Litsy

DIESEL, A Bookstore in Del Mar | San Diego, CA (Bookstore)

One bookstore, one book for #CampLitsy24! It's the closest to my house and the farthest from all the others. We'll see if I can visit some more tomorrow and Monday. Maybe I can rope my home-from-college kid into going with me. At least one of these is near a cupcake shop, which will perhaps sweeten the deal. 🧁

ImperfectCJ I already own

Repost for #Megabooks

I am incredibly excited to be your counselor for July! We‘ll start off with the #1 vote getter, James, and if you haven‘t read Everett, be ready to leap into his backlist after this because he‘s wonderful. Then very appropriately we‘ll move on to Miranda July‘s All Fours. An artist on the edge? Yes, please! I hope you‘ll join us for one or both books! #CampLitsy24

Suet624 Thank you!!! 19h

jlhammar Exciting! I‘ve got James (though might be tempted to start it before July) and this will be my first experience with Miranda July. 19h

CBee Thanks Meg! 19h

sarahbarnes Yay!! Very excited for these two! 19h

TheKidUpstairs Exciting! Very much looking forward to James. I'm not a huge Miranda July fan, but what better reason to give her another try! 19h

Megabooks @Suet624 @CBee @sarahbarnes looking forward to seeing you at camp! 19h

Megabooks @jlhammar James is the only one for camp I‘ve already read, and I loved it! Even if you give into temptation, I hope you‘ll join us for discussion. 😁 19h

Megabooks @TheKidUpstairs I have her short story collection, but I haven‘t read it yet. I‘m going to try to get to it before I dive into this novel. I hope you will join us for both!

Caroline2 Ohhhh seriously intrigued about these two. 👍 19h

TrishB Thanks Meg 👍🏻 looking forward to them. 19h

mcctrish Oh yay! I so wanted James to get picked ❤️❤️ (edited) 19h

youneverarrived Happily surprised All Fours was chosen 😁 look forward to reading them both. 19h

Megabooks @TrishB @mcctrish @youneverarrived so glad you‘ll be joining us!! 18h

Megabooks @Caroline2 glad you‘re excited for camp, too! 18h

TheBookHippie I‘m in! I‘m excited for these two!! A camp Litsy first for me! 18h

BarbaraJean James was very high on my list and All Fours was very low on my list 😆 I have holds placed for James and I‘ll see if I can talk myself into the other before July! 18h

Bookwormjillk I was going to vote for James but thought a lot of other people would so I gave my vote to a different book. Happy to see my gamble paid off! 18h

batsy Fun! Need to brush up on my homework (read Huckleberry Finn 😁) 18h

Oryx Excited for both of these! 18h

Deblovestoread Looking forward to both of these! 💜🌸💜 17h

Meshell1313 Hooray! Sounds great! 17h

Ruthiella James is no surprise! 😅 I figured it would make it. Miranda July is so weird, so I can‘t wait to see what she‘s writing. 17h

Daisey I‘ve got James on audio, so I may need to keep it for this summer and follow the discussion. 16h

monalyisha Oh yay! I wasn‘t convinced All Fours would make it in. Love it! 🤩 15h

Bookbuyingaddict Hooray 🙌🏻 great picks thanks ☺️ 15h

Megabooks @TheBookHippie Awesome! 🎉 🎉 12h

Megabooks @BarbaraJean even if you just join us for James, I'll be glad to have you! 12h

Megabooks @Bookwormjillk yes! I don't remember the final number but about ⅓ of the campers voted for James. It was a very popular one! 12h

Megabooks @batsy yes, I may reread it, too. I'm not a huge Twain fan, but I am a huge Everett fan, and I loved James the first time I read it. I'm really pleased to be leading the discussion. 12h

Megabooks @Oryx @deblovestoread @meshell1313 really glad to have all of you at camp! 12h

Megabooks @Ruthiella same! I think every camp needs a slightly (or maybe very!) weird book. 12h

BarbaraBB @Daisey Please do! We would love you to join us for

James: A Novel

12h

Megabooks @Daisey I'd love for you to join us! 12h

Megabooks @monalyisha yes! I'm very excited All Fours made it in, too! Glad you'll be joining us this summer. 12h

Megabooks @Bookbuyingaddict yay! Glad you're excited! 12h

BarbaraBB @Megabooks So glad most people love these winners and I certainly am looking forward to both of them and discussing them with you as our host 💓 12h

TheBookHippie @batsy same… pulls out old book.. 12h

Larkken @batsy same! I started with Tom Sawyer tho, so I've gotten sidetracked I fear... 12h

kspenmoll All Fours I have not heard of & sounds intriguing! 11h

BkClubCare Wowza! One I voted for (I think?) and one I am reading now. 😎 10h

Chelsea.Poole @TheKidUpstairs I‘m not a huge fan of July either but I am willing to give her a shot too…I have a feeling camp will help me appreciate her! 7h

JamieArc I‘ve been impatiently waiting all day to see this and I‘m glad I checked your page to discover you posted this hours ago! 😂😂. I‘ve been saving James, convinced it would make the cut. Glad to see it did! 7h

Megabooks @JamieArc I don‘t know why you didn‘t make it on the tag list!! I assume you want to be added?? Glad you checked and are excited about James! 6h

Megabooks @kspenmoll @BkClubCare so excited you‘re coming to camp! 6h

AmyG Awesome! Thank you!!!! 5h

Kitta Before reading James, should I read

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Prairiegirl_reading This is great! I already got Clear just because of the long list! I‘m excited to read it! Thanks for taking the time to encourage me to join! 😊 2d

BarbaraBB @Prairiegirl_reading And there‘s more to come. We‘ll be reading some great books and it will be so fun to discuss them during Camp! Glad you‘ve joined! 2d

sarahbarnes Very excited for these choices! I just learned that a friend‘s daughter was the editor for Clear so now I‘m even more excited to read it. 2d

batsy Nice! Very keen to read both 😍 2d

Leniverse Oh! Yes, super happy. I voted for both of those, and I'm especially looking forward to Clear ❤️ 2d

Leniverse @BarbaraBB Yes, you did 😂 2d

ImperfectCJ I didn't have the bandwidth for voting this time, but I'm totally comfortable having put myself in y'all's capable hands. 😀 Quite excited to read these! 2d

TheBookHippie I‘m in for Clear. 🙃 2d

Kitta So excited for these! I voted for Clear so glad to see it up there 2d

BarbaraBB @Leniverse 🤣 I‘m sorry! 2d

BarbaraBB @ImperfectCJ I missed your votes but you are right, you will enjoy the books votes for! 2d

BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie 👍🏽👍🏽 2d

BarbaraBB @RaeLovesToRead It‘s a short one. I read an earlier book by the author and that one was very readable! 2d

BarbaraBB @Kitta Glad you like them! 2d

Deblovestoread Excited to read both of these! 2d

BarbaraBB @Deblovestoread Yay! I thought you would! 2d

TrishB Brilliant ❤️ look forward to it. 2d

monalyisha Hooray! Thanks for all of your work! 2d

julesG This is what I like about Camp Litsy, it drags me out of my comfort zone. 😉 I had neither book on my radar; well, apart from the nominations. 2d

TheBookHippie @julesG SAME!! It‘s never a book I‘d read 😅 2d

JamieArc Woohoo 🎉 Glad for an excuse to hit the bookstore this weekend to pick them up! And looking forward to what @Megabooks has for us tomorrow! 2d

JenReadsAlot @julesG @TheBookHippie Same!! 2d

Suet624 Thank you so much!!! 2d

CBee Thank you ladies ♥️♥️ 2d

jlhammar Yay! I already have Clear and Butter sounds great. Can‘t wait! 2d

kspenmoll Thanks! 2d

Bookwormjillk Yay! 2d

AmyG Ooooooo thank you! So excited! 2d

youneverarrived Fab! Look forward to reading them ❤️ 2d

BarbaraJean So excited!! Clear was one of my top choices, but I marked Butter with an “eh” ranking 😂 I‘ve put it on hold anyway and will give it a shot if I can get it in time! 2d

Megabooks Clear just came in at the library for me!! 2d

peaKnit Got my holds placed! 1d

KateReadsYA Yayyy! I voted for Clear. I've placed my hold at the library (: 1d

Looking forward to Camp with you all🤍 1d

TheBookHippie @BarbaraBB my annual summertime snark 😅😘🤭🤷🏻‍♀️ I‘m looking forward to reading with you all!!! 1d

Megabooks @JamieArc idk 😏🏕️🤔🤔🚣🏿‍♀️ 1d

Chelsea.Poole A CLEAR favorite! Glad to see it make camp! Pretty surprised about Butter, but very much looking forward to it as well 🧈 1d

Chelsea.Poole @TheKidUpstairs I feel like Clear is such a you-book!! 1d

TheKidUpstairs @Chelsea.Poole you're so right! I already own a copy (I had it pre-ordered). I was about to start reading it, but then I saw there was a lot of camp interest! Can't wait to read it with everyone 1d

TheKidUpstairs @BarbaraJean I had the same reaction to Butter. But that's one of the great things about camp, it paid you to try books you might pass up otherwise. Who knows, it could be a total hit! 1d

Roary47 I‘m excited to try these out with everyone. 🥰 1d

Hooked_on_books I read about Clear shortly before it came out and knew I had to read it immediately, so I did so when it showed up at my library. It‘s slim but I think there‘s a lot to talk about. I know almost nothing about Butter, so we‘ll see what I think about it when my hold comes in! 24h

Bookbuyingaddict Amazing. 🤩 I purchased clear in London yesterday and already ordered butter 🧈 from the library 📚 thank you ☺️ for organising this #camplitsy24 which do we read first ? @BarbaraBB 21h

Meshell1313 Hooray! Sounds great!! 17h

BarbaraBB @Bookbuyingaddict Such coincidence! I hope you‘ll like them. We‘ll read Clear first (edited) 12h

RaeLovesToRead TOO EXCITED 3d

Ruthiella I voted (I think?). I will check! 3d

Hooked_on_books Ah, teasing us by trickling out the results, I see! Devious! 3d

CatLass007 I read some excellent books with y‘all last year and I had only just come back to Litsy after a long hiatus. My favorite was Bandit Queens and I hope the author is working away at her next book. I learned a lot from Hijab Butch Blues and enjoyed Lamya‘s story. I wish them well. I didn‘t care for Yellowface and it seemed like there were others at Camp who felt the same way. I still don‘t understand how it became such a big hit. I didn‘t (cont)⬇️ 2d

CatLass007 vote last year so I think I‘ll just trust the judgment of my fellow campers again this year. 2d

CBee Yayyyyyy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2d

BarbaraBB @CatLass007 we do hope and are fairly sure we‘ll read another bunch of great books! 2d

BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books Haha, yes 🙌🏽 2d

AmyG Awesome! 2d

KarenUK I‘m so excited to see the winners…. So many choices it was hard to pick! 2d

BarbaraBB @KarenUK I hope you‘ll like the winners but I am pretty sure you will! 2d
