Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father | Augusten Burroughs

pick

I read a lot of memoirs last year, and this was the final one. I‘d read Running with Scissors years ago—this memoir was very different than that one. It took courage for Augusten to write this one, but his childhood was worse.

Greta and Valdin | Rebecca Reilly

#top25of2025 I divided it up between fiction & NF. These were my favorite fiction books of the year. I generally read more NF & I read some good fiction but these were my standouts for the year.

Deblovestoread I started The Lilac People yesterday. Every time I think I‘m done with WWII books a new piece of that history presents itself. Grateful for this #AuldLangSpine recommendation 16h

AnnCrystal I'm about halfway through, Council of the Dolls right now 📚💝. 15h

ncsufoxes @Deblovestoread I feel the same way, I feel like I can‘t read one more book about WWII. Then I found The Lilac People & learned about another whole portion of history I knew nothing about. It‘s a bit of a heartbreaker but happy to have stumbled upon it. I hope you enjoy it. 15h

ncsufoxes @AnnCrystal I don‘t know how I came across Council of Dolls but it‘s such a unique & interesting story. I have really enjoyed learning more about parts of history that I was not fully taught in school. They are not necessarily happy stories but so full of depth. I hope you are enjoying it. 15h

AnnCrystal @ncsufoxes it is really important that these stories are finally having a chance to be told by authors from Native Country. I'm finding this a bit difficult, yet the mystical surrealism of the dolls adds a fascinating intrigue to help these serious stories unfold. Do love the interlocking storytelling. 💝📚💝. 10h

The Shell Seekers | Rosamunde Pilcher

My August #12BooksOf2025 pick.

I‘ve tried to be intentional about reading some backlist books every year and really enjoyed this one set in England. I‘m planning on picking up more by this author.

@TheEllieMo

Bookwormjillk Love his books that I‘ve read 19h

TheEllieMo I read this many, many years ago, but I think it would stand a re-read 17h

Half Spoon of Rice: A Survival Story of the Cambodian Genocide | Icy Smith

My last day of teaching was December 19th. Besides my students, I loved searching for great literature to inspire; I'm already missing it. I can't enjoy my retirement because I am mourning my job. Not depressed, just sad.

For #Foodandlit #Cambodia would some of you like to read and discuss at the end of the month? It's very heavy - middle grades.

@Texreader @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick

Bookwormjillk That‘s a big change! I can‘t find this book at my library otherwise I would join in. 19h

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick It looks like my library has it. I'll gladly join you in reading it. 15h

Texreader My Libby doesn‘t have it either. I‘ll check at our main library if I get a chance. 12h
