Knstlers in Paradise | Cathleen Schine
post image

My #ReadOrDonate choice for February is Kunstlers in Paradise, which has been calling out to me for a year or so now. This is the month!

What will everyone else be reading/donating?

All are welcome to join.

The link to the optional StoryGraph challenge is: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/efdc1ad1-dea0-414f-abeb-38ea1d0...

TheAromaofBooks I am trying to knock off some MG reads this month, since I know things are going to be a little crazy and they're fast!! 😂 I got this one spontaneously from Book Outlet a few years ago so it seems like it's time to actually read it - 2w
BarkingMadRead I‘ll be reading Pack Darling, it‘s one of my #probablysmut books. This year I‘m trying to read all of my leftover BOTM books plus some of the Smut books 🤣 2w
PuddleJumper The Son of Neptune will get read and donated. I've got someone who is waiting for me to read the white series so they can get it 🤣 I'd like to get another one off my shelf as well so I'm thinking Scapegracers 2w

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks I'm impressed you're planning any reads at all this month! 👍🤪🎉 2w
julieclair @BarkingMadRead I've heard of lots of different annual reading strategies, but BOTM and Smut is a new one! ??? Actually, in the book club I was in years ago, we always dubbed July "Smut Month". It was an annual tradition! 2w
julieclair @PuddleJumper Having someone waiting for you to finish books sounds like a powerful motivator! ⏳ 😉 2w
TheAromaofBooks Reading is more like an addiction than a hobby at this point in my life 😂 2w
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Right there with ya! 😂💙 2w
gossamerchild I'm still trying to get thru Cryptonomicon. I'm refusing to give up on this one, and it's a chunker, so it'll probably be a couple more months :-D 1w
julieclair @gossamerchild Good for you! Keep up the good work! 💪 7d
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I won an arc of this in a giveaway, so it‘s a read and pass on to the nieces or goes to the neighborhood little free library. 7d
julieclair @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage That one looks like it will be exciting and full of adventure! 3d

Mehso-so

⭐️⭐️ Having read a few of Didion‘s journalistic pieces, and the recent title “Didion & Babitz,” I wanted to try one from the latter. Oh, the pretension and ego! Lord. Grapes, baseball, married men, sex, drugs. 1960s California is one of my favorite things to read about, but this will not go down as a favorite. It‘s a one and done for me and Didion‘s frenemy.

AlaMich Grapes?? 1mo
AlaMich Oh duh!!🙄 1mo
britt_brooke @AlaMich 😆 But I did say it a little weird in the review! 1mo

Eve Babitz was a whole vibe and you can feel the way Anolik is drawn to her (first through Eve's writing but ultimately in a desperation to tell Eve's story). There's sex and celebrity here, sure, but there's also a great deal about how we make and live our art.

Tehrangeles: A Novel | Porochista Khakpour
post image
Pickpick

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Story of 4 teen daughters of a wealthy Iranian American entrepreneur who were supposed to star in a Kardashian style reality show that was delayed due to COVID. I was initially put off by a very silly opening where one daughter was trying to change her birthday in order to be a different astrological sign. It tended a little vapid, but it eventually got more substantive and interesting.
