious circumstances but no evidence of murder, until another person dies. And no evidence that it was murder. The hint of racism appears again and that turned me off quite a bit so that I won‘t continue the series. Saved, just barely, by some instances of lol humor and a nice analysis of how changes in laws create motives for murder. #authoramonth
