It is that time of the month! #CampLitsy25 readers please vote for your favorite book from July! It seems like many of us liked both books, so I'm curious to see which will come out on top. 🤔 Vote simply by putting the name of the book in your comment.

I hope all of you will be back for August! I think we may need to install AC first, though! (The corn sweat is killing us around here.)

Susanita I will pass on voting this month since I‘ve only read one of the books so far. 1mo

vonnie862 It was a great month of reads, but I really enjoyed Death of the Author the most. 1mo

Jess I have to go with Death of the Author. I was really surprised how much I liked it because I typically steer clear of books with robots. 1mo

Suet624 Oh boy. Such a tough choice. Kind of surprisingly (to myself) I‘m going with

Death of the Author: A Novel

Thanks for a wonderful first month at #camplitsy25! 🏕️

We‘ve had some great discussions this month and now it‘s time to vote for your favourite book - will it be Audition or Wild Dark Shore?

Let us know your choice in the comments ⬇️ and your reasons why too, if you want to do so.

Looking forward to next weekend, when Meg will host the discussion on the first part of Death of the Author.

squirrelbrain This has been a fascinating month of discussions. Everyone‘s insightful input on Audition helped me to understand and like it more. Equally, I came to understand some of the issues and challenges around WDS. However, WDS is still a long way ahead of Audition for me.

Wild Dark Shore

2mo

rockpools Oh my goodness! I‘d forgotten all about voting 😂😂 (Will finish WDS today & join the discussion - my reading glasses are in the shop, so I‘m being slow! ) 2mo

Lesliereadsalot I loved Wild Dark Shore, my favorite book of the year so far. I found the story compelling, the characters believable and the ending right on the money. By far the best of the two and probably all six! 2mo

jenniferw88 Audition, hands down. I'm still thinking about it several weeks after finishing, and I don't think that will happen with Wild Dark Shore.

Audition

2mo

Kitta Definitely WDS. Audition was interesting with all the layers to it but ultimately I didn‘t like it and was frustrated reading it. I was glad it was short. WDS was much more my style of novel, atmospheric and emotional. My vote is for

Wild Dark Shore

2mo

Chelsea.Poole Great discussions this month, thanks for hosting!! Wild Dark Shore for me 2mo

Bookwormjillk This is harder than you‘d think. Wild Dark Shore was the better story and I actually understand it. However I‘m still thinking about Audition weeks later. It was a tie for me. I need to vote for the weird in this case

Audition

2mo

Zuhkeeyah This is a hard one. Both books were good. I liked reading WDS more, but I the discussion for Audition was more compelling. Final vote will be for WDS because I love a dark atmospheric read.

Wild Dark Shore

2mo

Jess Wild Dark Shore gets all my votes. Loved the sense of place.

Wild Dark Shore

2mo

mcctrish

Wild Dark Shore

2mo

Susanita Two novels with a limited cast of characters and a lot of internal rumination, but otherwise quite different. My vote is for

Wild Dark Shore

2mo

Maggie4483 Hands down

Wild Dark Shore

2mo

Megabooks Even though I rated WDS higher, I liked the discussion on Audition better, so that‘s my vote! 2mo

JenReadsAlot I liked discussion of Audition, but voting for

Wild Dark Shore

2mo

CBee WDS for me (I didn‘t finish Audition 🫣😂)! 2mo

LeeRHarry Mmmm I didn‘t read Audition so maybe my vote shouldn‘t count but voting for

Wild Dark Shore

2mo

Suet624 By a mile.

Wild Dark Shore

2mo

BkClubCare I could vote for either but different reasons. I thought our Audition discussions were very engaging and not that WDS didn‘t, but I couldn‘t think of much to add. I liked reading WDS but now can‘t articulate why 🤔 I suppose I best cast my vote 🗳️ for

Wild Dark Shore

2mo

Jas16 Really great discussions but for me the choice was obvious.

Wild Dark Shore

2mo

peaKnit Wild Dark Shore for me too! 2mo

Texreader Wild Dark Shore hands down. 2mo

TrishB Wild Dark Shore for me. 2mo

ChaoticMissAdventures I know it is an unpopular opinion but I absolutely hated WDS. I think the more interesting and better book all around was

Audition

2mo

Oryx WDS 2mo

AmyG Wild Dark Shore 2mo

Reggie Audition 2mo

Ruthiella It‘s only going to be me and @ChaoticMissAdventures who vote for this one 😆

TEArificbooks Wild Dark Shore 2mo

sarahbarnes I‘m with the small group of people here voting for Audition. I loved it and was a little disappointed by WDS. 2mo

Bookwormjillk @Christine haha are we the weird tent? 2mo

Hooked_on_books I didn‘t even want to read Audition (and so didn‘t) and loved WDS. So it‘s Wild Dark Shore for me! 2mo

vonnie862 Bookish, Wild Dark Shore. It was a more engaging book. Book group discussion, Audition. I didn't care for the book but i enjoyed everyone's response to the questions. 2mo

DGRachel Hands down, Wild Dark Shore. 2mo

TheKidUpstairs This is a much harder decision than I initially thought it would be, and I keep going back and forth. I loved both books in the reading, but Wild Dark Shore was just that much more engrossing for me. But the discussions definitely brought extra depth and interest to Audition, where I felt that discussing WDS brought out some of the flaws. But ultimately I think I have to go heart over head for this one:

Wild Dark Shore

2mo

Christine @Bookwormjillk LOL, I hope so as I would totally embrace Weird Tent identity! 😆 2mo

BarbaraBB I loved the Audition discussion but Wild Dark Shore is among my favorites of the year so far! 2mo

CogsOfEncouragement I enjoyed both. I‘m going to go with WDS because I appreciate multiple POVs. 2mo

Roary47 I didn‘t get to read Wild Dark Shore. But… my vote is for it. 😅 2mo

Read4life Wild Dark Shores because I loved the characters and the multiple POVs. 2mo

GatheringBooks I vote for - thanks so much for hosting! Great questions, as always!!!

Wild Dark Shore

2mo

Butterfinger Definitely, Wild Dark Shore. Just finished and I have to go on a shopping spree for junk food. The evocative imagery, the love that all five had for each other. It was a book definitely out of my comfort zone, and I am so glad I read it. 2mo

KarenUK Wild dark shore, for sure! 2mo

CSeydel Thank you! I love seeing the stats, and it‘s super interesting to see the runners-up! 4mo

TheBookHippie @squirrelbrain 🤣 4mo

Hooked_on_books I‘m surprised to not see the Ocean Vuong book. I expected it to be one of our picks and his first novel didn‘t work for me, so I wasn‘t happy about it. And clearly I was way off base! I am a little surprised to see Everything is Tuberculosis here. I know many find John Green appealing, but to me he‘s not the one I would want to read about TB from. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 4mo

Suet624 Thank you! I took a screenshot so I can check these out too. 4mo

Bookwormjillk @squirrelbrain anyone want to sneak out? 4mo

squirrelbrain Only if it involves a trip to a library or bookshop @Bookwormjillk 🤣 Or maybe if cake is involved…. 🍰 4mo

squirrelbrain There‘s always some surprises each year @Hooked_on_books - either doing much better or worse than expected. Last year, *everyone* said they wanted to read Real Americans but no-one voted for it. 🤔 4mo

squirrelbrain You‘re welcome! @CSeydel 4mo

squirrelbrain Great idea to take a screenshot! @Suet624 4mo

BarbaraBB @Megabooks Thanks for the recommendations! If you liked them, I will probably too! 4mo

TrishB Heartwood 👍🏻 4mo

Megabooks @squirrelbrain @Hooked_on_books yes! It was so funny last year. I think RA got like 15 noms and only 1 vote! 🤣🤣 edit: I do like that though because it means people are thinking outside of just their noms into what they think would be good camp books. We see this year after year, which is really cool! (edited) 4mo

Kitta @Hooked_on_books I voted for the Ocean Vuong, I adore his poetry but haven‘t read his first novel yet - what didn‘t you like about it? 4mo

Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain @Megabooks That‘s so interesting about RA! I do think it would have been a good book to discuss and I frankly assumed people voted for their own noms, but clearly it‘s not that simple! 4mo

Hooked_on_books @Kitta I felt like it held me at arm‘s length and each time I felt I was finally connecting with it, the story would go in another direction. After it happened several times, I just bailed. 4mo

ImperfectCJ I totally forgot what I voted for as soon as I voted, but I was happy with the final 6, so I'm not surprised to learn that I voted for 3 of them. :-) There are definitely a few on this longlist that I'll be reading, too. 4mo

fredthemoose I‘ve been buried at work and didn‘t nominate or vote since I didn‘t have time to do research, but wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who did and to @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB and @Megabooks for hosting. I have time to read/listen and am looking forward to my first summer at Camp! 🏕️ 4mo

Soubhiville Thanks for posting this @squirrelbrain ! I also love seeing these extra tidbits, and I‘ll save this list as well. The conversation it‘s started makes me feel like we‘re already camping! ⛺️❤️ 4mo

GatheringBooks @Hooked_on_books i am surprised not to find eowyn ivey actually since so many people nominated that title too. Love the surprise twists in camp. 4mo

Megabooks @fredthemoose looking forward to seeing you at camp this summer!! 4mo

BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books @Megabooks I love that people get inspired by other people‘s nominations. And of course you vote for six books while you nominated just four. I also expected Ocean Vuong and Eowyn Ivey to end up higher than they did @GatheringBooks 4mo

BarbaraBB @fredthemoose I‘m glad you‘ll be joining us and that work will give you some time off to do so! 4mo

Hooked_on_books @GatheringBooks @BarbaraBB Excellent point about Ivey. I remember during nominations expecting her to show up as one of the picks. 4mo

squirrelbrain Yes, I think the Ivey was this year‘s Real Americans - everyone talked about it, but only 4 votes! I think the Vuong was less of a dead cert because his first book was slightly challenging to read. @Hooked_on_books @GatheringBooks @BarbaraBB 4mo

squirrelbrain Everyone seems to have forgotten what they voted for! @ImperfectCJ but at least everyone is pretty happy with the outcome. 4mo

squirrelbrain @fredthemoose - you‘ll have to watch out for the initiation ceremony, it being your first camp! Only kidding! 🤣 Glad you‘ll have the time to join in. 4mo

squirrelbrain You‘re welcome! @Soubhiville - not long now until camp *actually* starts! 😊 4mo
