Repost for #Megabooks

I am incredibly excited to be your counselor for July! We‘ll start off with the #1 vote getter, James, and if you haven‘t read Everett, be ready to leap into his backlist after this because he‘s wonderful. Then very appropriately we‘ll move on to Miranda July‘s All Fours. An artist on the edge? Yes, please! I hope you‘ll join us for one or both books! #CampLitsy24

Meg, Helen and I are so glad you are as thrilled as we are about #CampLitsy24: 74 people voted, which is a new record!
Clear will be our first June read, followed by Butter. We hope you‘re happy with these first books!
I‘ll be your host in June & will get back to you with the reading schedule.

CBee Thanks Meg! 1h

Megabooks @Suet624 @CBee @sarahbarnes looking forward to seeing you at camp! 1h

Megabooks @jlhammar James is the only one for camp I‘ve already read, and I loved it! Even if you give into temptation, I hope you‘ll join us for discussion. 😁 1h

Megabooks @TheKidUpstairs I have her short story collection, but I haven‘t read it yet. I‘m going to try to get to it before I dive into this novel. I hope you will join us for both!

TrishB Brilliant ❤️ look forward to it. 1d

monalyisha Hooray! Thanks for all of your work! 1d

julesG This is what I like about Camp Litsy, it drags me out of my comfort zone. 😉 I had neither book on my radar; well, apart from the nominations. 1d

TheBookHippie @julesG SAME!! It‘s never a book I‘d read 😅 24h

JamieArc Woohoo 🎉 Glad for an excuse to hit the bookstore this weekend to pick them up! And looking forward to what @Megabooks has for us tomorrow! 24h

JenReadsAlot @julesG @TheBookHippie Same!! 23h

Suet624 Thank you so much!!! 23h

CBee Thank you ladies ♥️♥️ 23h

jlhammar Yay! I already have Clear and Butter sounds great. Can‘t wait! 23h

kspenmoll Thanks! 23h

Bookwormjillk Yay! 23h

Caroline2 Yay! Very happy these two got selected. Can‘t wait!! 😃 23h

AmyG Ooooooo thank you! So excited! 23h

youneverarrived Fab! Look forward to reading them ❤️ 22h

BarbaraJean So excited!! Clear was one of my top choices, but I marked Butter with an “eh” ranking 😂 I‘ve put it on hold anyway and will give it a shot if I can get it in time! 21h

Megabooks Clear just came in at the library for me!! 19h

peaKnit Got my holds placed! 18h

KateReadsYA Yayyy! I voted for Clear. I've placed my hold at the library (: 18h

Soubhiville Woohoo! Can‘t wait to read with you all! 18h

Looking forward to Camp with you all🤍 16h

TheBookHippie @BarbaraBB my annual summertime snark 😅😘🤭🤷🏻‍♀️ I‘m looking forward to reading with you all!!! 16h

Megabooks @JamieArc idk 😏🏕️🤔🤔🚣🏿‍♀️ 15h

Chelsea.Poole A CLEAR favorite! Glad to see it make camp! Pretty surprised about Butter, but very much looking forward to it as well 🧈 15h

Chelsea.Poole @TheKidUpstairs I feel like Clear is such a you-book!! 15h

TheKidUpstairs @Chelsea.Poole you're so right! I already own a copy (I had it pre-ordered). I was about to start reading it, but then I saw there was a lot of camp interest! Can't wait to read it with everyone 15h

TheKidUpstairs @BarbaraJean I had the same reaction to Butter. But that's one of the great things about camp, it paid you to try books you might pass up otherwise. Who knows, it could be a total hit! 15h

Roary47 I‘m excited to try these out with everyone. 🥰 13h

Hooked_on_books I read about Clear shortly before it came out and knew I had to read it immediately, so I did so when it showed up at my library. It‘s slim but I think there‘s a lot to talk about. I know almost nothing about Butter, so we‘ll see what I think about it when my hold comes in! 6h

Bookbuyingaddict Amazing. 🤩 I purchased clear in London yesterday and already ordered butter 🧈 from the library 📚 thank you ☺️ for organising this #camplitsy24 which do we read first ? @BarbaraBB 3h

TheKidUpstairs So excited for another great year of camp! 2d

Laughterhp Oo so excited!! 2d

julieclair Woo hoo! Can‘t wait to see the winners! 2d

RaeLovesToRead TOO EXCITED 2d

Ruthiella I voted (I think?). I will check! 2d

Hooked_on_books Ah, teasing us by trickling out the results, I see! Devious! 2d

CatLass007 I read some excellent books with y‘all last year and I had only just come back to Litsy after a long hiatus. My favorite was Bandit Queens and I hope the author is working away at her next book. I learned a lot from Hijab Butch Blues and enjoyed Lamya‘s story. I wish them well. I didn‘t care for Yellowface and it seemed like there were others at Camp who felt the same way. I still don‘t understand how it became such a big hit. I didn‘t (cont)⬇️ 2d

CatLass007 vote last year so I think I‘ll just trust the judgment of my fellow campers again this year. 2d

CBee Yayyyyyy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2d

BarbaraBB @CatLass007 we do hope and are fairly sure we‘ll read another bunch of great books! 1d

BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books Haha, yes 🙌🏽 1d

AmyG Awesome! 1d

KarenUK I‘m so excited to see the winners…. So many choices it was hard to pick! 1d

BarbaraBB @KarenUK I hope you‘ll like the winners but I am pretty sure you will! 1d

Hooked_on_books

The Extinction of Irena Rey | Jennifer Croft

pick

I expected this one to be super weird and it was, but turns out it‘s my kind of weird. Croft explores the relationship between authors and their translators and plays with language (I‘m sure even more than I realized), as well as winking at her own work. I didn‘t love the ending and this won‘t be for everyone, but I dug it.

Ruthiella This was one of my votes for #CampLitsy24 4d
