Fun quiz! Are we the only yellow readers? @MemoirsForMe

Ruthiella I guessed Yellow for a non-Litsy friend because she‘s a very empathetic and heart over head kind of person and she got Blue! 🤔😂 I think we‘re all a little of each category. 1w

MemoirsForMe I guess we‘re the only ones who wear our hearts on our sleeves. Or maybe Bear fans gotta have heart. 😁😁😁 1w

Lesliereadsalot Agreed! @Ruthiella 1w

The New Rooster | Rilla Alexander

Way too soon to my taste the #ToB25 shortlist has been published!

I am a bit disappointed by the predictability of the chosen books. Many are quite popular and well known, many are too “light” to my taste. And I‘ve read almost all of them, while I hoped for some obscure ones.

Never mind, it‘s TOB so it will be fun!

BkClubCare, Megabooks, Hooked_on_books, Suet624, Bookwormjillk, Chelsea.Poole, squirrelbrain, Ruthiella, sarahbarnes

Bookwormjillk I was thinking the same. I am not supposed to have read any of these 😂 5mo

BarbaraBB @Bookwormjillk Exactly that! 5mo

sarahbarnes Why do they publish it so soon?!! And agreed - I want the shortlist to be more obscure. Oh well, I guess we still have the long list! 📚 5mo

BkClubCare Thanks for the 🏷️ 🌟 💖 📚 5mo

squirrelbrain Yes, I agree with everyone else. A. It‘s too soon. B. I wanted it to be different books, not the ones that are everywhere already. @Bookwormjillk @sarahbarnes @BkClubCare 5mo

Hooked_on_books I‘m disappointed at the inclusion of All Fours since it was one of their camp books and I hated it. There‘s still a few left for me to read (though I likely won‘t bother with the Link), but yes, I‘ve already read most. 5mo

Megabooks Yeah, I‘ve already read most of these. Like @Hooked_on_books I won‘t bother with the Link. I tried when it came out and HATED the first several pages. Every other one I‘ll try to read or have read. Too bad wolf at the table didn‘t make it — I‘m really enjoying it!!! (edited) 5mo

Megabooks It is too soon. I agree. I‘m still enjoying the longlist!! 5mo

BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books I don‘t feel like discussing All Fours (or James for that matter) again, they already feel old! 5mo

BarbaraBB @Megabooks Me too, I have a lot I still want to read. And that includes George now, I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️😉 5mo

Chelsea.Poole I agree, I had two more coming up for the longlist to read that didn‘t make the cut. Current read is Godwin and wanted to get to My Friends. 5mo

Megabooks @Chelsea.Poole My Friends is on my definitely want to read list, too! 4mo

Megabooks @ImperfectCJ had a whole different take on George than I did! Hopefully you‘ll love it. 4mo

BarbaraBB @Chelsea.Poole Is Godwin good? 4mo

BarbaraBB @Megabooks I hope so too. My Friends is very good! 4mo

BkClubCare Well, I for one, am glad the Creation Lake and Wandering Stars is off the table. Sad about a few I was looking forward to, but many of these are still new to me. (Tho, am in total agreement that James feels old and everywhere! And I won‘t retry All Fours) 4mo

Suet624 I‘m just happy The History of Sound made it on the shortlist. I guess I‘m in the minority because for once, I‘m happy that I‘ve read so many of them. That means I don‘t have to go running all over creation trying to find the obscure books. Maybe they‘re trying to be more main stream this year? 4mo

BarbaraBB @Suet624 I am reading that one right now and am enjoying it very much! As expected! 4mo

Larkken Lol. Only one out of my current top three from the longlist 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4mo

Larkken @Suet624 lol, it is nice knowing I have a chance to find and read them all before judging time for sure 4mo

Larkken It looks like they picked books off of existing best of lists tbh. 4mo

BarbaraBB @Larkken I agree, it seems a collection of the best of lists unfortunately! Which ones are your top three? 4mo

Larkken @BarbaraBB I've resonated most with You Dreamed of Empires, Glorious Exploits, and James ( but that last feels obvious! Lol). I wonder if my top three will change as I finish the short list? 4mo

BarbaraBB @Larkken Interesting! I have read only James of those. Will check out both others! 4mo

A gaggle of geese: the collective names of the animal kingdom | Philippa-Alys Browne

pick

Bought this book today at my library book sale, just read it, and I just LOVE it. Perfect gift for one of my friend's kid!
Why?
Love the illustration style
Fun way to learn about the collective names of animals. As a non-native English speaker, I learned a lot (I'm sure other adult native speakers would learn a lot too).
At the end of the book, there are short explanations of the origins of these collective names
