I burned an Audible credit on this before seeing the tradeback edition on my shelf! Darn, #ohwell. Guess I should be grateful for a read+listen opportunity! 🌟 I adore Rachel Joyce so ALL GOOD. ✅ I also might be able to count for a reading challenge category “alliteration”. Yes? Can two Bs make alliteration? 🗳️

Alfa Romeo 1300 and Other Miracles | Fabio Bartolomei

pick

I haven‘t LOL‘d while reading a book in a while. I‘m sure my neighbors loved the peace & quiet in their backyard and then my random “Pffft! BWAHAHAHA!!” 🤷🏼‍♀️ #OhWell The minute these characters were described, I immediately thought of who I would cast in the movie 😆 Enjoy! And go read this book for a good time and some good laughs!!
Claudio: Stephen Merchant
Fausto: Dave Bautista
Diego: Ron Livingston
Abu: Don Cheadle
Sergio: Kristofer Hivju

lil1inblue I'm sold. Stacked. 😅 2mo

Aims42 @lil1inblue I hope you enjoy it!! 2mo

mcctrish I love this casting, regardless of the story, I am all in 2mo

Aims42 @mcctrish it was just one of those things that once I thought of them as these actors I was that much more invested 😆 2mo

My last #CampLitsy25 book takes me to a decaying town in Virginia.

Lesliereadsalot I‘m not loving this one, how about you? 3mo

Ruthiella @Lesliereadsalot I‘ve only previously read All the Sinners Bleed and while I will read to the end, his books are a little too gritty for me. 3mo

Ruthiella @Lesliereadsalot find also he uses a lot of awkward similes. Like this on page 215 “In the distance he heard a train cutting through the dark like a scimitar”. I get what he‘s trying to impart but a knife has no effect on the air or darkness. If I were his editor…😅 3mo

Lesliereadsalot Haha. Over half way, hoping to get to the end today. Just not interested in any of these characters, but it seems like it might make a good film noir. 3mo

sarahbarnes I tried to read Sinners and like you, it was too a little much for me. 3mo

Reggie I liked his use of sobriquet and apellation right off the bat in the first 2 chapters. I thought, ooooooh someone‘s using a thesaurus. lol 3mo

BkClubCare Oh dear, I am probably going to skip this one. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3mo

Ruthiella @BkClubCare Fair, I almost did based on how I felt about Sinners, but then my library hold miraculously came in… 3mo

BkClubCare @Ruthiella - my copy from the library is just sitting there waiting for me to finish my current book. The library auto renews but I think I will return it unread. #ohwell 3mo

Sea of Rust | C. Robert Cargill

Next up! I know I can blame summer camp discussions on picking up this one. I even pitched it to my book club 😬😱😳 which I am sure half of the group is displeased. #ohwell #bookclubrecfear Raise your hand if you, too, fear the wrath of poor book choices?!?! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Reggie I love my bookclub because of the people but my good have we read some bad books together. Which sometimes have led to the best discussions. I hope you like this book. It‘s one of my favorites from the last 10 years. 3mo

BkClubCare @Reggie - I am 60% in, the audio is terrific. (Just found out abt Rebecca…) 3mo

Audrey Hepburn | Michele Botton

Starting now; fits category Graphic Novel of #ReadICT though I am fudging the requirement a tad. (It specifically says to be a GN adaption of a fiction book or memoir and this looks to be original/biography #ohwell) #CopperBopper #DogsofLitsy #Jan2025 Book7

All Fours | Miranda July

I have Grace on loan from a friend, All Fours Libby/eBook came off hold (of course 🙄), picked up the Heyer yesterday from the library, and have had Untamed on my shelves for awhile - something made me grab it today 🤷🏻‍♀️

I STARTED EACH TODAY! I am supposed to read Atwood‘s The Robber Bride for a club meeting next Wednesday and Kaleidoscope is my current audiobook. #OhDear #WhereToFocus #Overwhelmed #Distracted

* Had a job interview a.m. 😢

BkClubCare Thanks for asking; nah, not sure but I think I presented as a desperate inarticulate loser. #ohwell 13mo

BkClubCare #Oct2024 Book89 Ended up skimming thru to read the end and … I am ambivalent. 12mo

Bklover She should stress! What a mistake that will be!! 2y

willaful I feel like this can not end well. And I'm worried about Mrs. Moore. 2y

AnnR It seems like both ladies are having mental breakdowns but for different reasons. What a time for it though, especially since Dr. Aziz will certainly get blamed for something as he's #caughtinthemiddle of all this. 2y

dabbe So Aziz gets angry at her so-called-are-you-a-polygamist comment and goes into a cave. She follows in a meandering fashion and also goes into “A“ cave, not “THE“ cave. She's alone perhaps? Where's the guide? #ruhroh all over this chapter's ending. 😱 2y

mcctrish This is a hot mess 2y

Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place | Terry Tempest Williams

so-so

Memoir interweaving the Great Salt Lake, birds and the death of the authors mother and grandmother.
The bad news is this was just ok for me, good news I'm using it for so many challenges.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa At least you found a silver lining at the Refuge. 7y

Cinfhen Agreed @Riveted_Reader_Melissa and it‘s a shame, because I‘ve heard wonderful things about this memoir. #OhWell 7y

mreads @Cinfhen well I'm definitely in the minority. There was quite a bit of religion and perhaps I feel differently about death in my late 40s. I did like by the author
