Kindred | Octavia Butler

pick

This is so good. Everyone should read it. Not sure how I got tricked into another time travel book but this is probably the best.

A Few Rules for Predicting the Future: An Essay | Octavia E. Butler

pick

There‘s not a lot to this little coffee table book, based on an essay by the Great one. But as a person deeply affected by her Parable duology and how both upsetting and comforting it was reading it in this intense political moment, it serves as a solid reminder. #AuthorAMonth

Parable of the Sower / Parable of the Talents / Kindred | Octavia E. Butler

repost for @Soubhiville

Happy October #AuthorAMonth readers! My post is late this month as I had a visit from my sister and my Mom just moved in with me. I hope you‘ve already picked up your October author, Octavia Butler. Please take care of yourself while reading, as she goes dark and her fiction feels timely as she addresses inequality and other fights we are currently in politically.

What are you hoping to read?

vlwelser I have Kindred queued up. Probably the only person that hasn't read it. 1w

Melismatic I have Wild Seed set. I adore Octavia so much but Kindred & the Parable duology would be tough rereads right now. Would absolutely recommend either if you‘ve never read them though! 1w

TheBookHippie Having read her books -I‘m sitting this out. All are very good. However use caution… Parable of the Sower especially. 1w

TheBookHippie How lovely to have visits and I hope it goes well with your mom getting settled. 1w

Bookwormjillk I hope your mom enjoys WNC. I‘m going to read Parable of the Talents for the first time. While Sower was tough it was also a tiny bit hopeful. 1w

AmyG I have Parable of the Sower next to me. 😬 1w

vonnie862 I am currently reading Parable of the Sower. 1w

CatLass007 I have Parable of the Sower and Kindred. I also may read her biography, Positive Obsession by Susana M. Morris. 1w

Bklover @vlwelser You aren‘t the only one- I‘m reading Kindred too😉 1w

Sace I have Parable of the Sower and Wild Seed in mind. Reading the comments I might opt for Wild Seed. 1w

gossamerchild Ooof, I was planning on reading Parable of the Talents, but I'm doubting whether or not I can handle this right now. I loved Fledgling, though. 1w

Little Dorrit | Charles Dickens

I‘m finally posting my September stats. A good month for me. And the tagged book was my favorite, which was for #whattheDickens

I read 4 Kurt Vonnegut books for #authoramonth,
3 books about #Nicaragua #foodandlit,
1 belated book for #Peru #foodandlit,
2 Louise Penny Three Pines books for #serieslove, &
1 book for work

@Cuilin @Soubhiville @Catsandbooks @TheSpineView

Cuilin How do you think Little Dorrit compares to other Dickens you have read? I personally didn‘t enjoy it as much as others, but I think that was a me thing. 🤷‍♀️ 1w

Unexpected Stories | Octavia E. Butler

So-so. I felt like both stories ended abruptly and without having any real climactic moment.

#AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

Soubhiville I just realized I haven‘t had time to do the October post yet! Yikes! Thanks for reminding me! 😬 1w

DHill 😊I‘m just glad all is ok. Was a bit worried when you hadn‘t posted. 1w

BookSpinBingo | Untitled

DNF'd my #Bookspin (Miss Giardino) but loved my #Doublespin, Tom Lake. Didn't finish any #RollTheDie books.

Read several #AuthorAMonth books. I preferred Vonnegut's unpublished stories to his later plotless rambles.

Sort of loved/hated the #HashtagBrigade read Brideshead Revisited.

TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Fantastic progress!! 2w

Crinoline_Laphroaig I couldn't bring myself to care about anyone in Brideshead Revisted. But the Hashtags and memes made it fun! 2w
