Litsy

Woodworking | Emily St James

pick

I finally finished this (it‘s been a busy month for me!) and I loved it. Leave it to #camplitsy to bring some great books into my hands!

I‘ll be going back over the questions tonight to see what everyone had to say. This shows that trans lives can look so many different ways, different for every person living it. 🏳️‍⚧️🩵🩷🤍

Soubhiville @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain @Megabooks thanks for hosting, and thanks to whomever posted about the kindle sale, that‘s how I managed to have a copy in time to read it this month! 6h

Death of the Author: A Novel | Nnedi Okorafor

pick

I loved this book and gave it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
On the outside, this book is about a paraplegic author writing her first big novel while dealing with her family and herself, and then there are the robots 🤖

The Evin Prison Bakers' Club: Surviving Iran's Most Notorious Prisons in 16 Recipes | Sepideh Gholian

pick

Had I not read a half dozen books set in/around Afghanistan & India prisons I don't think I would have been able to get through this book of essays. But because I have I could picture these women, living out sentences that are not earned, in conditions inhumane, but still with a drive to find joy in the relationships they are building with one another despite their realities. I especially enjoyed the parts...

MaggieCarr ... where they've added steps for dancing, and singing, or listening to a specific song into the recipe instructions. 23h

Prairiegirl_reading I bought this after going through the #camplitsy long list. I really want to get to it! I have to learn to read faster. It sounds excellent. 20h

Start Spinning | Maggie Casey

Finally have my list together for August‘s #bookspin. Not totally happy with it, but my brain is not braining and I had to throw a couple things on there when I realized that my original list duplicated titles. 🤦🏻‍♀️ There are five NetGalley titles that publish in August, a sequel I‘ve been dying to get my hands on for six months, #CampLitsy, and books I really want to read. We‘ll see how the month goes.

uncommonlycozies this is an incredible list of book 🙌 2d

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1d

PuddleJumper I've been clearing down my Kindle. I'm hoping to have a written TBR soon. It's still mostly ARCs and random books I got for free or 99p 2d

mcctrish Another month and the only kindle read I read was for a Buddy read 🤦🏻‍♀️ but I‘m going to get to it soon 😆 2d

BarkingMadRead I managed one in July 🤣 maybe August will be better! 2d

rubyslippersreads I haven‘t been doing well at all. July‘s list will probably be August‘s list. 🤷‍♀️ 2d

CBee @rubyslippersreads my list is basically the same except for two books 😂🤪 2d

CBee @PuddleJumper making progress 👏🏻 2d

CBee @mcctrish only one I read was for #camplitsy 😂🤷‍♀️ 2d

CBee @BarkingMadRead one is better than none! I‘m in the same boat! 2d

CrowCAH I‘m on the same boat, behind by two months. I‘ll be creating my list for August soon. 2d

Desha I‘m halfway through one book lol 🥹 2d

CBee @CrowCAH let‘s all just get on this boat and do our best 🙏🏻🙏🏻 2d

CBee @Desha it‘s okay! 2d

julieclair Pretty graphic! 1d

Audition | Katie Kitamura

Audition made the #BookerPrize longlist! Interested to see what other #camplitsy people think of this!

Personally I didn‘t enjoy reading it. But I can see how it‘s a good novel? I just don‘t like being confused! 🤣

@squirrelbrain @Megabooks @BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB I am not surprised it‘s on the list! It even is the only one I read so far 🤦🏻‍♀️ 2d

Kitta @BarbaraBB I haven‘t heard of most of them! Usually I‘ve read a couple but I guess I‘ve been reading different stuff this year. 2d

Ruthiella I also haven‘t heard of many of the titles-the authors yes, but not the actual books. 2d

Kitta @Ruthiella you‘re doing better than me, I don‘t know the authors at all in some cases! 😂 2d

squirrelbrain I agree - I didn‘t like it *and* I don‘t like being confused! 2d

Kitta @squirrelbrain My ex used to make fun of my need to understand what was happening in books, movies, plays, everything. I just don‘t like not knowing! Unless it‘s a mystery. Then I like to guess, but at least the timelines make sense in those! 2d
