BookishMarginalia I used to read the #OprahBookClub picks once upon a time. Now I dabble in different picks as the mood strikes. My fave book club read this year is from my Monday book club:

Flourishing Kin: Indigenous Wisdom for Collective Well-Being

lil1inblue I read so many good books this year; it's hard to pick. But this is one that I wish I had read with a group, because it was soooo good:

Now in November

AmyG No clue what book that is. I used to read Oprah‘s, too. Now I find that I am wnjoying some of Jenna Bush‘s books. 39m

lil1inblue @RaeLovesToRead OMG, now I'm excited, too! *runs to google* 38m

dabbe What a fun game! I enjoyed finishing the #noplacelikeholmes buddy read where we read the whole canon. I also enjoyed finished the #shardlakebr where we read all the Matthew Shardlake books by C.J. Sansom. And I loved all the books we read this year with the #hashtagbrigade, led by the invincible @BarkingMadRead. 🩵☃️🩶 20m

TheBookHippie @RaeLovesToRead oh I‘m so in for this. 19m

TheBookHippie I have tried IRL Bookclub 😵‍💫🫣 they don‘t read the book and get together to bash their partners and I want no part of that. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 back in the day I would check out Oprah but it‘s been a long long long time. My favourite “bookclub” is my #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD and I think our November book was my favorite

Life with Picasso

TheBookgeekFrau I read Flowers for Algernon for an IRL bookclub. Haven't followed a celebrity book club since the OG Oprah one. I have to say I kind of resent those book club seals on book covers; they interfere with the esthetic 😤 As for the trivia question yeah, no clue 😂 now

#Read2025 #MonthlyNonFiction #SheSaid

Finished this morning for #SundayBuddyRead this was a engaging memoir about an amazing woman. A gifted artist & writer, this book focuses on her time with Pablo Picasso & could be titled “Surviving Picasso” who was a giant ass hat man baby. It‘s hard to separate the frustration with the man from his art, but the real interest in book is Francoise‘s perspective on his art & her own. Thanks to the fabulous ⬇️

DebinHawaii … hosting & research of the wonderful Christine @thebookhippie the book was even better brought to life & I learned so much about Gilot & the other artists of the times. Therese background of this review is one of my favorites of hers, Paloma à la Guitare, a picture of her daughter Paloma. Truly a fascinating book. 2d

TheBookHippie I loved it so much. 2d

vlwelser That's a great painting. I really like her stuff. I was maybe a little surprised that she seems to have basically imitated other peoples styles for quite a while. But she was also 40 years younger than this creepy old man. I'm guessing this one is from later on. 2d

DebinHawaii @vlwelser Sotheby‘s says it was painted in London in 1965. 2d

vlwelser After she went on her own path. Good for her. I approve. 2d

#sundaybuddyread Thank you @TheBookHippie for bringing this book to our attention!

I learned a lot about Picasso from this book. If he wasn't a famous artist, he would have been labeled a creeper. His art was amazing. The man himself was a narcissist man-baby. Gilot's writing flowed well, and I was absorbed into her story. I would have liked a book about her later years. Her personal evolution was fascinating. She grew so much.

mcctrish I can‘t believe how long we had to wait for her to leave!!! Every time she circled back to a moment before to add more details - she seemed to do that a bit more towards the end - I‘d be yelling what was the final straw!!! 2d

Eggbeater @mcctrish I did a lot of yelling out loud throughout the book. 2d
