#intergrateyourshelf

Again! A book I‘ve read - extremely recently at that!

It‘s a quick read (or listen)- but I found it to be very relatable. Perhaps I‘m not a dedicated as Keiko, the eponymous Convenience Store Woman, but I understand wanting to fit into the world at large.

Again, late but! This one I‘ve actually read!! YAY!

I read this a year or so back and had no idea it was translated fiction. It‘s a good short story collection that I‘d recommend if you like magical realism and a little bit of horror, both direct and creeping dread.

ChasingOm I really loved this collection! 4y

I am super behind on these prompts lol. Missed the month 😬
But! I was rearranging my shelves and found the tagged book. It‘s all about disabled superheroes- the MC is blind but telekinetic, for example- and how they‘re considered “lesser” in the grand scheme of heroism- or are they?!

It‘s been some time since I read it, but I do remember it being a good read, if not a little formulaic.

And there‘s a sequel apparently!

ChasingOm Oh, that sounds cool! 4y

Hey guess who STILL has work to do~!
Bingo bongo it is I 🙃

Tagged is the book highest on my TBR that fits in the timeframe.

Turns out I only have 2 books from that timeframe at all, both from college reading courses. My bookshelf skews from 20‘s, a handful of 30‘s- 40‘s, and then the rest is 80‘s-present. Or timeless magical realm shenanigans. So I got more work to doooo

Emilymdxn I felt the exact same looking at the prompt! No time like the present to track down some important books 4y

Thought provoking and an important read. I can‘t recommend it enough.

Book 3/4 for #jubliantjuly and another free space on my #bookspin bingo card. 👍🏻

wkm306 Intriguing summary 4y
wanderinglynn @wkm306 I recommend reading it. Although she discusses racism specifically in the UK, much of the discussion has broader application. 4y

Finally something impressive. My TBR has grown by at least 50 books for both nonfiction and fiction reads to help better understand. My stacks probably look like most everyone else‘s- but the tagged book just came in today and I‘m so excited!

Emilymdxn That‘s an incredible tbr, mine is probably similar! It‘s exciting to have it all to dive into and learn so much from 4y

New week, new prompt, same garbo stats!
Of the 23 books I‘ve read there were only 2-3 side characters and one potential author.

Clearly, I have some work to do.

So instead I tagged the next book of on my TBR that I‘m most looking forward to that fulfills the prompt.
