#WhereAreYouMonday
This week I'm in the woods in Australia. They never name the town, they only describe it as small, mountainous and inland.

The Enigma Affair: A Novel | Charlie Lovett

#WhereAreYouMonday
The tagged book started in North Carolina and is currently at Bletchley Park, with plans to end up in Germany. The shores of WDS are on a remote island, closer to Antarctica than anywhere else. Enjoying both, so far.

O Pioneers! | Willa Cather

#WhereAreYouMonday

I‘m in Nebraska with Alexandra Bergson and family as they try to farm and prosper while so many of their neighbors fail and move back to the cities to try their luck.

This is also the fourth book on deck for the #ShelfSweeper readathon. 😊

Still in Monrovia with the sociopath narrator of this tedious nonsense

bookandbedandtea "Tedious nonsense" ? 2w

CSeydel @bookandbedandtea I keep waiting for her to realize that her unhappiness is because she‘s pathologically self-absorbed, but she hasn‘t yet 2w

dabbe I bailed on this one during Camp Litsy last year for reasons you just described so well. 🤣 2w

CSeydel @dabbe I‘m so tempted to bail but my book club is discussing it Thursday night and I want to be able to defend my low opinion of it. And … maybe? .:. it gets better? My husband wisely bailed after 50 pages 2w

CBee @CSeydel I bailed during #camplitsy last year too. It was making me feel physically ill 😂 2w

5feet.of.fury 😂😂 2w

TheBookHippie I‘ve never hated a book as much as this one.. 😵‍💫 2w

fredthemoose @CSeydel it does not get better 2w

dabbe @CSeydel Life's too short! I bet you already have enough to defend your position. Sometimes a bail sends a powerful message, too! #hailthebail! 😍 2w

willaful yet another camp bail here! 2w

DGRachel Adding my vote for “save yourself and bail”. I am another Camp Litsy bail. 2w

BarbaraBB Lol, I loved it! 2w

CSeydel @TheBookHippie It‘s truly terrible. The MC seems to think she‘s the only person in the world who has ever had an original thought. The rest of humanity exists only as either her audience, support staff, or pawns in whatever emotional games she‘s playing with herself. 2w

CSeydel @CBee @5feet.of.fury @fredthemoose @dabbe @willaful @DGRachel Thank you all for your support! I was happy to have read far enough that she acknowledges that “there is something very wrong with me” and starts to take accountability for some of the bullshit she‘s making up in her head and attributing to everyone around her. That she‘s been ridiculously unfair about older women. But it‘s just so boring listening to her natter on. 2w

TheBookHippie @CSeydel It was such an insult to women as a whole, let alone the immense privilege it shows ad nauseam and insult to my intelligence. I think it‘s an extremely harmful book. It shows why I don‘t like most women that‘s for sure. Just YUK. (edited) 2w

CSeydel @BarbaraBB A lot of people do! When I‘m done I‘ll check out your review and look forward to seeing it from a different perspective 🤞🏻 2w

CSeydel @TheBookHippie I hope most women aren‘t as full of themselves as this one. Somehow she manages to be completely absorbed by her own inner fantasy world - “mind-rooted,” as she calls it - living entirely in her mind yet shockingly un-self-aware somehow. She views her entire life as a piece of performance art and everyone else is her supporting cast, and can‘t understand why they don‘t also see themselves that way 2w

FashionableObserver I tried so hard to get into this book. I really did. I think I made it a few chapters in before bailing. I usually hold onto my books with a death grip, but I swear I try to pawn that thing off on people all of the time. 🤣 2w

CSeydel @FashionableObserver I hear you. It‘s a slog for sure. 2w

5feet.of.fury @CSeydel is this the same book club that picked Lost Apothecary? 😅 2w

TheBookHippie @CSeydel I always have that hope. 2w

FashionableObserver @CSeydel I don‘t understand the rave reviews. It flew off of the shelves—I picked up the last copy my tiny bookstore had. All of the ladies in the store were raving about it, too… 2w

Ruthiella If it‘s worth anything, I am enjoying your complaints! 😂 So thank you for reading! 2w

RaeLovesToRead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 2w

RaeLovesToRead I thought the book was brilliant, but I also agree with everything you say 🤣🤣🤣🤣 2w

CSeydel @5feet.of.fury haha - No! Can you believe it? Two book club meetings happen to fall in the same week and they both picked loser books 😩 2w

5feet.of.fury @CSeydel 😩🤪 2w

CSeydel @Ruthiella Thank you! That‘s one good thing! I had seen some bad reviews and I hoped even if it wasn‘t good, it would at least be “fun to hate.” But it‘s mostly tedious listening to someone go through all these emotional calisthenics to rid themselves of a stupid misconception that I don‘t share (that sexuality is everything, and women are worthless after menopause). Like: I just don‘t care, and I‘m not learning anything 💀 2w

CSeydel @RaeLovesToRead LOL!! 😂 2w

BarbaraBB I also love the controversy surrounding this book 😂 2w

CSeydel @BarbaraBB Absolutely! At least we have that 😆 2w

CarolynM You comments sum up my feelings exactly. She‘s appalling. 2w

CSeydel @CarolynM Glad I‘m not the only one 😬 2w

In Shakespeare's Shadow: A Rogue Scholar's Quest to Reveal the True Source Behind the World's Greatest Plays | Michael Blanding

#WhereAreYouMonday
This is NF about Shakespeare and scholarship questions about his plays so I'm "in" 1600 England. So far it's interesting.
