TrishB Thank you! Very interesting 😁 just brought one of these yesterday. 2w
BarbaraBB Great stats Helen, I‘ll probably read these too 😇 2w
sarahbarnes Fun! 🤩 2w
JamieArc Love this! Thanks for posting it! 2w
Bookwormjillk I think I will be under my covers with my flashlight reading sky daddy this summer at camp. Thanks for the stats! 2w
GatheringBooks Thank you for sharing all these additional info re camp - makes everything sound super official. So much fun! I appreciate all your generous efforts in setting up everything and making everyone feel so welcome and so much like a part of a very bookish family - exactly what I need! 💕💕💕 2w
ChaoticMissAdventures I know how to pick 'em 😉 Thanks for the tag, I voted then promptly forgot what I voted for 😂 2w
GatheringBooks @ChaoticMissAdventures same! I couldn‘t for the life of me remember what i voted for! Lolololols 2w
Leniverse Nice to see that a couple of my choices nearly made it 😂 2w
Larkken @Leniverse me too! Lol. I'll read them all anyway 2w
Ruthiella Love seems the almost rans! So little time, so many books! 😊 2w
Megabooks @Bookwormjillk it is gloriously weird! 2w
Megabooks Helen - my favorite camp statistician!! Always keeping us organized!! 💜💜 2w
Megabooks I recommend all three on this graphic that I‘ve read - Tuberculosis, Sky Daddy, and Run for the Hills! All had great audio, too. 👍🏻💯 2w
JenReadsAlot Oh 3 of the ones I picked made that list. Thanks for sharing! 2w
Megabooks And I‘ve read Bat Eater! It was great, too! 2w
squirrelbrain You‘re welcome - glad you like them! @Kitta @CBee @JamieArc @Ruthiella @Deblovestoread @sarahbarnes 2w
squirrelbrain I‘ll be reading most of the longlist, I think! 🤪 @BarbaraBB @Leniverse @Larkken @JenReadsAlot 2w
squirrelbrain Oooh @TrishB - which one did you buy? 2w
squirrelbrain That‘s so nice of you to say! @GatheringBooks 😍 2w
squirrelbrain We going to need to keep an eye on you aren‘t we?! 👀 @Bookwormjillk 🤣 2w
squirrelbrain @ChaoticMissAdventures - LOL, there were *so* many to choose from though! 2w
squirrelbrain @Megabooks -you know me and my spreadsheets! 😜 2w
squirrelbrain @TheBookHippie - here‘s (some of!) your non-fiction….nearly but not quite! 2w
CSeydel Thank you! I love seeing the stats, and it‘s super interesting to see the runners-up! 2w
TheBookHippie @squirrelbrain 🤣 2w
Hooked_on_books I‘m surprised to not see the Ocean Vuong book. I expected it to be one of our picks and his first novel didn‘t work for me, so I wasn‘t happy about it. And clearly I was way off base! I am a little surprised to see Everything is Tuberculosis here. I know many find John Green appealing, but to me he‘s not the one I would want to read about TB from. 🤷🏼♀️ 2w
Suet624 Thank you! I took a screenshot so I can check these out too. 2w
Bookwormjillk @squirrelbrain anyone want to sneak out? 2w
squirrelbrain Only if it involves a trip to a library or bookshop @Bookwormjillk 🤣 Or maybe if cake is involved…. 🍰 2w
squirrelbrain There‘s always some surprises each year @Hooked_on_books - either doing much better or worse than expected. Last year, *everyone* said they wanted to read Real Americans but no-one voted for it. 🤔 2w
squirrelbrain You‘re welcome! @CSeydel 2w
squirrelbrain Great idea to take a screenshot! @Suet624 2w
BarbaraBB @Megabooks Thanks for the recommendations! If you liked them, I will probably too! 2w
TrishB Heartwood 👍🏻 2w
Megabooks @squirrelbrain @Hooked_on_books yes! It was so funny last year. I think RA got like 15 noms and only 1 vote! 🤣🤣 edit: I do like that though because it means people are thinking outside of just their noms into what they think would be good camp books. We see this year after year, which is really cool! (edited) 2w
Kitta @Hooked_on_books I voted for the Ocean Vuong, I adore his poetry but haven‘t read his first novel yet - what didn‘t you like about it? 2w
Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain @Megabooks That‘s so interesting about RA! I do think it would have been a good book to discuss and I frankly assumed people voted for their own noms, but clearly it‘s not that simple! 2w
Hooked_on_books @Kitta I felt like it held me at arm‘s length and each time I felt I was finally connecting with it, the story would go in another direction. After it happened several times, I just bailed. 2w
ImperfectCJ I totally forgot what I voted for as soon as I voted, but I was happy with the final 6, so I'm not surprised to learn that I voted for 3 of them. :-) There are definitely a few on this longlist that I'll be reading, too. 2w
fredthemoose I‘ve been buried at work and didn‘t nominate or vote since I didn‘t have time to do research, but wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who did and to @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB and @Megabooks for hosting. I have time to read/listen and am looking forward to my first summer at Camp! 🏕️ 2w
Soubhiville Thanks for posting this @squirrelbrain ! I also love seeing these extra tidbits, and I‘ll save this list as well. The conversation it‘s started makes me feel like we‘re already camping! ⛺️❤️ 2w
GatheringBooks @Hooked_on_books i am surprised not to find eowyn ivey actually since so many people nominated that title too. Love the surprise twists in camp. 2w
Megabooks @fredthemoose looking forward to seeing you at camp this summer!! 2w
BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books @Megabooks I love that people get inspired by other people‘s nominations. And of course you vote for six books while you nominated just four. I also expected Ocean Vuong and Eowyn Ivey to end up higher than they did @GatheringBooks 2w
BarbaraBB @fredthemoose I‘m glad you‘ll be joining us and that work will give you some time off to do so! 2w
Hooked_on_books @GatheringBooks @BarbaraBB Excellent point about Ivey. I remember during nominations expecting her to show up as one of the picks. 2w
squirrelbrain Yes, I think the Ivey was this year‘s Real Americans - everyone talked about it, but only 4 votes! I think the Vuong was less of a dead cert because his first book was slightly challenging to read. @Hooked_on_books @GatheringBooks @BarbaraBB 2w
squirrelbrain Everyone seems to have forgotten what they voted for! @ImperfectCJ but at least everyone is pretty happy with the outcome. 2w
squirrelbrain @fredthemoose - you‘ll have to watch out for the initiation ceremony, it being your first camp! Only kidding! 🤣 Glad you‘ll have the time to join in. 2w
squirrelbrain You‘re welcome! @Soubhiville - not long now until camp *actually* starts! 😊 2w
Zuhkeeyah Can you please add me to the tag list? I just finished Audition and cannot wait to discuss (edited) 1w
squirrelbrain Yes, of course! @Zuhkeeyah 🏕️ Looking forward to your contributions! 1w
