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 🙌 3h

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 19h
mcctrish Another month and the only kindle read I read was for a Buddy read 🤦🏻‍♀️ but I‘m going to get to it soon 😆 19h
BarkingMadRead I managed one in July 🤣 maybe August will be better! 19h
rubyslippersreads I haven‘t been doing well at all. July‘s list will probably be August‘s list. 🤷‍♀️ 18h
CBee @rubyslippersreads my list is basically the same except for two books 😂🤪 18h
CBee @PuddleJumper making progress 👏🏻 18h
CBee @mcctrish only one I read was for #camplitsy 😂🤷‍♀️ 18h
CBee @BarkingMadRead one is better than none! I‘m in the same boat! 18h
CrowCAH I‘m on the same boat, behind by two months. I‘ll be creating my list for August soon. 16h
Desha I‘m halfway through one book lol 🥹 8h

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! 🤣

BarbaraBB I am not surprised it‘s on the list! It even is the only one I read so far 🤦🏻‍♀️ 20h
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. 20h
Ruthiella I also haven‘t heard of many of the titles-the authors yes, but not the actual books. 20h

Kitta @Ruthiella you‘re doing better than me, I don‘t know the authors at all in some cases! 😂 20h
squirrelbrain I agree - I didn‘t like it *and* I don‘t like being confused! 15h
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! 14h

Pickpick

Zelu is a disabled author whose book, Rusted Robots, becomes a worldwide sensation. This book follows Zelu prior to and after her fame. Not quite a sci-fi book (there is some space travel & high tech gear in the main book), her Robots book definitely is—a dystopia set in Africa where robots and AI (bodiless bots) are at war. So we also follow the travails of Robots‘ main character Ankara in this book within a book. Both stories are interesting ⬇️

Texreader And infuriating in their own ways. What is mind-blowing is the last chapter when both stories come together, which elevates this book to possibly the best book of the year for me. My face reading the entire last chapter: 😲 Needless to say: I highly recommend it. #camplitsy @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB @Megabooks 1d
Prairiegirl_reading I got stuck behind Wild Dark Shore so I didn‘t get to this one. I must!! It sounds great! So glad you enjoyed it, lots of others seemed to as well. (edited) 1d
TheBookHippie Did you read her other books when we had her country for #FOODANDLIT? That‘s how I found her! 1d
squirrelbrain Great review - glad you enjoyed it! 1d

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.)

BarbaraBB It‘s a tough choice this month but my vote goes to 3d
BarbaraBB Meg shall I tag our campers? 3d
Megabooks @BarbaraBB Whoops! I'll tag them. I'm just...brain fogging it today! It's kind of a...you mean they can't read my heat-intolerant mind just by posting? (edited) 3d

AmyG Woodworking 3d
Kitta My vote is for 3d
Megabooks @BarbaraBB My heat-intolerant body would like to take a vacation to the location of Wild Dark Shore for a few days. Even with Dom's strange behavior, it would still be preferable. LOL! 3d
DGRachel Definitely Woodworking for me. 3d
Ruthiella No question about it. Books like this are the reason I love reading. 3d
ChaoticMissAdventures Oh goodness this is hard! I loved them both but I think for creativity and writing skills I have to go with 3d
Bookwormjillk I‘m with the crowd on this one. 3d
TrishB Death of the Author for me. Hard choice this one. 3d
ErikasMindfulShelf Death of the Author 3d
BookwormAHN Death of the Author 3d
rockpools Eek! I‘ve not finished, and they‘re both really good. I like Woodworking more, but I admire the scale and writing and sheer everything ness of DotA, so I think I‘m going 3d
Susanita I will pass on voting this month since I‘ve only read one of the books so far. 3d
jenniferw88 As I'm already recommending this one, I want a physical copy & and am planning on re-reading, it has to be 3d
TheKidUpstairs I like both selections this month, it's a clear winner for me. Okorafor crafted something extra special 3d
CBee How do I choose? I loved them both so much! I‘m going to go with Woodworking, mainly because it stuck with me the most, and taught me the most. 3d
vonnie862 It was a great month of reads, but I really enjoyed Death of the Author the most. 3d
squirrelbrain Very difficult to choose, but DotA was a bit outside my usual fare, so I‘m going to go with 3d
Chelsea.Poole A tough one for sure! I‘m going with 3d
Meshell1313 Ooh I loved them both! I‘ll vote for 3d
ImperfectCJ Both good books, but this one's the clear winner for me. 3d
JenReadsAlot Both were great books! Going with 3d
Oryx Both awesome, but it's Woodworking for me. 3d
Christine Thank you for leading us in such great discussions! I loved the Okorafor but LOVED 3d
Lesliereadsalot Both were so good! Woodworking by a nose, it just got better and better. 3d
Hooked_on_books This one‘s easy for me, as I DNF‘d DotA at 12% and Woodworking is now on my permanent shelf, something I rarely do! 3d
Texreader Death of the Author!! How I loved that book! 3d
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. 3d
JamieArc I keep going back and forth but I think I will go with Death of the Author because I keep thinking about it and recommending it. 3d
Suet624 Oh boy. Such a tough choice. Kind of surprisingly (to myself) I‘m going with 3d
DebinHawaii This is such a tough choice! I‘d be happy with either book winning but I think I have to go with Woodworking by a hair because it is a book that‘s going to stay with me a long time. 3d
BarbaraJean Woodworking! Both were excellent, but Woodworking was the more enjoyable read for me. 3d
BkClubCare 🗳️ (edited) 2d
Maggie4483 This is such a hard decision. I‘m so grateful to #CampLitsy because I would never have read either of these on my own, and I feel like they both expanded my worldview. But I‘m going with Dea….no, Woodw…no option for a tie? No? Okay…😬😬😬: 2d
Butterfinger Death of the Author 2d
Roary47 I didn‘t get to read Death of an author so I guess I‘m voting Woodworking. 2d
Karisa I loved them both so much! Toughest choice ever. They are both so different and beautiful but it‘s DotA for me. 2d
Read4life I‘m going with 2d

I‘m back from NH and ready to settle in to my reading list for August. I‘m working on the #192025, #ReadingUSA, and #ReadingCanada. I cannot believe how fast this year is going. #BookspinBINGO titles tagged in the comments. @TheAromaofBooks

Tamra Those signs! Especially the camper one! 👌🏾 3d
AmyG The boat sign reminded me of my Aunt and Uncle. 🤣 (edited) 3d
TEArificbooks I liked Track of the Cat and if you are reading the USA then it is a good series for that. Each book the National park ranger is working at a different park in a different state. 3d
Bookwormjillk @TEArificbooks yes! The first one is in Texas which I already have this year, but I‘m hoping for a new favorite series. 3d
