SharingIdeas

My tentative plan for #Booked2022 #Winter! Tagged another book in consideration for the Set in China prompt.

1. The Witches: Salem, 1692: maybe a stretch, but it does involve a close look at Puritanism.
2. 🎧 📖
3. I have 3 on my TBR for this prompt, also tagged book and a Lisa See novel 🎧 📖
4. Maybe I will finally read this trilogy!
5. From Nigerian publishing house Farafina
6. 🎧 📖

If you want to #buddyread any of these let me know!

Cinfhen, BarbaraTheBibliophage

Cinfhen I‘m planning on reading BlueBird, Bluebird too! I‘d be up for a #buddyread 🤓 2y

Cinfhen And I totally think The Witches works for #Religion 💯 2y

Cinfhen Siege & Storm would also work for #AdaptedForSmallScreen #SharingIdeas 2y

TrishB My daughter loved the tagged one! 2y

alisiakae @Cinfhen I‘m using the first book in the trilogy for the small screen prompt! Still trying to find a spot for the last book. (edited) 2y

alisiakae @Cinfhen do you think you will read it in January? That will probably be one of the first audiobooks I listen to in the new year. 2y

Kangaj1 Thanks for the Freshwater rec 2y

alisiakae @Kangaj1 the original publisher is the one above. but the US edition I think is under a different publisher. Not sure how strict you are with choosing books for your prompts. 😃 (edited) 2y

alisiakae @TrishB Goos to know! 2y

BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘m intending to read Prodigal Summer for #eco-feminist prompt. Definitely up for a buddy read. 2y

sebrittainclark I really liked Freshwater. Super interesting read. 2y

sprainedbrain Gosh I love Prodigal Summer. 💚 2y

Maple Frosted Murder: A Donut Hole Cozy Mystery - Book 2 | Susan Gillard

pick

A quick, easy read! My choice for #bakedgoodsoncover for #booked2021, however this series would also work for #includesrecipes for #booked2022 as you can get some bonus donut recipes at the end of the book if you want to.

5 ⭐

@Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage

BarbaraTheBibliophage Nice!! Can‘t go wrong with donuts! 2y

Book Report: Publishing Strategies, Writing Tips, and 101 Literary Ideas for Aspiring Authors and Poets | Mark Shaw

Busy with work this week, so not so much reading time. Having said that, I‘ve also done more driving to meetings so listened to Passing and Church Ladies, both short but very good. I just started the new Moriarty on audio yesterday.

About halfway through Crossroads, which is a chunkster; loving it so far. Took me a while to get into the writing style of Little Reunions but I think I‘ve got it now! (Nearly halfway through)

Cinfhen

rockpools A good week, despite the work thing. Happy weekend Helen! 2y

MicheleinPhilly I loved Church Ladies. Am hoping to read Passing this coming week to participate in Netflix‘s book club. 2y

Cinfhen Loved Church Ladies too!!! All your books look wonderful, Helen!! I‘m using the Franzen for #Booked2022 #AboutReligion so I‘ll need to wait a bit longer and I‘m considering reading Passing for #Booked2022 #AdaptedForSmallScreen #SharingIdeas 2y

Cinfhen I didn‘t know Netflix‘s has a bookclub @MicheleinPhilly that‘s awesome 2y

squirrelbrain Passing was great @MicheleinPhilly @cinfhen (haven‘t got round to reviewing it yet). Much tighter than The Vanishing Half, and I gained a far greater understanding of passing. 2y

Megabooks Crossroads was fantastic! Glad you‘re enjoying it. 2y

vivastory Passing is hands down one of my favorites of the year. Such a powerful work 2y

MicheleinPhilly @Cinfhen It was just announced recently. It seems like a lot of fun. https://www.netflixbookclub.com 2y

Cinfhen Thanks for sharing the link @MicheleinPhilly 😘😘 2y

BarbaraBB Great report!! 2y

MicheleinPhilly @Cinfhen You‘re welcome. This type of thing is right up my alley as I‘m such a stickler about reading before viewing. Plus I just LOVE Uzo. 😘 2y

squirrelbrain Just looked up the Netflix book club @MicheleinPhilly - looks great! I‘ll definitely check it out in a couple of weeks‘ time. 2y

TrishB Screenshot 👍🏻 2y

vivastory This one, that I enjoyed, came to mind

There There: A novel

Cinfhen Funny you should mention that one @vivastory as @squirrelbrain just posted that book for her choice. I liked it as well!! 2y

jenniferw88 I also liked

City of Light, City of Poison: Magic, Murder, and the First Police Chief of Paris

BarbaraBB I am going to use this one for the prompt, which also fits #ReadingAfrica2022

What Is the What

Cinfhen That‘s a GREAT suggestion @BarbaraBB I read that one for bookclub years ago and I still think about it!!! 2y

Cinfhen I haven‘t read it yet @jenniferw88 hoping to bump it up the ##Tbr 2y

Susanita Interesting mystery set in Mississippi

Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter

Singout I think mine is going to be There, There, but the first one I thought of (flashbacks to my university American lit course) was

Absalom! Absalom!

(edited) 2y

Smarkies I am definitely going to be reading Bird by Bird - it's been on my TBR for way too long. 2y

Ruthiella Excellent suggestions! I was considering The Sea, the Sea by Iris Murdoch but the Attica Locke is on my list! 2y

Cinfhen Thanks for offering and posting MORE suggestions @Ruthiella @Smarkies @Singout @Susanita I‘m pleasantly surprised by how many options are out there!!! I‘ve only read the mystery that @Susanita suggested and it was very good 😊 #SoManyBooksSoLitteTime 2y

Cinfhen #SharingIdeas 2y

TrishB Oh I may be changing my mind now as I have some of these too! 2y

Cinfhen I plan on doing both @Riveted_Reader_Melissa NF challenge and #POP22 @TrishB so my choices might change too!! 2y

Centique @Ruthiella I loved The Sea The Sea! If you do read it 💕 2y

TrishB @Centique good to know as I have that and may change to it! 2y

Cinfhen It‘ll be interesting to see how many of us KEEP our initial choices @TrishB @Centique @Ruthiella 😜 2y

Centique @TrishB it appealed to my inner grinch. A famous theatre director retires from the world seeking solitude. I can relate to the seeking solitude! 2y

Cinfhen How‘s #HisElderliness @Centique ?? Are u guys still in lockdown?? 2y

TrishB I have a very big inner grinch! 2y

Centique @Cinfhen yes we‘re in a level 3 stage 1 lockdown now😂😂 that‘s how complicated it is. Hopefully retail opens next week though - but not gyms or hairdressers. I‘m very lucky because we have an office just 5 mins from our house so since restrictions eased we can work from there again - let‘s us spread out a bit. I get to see Dad on Monday for the first time in 12 weeks cos the rest home is letting me take him to his hospital appointment. 2y

Centique @TrishB I love a grinch! 💕💕 2y

Cinfhen OMG! 12 weeks!!!! I literally got goosebumps- I‘m SO happy you finally get to see your dad in person 🥰 @Centique (edited) 2y

Chelsea.Poole I was thinking about this one (extra points for 3x? 😉)

I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death

Cinfhen Hahaha @Chelsea.Poole the book you tagged left me shaking my head in disbelief but it‘s a really good read!!! Excellent choice 💜 2y
