katedensen @snem125 Haha that's not a picture of you, is it? When I finish my current book, I'll probably be caught reading it there too! 8y

snem125 Ha! Nope not me @katedensen but I do wear a lot of black. I've found myself in conversation with three different strangers about this book. If that was the desired intention of the One Book, One New York campaign, consider it achieved! Enjoy and happy reading. 8y

katedensen @snem125 I mean, I wear a lot of black too. One Book, One New York, One Clothing Color Preference? 8y

The Underground Railroad: A Novel | Colson Whitehead

I'm taking this reading slump by the horns and showing it who's boss. By finding this super cute bookshelf printable and prioritizing my #tbr list. What titles should I start with once I finish my current read?

#TBRTuesday

Suzze I am currently reading Lincoln in the Bardo and it is amazing! So many great titles there. (edited) 8y

Suzze Oh, and A Gentleman in Moscow. Flippin' fantastic. 8y

KarenUK Ease in gently with some

KarenUK And this one is an all time fave

The Secret History

manifestsanity Reading The Nix right now. It's pretty damn awesome. 8y

cariashley Sooo many great titles here, especially the top shelf! I would go for Lincoln in the Bardo or Into the Woods if you want to get out of a slump! 8y

emilyhaldi I'm with @KarenUK - The Secret History is in my top 3 favorite books! But you have some good, shorter BOTM choices in there too that might be helpful for getting out of a rut! 8y

2BR02B The Unbearable Lightness and Americanah are two all-time faves, and Marlena is one of the best I've read this year. But really, there's so much good stuff here it would be difficult to make a wrong choice. 8y

moranadatter Giant Days is always a good idea. If you're up for a buddy read, The Secret History is one I'd like to read soon. 8y

katedensen @Suzze Thanks! I can't believe I haven't been able to read LITB yet. Or AGIM, which was my BOTM pick...I don't know how many months ago. @KarenUK Great idea re: easing in gently! @emilyhaldi The Secret History is one of those books I can't believe I haven't read yet. @manifestsanity "Pretty damn awesome" is a pretty damn good endorsement. @cariashley In the Woods has been on my TBR forever--maybe time to finally tackle it! (edited) 8y

katedensen @2BR02B I can't believe I'm almost 30 and haven't read The Unbearable Lightness yet. Definitely on my to-do list before actually turning 30. Americanah won #onebookNY, so it's also high up there. As is Marlena, which I've read great things about. @moranadatter You changed your username! I will always be thankful that you turned me on to Giant Days. And yes, let's talk re: a buddy read of The Secret History! 8y

Reviewsbylola In the Woods would be the best choice to tackle a slump imo! 8y

katedensen @Reviewsbylola Thanks! It's high on the list. 8y

moranadatter @katedensen Yep. The short version of the story is I've been trying to get the same name across platforms and the one I had was too similar to someone else's name or taken. When do you want to start? May? 8y

katedensen @moranadatter I hear ya. Should I be following you on other platforms? Am I already? (Read: I want to!) May sounds good! 8y

moranadatter Are you on Goodreads? That's probably a better place to chat about a buddy read. http://www.goodreads.com/moranadatter Pinterest was the problem platform in terms of a name, but there's nothing public there yet. Eventually, I'll have more on LibraryThing and my blog. 8y

katedensen @moranadatter Just added you on Goodreads :) 8y
