Lauredhel So with State Fair... Do I need to read an American book, or could it be like a translation into my local lingo? (Royal Show, the Ekka, Ag Show) 3d

AsYouWish @Lauredhel It can definitely be a translation! I am very flexible so however you interpret it, is perfect!!! 😁 3d

Roary47 Ooo The Patriot is a good movie. 3d

If you guessed The Patriot was July‘s #WickedWords movie theme - you were correct!

Some of you caught on that I had used this one before, but it is one of my all time favorites, so it had to make the list!

Xander inspecting my weekly #libraryhaul . He‘s probably wondering if I will actually open any of these books, or if they will sit in a neat stack on my dresser. 😂

Any must reads from the stacks? I know Woodworking has received lots of love.

Interior Chinatown: A Novel | Charles Yu

More than halfway through and still waiting for this metafiction to live up to its hype. I'm not sure whether it's just me, or whether I still judge every author using 2nd person in comparison to NK Jemisin (and none of them are NK Jemisin). Maybe it will all come together before the end?

Anyhow, I've finished #WickedWords for July @AsYouWish

Suet624 I remember feeling the same way when I read this. 1w

Are You There Buddha? | Pip Harry

MG Australian riff on AYTGIMM. MC is a comp swimmer whose teammate and BFF wants to ask her out, but she is not ready . She gets her first period at his house, which she's also not ready for.

The drama lies mostly around school r'ships, a new kid, MC's rival on the swim team (who has troubles of her own - child abuse mentioned, not sexual) and dealing with having been abandoned by her mother who has run off to India.
