Bibliophile: An Illustrated Miscellany | Jane Mount

What am I #grateful for? Every year at Thanksgiving we take turns saying one thing we are thankful for & for many years now my answer has been: books. It is of course, the characters, entertainment & wisdom that they have provided. Friends, really 💙 Also, all the wonderful connections I have made in the nearly decade (!!) I have been on Litsy, the best social media site for talking about books.

Library therapy wins over retail therapy imo (gentler on the wallet). Swallows is the new one by Kirino, author of Out

Ruthiella For sure. Plus, circulation for the library helps it justify its existence. Win-Win-Win! 👏👏👏 2w

vivastory @Ruthiella I'm definitely doing my part for library circulation 📚📚📚📚 2w

Reggie I‘ve only read one by Matt Serafini but I love his writing. Hope it‘s good. 2w

Rites of Extinction

Reggie Yes!!!! Love that book. 2w

vivastory @Reggie it's been on my Kindle ever since shades of orange praised it 2w

vivastory @Reggie I think you will like Lamb .. seems like it's one of the best current examples of female rage/cannibalism. Also: do you have movies lined up for tomorrow? If so, share! 2w

Reggie @vivastory I‘m behind on this year‘s movies. I‘m dressing up, going out to eat with a friend, and then going to karaoke. What are you gonna watch? 2w

So Many Books, 2nd Edition: Reading and Publishing in an Age of Abundance | Gabriel Zaid

pick

This is such a good read. Lots of great insights and a bit of a deep think on the economics of book publishing. But he tackles ebooks and digital reading as well. It‘s not quite the “update” I was hoping for as there is zero mention of AI, etc. but it‘s worthwhile for the conversation around culture and the importance of reading physical books in a world flooded with thousands of new books a year. #booksaboutbooks

The Book of the Month: Sixty Years of Books in American Life | Al Silverman

Made this a more expensive, but more epic book box delivery this month because I‘m supposed to be pausing my account until I thin out the BOTM books I already have, but then I realized November might have to be my final month because I still don‘t have two of the hats from the BOTM shop!!
Sometimes you just have to treat yourself, and then do it again…..and again…..and again……

AmyG Love the hats! 1mo

The Book Lover's Almanac: A Year of Literary Events, Letters, Scandals and Plot Twists | Alex Johnson

From yesterday‘s reading.

Apparently bookstores have been under threat before, and they‘re still here

Suet624 Ummm… what is this book? Is it a series of events or is there a narrative? It looks fascinating from your photo. 1mo

AnneCecilie @Suet624 It‘s book that mentions literary things that happened every day of the year. It might be diary notes, things authors did, things that happens in books. At the beginning of each month it has all the authors born and works published and at the end authors how died. It‘s probably a little English and English speaking focused (edited) 1mo

Suet624 That‘s so cool! 1mo

AnneCecilie @Suet624 I know. So I read the date every day, or try to, and sometimes it‘s just a few lines and others it‘s maybe a page 1mo
