Haroun and the Sea of Stories | Salman Rushdie

I‘ve wanted to read Salman Rushdie for a while and I‘ve been told that the tagged book is a good place to start with this author. It‘s not the only one from him on my shelf though.

coffees I stopped keeping a long term TBR so I can't think of anyone...🤔 Lol! 2d

TheBookHippie This one was my first by him. I‘ve now read it all. Some I love some it depended when I read it.

Midnight's Children

Sace @coffees I try not to do a long term TBR either. More month by month. 2d

Sace @TheBookHippie oh that one is on my shelf too! 2d

dabbe I adored this book. 💙 2d

Sace @dabbe glad to hear! Rushdie is an author who intimidates me. 2d

dabbe @Sace Me, too. That's why I read this one of #authoramonth. I can't wait to read what you think about it. 2d

BookmarkTavern Oh I‘ve had Rushdie on my list for a while too! Thanks for posting! 2d

Goodnight, Nebraska | Tom McNeal

Years ago I saw the tagged book had won a Michener award, the subject of farms always interested me . I spent time on my grandparents farm , found another title by him at a library sale, got that too . Maybe this is the month I try him! 😄 #SundayFunday

Verity | Colleen Hoover

I‘ve never had Colleen Hoover on my written TBR but have been interested in what all the hype is about. So, I borrowed the tagged from my friend‘s LFL & will try to read it this year. #sundayfunday @BookmarkTavern

BookmarkTavern I‘ve heard good things about this one! Thanks for answering! 4d

5feet.of.fury This is the only book I‘ve read from her, it‘s totally nuts 4d

Fourth Wing | Rebecca Yarros

#SundayFunday
Rebecca Yarros. I bought Fourth Wing almost a year ago and it's been sitting on a bookshelf ever since. I really do need to read this series and see if it's as good as everyone says.
@BookmarkTavern

BookmarkTavern I‘ve seen a lot of hype for this one! Thanks for sharing! 4d

Lolita | Vladimir Nabokov

#SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern

Have had this on my TBR close to forever. K know about the hype, but Is it still worth reading, anyone? 🤔

JenReadsAlot I read it recently and didn't like it. 4d

monalyisha Oof. This is one I‘m glad I read in a classroom setting. Part of its whole being is that the language is insidiously gorgeous and lush while the topic is so base, disgusting, and unforgivable. You become culpable by reading. 4d

dabbe @monalyisha @JenReadsALot So good to know! Thank you! I think I need to say, “So long, Lolita!“ 😂 4d

monalyisha @dabbe It‘s a beautiful and terrible book. Rife for study and so hard. 4d

Ruthiella It made me very angry. 4d

DrSabrinaMoldenReads I consider it a book that I liked but did not want to like. Weird. So sad to say though, in my psychologist‘s voice, this is a true story for many. Predators are real. (edited) 4d

Susanita I bailed pretty early but your mileage may vary! 4d

shortsarahrose It‘s been over a decade since I‘ve read it, but I‘d agree with the assessment from @monalyisha 4d

dabbe @Ruthiella @DrSabrinaMoldenReads @Susanita @shortsarahrose Thanks, everyone! I think I will give Vladimir the boot on this one. There are just too many other good books out there, right? I appreciate and am following your opinions! 😍 4d

DrSabrinaMoldenReads I agree to move on 4d

Scochrane26 I read it and remember it being ok, but I don‘t think it‘s a necessary read. I remember getting bored with the predator‘s thoughts. 4d

BookmarkTavern I definitely agree it‘s an okay book to skip. Knowing its cultural impact is more than enough. Thanks for posting! 4d

Darker Shade of Magic | V E Schwab

#SundayFunDay @BookmarkTavern

I see Schwab's name everywhere, so when I saw The Fragile Threads of Power was available on Litsy last night, I grabbed it. I realized by chapter 3 that it's reading like a series. Did a little digging, paused Fragile Threads, and started A Darker Shade this morning.

InkedBookworm13 Schwab is one of my all time fave authors. I have loved everything I've read so far ❤️ 4d

BookmarkTavern I really enjoyed Darker Shade! I need to get back to this series! Thanks for posting! 4d
