Looking forward to #OutstandingOctober readathon! The weather has been fabulous the past 2 weeks in the Inland NW of USA so little time spent reading and little time w/ decent cell or internet. Need to catch up on #Scarathlon for #TeamBOOklovers! Need to read tagged—I‘m sucked in just 10 pages in! Want to finish Don‘t Fear the Reaper, Silver Nitrate and Beware the Woman. Weather is changing, time@for some cozy reading. @Andrew65
so-soI read this a month ago for book club and I keep forgetting to post about it! There were moments in which I connected with this but I felt the most interesting part of the novel was the “lacuna”, the part that was left out.
My least favorite of Kingsolver‘s that I‘ve read and doesn‘t hold a candle to Demon Copperhead. Frieda Kahlo is an interesting secondary character, and I did like the setting but I cannot recommend this one.
bailedI couldn‘t do it @Kshakal 😂 I kept trying to pick it back up, to get at least 35% in before bailing but I just had no interest in forcing myself through that. After doing a quick search online, I saw quite a few people felt this book was missing something and didn‘t feel as bad bailing. It just feels too disjointed and apathetic for me.
Welcome to the time of year where all my photos will be taken on my very messy balcony. My SO picked my next #blindbook and it‘s a reread of The Lacuna. I read this book about 4 years ago and just remember being confused for most of it. After reading the first 30 pages, I can see why. Going to try to be intentional with slow reading this time to try to cancel some of that
pickGot some (delayed) holiday mail! A lil Trotsky and a Georgia SRA patch 🖤 also, not pictured: a variety of sunflower seeds (YES good weather is coming!), a kawaii guillotine ornament, some quiltbang pins and TEA! I absolutely love getting and sending mail- if you want a postcard or some knick knacks dm me your addy!
As far as the book, great sentiment but I will say that I prefer reading theory by poc revolutionaries, as they‘re imo not as dry

Hi @Allylu 👋
Just finished The Lacuna - 4⭐️, which was almost a chunkster at 600+pages. I've started Storyland and hope to finish both these remaining titles by the end of the month.

Not doing too great on reaching my intended goals of finishing these 3 books. I will be happy to finish the tagged by the 25th and start the other two, to finish by the end of month.
@Andrew65

panThis would have been my 3rd ever (I think – maybe 2nd) DNF if I wasn‘t reading it for a challenge. As I do with books I‘m not liking, I ended up skimming, hoping something would catch my attention, but it didn‘t happen. Sadly, this is an author I usually like.
