FoolishGames

Gone Girl | Gillian Flynn

“It's a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless Automat of characters. And if all of us are play-acting, there can be no such thing as a soul mate, because we don't have genuine souls.”

LiterRohde @KarenUK It was. Check out my review from a couple days ago if you haven‘t already. 5y

KarenUK I saw it, loved it! Great review..... 5y

LiterRohde @KarenUK My apologies. I didn‘t see your name in the ‘likes‘ section of the post so I assumed you didn‘t see it. You know what they say about assuming. 5y

The Party | Robyn Harding

so-so

It‘s all fun and games at Hannah‘s sweet 16, until she and her friends break the rules. What results is a true test of morality and friendship.

A friend told me to read this so I did. I didn‘t love it, I didn‘t hate it. It‘s definitely one of those quick summer reads that holds your attention by the pool. #foolishgames #lilithjuly

KarenUK Never heard of this one...... 🤷‍♀️ 5y

Reviewsbylola My friend picked it up at Target. It is one of their “club” picks. But I agree, I‘d never heard of it either. 😆 @KarenUK 5y

The Spite Game | Anna Snoekstra

#LilithJuly
I believe that games of spite, lying, hating, and hunger are games that can't really be won, and are all #FoolishGames to play. I have read three of these game-titled books and one (The Lying Game) is in my #TBR stack.

KarenUK, Cinfhen

KarenUK I liked the Lying game... I‘m also hoping Ruth Ware‘s new one turns up at work as an ARC 🤞🤞🤞🤞 5y

KarenUK I enjoyed The Girls (in the garden) It had this extended title in the US.... I think I remember there being a map of the community garden, and I always love a mystery with a map! 💕😊👍 5y

erzascarletbookgasm Ha! Nice interpretation. Hope you‘ll be able to have a restful evening 💕 5y

Birdsong28 I really enjoyed the tagged book by her so much when I got it out of the library I had to buy my own copy

These weren‘t such #foolishgames for those involved - it really was a game of life or death....

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire | J.K. Rowling

#lilithjuly day 16: It may just be me, but I thought the Triwizard Tournament was a series of #foolishgames. Not a spectator-friendly competition, that‘s for sure!

KarenUK, Cinfhen

KarenUK Particularly the underwater one! 😂 5y

wideeyedreader @KarenUK Right! What did the spectators do?, stand there peering at the water? 😄 5y

Oneida: From Free Love Utopia to the Well-Set Table | Ellen Wayland-Smith

In Oneida, it was common practice to play #FoolishGames with the heart - it was frowned upon to get overly attached to one person. And if you did, well, that wasn‘t exactly the spirit of free love.

This was just an okay read for me - dry in parts, though it makes me want to visit Oneida and tour the big house. And, the author is a descendant of this community. #LilithJuly

KarenUK, Cinfhen

Cinfhen I recently read a book that weaves the Oneida story into the modern day utopian tale. I thought it was well done and really fascinating 👉🏾

We Went to the Woods

Librarybelle Thanks, @Cinfhen ! I missed your post on that, but found it and stacked the book. It looks interesting! 5y

KarenUK Another great historical pick! 😊👍 5y

Our Kind of Cruelty: A Novel | Araminta Hall

#LilithJuly I know I‘ve used this book before, but I‘ll stand behind it (again) When it comes to #FoolishGames Mike and V set the bar pretty high 😜 This thriller belongs along the lines of Gone Girl. Twisted and psychotic and maybe not quite believable but still a slow motion train wreck that‘s hard to stop watching/reading.

KarenUK

KarenUK On my shelf, unread of course 😂..... sounds like a page-turner 👍 5y
