House of Leaves | Mark Z Danielewski

I knew immediately what I will be choosing for #TPRC Katherine Martell - a book you had/will have to push yourself through.
My kryptonite book is House of Leaves. I tried solo, buddy reads, chapter a day. Only to pull the parachute cord and bail. 🪂
YouTuber Oskar/A Theory Reader has taken on the brave task of audiobooking HoL. I want to wait until he‘s finished with it before I make another attempt at it.

SconsinBookyBadger @Leftcoastzen last time I read HoL I made it half way through. I‘m more hopeful now that a YouTuber is audiobooking it. 😸 2mo
Yuki_Onna Woooha! 🤯 The House of Leaves - the Behemoth... I'm beyond impressed!!!! 2mo
SconsinBookyBadger @Yuki_Onna if Mt Everest was a book it would be this one 🏔️🧗‍♀️ 2mo

Carrie | Stephen King

Pickpick

Carrie White does not have it easy. She is unpopular at school and subjected to her mother‘s religious fanaticism at home. She also has a secret: she can move things with her mind. When she feels like she‘s been given a chance to be normal, an unexpected and cruel prank turns her gift into a weapon of horror.

This was a reread. Always as good as the first time I read it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Secret Garden | F. Burnett

Pickpick

It had been several years since my last reread of this one, and this spring it just felt right to pick it up. There is SO much to love about this delightful book, and I loved revisiting it. I will say that at one point it feels like Burnett kind of gets a little weird about “the Magic“ but overall this is still a heart book.

Pictured with some of the flats of annuals I purchased today... getting ready to get my own garden going!!!

Sourcery | Terry Pratchett

Pratchett has been on my radar for quite some time, but I've never actually jumped in. So when @julesg said that the #OokBookClub was starting over, this seemed like a great time to give his writing a whirl. I enjoyed but wasn't mind-blown by this one, but the consensus seems to be that it isn't his best, and this was still an easy pick. I'm looking forward to working through some of these, as I found the characters, world-building, and humor ⬇

Librarybelle Nice! I‘ve yet to read anything by Pratchett! 3mo
BarbaraJean Ohhh, I hadn't seen that #OokBookClub was starting over... I may have to jump into that! Because I need more buddy reads 😂 I've only read Pratchett's Tiffany Aching series, and then Mort--and I loved all of them. 3mo

TheSpineView Great job! Currently working on this book. Maybe will finish tomorrow. 3mo
Andrew65 Excellent 👏👏👏 3mo
julesG @Librarybelle you can always join us for a book or more 😉 3mo
Librarybelle Thanks, @julesG ! Maybe someday I will pick up the book… #somanybookssolittletime 3mo
TheAromaofBooks @BarbaraJean - Yes, and that group runs from the 8th of the month to the 8th of the next month, so if you want to join you still have over a week to read the first book!! 😁 3mo
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks My thought exactly!! I just checked it out on Hoopla…😁 3mo

Yesterday was the 24th of April, time for the drawing of #TwinPeaksReadingChallenge 's featured prompt of April/May. Sorry I'm one day late, but... Yesterday has been incredibly taxing, I just couldn't.

This month the prompt is 5. Deputy Hawk - a book by an indigenous author.

SconsinBookyBadger Teeny typo in my litsy name. It‘s missing a y between book and badger. 3mo
Yuki_Onna @SconsinBookyBadger Ups, sorry! Thank you for pointing it out, I'd never have noticed and the tags wouldn't have worked correctly 🫣 (edited) 3mo

Fragile: A Novel | Lisa Unger

Pickpick

Despite the cover blurb, I don't think I would term this one as “nail-biting“. However, it did keep me turning the pages. This is a sort of character-study thriller, with a slow reveal of backstories and motivations, exploring both a current and past case. While I did have some mixed feelings about some aspects, overall I enjoyed it and actually reserved the second book at the library. 😁

TheAromaofBooks Great #LMPBC pick @Jerdencon !!! @bookandbedandtea I'll mail this one sometime next week!!!! @robinb 3mo
