JanuarieTimewalker13 This is odd…book synchronicity…I‘m reading Vegas Rich by Fern Michaels and the protagonist wanted a Dusty Springfield song played at her funeral…I never found the song called “if You Don‘t Love Me” on YT. 3w
TheBookHippie @JanuarieTimewalker13 all I know is “You don‘t have to say you love me” by her. 3w
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame ♥️♥️♥️ 3w
TheBookHippie @TrishB Awe. I love that!! She‘s so classic. 3w
TheBookHippie @Bookwomble 🙂🎶🎵🎶 3w
Deblovestoread Love Dusty so much! 3w
JanuarieTimewalker13 That‘s the one I was thinking of and I wondered why the author changed the title? 3w
TheBookHippie @JanuarieTimewalker13 didn‘t want to pay the copyright probably. 3w
TieDyeDude So good! Son of a Preacher Man is a classic. I know more of her work from the Stay Awhile album. I'll have to give this one a listen. 2w

The first of many Beatles books I‘m going to be tackling this year ✨ heard really good things about this one from uber fans of the band and I like that it has an emphasis on not just the band but what was going on in the sixties at the time and how the two impacted each other.

LaraS Ooo looks interesting. This Boy was recently recommended to me too, I might just have to read a Beatles double header next year 4mo

Loved this! Set in 1980s Wales against the background of the Miners‘ Strike and the looming AIDS crisis, Eluned struggles through life with little money and no prospects other than marrying her miner boyfriend.

Then Lesbians and Gays Support The Miners arrive in town on a fundraising mission, and everything changesas Eluned meets June. Loved all the 80s references; outfits, music etc. Be warned; the sex is rather explicit. 😳

squirrelbrain @TrishB I think you‘d like this one. @Leniverse - a Welsh-set book to add to your new library list?! 9mo
squirrelbrain #pop23 #romancewithafatlead It‘s certainly not a ‘classic‘ romance but I‘m going with it. And with this book I‘m all done with #pop for this year! (edited) 9mo

RaeLovesToRead Ooh... I will use this for the same prompt! I don't have a lot of romance on my shelf 9mo
squirrelbrain @RaeLovesToRead - I was just thinking that this book is what Rosewater *should* have been….I mean, completely different era and very gritty but still…it‘s a queer coming-of-age story that I felt invested in, which I didn‘t with Rosewater. 9mo
Cathythoughts Nice review 👍🏻❤️ 9mo
LeeRHarry Sounds like the film Pride in book form so I would totally be down for that. Stacked! 😊 9mo
BarbaraBB You did finish pop already! So good !!! 9mo
Megabooks Great review! 9mo
CarolynM What @LeeRHarry said. I love that film. 9mo
OriginalCyn620 Congrats on finishing #pop23! I have one more book to go! 9mo
TrishB Oh sounds great thanks 👍🏻 9mo
squirrelbrain Thanks @OriginalCyn620 ! Congrats to you too for (nearly!) finishing. 🎉 9mo
squirrelbrain I haven‘t seen the film @LeeRHarry @CarolynM but just read a synopsis and it certainly sounds like it. ( maybe x rated in parts though!). The big Bronski Beat concert is featured and the MCs sister is going out with a nasty policeman so there‘s that angle too. 9mo
jenniferw88 @squirrelbrain I have the DVD of Pride - I could send it to you if you'd like to see it. 9mo
squirrelbrain Aw thank you @jenniferw88 , but we don‘t have a DVD player any more! I‘m sure I can find it somewhere on the various TV channels. 9mo

Der gelbe Bleistift | Christian Kracht
post image
Pickpick

Since my first book by Christian Kracht I'm a fan and I want to collect all of his works. This book is another step towards this goal. The Yellow Pencil is a collection of Krachts travelogues around Asia from the 1990ties.

Yes, of course they're outdated and most the countries have changed a lot since. But it's still worth reading those texts. Why? Because of the way Kracht sees the world, the way he moves in it and the way he writes about it.

Oh, I loved this @MicheleinPhilly ! ❤️ It would have been on my 2022 favourites list, had a finished it a day earlier.

It left me quite breathless in places, at the injustice Ray faced from the public, the police and even his own family. Even though I kind of guessed the plot line, that didn‘t spoil anything for me.

Book 1 of 2023, and I‘m going for *all*of the challenges!

squirrelbrain #pop23 #abookyourfriendrecommended Well, seeing as Michele sent me it (thank you so much! 😘) that means she recommended it too, right?! Tagging any Littens I haven‘t already tagged, who were in last year‘s #pop crew - shout if I missed you for this year! @Cortg @RaeLovesToRead @Megabooks @laughterhp 1y
MicheleinPhilly I‘m so glad you loved it, Helen! 😘 1y
Cortg WooHoo! 1st book done and it sounds like it was a good one! 1y
Ruthiella This was a very plot-propulsive story. And I appreciated that the author confirmed that the micro and macro aggressions were all taken from his real life experiences. 1y
Cinfhen Well played you!!! I enjoyed this book too!!! 1y
Cinfhen I did audio and between chapters the author included his violin concerto - very cool 1y
BarbaraBB I am happy for each positive review of the #ToB and am now looking forward to this book. Also I‘m thrilled you‘re doing all the challenges ❤️ happy new year Helen 😘 1y
BkClubCare Love this! Love your enthusiasm for ALL the CHALLENGES 🌟👏🎉 1y

Chelsea.Poole Looking forward to this one! 1y
Aimeesue I would comment on this, but I have been completely distracted by your puppy! I love puppas. They're the bestest. ❤️ 1y
Bluebird Yay! This is on my TBR pile and I‘m hoping to get to it soon! 1y
batsy I'm about halfway and finding it very compelling, too! The racism is making me 😡 1y
Cathythoughts Looking cosy 🥰 1y
squirrelbrain @Aimeesue - there‘s better pictures of him (Henry) if you look back at my recent posts. He likes to pose with books…! 🤣 1y

a gorgeous book, complete with beautiful design from Julian House (cover designer of Recoil's 'Unsound Methods' in 1997) -- a compelling and enjoyable read, i finished this book enthusiastically in around 4- hours.
