Monday Or Tuesday | Virginia Woolf

pan

I‘ll be honest, I have no idea what I read - I just know Woolf‘s style isn‘t for me. So much double speak and description of minutiae for no real reason. Only one of the stories in this collection was enjoyable to me…but even then its point felt confused. #AuthorAMonth

Mrs. Dalloway | Virginia Woolf

bailed

I give up. While I have so far had a lot of success with #authoramonth this one is just not for me. It‘s time to #hailthebail.

TheBookHippie If you still want to try -this is fascinating

Love Letters: Vita and Virginia

Sace @TheBookHippie thanks for the recommendation! 4d

DrSabrinaMoldenReads I read all of her Diaries. She was a fascinating person. So tragic though. 3d

Monday Or Tuesday | Virginia Woolf

bailed

I tried Virginia Woolf for the first time and she is definitely not for me. I hope other #AuthorAMonth readers have better luck!

TheBookHippie 🙃 I adore her. Sorry it didn‘t work for you. 6d

Soubhiville @TheBookHippie It‘s ok! I‘ve found so many other authors through #AAM, there‘s bound to be one that misses every once in a while. 📚🙂 (edited) 6d

Sace I feel better seeing this. I‘ve spent today debating whether to bail or not. I might give her one more day, but I‘ve been struggling with her. 6d

ChaoticMissAdventures I liked her Mrs Dalloway, but her racism has always been an issue with me and I have struggled to get into any others. 6d

Soubhiville @Sace I felt like the language was too dense. I was trying so hard to understand what she meant that it wasn‘t enjoyable at all. Did people ever talk like this or was she trying to make her works somewhat inaccessible? I‘d love to hear theories. 6d

AmyG Yeah, I read one of her books, forgot which one, but she is not for me either. 6d

Gissy I think the same. I will try some books I own but I don‘t feel that passion for her writing style as other people do🤷🏽‍♀️There are authors and writing style for every reader🙌📚 4d

PurpleyPumpkin This is great! As I was listening to the audiobook and realized there was a recipe for each character, I thought about checking to see if there was a list of the recipes somewhere online. But I didn‘t get around to it. 😅 Thanks for sharing! 🍌🍍🍒😂 7d

tpixie @PurpleyPumpkin yes! 👏🏻 I‘ve received an email about it today so I had to share!! 📘 7d

Mrs. Dalloway | Virginia Woolf

I chose the tagged book for July #authoramonth, but I wasn‘t having any luck with just an eyeball read or just listening. So now I am following along in the book while I listen and it seems to be helping.

Haroun and the Sea of Stories | Salman Rushdie

I‘ve wanted to read Salman Rushdie for a while and I‘ve been told that the tagged book is a good place to start with this author. It‘s not the only one from him on my shelf though.

coffees I stopped keeping a long term TBR so I can't think of anyone...🤔 Lol! 7d

TheBookHippie This one was my first by him. I‘ve now read it all. Some I love some it depended when I read it.

Midnight's Children

Sace @coffees I try not to do a long term TBR either. More month by month. 7d

Sace @TheBookHippie oh that one is on my shelf too! 7d

dabbe I adored this book. 💙 7d

Sace @dabbe glad to hear! Rushdie is an author who intimidates me. 7d

dabbe @Sace Me, too. That's why I read this one of #authoramonth. I can't wait to read what you think about it. 7d

BookmarkTavern Oh I‘ve had Rushdie on my list for a while too! Thanks for posting! 6d

June | Lori Copeland

So, I‘m very behind in reviews for June & procrastination has continued its hold on me but until I get them done, here‘s my June recap. Work, life, a dead Kindle & family visits mean I didn‘t get as much read as I wanted, but I ended up finishing 12 books + 3 more in process.

I did manage to finish books for #SundayBuddyRead #NancyDrewBR #EBBR #BobWhiteBuddies #FictionalTravel #SeasonalCozies #CampLitsy2025 #AuthorAMonth & 2 #Roll100 books ⬇️

Megabooks, Riveted_Reader_Melissa, TheBookHippie, Librarybelle, squirrelbrain, BarbaraBB, Ruthiella, TheAromaofBooks, PuddleJumper, julieclair

DebinHawaii … with 3 books I‘m finishing up in July including ones for #SheSaid & my final #Roll100 pick + one for Leadership at work. My top 3 favorites were Starter Villain, Wild Dark Shore & Ash, although I think that I Who Have Not Known Men will be right up there. Hopefully I‘ll get the reviews posted soon, along with my July TBR. 1w

Librarybelle You still read well for June! 1w

Ruthiella I agree with @Librarybelle ! Good results despite the challenges. 👍 1w

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Fantastic month!! 1w

julieclair Still a good month! I didn‘t get to Starter Villain in June. Hoping I can fit it in to July. 🤞 1w
