#TBRStartofanEra - Revolution Read

#TheBookwormRevolution

According to Storygraph, this is my third time reading this book (and it may actually be my fourth), and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time I read it. It is a strange, beautifully poetic, confounding at times read that sticks with you. ⬇️

Nelnjali There is beauty to be found in not trying to understand everything and just settling into the poetry of the world and romance these authors have created. This book is unlike anything I've read and has been a joy each time I've picked it up. 17h

Dear Scholar Clel,

Instead of reading further, I hope you will return this letter to its envelope or, better yet, crumple it into an abstract shape that might look quite at home on a coral reef.

I don‘t remember the last time I fell so quickly in love with a book. This had my heart after only a few chapters. I loved the characters and the variety of experiences and growth they depict in their letters. Watching them explore new recipes and flavors made my mouth water. Even though I saw many things coming, it didn‘t take away from my emotional connections with our lovely ladies.

kspenmoll I loved this too! 4d
Texreader This looks like such a good book 4d

Dangerous Liaisons | Choderlos De Laclos

If you‘re into sexual power games and revealing the seedy under-belly of the upper crust, you should probably read Dangerous Liaisons – maybe just check out a few Wikipedia pages on pre-Revolution French nobility, if you‘re not already familiar ahead of time. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/dangerous-liaisons-pierre-choderlos-de-lacl...

TheBookHippie I read this when I was 15 - quite scandalous! When my daughter was a young teen and cruel intentions came out I was like HEY! 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️😅No you can‘t watch that 🫣 love your review! 6d

This was a quick read that I read in one sitting. A cute little romance to kick off the year. #4of2025

Reading this for the third or fourth time. I just love it so much and notice something new every time I read it. It is one of #TBRTheBookworkRevolution's Revolution Reads for the month, so I had to read it again!

SpeculativeFemale I really need to get a copy of that one! 7d

Bicycle, gravcycle, what's the difference? (“Bicycle“ is also in the author bio, so it's not even cheating).

I had several 5 star reads for November, including The Talk by Darrin Bell and Escape from St. Hell by Lewis Hancock (both graphic memoirs.) I picked this because it's such a .... me kind of book.

My first read every year is this slim epistolary collection between friends. I love viewing the progression of the friendship, and the ending gets me every time.

#SebastianKitty is kindly modeling the book for me. #CatsOfLitsy
