Next to Heaven | James Frey

What is Litsy thinking about liar and admitted AI user James Frey being a #botm choice? TBH, the subject matter seems a bit lame, too. Swinging has been done at least since The Ice Storm. This sort of sounds like a rip off.

https://www.centrepompidou.fr/en/pompidou-plus/magazine/article/james-frey-i-use...

CBee Weird coincidence - just finished She‘s Come Undone (a reread) which was an Oprah pick. I read Frey‘s book too and thought it was powerful - felt pretty betrayed TBH when that whole scandal happened. Saw his name on BOTM and was surprised, but who knows? I guess everyone deserves a second chance 🤷‍♀️ Will be interested to see what folks think of his new book. 2d

AmyG I am curious about this book, too. But I won‘t buy it or any of his books. I, too, felt a bit betrayed by him. 2d

mollyrotondo I am definitely annoyed that BOTM picked this because if the original scandal wasn‘t enough, he has in recent years exploited MFA writers for his own profit and stated he uses AI to write his books. BOTM always promoted writers and debut authors so to highlight this guy is a far departure from what I thought they stood for. 2d

Deblovestoread Was shocked it was on there and I‘m not at all interested in getting it. I hope there is a collective ignoring that sends a message to BOTM. 2d

BarbaraBB Isn‘t he the one who lied before? 2d

Suet624 Seriously disappointing. 2d

marleed I‘m skipping this one. I read A million little pieces before the controversy. It was meaningful to me and even learning much was fictionalized the impact of my actual read remained. I also think publishers at that time were equally if not more responsible for marketing a new author work as a full-out memoir and then the unanticipated Oprah attention blew the marketing out of control. …That said, I‘ve had no interest in reading him since 2d

King of Ashes | S. A. Cosby

My #botm choices this month! I was on the fence about A Family Matter, but then I saw @squirrelbrain ‘s review and picked it up.

King of Ashes is our awesome #CampLitsy25 August pick, and Other Side sounded like a nice light summer read.

BarbaraBB

Prairiegirl_reading The Other Side of Now is on my maybe list. I‘m curious what you‘ll think. 2d

JamieArc I was going back and forth about this one and decided to wait. I wish I had seen her review first though! Perhaps it will go in my box next month. 2d

squirrelbrain I do like to be helpful! 🤣 2d

King of Ashes | S. A. Cosby

#BOTM must have known we were reading this for #CampLitsy25 😂

With this I‘ll have 2 BOTM copies of #CampLitsy books (King of Ashes & Wild Dark Shore), 2 from my local independent bookshop (Tilt & Death of the Author) and 2 from Libby (Audition & Woodworking)!

Anyone else reading from a mix of different sources?

AmyG Ha! I ordered this, too. I was so excited. 2d

JamieArc I was glad we were warned this would be a BOTM choice (maybe by @Megabooks ?) so I didn‘t acquire it earlier. 2d

Kitta @JamieArc oh I had no idea we were warned! I must have missed that post! 2d

Bookwormjillk I bought the first two for kindle, but am hoping to get the rest from the library. 2d

Megabooks Yes, I didn‘t tag everyone, but I probably should have! And yes, many sources for me. Same two from BOTM that you got. Tilt and Author from @AardvarkBookClub . Plus Audition from Parnassus and Woodworking from Amazon (I know…🤦🏻‍♀️) 2d

Kitta @Bookwormjillk the wait for tilt and Death of the author was 24 weeks for me on Libby! So I just bought them! I wanted to have them by the time camp started. 2d

Kitta @Megabooks a good mix! I still buy stuff from Amazon sometimes. Not really books except kindle deals, but I‘m trying to switch it up and get what I can from the library. Also I‘m part of a BOTM spoiler group so I knew it would be a pick! I just didn‘t know others knew 😆 2d

Megabooks @Kitta yeah, I follow the BOTM and Aardvark boards on Reddit. Those folks are sleuths! 2d

Kitta @Megabooks yes, its so impressive! 1d
