Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot: The Great Mistake of Scottish Independence | John Lloyd

#AuldLangSpine2025 @monalyisha
@JamieArc thanks for creating this excellent list! I haven't read any of these. It looks like we both exchanged Percival Everett picks - I'm excited to read James based on the buzz it's been getting. I have some ideas about which I'll choose - definitely North Woods and Tom Lake. I've never read Due, but I just bought The Between last month. Also intrigued by #s 9 and 10. Can't wait to get started in 2025!

squirrelbrain What a great list! ❤️ 2w

monalyisha I‘m desperately hoping to read 10 with my IRL book club this coming year. We‘re in the process of voting on books right now, so fingers crossed! 🤞🏻 2w

Billypar @monalyisha I never even heard of it until now, but it sounds like it's getting a lot of positive attention! 2w

JamieArc @monalyisha @Billypar The Safekeep is a fairly short read, if that helps you get to it 😊 2w

BkClubCare Oh. Just got to the last section of The Safekeep 😳😳😳😳 2w

Billypar @JamieArc My attention span and reading speed are both not great, so short is definitely a selling point. And I'm intrigued by @BkClubCare 's reaction to the end 😀 2w

BkClubCare @Billypar - I am listening and honestly it doesn‘t feel like a short book. I am not done yet - but yeah, this last section was not expected (also, I try never to read blurbs and didn‘t know anything about the plot) 2w

Yield Under Great Persuasion | Alexandra Rowland

This is me being SUPER EXCITED to dive into @peanutnine ‘s #AuldLangSpine list. I‘ve already read and loved #s 1, 3, 6, 8, and 11, and I‘ve either requested the others or added them to my library list, depending on their current availability. Alas, my library doesn‘t own #s 12, 17, or 20, so I‘ve wishlisted them on Kobo in the hope of Boxing Day sales.

willaful Oooo, great list! 2w

xicanti @willaful right? 2w

MeganAnn This looks like a fantastic list! I‘ve only read Gideon the Ninth but so many of these are on my TBR. 2w

peanutnine I'm glad you're excited! We have such similar tastes, I love it! We had two of the same picks on our list 😆 Hopefully you can find some deals, especially for Yield - since you've read and loved Rowland's other works I think you'll be sure to enjoy it 2w

xicanti @peanutnine I‘ve got my fingers crossed. 2w

xicanti @MeganAnn I think it‘s gonna be epic. 2w

#LitSolaceFallCardSwap

I am bereft. As you can see from the pic, I sent my cards out TWO WEEKS AGO! So far, no one has received one. I don't have tracking #s, so I can't call the USPS. I even paid extra postage! 😭

@DebinHawaii, @StolenBookmobile, @BarkingMadRead, @Cuilin, @kspenmoll, @Deblovestoread, @Bookwormjillk, @Princess-Kingofkings, @SaraRuthie, @Kar2b, @KadaGul, @JessieKB, @WildAlaskaBibliophile

KadaGul @dabbe I know the mail has been delayed due to thunderstorms in the south. Give it some extra time, and don't lose hope. For the longest time, my mail was delivered in bulk until I complained. I see the mailman come through our neighborhood, so why is my mail held hostage? (edited) 3mo

BarkingMadRead I got yours today!!!! 3mo

Kar2b Hi Denise! I just got a card from you, but it was ListyLove not Litsolace, unless they‘re one and the same, which is okay too! 🥰 3mo

See All 24 Comments

Bookwormjillk I think for me it might be a my mail issue more than anything you did. Our regular carrier retired and since then we only get deliveries every few days. I‘m sure they‘ll arrive eventually. 3mo

Deblovestoread So frustrating but it will be a ray of sunshine when it arrives. 3mo

Librarybelle I just keep thinking of the regular mail that took me 2 years to receive—I think that speaks volumes of the USPS. Hope they arrive soon! 3mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead YAY! 🤩😅🤗 3mo

dabbe @KadaGul Good to know! Thanks! 🤩😅🤗 3mo

slategreyskies Denise, I received mine from you! I know our opening date was the 22nd, but I plan on opening the entire stack after the mail comes tomorrow to allow for the most amount of chance that the few latecomers will arrive. The one from you arrived in good shape and has been exciting me due to its thickness. I‘ll tag you tomorrow once I‘ve opened the stack! 🍁 🎃 🌻✨ 3mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk 🤩🤞🏻🤗 3mo

dabbe @Deblovestoread It is, especially when I mailed them two weeks ago to be sure they\'d arrive in time! 🤩😅🤗 3mo

dabbe @Librarybelle They definitely march to their own drummer, don\'t they? 🤩😅🤗 3mo

dabbe @Kar2b I did write you a #LitsyLove letter back on 9/9. The Litsolace should had a little journal in it. There should be two different ones. 🧡🍁🧡 3mo

dabbe @slategreyskies YAY! 🤩😅🤗 3mo

DebinHawaii Hi Denise, I got your #LitsyLove card on Tuesday last week. (Thank you!) I\'m sure the other one will arrive soon! 🍎🌻 3mo

dabbe @DebinHawaii 🧡🤞🏻🧡 3mo

JessieKB I got yours today!!!! There are still a couple I haven‘t received (mine were late too) so I was waiting to open. Thank you!!!!🧡🧡🧡 (edited) 3mo

dabbe @JessieKB YAY! 🤩🤗🤩 3mo

Bookwormjillk Got mine today! 3mo

StolenBookmobile I got yours!!! I just haven‘t posted. Lots of life events going on 3mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk YAY! 🤩🤗🤩 3mo

dabbe @StolenBookmobile YAY! 🤩🤗🤩 3mo

Cuilin I got your card 🎉 3mo

dabbe YAY! I got yours yesterday, too! 🩶🧡🩶 3mo

I didn't know I could've gotten the #s for this yesterday. I haven't been paying attention, lately but I've been a little busy with the grandkids.

Here is how my board is shaping up to be. All my books for this month for Halloween Bingo (which I play with a group of former peeps from booklikes) and I've already finished the first square. We Used To Live Here and it has all the Halloween creepy vibes you could ever want.

@TheAromaofBooks

guinsgirlreads I‘m interested to hear about how the Rachel Koller Croft is!

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Looks fantastic!! 4mo

Listverse. Com's Ultimate Book of Bizarre Lists: Fascinating Facts and Shocking Trivia on Movies, Music, Crime, Celebrities, History, and More | Jamie Frater

#top25of21st
I have feeling someone has already started a thread about this and I missed it, but with the NY Times recent list of 100 best books of this century, it seems like a good opportunity to try and figure out my own. So if anyone wants to join in, I'd love to see what your favorites are. I chose 25 instead of 100 and just novels since I have a hard time comparing nonfiction or story collections, but feel free to make your own rules!

Billypar Reddit thread with the NYT list (#s 3, 23, and 25 are on it): https://www.reddit.com/r/literature/comments/1e1h8cc/lets_talk_about_nyts_best_b... 5mo

LiteraryinPA Thanks for sharing your personal list! 5mo

Ruthiella I don‘t know if I could whittle it down? 😂 Ishiguro would be on it for sure, but I‘d pick “Never Let Me Go” and for Mitchell, “Cloud Atlas”. 5mo

See All 25 Comments

Suet624 There are so many that I like on this list but numbers 18 through 21 are my absolute favorites, especially Marra‘s book. I guess I would add Fresh Water for Flowers. 🙂 5mo

TheBookHippie Gah … okay I‘ll work on it!! I agree with your 14&25 5mo

TheBookHippie Oh 13 too! 5mo

BkClubCare Wow - I have 3 of these on my Aug bookspin bingo card 5mo

plemmdog I loved #10 and #19! 5mo

Billypar @Ruthiella Never Let Me Go is on my to be read shelf, so hopefully I'll get to that soon. I pulled about 35 initial candidates from my shelves, but whatever number you set, it always leads to tough choices. 5mo

Billypar @Suet624 I need to bump FWFF up on my TBR based on everything I've heard. And I'd like to read more from Marra based on how powerful Constellation was. 5mo

Billypar @TheBookHippie Chabon's Kavalier & Clay is on the NYT list and is also great, but I feel like Yiddish Policeman's Union gets overlooked among his novels. I still need to read the newest releases from Obreht and Ward. 5mo

Billypar @BkClubCare If it works out that you get Drive Your Plow... I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. One of the most unique murder mysteries I've read, and it's got some great dark humor. 5mo

Billypar @plemmdog The voices of the narrators in both of those novels are so distinctive, I can almost conjure them in my head now. I never wanted to put either one down while I was reading. 5mo

TheBookHippie @Billypar I agree!! 5mo

BkClubCare @Billypar - Looking forward to it; starting it next 🤩 5mo

BarbaraBB Great list. Did you choose them from The NY Times list? 5mo

Billypar @BarbaraBB No, I was just finding favorites from my shelf. There are three from NYT's - A Brief History 7 Killings, Bel Canto, and Sing, Unburied, Sing. It's got lots of good ones, but I've only read a little more than 1/3. 5mo

Reggie I love that you have Bunny and Fever Dream in there. 🖤🖤🖤 5mo

Billypar @Reggie If weirdness was like paint, I think my entire list has a thin coat, but those are two where it collected and pooled 😆🖤 5mo

vivastory Fantastic list! 👏 🤘 5mo

Christine This is a really great list!! 4mo

sarahbarnes So many great ones on here - and a few that are high up on my TBR. 4mo

Billypar @sarahbarnes I feel like nothing on my TBR gets read unless I see the book recommended multiple times, so I like how these lists help with prioritizing. 4mo

merelybookish Fabulous picks! I think Bunny would make mine as well. I think often my 'best' books become the ones I don't forgot. And I have not forgotten Bunny! 4mo

Billypar @merelybookish Yeah, that's a good standard to use. I'm pretty sure Bunny won't ever stop hopping around my brain! 4mo

CBee 80/100 😃 Faves: anything Motown, Johnny Cash, and two that make me dance no matter what: Groove is in the Heart and Dancing Queen 💃🏻 5mo

BkClubCare I got 50 but I only counted the ones that immediately sprang into my head with song and lyrics. I bet if I listened to them, I would have rated much higher. I am not very good at music knowledge 😕 (edited) 5mo

dabbe @BkClubCare I'm not, either. That's why I created the Spotify playlist. Each time I've played there have been at least 5-10 songs that I knew--I just didn't know them by song name. Thanks for sharing and playing. 🩶🎵🩶 5mo
