Litsy

14 Weeks | Jessica Gadziala

I know myself, with #CampLitsy25 on its way and probably #CampToB25 (why hasn‘t it been announced yet?!) and the upcoming #Booker longlist I know I‘ll keep changing my reading plans. So to make it doable I chose the shortest books on my TBR shelves for #14Books14Weeks. Looking forward to reading all of these!

James: A Novel | Percival Everett

pick

#Bibliophile Day 14: #PulitzerWinner this year - with all the accompanying drama. My thoughts on the book framed alongside our #CampLitsy24 questions. Maybe one of our selected books for #CampLitsy25 will again make it to the Pulitzer! Who knows?

Death of the Author: A Novel | Nnedi Okorafor

In the game of library holds, I usually find that timing fails me. This has arrived about 6 weeks too soon… meanwhile I also have the ebook version on hold, which says it‘ll be an 18-week wait 😂 #CampLitsy25

I am adding the final two winners to the #CampLitsy25 reads. We‘ll be reading Tilt and King of Ashes in August. We are super excited about this mix of books and we hope you are too! I‘ll post an overview of all six books next so you know what books you might want to get a hold of!

Thanks to @TrishB for putting this on my radar by nominating it for #camplitsy25. Pub date 22nd May in the UK.

Margaret is 10 years old when her safe family life is fractured. Now, 25 years later, she tries to reconcile her childhood with that of her two young daughters.

There are so many great debut novels out at the moment, and this is one of them.

BarbaraBB I‘ve been interested in this one. Stacking now! 4d

TrishB Looking forward to it 👍🏻 4d

Cathythoughts I‘m going to get it 👍🏻❤️ 3d

CatLass007 Thank you! A couple of these already are on my wish list so I‘ll just bump them up a bit. 4d

Kitta Ooh I‘m so excited! Not the ones I voted for but it‘ll be great to read some new authors. I love #CampLitsy! 4d

TheKidUpstairs Love the variety! Looking forward to another year of camp! 4d

squirrelbrain Hooray! 6 wonderful books to discuss! 4d

Ruthiella Great mix of books. Camp‘s gonna be fun! 🤩 4d

Deblovestoread Fantastic bunch of books! Yay for camp 🏕️ 4d

BarbaraBB @Kitta @TheKidUpstairs @CatLass007 I am glad you‘re happy within the results. It will be a great reading summer! 4d

BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain Yes! Really happy with the results! Now I have to get those books and start reading! 4d

DGRachel What a mix! Two I‘m really looking forward to reading, three that are intriguing 🤔, and one that I want to run screaming from. 🤣🤣 (edited) 4d

Graciouswarriorprincess @BarbaraBB Please tag me! 4d

peaKnit Ooh Tilt was on my TBR! 4d

BarbaraBB @Graciouswarriorprincess I did didn‘t I? If not something went wrong because you are definitely on the taglist 4d

BarbaraBB @DGRachel Now I am really curious which one that is! 4d

DGRachel @BarbaraBB LOL. I was thinking of Audition. Most of these are (as usual) out of my comfort zone. Tilt sounds like it will break me, but Audition looks like the one I am least likely to enjoy and will be the hardest to pick up. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4d

BarbaraBB @DGRachel at least it‘s short! But you can of course skip it and arrive at camp when we start Wild Dark Shores which I already read and is so, so good! 4d

KarenUK Great list! Looking forward to it ❤️ 4d

Megabooks I think the campers have chosen great books this year and several genres, too, which is fantastic! Scifi, dystopian, thriller, lit fic! It‘s going to be a great summer!! (edited) 4d

BkClubCare The WHOLE slate! 🎉 4d

BkClubCare @DGRachel - and that is the fun? I personally am NOT looking forward to the SAC. It is so NOT my genre. 4d

DGRachel @BkClubCare It is the reason I come to Camp! It‘s a celebration of readers and our differences. Whether I enjoy the book or not, I enjoy the conversation about it. The SAC is the one I‘m looking forward to the most. 😂 4d

BkClubCare @DGRachel - I DNF‘d the one of his I tried 😔 It was just TOO MUCH. Is this one part of a series? (Hoping NO) 4d

CSeydel Thank you so much for hosting! 4d

BarbaraBB @Megabooks Yes I love that it is sort of eclectic 😀 (edited) 4d

BarbaraBB @DGRachel @BkClubCare I too love that we have different tastes and some of these books might not be my first choices but I know the discussion will add so much to them! And SAC is not part of a series as far as I know! 4d

BarbaraBB @peaKnit @KarenUK @CSeydel We‘ll have some good times ahead of us I think, with reading these books and discussing them! 4d

BkClubCare @BarbaraBB - Thank you. You are a Litsy inspiration to me. Happy (American?!) Mother Day 4d

CSeydel @BkClubCare Yeah that‘s the way it goes with Camp Litsy, LOL! I wish we had a “semifinals” voting round so we could narrow down our choices, but in the end it‘s just for fun 🤷🏻‍♀️I might read Death of the Author and Tilt but the others, no thanks. (I do enjoy SA Cosby, his books are great thrillers but not really discussion material.) (edited) 4d

Chelsea.Poole Looking forward to discussing these with you all. Such a nice variety! 🏕️ Thanks to the hosts for the thoughtful questions and keeping the campers in line! 3d

BarbaraBB @BkClubCare Same ❤️❤️ 3d

CarolynM Some interesting titles there. I probably won‘t read all of them, but will look forward to seeing all the discussions 🙂 3d

BarbaraBB @CarolynM We‘re happy to have you at camp whenever you like! 3d

Meshell1313 Sounds like a perfect camp! 3d

Well-ReadNeck I‘m in! Please keep me on the tag list. Excited to discuss All. The. Books!! 2d

BarbaraBB @Meshell1313 We‘re happy to have you! 2d

BarbaraBB @Well-ReadNeck We will, no camp without you! 2d

BarbaraBB @Bookwormjillk I am happy you are. I was very happy with the voting too! 4d

TrishB Yay! Great choices again! Looking forward to it. 4d

mcctrish Can‘t wait to go camping ⛺️ 4d

CatLass007 I missed the announcements for June and July. 4d

Prairiegirl_reading I don‘t think I‘ll read the Cosby (I can‘t do violence like that) but I‘m excited for all the rest! Looking forward to camp!!🏕️ 4d

CatLass007 SA Cosby became a must-read last year so I definitely will read that one. I need to read up on the others. 4d

CBee I voted for both of these 👏🏻👏🏻 Very excited for camp!! Hoping to get to all six but I know for sure I‘ll read these plus Woodworking and WDS 👏🏻👏🏻 4d

Suet624 Thank you so much! I‘m thrilled. 4d

AmyG Oh NICE!!!!! Thank you! 4d

squirrelbrain Hooray - another 2 books I‘m really looking forward to discussing with everyone! 🏕️ 4d

BarbaraJean Like @Prairiegirl_reading I think I‘ll skip the Cosby because of the violence (the one book I skipped last year was All Fours and I don‘t regret that, so I‘m trusting my instincts here 😂) but I‘m super excited about reading the others with everyone!! 4d

Ruthiella Fantastic! Again , these are two books I normally would not have picked up, which is what I love about these kinds of challenges. 👍 4d

Deblovestoread So happy to see 2 of my nominees make the cut. 😍 4d

BarbaraBB @BarbaraJean @Prairiegirl_reading I haven‘t read the Cosby yet but it might be violent indeed. Happy you‘ll be joining for the others. And I know some people who would have loved to skip All Fours last year 🤣 4d

BarbaraBB @TrishB @mcctrish @CBee @Suet624 @AmyG @Ruthiella @Deblovestoread Glad you‘re happy with the outcomes. Most people voted for at least one of the six books fortunately! 4d

ChaoticMissAdventures YAY!! I LOVE Cosby, and Tilt is set in my home town. These should be fun reads. Cannot wait to join everyone for the discussions. 4d

Soubhiville Thanks to all our hosts! Fun lineup of books this summer! 4d

Hooked_on_books I was already looking forward to the Cosby and it‘ll be fun to discuss it. Tilt is very good and should prompt excellent discussions! 4d

Megabooks @Hooked_on_books I agree! Tilt will have such good discussions I think!! 4d

Megabooks Cosby won last year‘s Litsy ToB, but we didn‘t get a full discussion on it. I‘ll be interested to read what everyone thinks of his latest! 4d

BarbaraBB @ChaoticMissAdventures @Soubhiville @Hooked_on_books @Megabooks I have high hopes for some good reads and great discussions 👌🏽 (edited) 4d

Christine Yayyyyy, so into these! One I was 100% going to read (Cosby) and the other I was on the fence about but therefore (as others have noted) should be great for discussion!! 4d

BarbaraBB @Christine Happy you‘ll join us for both reads. Tilt is supposed to be very good. And it‘s short! 3d

Meshell1313 Ooh yay! Can‘t wait! 3d

Well-ReadNeck 🙌🏼👏🏻👊🏼 3d

Woodworking | Emily St James

repost for @Megabooks:

Once again I will be your camp counselor for July, and I am so excited to discuss these books!

I have already read Death of the Author, and I have been dying to discuss it because it is so unique. Woodworking is new to me, and I‘m so excited for us to explore it together.

I‘ll be posting page breaks later, but I hope you can join me July 5/6 and 12/13 for Author and July 19/20 and 26/27 for Woodworking! 🏕️😁 #CampLitsy25

Megabooks Thanks for sharing!! 4d

Air | John Boyne

#WeeklyForecast 20/25

An exciting reading week ahead! I just started Time of the Flies, which drew me in immediately. Next will be the tagged, which I can‘t wait to read either. I hope to start Theory & Practice as well, recommended by @sarahbarnes , and if there‘s time left I might even start Audition, out first #CampLitsy25 read (not on photo).

sarahbarnes Great week ahead! Can‘t wait to hear what you think of T&P and Flies! 💕 4d

Lesliereadsalot Ooh…so lucky you have Air! 4d

Gleefulreader I have Time of the Flies on my TBR shelf. I can‘t wait for Air but my copy has to ship to Canada from Blackwells and I‘m praying there isn‘t a postal strike to delay delivery! 4d

BarbaraBB @Gleefulreader I was surprised how fast I got Air, but I am in Europe. Also, Time of the Flies is great so far! 3d
