so-so⭐️⭐️💫 Mehhhh… ugh, yes, I get it, you wrote an *artsy* novel where nothing means anything and there is no clarity about WTF is going on. It felt like a book version of playing a game with a child where they keep making up new rules so that they always win. The writing itself was fine, but I still wish I could have those few hours back. #CampLitsy 🏕️
so-soIt took me forever to read and finish this short book. I wanted to understand what‘s happening and maybe I did, a bit, but mostly I didn‘t, probably ??♀️
I love Kitamura‘s style but I am not sure at all what to think of this book. It‘s perfect for a #CampLitsy25 discussion though, that‘ll be so enlightening. And I might make a pick from this so-so afterwards!
? Last weekend in San Sebastián, Spain
so-soI thought, I start this to see whether I like it and then I just read it. I have no idea what to think of it, so I am very much looking forward to the #camplitsy discussions!
#14books14weeks
Here is my list of books to tackle from May 26 to September 1. A combination of #NetGalley ARCs, a couple #CampLitsy picks and a few I‘ve been wanting to pick up.
If you want to join make your list of 14 books and tag @Liz_M Thanks for hosting!
pickThis was a fast read (power outage, nothing else to do), and I enjoyed it very much. I know not every book has a happy ending, but this one could have. It was a bit of a let down. The book is a bit of an emotional roller coaster, and I enjoyed the different chapters told by the different characters, none of whom were without their issues. This was also a microcosm of global warming. All in all, a solid story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I know myself, with #CampLitsy25 on its way and probably #CampToB25 (why hasn‘t it been announced yet?!) and the upcoming #Booker longlist I know I‘ll keep changing my reading plans. So to make it doable I chose the shortest books on my TBR shelves for #14Books14Weeks. Looking forward to reading all of these!
Between #authoramonth and #bookclub selections and #camplitsy I filled out most of my list for #14books14weeks & just needed a couple more from my TBR.
pickGreat timing for me to be reading the audiobook of James just as it won the Pullitzer!
I wanted to give a shout out to the narrator Dominic Hoffman. He really is fantastic. I listened to him narrate Homegoing years ago and that book is now burned in my brain. (Please listen to it if you havent read it yet!) He has a gorgeous voice and made the differences in James‘s use of two languages have such an impact on me. This book is thought provoking ⬇️
