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

Lesliereadsalot I‘m not loving this one, how about you? 2w

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. 2w

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…😅 2w

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. 2w

sarahbarnes I tried to read Sinners and like you, it was too a little much for me. 2w

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 2w

BkClubCare Oh dear, I am probably going to skip this one. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2w

Ruthiella @BkClubCare Fair, I almost did based on how I felt about Sinners, but then my library hold miraculously came in… 2w

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 2w

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. 3w

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

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 10mo

BkClubCare #Oct2024 Book89 Ended up skimming thru to read the end and … I am ambivalent. 10mo

Bookwormjillk She‘s right to stress! 2y

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.

#booked2019 happy place - nature @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage
#nonfiction2019 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa something with a death
#centuryreadchallenge #readingwomenchallenge2019 19.nature

Riveted_Reader_Melissa At least you found a silver lining at the Refuge. 6y

Cinfhen Agreed @Riveted_Reader_Melissa and it‘s a shame, because I‘ve heard wonderful things about this memoir. #OhWell 6y

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

The Hour of Land: A Personal Topography of America's National Parks

Cinfhen Thanks for the suggestion😃 6y

The Joy of Stats: A Short Guide to Introductory Statistics in the Social Sciences | Roberta Garner

Thanks for your vote of confidence Goodreads but It‘s time to call it for the year.

#readinggoals #ohwell #goodreadschallenge

julesG Picture books might work. Do you have a library with a well-stocked children's section? 7y

BookHermit @julesG Lol. I‘m cool with falling short this year. I don‘t count any work under 100 pages anyway. 7y

Bostonmomx2 Do you like the beer? We live a few hours from that brewery but haven‘t made the trip. A friend of my hubs brought him a bottle and I have to say, I thought it was awful. He didn‘t love it either but didn‘t hate it. It‘s crazy how hard it is to actually get your hands on. 7y

saresmoore Woohoo! 7y

britt_brooke @Lcsmcat I almost tagged that one, ha! 😆 7y

heikemarie I love Pliny!!!!! 7y

VelvetSpade Yummy Pliny!! 7y

britt_brooke @Reviewsbylola Thanks! 7y

britt_brooke @RealLifeReading Keepers! 💚 7y

britt_brooke @Bostonmomx2 I like it a lot, but you definitely have to be an IPA fan to enjoy it. Part of the appeal is the elusiveness. 😁 7y

britt_brooke @heikemarie @VelvetSpade 🙌🏻🙌🏻 7y

VelvetSpade We do Pliny the Younger release every year... wait in line at 10am for beer! Love it! Cheers 🍻 7y

britt_brooke @VelvetSpade So fun!! 7y
