Reading America: Essays on American Literature | Denis Donoghue

I‘m a little behind the pace for #ReadingTheAmericas and what else is new! But that‘s okay. I may or may not include all the dependencies, which makes the number a little more manageable…

I think I do need to pivot to South America next so there‘s more red on the map. 🤣

I‘m still working on finding books for some of countries. I‘ve found two for Paraguay, and I‘m going to turn it over to the Litsyverse in the comments to help me decide.

Librarybelle, BarbaraBB

Susanita Choice 1

Travels with My Aunt

Susanita Choice 2

The News from Paraguay: A Novel

Librarybelle I‘d vote for Travels with My Aunt! 1y

BarbaraBB I don‘t know either of them but I did like the book I read for Paraguay:

H(a)ppy

azulaco I have The News from Paraguay on my #readingamericas list too. It sounds interesting. I just realized that it‘s based on the true life of Eliza Lynch, who was de facto First Lady of Paraguay during the Paraguayan War. Now I want to read her biography too. 1y

Weekly Forecast | Thomas Gibson Inc

My last #WeeklyForecast for 2022😅Thanks to everyone who joined me this year sharing their #BookReports & forecasts❣️I loved seeing what you were reading & which books were leaving an impact. Looking forward to continuing our reading journey in 2023🙌🏻🤗Villa & Exiles are #ARCs publishing 1/3 so one will definitely be my #LastFirst2223 as each work for 2023 challenges, Attenberg because @britt_brooke loved it and Mustique for #ReadingAmericas ❤️

Librarybelle, BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB Which island is referred to in Mustique? and I've enjoyed the reports and forecasts a lot 🤍 2y

Librariana I *love* your reports and forecasts and in 2023, I want to make a genuine effort to participate in them more regularly and CONSISTENTLY (I'm yelling at myself as I type that, btw!) I feel a bit of regret as I watch from the sidelines when I KNOW I have all the power in the world to be a more active part of the fun. So here's to better #readingresolutions in the new year! 🥳🍾🥂💜📚 2y

squirrelbrain I love joining in the weekly reports and forecasts! Thank for being such an amazing host Cindy! 😘 2y

vivastory I would definitely join in with the weekly forecasts if I wasn't such a mood reader. Think I'll aim for the book report. I thought about your music posts recently 🎶 2y

Cinfhen @BarbaraBB #StVincentAndTheGrenadines and I‘ve loved seeing your posts each & every week xxx Hope you‘re enjoying your Christmas Day 😘 2y

Cinfhen @Librariana I‘m always so glad when I see your beautiful avatar in my conversations box😁No pressure, swing by whenever you can - Merry Christmas 💚❤️💚 2y

Cinfhen @vivastory I TOTALLY get it! 9/10 times I NEVER read what I forecast 😂😂Happy Holidays 🎶🥂 2y

Cinfhen @squirrelbrain and thanks for being an amazing friend xxx LOVE to the fam - Merry Christmas, Helen 😘 2y

Librarybelle Thanks so much for hosting these weekly checkins! It‘s always fun to see what you are reading and enjoying! 2y

britt_brooke Curious to hear what you think! 🤍Reviews seem to be pretty mixed. 2y

Cinfhen It‘s good so far @britt_brooke but it‘s not blowing me away. It‘s a bit bland and I feel like I need MORE 2y

Cinfhen Thanks @Librarybelle I really enjoy chatting with everyone on Litsy 🫶🏼 (edited) 2y

TrishB I‘ve loved these! May not get to one today but great they‘re carrying on next year ❤️❤️ 2y

Cinfhen Thanks for playing so “religiously” @TrishB - looking forward to sharing more titles in 2023 2y

britt_brooke @Cinfhen That‘s fair. It‘s pretty specific to her journey to becoming a writer so some stuff feels left out. How do you like the style? I like the stream-of-consciousness feel, but I know it has turned some readers off. 2y

Cinfhen I don‘t mind the style - I actually prefer it since I‘m listening on audio and it feels more organic @britt_brooke 2y

Bookzombie I love all the book reports and forecasts. Hopefully, I will be consistent next year. 😀 Happy Hanukkah! 💗💗 2y

Cinfhen Yay @Bookzombie i know sometimes life gets in the way 😆 Merry Christmas ❤️💚Hope you‘re having a lovely holiday weekend 2y

britt_brooke @Cinfhen I did audio as well and agree. Not sure if I‘d felt the same way with print. (edited) 2y

An Uninterrupted View of the Sky | Melanie Crowder

pick

HEARTBREAKING 💔 This book is beyond sad because it‘s based on true accounts. #Bolivia 1999, Francisco 17 & his sister Pilar, 12 are forced to live inside a men‘s prison when their dad is falsely incarcerated & can‘t afford to pay his way out. Their daily life & struggles are harrowing. #ReadingAmericas #TriplePlay #Booked2023 #MountainRegion #FalselyImprisoned #52BookClub #AboutSiblings #SurvivalStory
