Starting next because might be on #ToB2025 Long List? #Hurryupalready

(Pic from a concert in 2015 that I don‘t remember… but thought might make a good backdrop for this cover 🤷🏻‍♀️)

squirrelbrain I know! Getting very impatient now…. And all these books that I‘m reading that *might* be on the long list, probably won‘t be! 3d
BkClubCare @squirrelbrain - this was the first one I found that my library didn‘t have any holds 🤣 3d

I will gladly share my gently used copy of DRIVE YOUR PLOW OVER THE BONES OF THE DEAD with an interested reader in the United States. This is an unusual and thought provoking novel and a recent selection of my book club. Interested readers please comment on this post. First interested reader gets the book. #BookMail #BookGiveaway

To be honest I have no clue what I just read. The story is pretty clear but there‘s so much going on around it. In linguistics, in plot, in characters, in layers. Maybe it‘s good but it was hard to keep track and I lacked motivation towards the end.

squirrelbrain There must have been a reason why I kept borrowing this from the library, then sending it back unread….maybe I knew! 🤷‍♀️ 2mo
LeeRHarry Shame as it‘s a fabulous cover. 2mo

Larkken 😆 I can relate. I bailed on this one. 2mo
BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain I think so! I wouldn‘t hurry if I were you! 2mo
BarbaraBB @LeeRHarry Yes! I was super attracted by that cover and title 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2mo
BarbaraBB @Larkken I‘m glad I‘m in good company 😀 2mo
Susanita Far more complicated than it needed to be and too strange. 2mo
BarbaraBB @Susanita Agree, it didn‘t improve the book 2mo
Megabooks Yikes! 2mo
TheKidUpstairs That\'s too bad, I was really intrigued by this one! I\'ll probably still give it a shot, but definitely a borrow not buy! 2mo
BarbaraBB @TheKidUpstairs I was super intrigued too and it is good, kind of. It just didn‘t really work for me but it could very well work for you. You‘re better with difficult reads! 2mo

#WhereAreYouMonday

I am in Bialowieza, a Polish village at the edge of the primeval forest and five miles from the Belarusian border.
I‘ve come here looking for Irena Rey!

Ruthiella Good luck! Don‘t get lost in the forest. 2mo

When the Nazis launched an attack on education, libraries and books, the Polish people fought back. This is the story of young women who banded together, hiding and smuggling books in any way that they could, so that people could still read. Fascism tried to stamp out Jewish people and books once before. It is trying to stamp out other people and even more books again. This is a fictional book based on real events, but it should serve as a ⬇️

JenniferEgnor warning. Do not forget that when they ban and burn books, they will do the same to people. 2mo
TheBookHippie In my lifetime, this has been for me the most dangerous time to be Jewish. 2mo
JenniferEgnor @TheBookHippie one of my closest friends is Jewish and is sometimes afraid to tell her boss and co-workers, or wear her Star of David necklace over her shirt. When we used to escort together at clinic, the protesters would target her because of it, too. What a time we are living in. 2mo
