Litsy

I am finally submitting my nominations for #CampLitsy25. I tried to pick books that haven‘t been nominated yet. I particularly think Careless People would provide a lot of conversational fodder.

Megabooks, squirrelbrain, BarbaraBB

Chelsea.Poole I‘m really interested in Careless People! 6d

squirrelbrain Yay -I‘ve been waiting for your nominations - well done on finding ones not yet nominated! You‘re right about Careless People - it would make for great discussions! 6d

Deblovestoread I‘d love to read Careless People as a group! Now to check out the others. 6d

The Emperor of Gladness: A Novel

Bookwormjillk Death Takes Me is on my list too 1w

BarbaraBB Thanks for nominating! I loved Wild Dark Shore and want to read the Vuong! 1w

Kitta @BarbaraBB Im obsessed with Vuong, I will definitely read it either way! 1w

Megabooks Even though I've already read WDS, I'm glad people are nominating it. It would make for good discussion! I'm with @BarbaraBB about the Vuong. I'm already on the list at the library! 1w

Kitta @Megabooks I own a copy of WDS that I got through BOTM, so I‘ll get to it eventually even if it‘s not a pick! I want a hard copy for myself of the Vuong I think, but havent pre-ordered yet! I should get on that. I heard him speak once here in NYC and was blown away. It was when Time is a Mother had come out and I immediately bought everything available that day by him haha. 1w

GatheringBooks I am intrigued by Death Takes Me! I also nominated the Vuong title. Yay! 1w

Kitta @GatheringBooks yay fingers crossed it‘s a pick! 1w

BennettBookworm I‘m loving the sirens so far!! 1w

Kitta @BennettBookworm oh great!! I got the Barnes and Noble copy with the pretty edges. I‘ll be reading it for sure. 1w

Let's Go Camping! | Jan Mader

I usually don‘t add to the long list for Camp Litsy because the books that are chosen are almost always waaaaaay outside my comfort zone, which is part of the fun for me. But, I thought I‘d fully participate this year with a few books I‘m looking forward to (and one I read as an ARC that was one of my absolute favorites last December). So, without further ado…#CampLitsy25

Megabooks, squirrelbrain, BarbaraBB

monalyisha Which was your absolute fave? 1w

DGRachel @monalyisha The Bane Witch. It‘s SO good. I don‘t want to say much about it because I think it‘s one where you really should get to experience how things play out but also I want to say all the things. I need people to discuss this with. 😬

The Bane Witch: A Novel

squirrelbrain Great choices! ❤️ 1w

Bookwormjillk I guess I have to add Bane Witch to my summer reading list no matter what based on how much you love it! 1w

BarbaraBB Me too, very intrigued now by Bane Witch! Thanks for nominating! 1w

Kristy_K I have an arc of Whack Job! I‘m looking forward to reading it. 1w

Megabooks I did not realize there was a book about axe murder out. How fascinating! One of my most memorable books years later was the fictionalized Lizzy Borden book. (Because it was good and also because of all the vomiting...)

Camping: A Mr. and Mrs. Green Adventure | Keith Baker

Campers may not want to share my tent, as I‘ve brought along some odd fellows. Blob and Sky Daddy specifically—those really stretch my reading limitations so it‘s a bit of a personal challenge. Totally understand if no one votes them in, as I‘m a little hesitant myself..
So many great nominations so far! I‘m looking forward to The Names, Stag Dance, and Tilt that I would have nominated but since others have already done so, here we go! 😂

TheKidUpstairs Love your odd fellow choices 😁 1w

Bookwormjillk I just nominated Sky Daddy too. It sounds so weird how could I not? 1w

Chelsea.Poole @TheKidUpstairs thanks! I need something “out there” in my reading life to distract from the absolute chaos in the real world. 1w

Chelsea.Poole @Bookwormjillk right? And there‘s good reviews!!? ✈️ ✈️ 1w

Suet624 A wild and wooly group! 1w

squirrelbrain Not odd at all! @Megabooks was going to nominate Sky Daddy, and I thought about Blob. So we‘re all in the weird tent! 🤣 1w

Bookwormjillk @squirrelbrain @Chelsea.Poole wow, maybe it has a chance! 1w

ChaoticMissAdventures I finished Disappoint Me yesterday and absolutely loved it. Dinan has quickly become one of my favorite writers. 1w

BarbaraBB I used that cover imago of Disappoint me as a profile pic during Covid 😉 Super intrigued by the book now, especially now that I read that @ChaoticMissAdventures loved it! Sky Daady Seems very good too! 1w

Prairiegirl_reading I forgot about Blob! Good call. Sky daddy sounds a bit much for me personally but I won‘t yuck your yum! I get wanting to escape the chaos of this world. 1w

Kappadeemom Sky Daddy was 😳 I was afraid to post that review one on my social🤣 1w

ChaoticMissAdventures @BarbaraBB I love the American cover of Disappoint Me! "Decadent Young Woman After the Dance" is one of my favorite paintings ? 1w

Deblovestoread Why I love Camp Litsy! Bring on the odd, outside my comfort zone picks. 1w

Chelsea.Poole @Suet624 @Deblovestoread Sometimes the “out there” books are really good…or if nothing else, memorable! 1w

Chelsea.Poole @squirrelbrain that makes me feel better! Plus, both seem like possible choices from the actual tournament, for the longlist at least. @bookwormjillk —there‘s definitely some out there books that make the actual list so these could, I suppose! 1w

Chelsea.Poole @ChaoticMissAdventures @BarbaraBB also love that cover art. I feel that…more and more often of late. Glad there‘s some interest in the book too, and that it has your endorsement! 1w

Chelsea.Poole @Kappadeemom c‘mon, litsy is a safe place! Post your review and tag me lol 1w

Chelsea.Poole @Prairiegirl_reading yeah, not exactly something I normally go for either. Kind of why I picked it 😊 1w

Megabooks I have to say after reading Tuberculosis that I like John's nonfiction more than his fiction. It was very thought-provoking. Thanks for nominating it and the others!

Megabooks I would be fascinated to see if the Cosby gets chosen since he won our Litsy ToB in 2024. His books are so good! Like @deblovestoread, I'm a big Hartnett fan, so thanks for putting that on my radar.
