The Netanyahus: An Account of a Minor and Ultimately Even Negligible Episode in the History of a Very Famous Family | Joshua Cohen

#IRL bookclub pick - meeting on Tuesday 🤓This one is hilarious- I tend to dislike satire but I‘m really loving this Pulitzer Prize winning novel. The humor is ON POINT 🎯I‘m looking forward to our discussion 💙

#IRL #Bookclub for this delightful book.

AileenRR I listened to this one and couldn‘t get into it. It‘s probably better on the page. I feel like I missed out on something good 14mo

BethM I liked this one! 14mo

MaleficentBookDragon @AileenRR that‘s funny because I don‘t think I would have liked this as a written book. I was forced to read it by a friend because it sounded really boring to me, so I decided to go with the audiobook. I found it to be a lot of fun. 🤷‍♂️ 14mo

BiblioLitten I couldn‘t get into the book either (print). 14mo

Cinfhen It really is an amazing piece of history and storytelling @MallenNC @AnneCecilie it will definitely be on my top reads list!!! 2y

Centique I‘d put it on my TBR but it‘s so good to hear that it is such a good reading experience. Will have to move it up! 2y

BarbaraBB Definitely fits the prompt. Looking forward to what you‘ll think. I was a bit underwhelmed but there‘s much Litsy love for it! 2y

Suet624 @BarbaraBB this was a book that I bailed on which I rarely do. Glad to hear your thoughts on it. 2y

BarbaraBB @Suet624 You hardly bail indeed. I must get bank to your review to see why. But I wasn‘t a fan either. 2y

Suet624 @BarbaraBB I listened to it which is never a good idea for me. Fiction just doesn‘t translate well. But it seemed too predictable. 2y

I'm in the midst of that first-of-the-year optimism where I start a bunch of books all at once! Besides the tagged book, which I will hopefully be finishing today, I'm working chapter-a-day on five(!) others... the #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead - The Story Girl (a reread for me, but it's been a really long time since I read it); I'm #WanderingThroughWutheringHeights with the #PemberLittens (and enjoying it more than I did in junior high haha); my ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) #BookSpin for the month is David Copperfield, another book I read many (many) years ago & don't remember at all - those Murdstones are dreadful!!; I just started Pinocchio for January's #ChildrensClassicRead - I've never read this one before but the chapters are quite short so I'm going 2 chapters/day; and I'm trying to work my way more diligently through my nonfiction TBR, which I tend to put off. My first NF read for the year has ⬇ 2y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) been on hold at the library for so long I didn't think it was ever going to arrive! It's Amelia Earhart's account of flying in the Friendship across the Atlantic - 20Hrs; 40Mins.

So I have a lot on my plate @Andrew65!!!

What are the rest of you #weekendreading? Feel free to share!!! (edited) 2y

Daisey I'm also in the middle of so many readalongs! A few of the same as you listed and hoping to fit in The StoryGirl this month as well. 2y

Andrew65 Wow! A lot to have on the go. Happy reading. 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig January Optimism. Besides my 2 #PemberLittens Readalongs I finished my #irl 📚 and 🍻 Club read of Ann Cleeves Raven Black then decided to seasonal read her

Shetland

Crinoline_Laphroaig And I still want to do Month by Month Reread of

The Clanlands Almanac: Seasonal Stories from Scotland

TheAromaofBooks @Daisey - Buddy reads really have helped me tackle some of the books on my list I've been reluctant to read (I never would have read Moby-Dick on my own!) and it's been a fun way to inspire me to reread old favorites that I never seem to make time for otherwise, like #PotteraDay. 2y

TheAromaofBooks @Crinoline_Laphroaig - I love the idea of reading seasonally!! 2y

tokorowilliamwallace @puzzledbooks Here's another prompt for you. 2y

Quick and Short Book Reports | Randy Thorne

Finished two ARCs and an audiobook this week. All pretty good but not amazing.

Group reads: #400Souls | American Dirt for my #IRL book group | The Burning Blue for #nonfictionnerds (one month late)

What‘s Left of Me is Yours - just because @Librarybelle wrote a review that interested me

The current books are going to read fast, I think.

#weeklyreport #bookforecast

Librarybelle It looks like some interesting reads in progress! 3y
