Litsy

Once again I will be your camp counselor for July, and I am so excited to discuss these books!

I have already read Death of the Author, and I have been dying to discuss it because it is so unique. Woodworking is new to me, and I‘m so excited for us to explore it together.

I‘ll be posting page breaks later, but I hope you can join me July 5/6 and 12/13 for Author and July 19/20 and 26/27 for Woodworking! 🏕️😁 #CampLitsy25

Audition | Katie Kitamura

pick

Another great book by Kitamura. Her sparse, detached writing style is perfect for this story. I‘m a fan of David Lynch‘s films, and reading this felt like watching Lost Highway for the first time - I could never get my footing in the story before it shifted and blurred again. So good. Excited this will be our first book for #CampLitsy this year!

Billypar You sold me with the Lynch comparison! 16h

Ruthiella So looking forward to this. I definitely also want to go back and read her debut as well. 16h

BarbaraBB Now I want to read it even more. Very happy this will be our first #CampLitsy25 read! 14h

squirrelbrain Yay - great review! Looking forward to this even more now! 11h

Lesliereadsalot Excited to read this one! I‘m next at my library. 3h

BarbaraBB Yay, that‘s quite the kick-off! I think the Littens chose very wisely 😀 I am looking forward to a new Kitamura and as I‘ve been shouting out everywhere I LOVED Wild Dark Shore so can‘t wait to discuss it around the campfire 🔥 2d

Bookwormjillk Yay!!! Camp!!! 🏕️🐻❤️ 2d

Lesliereadsalot Very excited! ⛺️🪵🩷 2d

sarahbarnes Yay, so excited for these picks to kick us off! I‘m reading Audition right now and have WDS waiting! 2d

Bookwormjillk PS anyone listened to these on audio? 2d

CBee So glad that I waited to read Wild Dark Shore! Very excited! 2d

TheKidUpstairs Yay! I'm excited to discuss Audition, from reviews it looks like a great one to talk through with you all! And I'm also excited to give McConaghy another chance! 2d

Read4life Looks like a good start to camp!! 🏕️ 2d

Ruthiella Nice! I ha Audition out now from the library-great timing. 👍 2d

JenP 🥳 very excited! 2d

Susanita I‘ve put holds on them! 2d

Megabooks Yay!!! So glad camp starts soon!! 🏕️ 2d

Deblovestoread Fantastic! Excited for both books and camp! 2d

TrishB Ready on the pile! Can‘t wait 😁. Great choices. 2d

ChaoticMissAdventures OMG OMG I am so excited!!!!! 2d

BarbaraJean 🎉🎉Now to hope and pray the library holds come in on time!! 2d

JenReadsAlot Yay!!! 2d

GatheringBooks Woohoo! Bought my copies! 🤞🏽📚📚📚 2d

Hooked_on_books I predicted these two would get picked. I loved WDS and look forward to discussing it but won‘t be reading Audition. I read her last 2 and she doesn‘t work for me. 2d

JamieArc Woohoo! Excited to see which books we are reading this summer! 2d

ImperfectCJ I love both authors and am very excited for these! I'll be traveling in June and library holds are iffy, so I just bought the ebooks for on my Kobo (and I almost never buy ebooks, so that shows how excited I am!) 2d

cariashley Rats, I didn‘t manage to get to vote, but I know I‘m in good hands here! Already excited about the first two picks! 2d

Jess Nice! I already read WDS but look forward to chatting with everyone about it. I just found Audition in Spotify so will probably use my June hours to listen to that one. Can‘t wait to see what else was chosen! 2d

MeganAnn Yay! 🎉 Looking forward to both and WDS especially since everyone seems to be raving about it. 🤞🏻My library holds will come through in time. Looks like WDS has been so popular they have added extra copies so that might help. 2d

squirrelbrain @Bookwormjillk @Lesliereadsalot @Read4life @JenP @Caroline2 @Deblovestoread @TrishB @ChaoticMissAdventures @JenReadsAlot @GatheringBooks @JamieArc - glad you‘re all so excited. The other 4 books are just as fabulous! 1d

squirrelbrain That‘s excellent timing! @sarahbarnes 1d

squirrelbrain @CBee - I‘ve been hanging back on reading a lot of books from the longlist, just in case! 🤪 1d

squirrelbrain @TheKidUpstairs - I get the feeling Audition might be a Marmite book, but certainly lots to discuss, if Chelsea.poole ‘s review is anything to go by! 😊 1d

squirrelbrain @mcctrish @AmyG - both your posts made me 🤭 and cheered up a grumpy work afternoon! ❤️ 1d

squirrelbrain I hope they do come in on time 🤞 @BarbaraJean 1d

squirrelbrain Yay! @GatheringBooks - and maybe some more to buy soon too…. 1d

squirrelbrain @Hooked_on_books - no worries, not every book will work for everyone. 🫤 1d

squirrelbrain We are truly honoured @ImperfectCJ 🤪 that camp is so exciting you bought e-books! 1d

mcctrish I have ordered both books. I am not playing this year. I wasted time I will never get back waiting for library holds to never come in 🤣🤣 1d

squirrelbrain @cariashley - I‘m sure you‘ve got more important things to be thinking about than voting for camp! 😊 I hope you get to join in at some point over the summer! 1d

squirrelbrain @jess - Audition is quite short so will hopefully fit within your hours! 🤞 1d

squirrelbrain Yes @meganann - I‘m looking forward to WDS so much as well. @BarbaraBB loved it and we have very similar taste in books. 1d

KarenUK I just bought Audition and I LOVED the other! Great choices so far! 1d

ErikasMindfulShelf Two great books! 1d

squirrelbrain @KarenUK @ErikasMindfulShelf - the other 4 are just as good! 😊 1d

kspenmoll Can‘t wait for both books. I own WDS but not the other.. 1d

BarbaraBB @mcctrish a wise decision 😃😃 1d

CBee @squirrelbrain must know what a Marmite book means now - I feel like I should know this already 🤔 1d

Chelsea.Poole So exciting! I‘ve been waiting to read Wild Dark Shore because I adore her other two, and I‘d like to really savor this one. Looks like I‘ll get to really dive in deep with it. And I can see Audition leading to some really interesting discussions. Let‘s goooo 🏕️ 1d

squirrelbrain @ruthiella - perfect timing! ❤️ 1d

squirrelbrain @Chelsea.Poole your review of Audition really intrigued me! 1d

squirrelbrain @cbee - sorry! 🤪 Marmite is a yeast extract that we either spread on toast or make into a drink. In the UK, people either love it or hate it, hence things are ‘Marmite‘ if they are polarising. 1d

peaKnit Held audition! I have read the other, it will be an excellent conversation! 18h

CBee @squirrelbrain I knew what Marmite was and had a feeling that‘s what it meant 😂😂 Perfect description!! 18h

Christine Thrilled about these! Recently read Audition and liked it a lot but have been eager to hear others‘ takes/interpretations. And I‘ve been sad about not yet getting to WDS but now I‘m glad! 15h

kspenmoll Thanks for hosting this again! 15h

Meshell1313 Perfect! Can‘t wait! 15h

monalyisha If I can find the time, I‘ll dive into Wild Dark Shore with you all! 14h

TheBookHippie I‘m in for Audition! 14h

squirrelbrain @peaknit I‘m really looking forward to WDS - I loved the author‘s other books. 14h

squirrelbrain @christine - yes, it sounds like there‘s a lot to talk about with Audition. 🤔 14h

squirrelbrain You‘re welcome @kspenmoll - we can‘t wait! 14h

squirrelbrain We can‘t wait either! @meshell1313 14h

squirrelbrain Hooray @monalyisha - hopefully you can squeeze it in! 14h

squirrelbrain Yay! 🎉@TheBookHippie - looking forward to it! 14h

squirrelbrain You‘re welcome ☺️ @cbee 14h

peaKnit @squirrelbrain I need to get her other books, I don‘t think I‘ve read anything of her before. What a treat to know there is more! 10h

CBee @peaKnit I recommend starting with

Migrations: A Novel

Zuhkeeyah I just borrowed Audition through Libby and placed a hold on WDS. Excited for the discussion 9h

peaKnit @CBee would you believe I own that, haven‘t read it and didn‘t connect it to this author? I‘m ready to go☺️ 9h

CBee @peaKnit happens to me all the time 😂 I hope you enjoy it when you get to it! 7h

Addison_Reads Great choices! 6h

Well-ReadNeck 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 4h

squirrelbrain Yes @peaKnit I preferred Migrations to Wolves, but loved both! @CBee 1h

squirrelbrain @Zuhkeeyah - glad you could get Audition, and hopefully WDS will come through in time. 🤞 1h

squirrelbrain @Addison_Reads @Well-ReadNeck - Littens always choose great books for camp! (Well, most of the time!) 🤣 1h

Audition | Katie Kitamura

pick

Scene: dark kitchen, pitter patter of early spring rain, I finish my book

Audition is not straightforward enough for one reading in my distracted brain. I think this would be a great choice for #camplitsy25 and then you all can tell me everything I missed!

There‘s so much coffee sipping, holding, getting. It must have some deeper meaning. Can someone fill me in on what? 😅 an awakening? Anxiety?

Authentic selves vs what we present the world

Lindy Sounds like my kind of book. Stacked! 5d

BarbaraBB Very curious about this one! 5d

squirrelbrain Great review - makes me very intrigued! 🤔 5d

See All 6 Comments

Chelsea.Poole @Lindy @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain there‘s so much going on beneath the surface, and much to chew on, for such a short book. I admire Kitamura‘s skill! 5d

sarahbarnes I‘m reading this right now and loving it - agree with you there is so much going on beneath the surface. I think the review that calls it “a Möbius strip of a novel” is spot on. 4d

TheKidUpstairs My hold just came in for this one! 2d

Butter: Roman | Asako Yuzuki

In training for #CampLitsy25 😁.

I‘ve voted (but am pretty confident that the book I REALLY want to read won‘t make the list), and now I‘m heading back to 🧈 🥢 . This was a Christmas present, or I probably wouldn‘t have bothered. So far, I don‘t hate it…. I‘ll get back to you in 300 pages!

Thanks for all your work @Megabooks @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain - hoping to ‘do‘ camp proper this year!

squirrelbrain Now I need to know which one you *really* want to read! (You can whisper it to me! 🤣) I won‘t say ‘enjoy‘ Butter….but give it a go anyway. 🤣😳😬 7d

BarbaraBB I did like Butter! It‘s very Japanese! And I am curious too about the one you really want to read! 6d

Kitta I read a lot of Japanese novels so the style was sort of familiar to me and the subject matter really interesting. I found myself quite hungry reading it! Not the best book of the year imo but I think I was in the minority who found it enjoyable! 6d

rockpools @squirrelbrain 😁 It‘s not beyond possibility that you *may* have nominated the one I‘m particularly curious about, Helen. I spent a lot of my childhood Christmases in the DN postcode area, but I don‘t think I‘ve ever done more than change trains in the town itself. (That was me whispering!) 6d

squirrelbrain Ah yes, I know which one you mean now…. 🤐 6d

rockpools @BarbaraBB @Kitta I am actually enjoying the Japaneseness of it. And will be putting 🧈 on my next rice meal! I suspect I‘d have been happy with 300 pages worth of it though. And I‘m off for a middle-aged-health-check in the morning, where I‘m bound to find out that I‘m 2inches shorter and 20kg heavier than Reiko - don‘t think I‘d have survived as a young woman in Japan! The beauty standards are mind-scrambling. Urgh! 6d

rockpools @squirrelbrain I‘m a big fan of books set in places that books are never set in! 6d

BarbaraBB Yes I was shocked by that too, the beauty standards I mean. And the importance of it, wow. Even worse than it is here! 6d

Kitta @rockpools I wanted some fancy butter so much during reading it! And yes I agree the beauty standards are crazy. 5d

Parnassus Books | Nashville, TN (Bookstore)

Finally! I have time to photograph and share my Parnassus stack (along with a little Vance clapback wood art 😉). I wish I had gotten the tee I likes, but next time. 🤞🏻

I try to plan a couple and choose a couple by happy accident. I knew I wanted the signed Audition and Kate & Frida. The Millet was an easy choice because it‘s short stories. Screaming was one I pulled randomly off the fiction shelves. I turned to a page in the middle and was ⬇️

Megabooks immediately hooked. I hope I enjoy it as much as I think I will. It‘s between that and K&F for my next read! Thank you so very much for the gift card @squirrelbrain 💜💜

Leniverse What do you do if there's a multi-way draw? 😱 Draw lots, or release them back to us for a second round of votes? 1w

sarahbarnes An impossible task! Just voted. So many on here I want to read regardless - an embarrassment of riches. 😍 1w

squirrelbrain @mcctrish @Kitta @JenReadsAlot @TrishB @Bookwormjillk @BkClubCare @Lesliereadsalot - we‘re lucky as we get to see the votes as they come in, which is just as exciting. Not long now until we find out who‘s coming to camp this year! 😜 1w

squirrelbrain @meshell1313 - yes, much closer than last year when James was way ahead of anything else. 1w

Kitta @RaeLovesToRead 😂 1w

squirrelbrain Thanks for voting @laughterhp @sarahbarnes - yes, I‘ve been ordering a fair few books over the last couple of weeks, whether they‘re going to make the final 6 or not! 1w

squirrelbrain @raelovestoread - nah, not happening, we can spot you a mile off! 🤣 Dressed in that bear costume from last year. 1w

Ruthiella This is as much fun as actually reading the books! I love the process and the possibilities. 😃 1w

Prairiegirl_reading @squirrelbrain @RaeLovesToRead 🤣🤣🐻🐻 1w

Prairiegirl_reading I‘ve been putting off book shopping until we find out the winners. It‘s been difficult!! I‘m not really surprised it‘s close. The long list had so many interesting titles. 1w

CSeydel Maybe we could have a second round of voting? I‘m betting a lot of books got only one vote 😅 1w

BkClubCare @CSeydel - I would vote for a round 2 vote if we need to narrow down - but I also don‘t want to make more work for our camp leaders. ❤️ 1w

JenReadsAlot Can we add another book and camp in September too?! 1w

squirrelbrain @Leniverse @CSeydel @BkClubCare - it‘s never been a problem before, somehow! There have been plenty of draws, of course, certainly lower down but even within the top 6. Just not where it mattered - places 5 / 6 / 7. We‘ll cross that bridge if / when we come to it this year. 1w

squirrelbrain We should camp all year round! @JenReadsAlot - the sun is always shining *somewhere* in the world! 😜 1w

Chelsea.Poole I have a few guesses for the top picks I‘m TILTing towards… 1w

Kitta @squirrelbrain how do you determine the order of the books once you have the top 6? I always feel there‘s a flow or connections between them and am impressed. Is this intentional? (edited) 1w

squirrelbrain @Chelsea.Poole LOL! 🤐 1w

squirrelbrain @Kitta - that‘s very kind of you to say! We do try to link the books together somehow. It depends on who is hosting which month, and we try to host at least one book each that we haven‘t read before so it can take a bit of working out! @Megabooks @BarbaraBB 1w

Daisey Thanks for the reminder! Last year was the first time I participated, and I wasn‘t sure I would vote this year. There were enough books I had seen mentioned that I voted for those without more research. So curious to see the choices! 6d
