Making It So: A Memoir | Patrick Stewart

I started SirPatStew‘s 19 hour(!!) memoir on audio today! He is such an interesting guy. In the first chapter now (chapters are looooong) about his virtually Dickensian childhood in North Yorkshire around WWII. #NewReleaseTuesday

But honestly, if you‘re going to listen to a long audio, what better voice could you get?!

DinoMom I love him so much! This is up next in my audio books 13mo

Megabooks @DinoMom I hope you enjoy it too! 13mo

Soubhiville I‘m hoping to listen to this in October as well 🙂. I also love him! His sonnet readings were a highlight of my days during lockdown. 13mo

#NewReleaseTuesday
What a delightful book! Told in dual timelines meet Sara & Abby; grandmother & granddaughter. Sara has #TheMatchmakersGift the ability to recognize people‘s soulmate. And Abby, scarred from her parent‘s divorce doesn‘t believe in true love, in fact she‘s a divorce lawyer. But when Sara gifts Abby her beloved notebooks will Abby realize there might be something to #TheMatchmakersGift ?!!! Absolutely LOVED this one #AudioARC

Weekly Forecast | Thomas Gibson Inc

You may notice a large hole in my #WeeklyForecast: I‘ve put away Infinite Jest. What‘s going on in my non-reading life has made it a not-great choice rn, but I‘m not totally giving up.

I‘m keeping things pretty loose, but I‘ve got two on #NewReleaseTuesday and some Audible credits to burn. However I just found Imagine a City at the library, and it sounds cool.

Like many campers, I‘m enjoying the Straub. 🤞🏻 we have another great discussion!!

Cinfhen

Cathythoughts Yes , Straub is a good one 👍🏻♥️ 2y

TrishB Just starting the Straub 👍🏻 2y

BarbaraBB I hope you‘ll enjoy the Hart. I will start the Straub soon too. And I do understand why you‘ve taken a break with IJ! 2y

Megabooks @Cathythoughts I really enjoyed the first half! 2y

Megabooks @TrishB I hope you love it! 2y

Megabooks @BarbaraBB I may start it this morning. I‘ve been even worse than usual about having multiple books going at once! 🤪 2y

Megabooks @BarbaraBB and it also makes me so happy that you had enough WiFi this morning to look back through litsy. I have missed your comments!! 2y

BarbaraBB I‘ve missed it too!! 2y

DogMomIrene Cannot wait to read your review of the Border Patrol book. Sounds intriguing! 2y

Megabooks @DogMomIrene I just finished it today. It was very interesting and very scary!! The long bit about the 1970s Supreme Court cases in the middle was occasionally hard to follow, but that was likely more me than the author. The history of the BP and the overreach they have today thanks to the interpretation of those cases is quite scary!! (Side note: apparently William Renquist and Sandra Day O‘Connor dated in law school. 🤯) 2y

DogMomIrene @Megabooks Sounds amazing!!! ohhh, the husband may be tasked with buying this one for his TBR. Then we can debate who gets to read it first. 2y

Cults: Inside the World's Most Notorious Groups and Understanding the People Who Joined Them | Max Cutler

#NewReleaseTuesday problems! 🤔🤔 I‘m thinking Cults and Pretty Baby or Normal Family. This is what I get for reading my own books this week. 🤣🤣

Cinfhen

EvieBee I think your parents need library cards! Then you wouldn‘t have to pick! LOL 🤣🤣 (edited) 2y

Megabooks @EvieBee lol they already have them! Mom uses hers, but this is left over from a town I used to live in where my card hasn‘t expired yet. They never lived there so couldn‘t get a card. 2y

Cinfhen Whoa!!!! Soooo many options!!! I don‘t think I‘m familiar with any of these new releases 2y

Chelsea.Poole I‘m excited for Normal Family. Several others I don‘t know on your list though! 2y

Megabooks @Cinfhen I wasn‘t either, but you know my library always picks interesting ones! 2y

Megabooks @Chelsea.Poole I ended up checking that out as well, but I‘m reading Cults first. 👍🏻 2y

Rogues: True Stories of Grifters, Killers, Rebels and Crooks | Patrick Radden Keefe

And in other great book news…I got this on #NewReleaseTuesday from the library!! New PRK = great day 👍🏻🎧

Cinfhen, vivastory

Cinfhen Ohhhh, NICE!!! Very exciting 2y

Megabooks @Cinfhen it‘s up after I finish the Waxman I think!!! 🤔 (edited) 2y

jlhammar Can‘t wait to read this one! 2y

Megabooks @jlhammar I‘m almost three hours in. I love the essay format. He is such a fantastic writer, and they‘re finally letting him read his own work! 2y

vivastory Ah, didn't see the tag until just now 😩The next few weeks is an embarrassment of riches in terms of new releases! I selected the new Blake Crouch as my BOTM, but I bought the new Riley Sager. Next week is the new Paul Tremblay AND the new PR Keefe out this week! All of them are auto buy authors for me! Did you see that Keefe was on Seth Meyers last night? (edited) 2y

Megabooks @vivastory truth friend! It is a great summer! I finished the Sager Monday (didn‘t tag you because I know you like to go in cold) and also selected the Crouch as one of my BOTM books. This is a collection of his long form pieces for the New Yorker. I am very hit or miss on keeping magazines around, so I am glad to have them collected here, but I think you do subscribe(??) so you may have read some as they came out. Anyway, I‘m 43% into thanks to 2y

Megabooks @vivastory some gardening, laundry, and a long dog walk. Anyway, it‘s quite good having them collected here! And no I didn‘t see him on Seth Meyers. My bedtime is far too early for that! SOMETIMES I see the opening of Fallon but I rarely make it to the guests. I‘m an early bed/early riser. (edited) 2y

vivastory @Megabooks All of the Keefe pieces will be new to me. I used to have a subscription to NY Review of Books, but it expired & although I was tempted to renew I simply couldn't justify it due to how many unread issues I had accumulated. As I have mentioned before I love longform non-fiction, so I am very much looking forward to it. I usually catch up on my late night segments on youtube. If interested here is a link to the interview 2y

vivastory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wicDthl2pHk 2y

Megabooks @vivastory This is probably going to be among the stranger things I say to you, but I often forget about YouTube. I just don‘t use it very often unless it‘s like diy around the house stuff. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ HOWEVER I watched it and Patrick is a gem. THEN I watched this author get interviewed. And idk how this dark and emotionally complex book came out of such a bubbly girl, but she deserves all the praise she‘s getting!

Nightcrawling: A novel

Megabooks @vivastory here‘s the interview with Leila if you missed it. You can definitely tell she knows this character while reading the book. https://youtu.be/PZav37VBUSg 2y

vivastory I DID miss the interview with Leila but I recall several reviews of this book on Litsy that really intrigued me! For all of Colbert's LOTR knowledge, IMO Seth Meyer's is the most “literary“ of the late night talk show hosts (with the exception of Trevor Noah). He frequently interviews authors, often lit fic authors such as Brandon Taylor & Anthony Doerr. I vividly recall during the BLM protests after Floyd's murder that he had a stack of books by (edited) 2y

vivastory Black authors behind him for months while filming. They included both fiction & nf and it was a simple, but powerful visual. It just always stuck with me. 2y

Megabooks @vivastory I think I remember seeing the book stack by Black authors on other media. Very striking support. I‘ll have to watch for favorite authors to be on the show 2y

Weekly Forecast | Thomas Gibson Inc

A very fiction-heavy #WeeklyForecast. I just haven‘t been connecting with NF like I used to. Nevertheless, I have a couple on the forecast plus two at the library for #NewReleaseTuesday.

I‘m excited to start discussing True Biz at #CampLitsy next Saturday! I‘m enjoying The Keep. Egan is becoming a favorite author! However I haven‘t liked Rachel Cusk so far, but I‘m trying Second Place on audio. Hide is up next, though for #HorrorWeekend!

Cinfhen

squirrelbrain I didn‘t like Second Place when I read it last year, but couldn‘t stop thinking about it afterwards. 🤔 Have a great week! 2y

Cinfhen I love your graphics and I‘m super excited about all of your upcoming and current reads!! 2y

Graywacke I really go into Second Place. Enjoy your reading. 2y
