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

I was pretty certain on Thursday I would have nothing to report, so I‘m thrilled to share 2 books.
Good Company on audio was just meh and I enjoyed my upcoming IRL bookclub choice: Excellent Women.
I‘ve stopped & started SEVERAL books the last 3 weeks so I‘m hoping to pick up a few next week.
I‘m currently listening to a #FoodAndLit choice by an Israeli author, which is ok but not sure I‘d recommend it.

AlaMich I really enjoyed Excellent Women. So much so that I promptly went and ordered used copies of most of her other books! 😅 4y

LeahBergen @AlaMich Nicely done! 👏🏻 4y

emilyhaldi Woohoo!! You did better than my single book for the month of April thus far 🤪 I don‘t have #vacationbrain but something is killing my reading vibes lately 😒 4y

TrishB 👍🏻 more than valid other things to do! 4y

AlaMich @LeahBergen Pym has been a comfort read for me during this last dumpster fire of a year. 4y

Cinfhen Sorry about the dud reading vibes @emilyhaldi hopefully you get the mojo back 💕 4y

Cinfhen I really didn‘t do much more than laundry, dishes, cooking and hovering @TrishB but it still felt good 🤪 4y

Cinfhen Which other titles of Pym did you enjoy @AlaMich @LeahBergen 4y

KarenUK Love how your books match! 💐 4y

Cinfhen I noticed that too @KarenUK 🌷💜🌸 4y

AlaMich I liked Some Tame Gazelle and Crampton Hodnet. Although I have many of her titles I have not yet read them all...shocking! 4y

LeahBergen @AlaMich @Cinfhen I‘m currently reading (really only just started) Less than Angels but I loved Some Tame Gazelle and Jane and Prudence. 4y

Cinfhen Good to know @LeahBergen I read that Mildred makes a return in another of Pym‘s books as the wife of Mr. Boyne (edited) 4y

Excellent Women | Barbara Pym

IRL bookclub up next! Glad it‘s on the shorter side as my #VacationBrain is still lingering. To all you Littens who manage family obligations, responsibilities, career and other real life distractions and STILL manage to find time to read, I‘m fully impressed and totally humbled. Man, It‘s SO hard to FOCUS & separate. I just couldn‘t distance myself or quiet my brain from everything going on around me.

Cathythoughts I hope you enjoy this book ! I really did ! And I totally agree ... if I wasn‘t semi-retired there‘s no way I could read as much as I do. I hope you had a wonderful holiday 👍🏻❤️ 4y

Flaneurette This is my life for the last year! Husband and 3 kids all home 24/7 and no way I can concentrate. Am looking forward to nice weather so I can at least read on the porch. First world problem I know!🤣 4y

Cinfhen You have all of my respect @Flaneurette 🙌🏻 it‘s a lot!!! Hope you get that GREAT weather soon!! 4y

KatieB Such beautiful flowers! 4y

Cinfhen Thanks @KatieB 💜They make me happy 😊 4y

Librariana I'm delighted you got to spend time with family 😊💜 Ours are all in the Southwest United States and we are in the Pacific Northwest so I don't necessarily have to contend with those type of distractions (although I would certainly welcome them! I miss my Mamá, sister, and niece dearly!) 4y

TrishB I have interviewed all day today, I think my brain has retired. 8 hours. On zoom. (edited) 4y

Cinfhen That‘s 7 1/2 hours too many @TrishB xxx TGIF 4y

Cinfhen I know how you feel @Librariana Missing family is SO HARD!! I hope you get to see them IN PERSON soon and not on a little screen 🧡 4y

TrishB 🍻 and take away now x 4y

BarbaraBB Hey, that‘s my life! Yet I feel now I‘ve been out of the rhythm of working and caretaking for a week, I have read less! 4y

Cinfhen I don‘t know how you are managing @BarbaraBB @TrishB although 🍺and takeaway are very appealing!!!! I‘m still super jetlagged too so my concentration is total shit. 4y

alisiakae @Flaneurette same here, except hubby does go to work. @Cinfhen my reading has dropped drastically in the past year since I started working again, but on the plus side I think I am more selective with my books, ans list of them have been great reads! 4y

Cinfhen I can see how true that would be @4thhouseontheleft quality over quantity is ALWAYS better 💜 4y

Milk Fed: A Novel | Melissa Broder

OMG!!! My #VacationBrain is LOVING this audiobook ❤️🎧It‘s soooo good 😌 I think this might be your jam too @britt_brooke @Reviewsbylola @KarenUK @Kalalalatja I can‘t decide if you‘re gonna love it or hate it @Megabooks but MAJOR TW **Eating Disorder** and toxic mother/ daughter relationship 🙄I love my mom BUT a lot of this book is TALKING to me 😬

britt_brooke Ooh, thanks!! #stacked 4y

Megabooks I really don‘t like Melissa‘s writing, but I‘m glad you‘re enjoying it! (edited) 4y

Cinfhen I wasn‘t sure if she‘s too snarky for you @Megabooks but I definitely think you‘d appreciate the sarcasm @britt_brooke 4y

KarenUK I own this one! Moving it up the list (you know me so well!) 💕 4y

MicheleinPhilly I put this on hold ages ago and just got a notice that it available. BUT I haven‘t been clicking with library books lately so I‘ve pushed it back a few weeks. 4y

Megabooks For me it‘s also skinny people complaining about being fat. That drives me bananas. Any book with that is an automatic pass. 4y

Cinfhen Yeah, I totally hear you @Megabooks but almost all women have an unhealthy relationship to food & weight. It‘s quite sad 😔 it‘s really a shame 4y

Cinfhen I‘m not sure how you‘ll feel about this book @MicheleinPhilly I‘m only on chapter 8 or 9 so it‘s still early stages.... 4y

Megabooks It truly is. It‘s not that I don‘t feel bad that most thin women have difficult relationships food and weight; it‘s just that fat women have a different set of ones. I‘ve been everything from an Abercrombie 0 to a Torrid 20, so it‘s just not anything I want to read about for fun. My eating was so much more disordered from size 0-6 than it is now, but I was more accepted by society. Maybe that‘s why I don‘t think it‘s fun to read. 🤔 4y

Redwritinghood I finished the print version of this one yesterday. Really liked it. 4y

Cinfhen Oh that‘s great to hear @Redwritinghood !!! We generally match up with our reading preferences 🥰 4y

TrishB Glad you found something entertaining 👍🏻 4y

Megabooks Sent you an email. 💕 4y

Kalalalatja Stacked! I‘m always here for a book exploring mother/daughter relationships 👍 4y

Centique @Megabooks I hear you Meg. The shaming that goes with it is a whole other burden to carry. 💕 4y

Centique @Cinfhen I was just listening to a Book Cougars podcast today where they talked about this book. I was fascinated about the idea of an orthodox background dealing with a gay relationship? But it may be too snarky for me too. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Will see how your review pans out! 😘 4y

Cinfhen I only have another hour + left @Centique but I think I‘m about to bail.... book just got too strange for me. All of these sexual innuendos and obsessive food/calorie counts is becoming too much 🤨too bad, because I think she‘s a good writer 4y

Centique @Cinfhen sounds like it would be too much for me as well. If you come across any good books about orthodox religion and coming out stories let me know 😘 4y

Tall Man: The Death of Doomadgee | Chloe Hooper

pick

While I found the case of Cameron Doomadgee heartbreaking and infuriating, I can‘t say I was surprised by any of it. It‘s unfortunately another legal, racial and all too often gross miscarriage of justice perpetuated by those in power/ authority. I wish I read this when I was feeling more mindful because my #VacationBrain was often distracted.

Cinfhen @Hooked_on_books do you still have my email?? Please send me your address and I‘ll happily forward this book to you. Thanks for the recommendation @LeeRHarry 4y

LeeRHarry You‘re welcome 😊 - as you said heartbreaking but unfortunately all to common place. 4y

Quick and Short Book Reports | Randy Thorne

A day late, but that‘s how I seem to be functioning right now 🤪#VacationBrain is messing with me 😜I‘m not even attempting to post a #WeeklyForecast ....Loner was the standout star!!! The others were ok...and I bailed on too many different books/audios to mention 😬

BarbaraBB I envy your #VacationBrain 🤍 Enjoy! 4y

Bookzombie I think I stacked Loner because of you. I‘m also interested in Opal & Nev. Partly because it fits a #Booked2021 prompt. 4y

Cinfhen Loner is GREAT on audio @Bookzombie and it was on #Hoopla....I‘m liking Opal & Nev ( I think it‘s better than Daisy Jones) 4y

See All 8 Comments

Cinfhen Yessssss #VacationBrain is TOTALLY enviable @BarbaraBB 💚💚💚 4y

Leftcoastzen Glad you liked Loner , I did too! 4y

Bookzombie @Cinfhen That‘s great! I really liked Daisy Jones. 4y

Megabooks So glad you loved Loner! 4y

Cinfhen I really did @Megabooks @Leftcoastzen 🥰 (edited) 4y

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

I have been with friends all weekend, so I haven‘t read much. Still reading Queenie, and liking it, I‘m just too tired to read print books these days. I have had a good audio week, and I‘m really digging Sorcerer to the Crown!

I‘m off from Thursday to next Monday, so I‘m hoping to get some reading done there, and hopefully my BookDepository haul will arrive soon, so I can read some of the books I ordered 🤞

Cinfhen

Cinfhen I bailed on this one, this week

Jonny Appleseed

Kalalalatja @Cinfhen because of the narration? Or something else? 4y

Cinfhen The narration grew on me but the story was too heavy for my #VacationBrain....I just didn‘t want to go there with him... 4y

Kalalalatja @Cinfhen I get that, it is heavy! Are you enjoying being back in the States with your family? ☺️ 4y

Cinfhen Yes!!! But I‘m SO DISTRACTED @Kalalalatja I just can‘t focus on anything or anyone 4y
