#CampToB22 #summercampsuggestions

I've read several great 2022 releases already that I'd love to see in the ToB, but these six are ones I am looking forward to reading. Most are upcoming releases that cover the wide range of genres/subjects I enjoy reading.

Chelsea.Poole I nearly added Nightcrawling and Rogues to my list! 😊 2y
Addison_Reads @Chelsea.Poole there were two on your list I had written down as well, Elsewhere and Here Goes Nothing. Great minds think alike. 😉 2y

Chelsea.Poole lol indeed! Did you read this one? 2y
Addison_Reads @Chelsea.Poole Yes, I enjoyed Saint X a lot unlike many other readers. 2y
squirrelbrain I nearly added Nightcrawling to my list too, as I have a #netgalley ARC! @Chelsea.Poole Oh, and I also enjoyed Saint X. 2y
BarbaraBB I am screenshotting again! I am so delighted about all suggestions!
2y
Cinfhen Ohhhh, 5 new to me titles!!!! Need to go check them out and I loved Saint X- the audio was fabulous 2y
Chelsea.Poole @Addison_Reads me too!! I do remember seeing lots of “meh” about Saint X but it‘s stayed with me since reading it. @squirrelbrain @cinfhen guess we are united in our thumbs up for Saint X. That‘s why Elsewhere made my list, plus the description! 2y
vivastory If I had included NF, Rogues would have been on my list. I was completely unaware of the Heltzel & I think it sounds great. The tob has definitely blurred genre boundaries the past few years with nominees like My Sister the Serial Killer and Echo Wife, so it'd be great to see a horror/thriller on a summer list. 2y
Ruthiella Fantastic list! Every single title is new to me! What I love about the TOB and this adjacent Litsy thread is the discovery of new to me books and authors! 2y
Cinfhen Same @Ruthiella 🤩💜 2y
thebluestocking I love this! I haven‘t heard of any of them, but I‘m going to check them out. 💙 2y
kwmg40 I loved Riot Baby and hadn't realized there's a new book by Tochi Onyebuchi. I look forward to reading this one. 2y
Addison_Reads @kwmg40 I loved Riot Baby too. I've been waiting on my local library to get Goliath but I might give in and buy it for myself. 😁 2y

I enjoyed last year's #CampTOB so I'm hoping to be able to join in this year. These are my #summercampsuggestions for #CampTOB2022 based on titles that I've been dying to read for awhile now and some new ones that came to my attention from PW.

@BarbaraBB

Cathythoughts These all look interesting 👍🏻♥️ 2y
thebluestocking Nice list!! 💙 2y
rockpools …and beautifully colour-coordinated as well! 🌸 2y

vivastory Moshfegh 👏🤘 2y
Ruthiella @rockpools Yes! Totally impressed by the color coordination. 👍 Now if only someone would give me $$$ so I can quit working and read all day. 😂 2y
squirrelbrain Some really interesting-sounding choices there… ! 2y
BarbaraBB Oh no, I really want to read all six of these. And I‘m so happy with a new Moshfegh! 2y
merelybookish Wow, I'm so intrigued! All new to me save one. Also, I think you win best collection of titles! 2y
Megabooks So excited for the moshfegh! 2y
batsy @Cathythoughts @thebluestocking @squirrelbrain Nothing like nurturing and growing that TBR 😆 2y
batsy @rockpools I was quite surprised at how these covers complemented each other 😁 @Ruthiella Now that's living the dream! 2y
batsy @merelybookish Aww thanks! 😆 2y
batsy @vivastory @BarbaraBB @Megabooks The Moshfegh sounds so dark and weird and good! 2y

Here are my #summercampsuggestions for #CampTOB22 I used a combo of my mental TBR, fellow Littens' posts & a quick browse of Lit Hub's '22 most anticipated guide, A quick caveat: I did not post any books that I would like to see on the end of the yr TOB. None of the 3 big April releases (Stuart, Mandel, Egan), the recent Batuman or the forthcoming Mosfegh. I wouldn't be upset if the ones I posted made it onto the regular TOB & they're still TBR.

Cinfhen Nice choices!! I‘m just adding more books to my TBR 2y
vivastory @Cinfhen Same here! I noticed the following on multiple lists, including yours. Moving to the top of my TBR 2y

Ruthiella We have some overlap! I also considered picking Darnielle...but I‘ve not read him yet and kinda want to start with 2y
vivastory @Ruthiella Great minds! I hope to read How High etc in the next couple of weeks. Wolf in White Van is my favorite of the two that I have read. 2y
BarbaraBB Such clever thoughts in putting together this list. I am so interested in the Chaon and I didn‘t know about an new Moshfegh 💝💝💝 2y
vivastory @BarbaraBB Thanks! The new Chaon sounds really interesting, as does the new Moshfegh which will be a bit of a departure as it's set during medieval times. 2y
BarbaraBB Moshfegh in medieval times? That makes me think of Groff - which is not definitely a good thing. 2y
vivastory @BarbaraBB I'm hoping it will be characters similar to her previous books, only in a different setting 🤞 2y
rockpools I‘m interested in the Zambra novel - didn‘t know that existed. I‘ve only read his short stories, but really liked them, so high hopes! 2y
vivastory @rockpools I have high hopes! I loved 2y
rockpools @vivastory Wow. I‘ll try that - it sounds like nothing else! 2y
merelybookish Wow, these are great. I am curious about Chilean Poet and anything close to Matrix and I'm sold! 😀 2y
vivastory @merelybookish I just keep imagining a Moshfegh character in that world 2y
merelybookish @vivastory I've only read My Year of Rest & Relaxation so imagine the nun who just doesn't nothing. The anti-Marie. 2y
vivastory @merelybookish Right?! "Why bother? The world is trash anyways. We're born to suffer & die." ? 2y
sarahbarnes Great list! I‘m adding Chilean Poet to my list. And I really want to read how high we go. And a new Moshfegh - I missed that! Thank you! 2y
Megabooks Great list! I‘d like to see the Darnielle there. 2y
BarbaraBB Multiple Choice sounds great! 2y

RidgewayGirl I also suggested Either/Or. 2y
sarahbarnes Yes! I am on the list for Either/Or at the library and am excited for pure color, too! 2y
merelybookish @RidgewayGirl I would think it and Candy House both have a good chance for making it. 2y

merelybookish @sarahbarnes I pre-ordered a copy back in the fall. 🙈 2y
thebluestocking Ooh. I want to read Either/Or! This looks like a great list! 2y
sarahbarnes Good for you! And this is such a good list - I‘m adding some of these to my TBR! 2y
vivastory Great list! 2y
batsy Great list! I'm so keen to read Disorientation and Pure Colour. I also want to read Either/Or but after getting to The Idiot... 2y
Cinfhen I‘m loving all these potential reads and I‘m certainly adding to my TBR 🤓 2y
Ruthiella Great list. 👍 OMG, how could I overlook the Batuman book! I LOVED 2y
Hooked_on_books I loved Disorientation and am excited for Either/Or! 2y
BarbaraBB Such a great list. I want to read all of them now! 2y
merelybookish @thebluestocking @vivastory @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB Thanks! Nothing's more fun than making a book list! 😀 2y
merelybookish @batsy Yes to reading the Idiot! but I wonder if Either/Or will stand on its own. Either way, love Batuman! 2y
merelybookish @Ruthiella I adored The Idiot as well. Tempted to re-read it! 2y
merelybookish @Hooked_on_books I saw your review of Disorientation! I had it on my list but your review convinced me. 2y
Megabooks Disorientation would be a great choice. I‘m excited about Either/Or as well. 2y

#CampTOB22 #SummerCampSuggestions2022

I‘ve read one but I think it‘ll make for good discussion - the others I‘m curious about and I might have an #ARC or two 😉

I‘m curious to see what the final list will look like 🤩

Thanks for encouraging us to post our ideas @BarbaraBB #CampDirectorExtraordinaire xxx

BarbaraBB Haha that hashtag ⬆️😘. I have to check out the 4 books I don‘t know! Of course I have your first one on my list as well and I was thinking of suggesting this one too since @britt_brooke reviewed it 2y
Cinfhen I have an ARC for that one ( Zevin) & the Brooks @BarbaraBB so I‘m hoping they‘ll both be chosen (edited) 2y
Cinfhen And I requested this one because the title drew me in….and he‘s a debut author 2y
See All 13 Comments
squirrelbrain I‘ve only heard of one of these (the first one). I‘ll go check out the rest…. 2y
Ruthiella I‘ve not heard of ANY of these and only know one of the authors (Brooks). I would be totally OK with these were they selected for Summer Camp! 👍 I rely on the TOB to introduce me to new stuff. 2y
Cinfhen I hope you guys will share your #SummerCampSuggestions too @squirrelbrain @Ruthiella I‘m looking forward to #CamppToB22 2y
rockpools Ooh, there are some good looking books there! 2y
britt_brooke @BarbaraBB It‘s SO good. 💚 2y
Cinfhen Thanks @rockpools looks like we‘re in for some good summer reading 😘 2y
merelybookish More amazing books! 🤯 And I think Brooks would be a fun one to add to the TOB. I always enjoy her novels but tend to forget about how good she is. 2y
Megabooks What we do is on my TBR! Great list! 😘😘 2y
Cinfhen One of my favorite books is still this one @merelybookish 2y
Cinfhen I know!!!! SO MANY good books @Megabooks and I‘m pretty sure your library will have them all!!!!! 2y

…. Continuing my last post: these books I suggested for #CampToB22. Please share your 6 #MostAnticipatedBooks!

I had to include one thriller although I know that‘s not really ToB‘ish 🤷🏻‍♀️😉

To reach the real ToB people, here is the form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfM6VOvtv_dy9-7v6GFk0ccZFrPnJG-vcnWHVaJ...

Cinfhen 🥰😘 2y
squirrelbrain I‘m still thinking about mine….! 🤔 2y
squirrelbrain I agree @Cinfhen - I too want to read The Swimmers. 2y
Ruthiella Great list! I‘d gladly read these six for Summer Camp. 👍 2y
BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain @Ruthiella You‘ll come up with books I‘m sure I‘d want to read! 2y
Hooked_on_books I‘ve read The School for Good Mothers along with the bottom three and I think they‘d all be good choices for CampTOB! 2y
rockpools I‘m just going to work my way through this hashtag stacking things. So many I haven‘t heard of! 2y
BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books I probably was inspired by your reviews! 2y
Chelsea.Poole Great list! I hadn‘t heard of the Tessa Hadley. And yes to this one — excited about it this summer. (edited) 2y
merelybookish Great picks! I already have The Swimmers & Free Love stacked. 👍 Now to add more! 2y
BkClubCare 👏👏👏 2y
thebluestocking Lovely list! I want to read several of these too (well, now all of them because I trust your taste)! 💙 2y
sarahbarnes The Swimmers is on my list as well! And I am going to be adding some of these to my TBR now, too! 2y
Adventures-of-a-French-Reader I've read Don't Cry For Me, it's an excellent book. Hope you'll enjoy it! 2y
BarbaraBB @Chelsea.Poole That‘s one that @Cinfhen has been raving about and that can lead to a great discussion. I really want to read it! 2y
BarbaraBB @thebluestocking I hope they are as good as I expect 😀 2y
BarbaraBB @Adventures-of-a-French-Reader Thanks! It sounds so good! 2y
Sophronisba This looks like a great list! I would love to talk about Free Love with the commentariat. 2y
Megabooks I think The Seimmers has a good chance but I‘m excited for the Emezi too! 2y
