Buzz, Sting, Bite: Why We Need Insects | Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson

pick

Fascinating facts about all kinds of insects, written in a entertaining style that had me reading passages aloud to my sister as we drove to and from her farm. If you‘ve ever wondered what use there can be for mosquitoes, wasps and ants, read this persuasive book. Translation from Norwegian by Lucy Moffatt. #WomenInTranslationMonth

How about a #WeekendlyForcast? I was looking ahead and made a collage early.👍🏻

Enjoying Small Angels as I continue getting into gothic fiction. Really looking forward to One‘s Company arriving tomorrow. Excited about Elena in print too for #WomenInTranslationMonth.

On audio, I had to jump on Pathological, which is today‘s Audible daily deal. I also have two fantasy (crazy for me!) and some true crime (also unusual). 🤞🏻 it comes together! ⬇️

Megabooks @swishandflick made me aware of the Book Outlet fiction sale, and I picked up 12 books for $68 including tax. 🙌🏻 I didn‘t *need* any books, but since when has that mattered? 🤣🤣🤣 2y

Cinfhen Yesssssss❗️loving all this…. Can‘t wait for the reviews 💖 2y

ChaoticMissAdventures Oh! I have One's Company from the library and have not started it yet, it sounds fascinating! 2y

BarbaraBB Ambitious plans! Have a good weekend! 2y

Chelsea.Poole Looks like some great reads ahead of you! I‘m curious about Deer Creek and Raising Lazarus. 2y

Megabooks @Chelsea.Poole yes, looking forward to both! Dopesick wasn‘t my favorite opiate crisis book, but I‘m interested in what she has to say in the sequel.

Raising Lazarus: Hope, Justice, and the Future of America's Overdose Crisis

Megabooks @Cinfhen it‘s going to be a good week! One‘s Company just arrived while I was making dinner. @britt_brooke was right - the metallic cover is stunning!

One's Company: A Novel

Megabooks @ChaoticMissAdventures I can‘t wait to start! 2y

Megabooks @BarbaraBB they‘ll probably completely change! 🤣🤣 2y

britt_brooke @Megabooks Total #coverlove 🤩🤩 Can‘t wait to hear what you think! (edited) 2y

BarbaraBB I hope you‘ll read Elena! 2y

BarbaraBB By the way, it takes a long time for my parcel to arrive 🤔 2y

Megabooks @BarbaraBB I plan on Elena for sure! Probably towards the end of the week. Yes, I‘ve been watching for your package. Molly massively alerts us (like it‘s the only indoor barking she does) when the mailman comes, and one of us is always home, so 🤞🏻🤞🏻 it arrives soon. Thank you for sending it! 2y

People from My Neighborhood: Stories | Hiromi Kawakami

pick

Cute short story collection about a fantastical neighborhood in Japan. The magical realism was fun and the 4-5 page looks into the neighbors‘ lives kept the pace moving. Enjoyable and good if you‘re looking for some more lighthearted Japanese literature.

Book 2 for #WomenInTranslationMonth 👍🏻
Also works for #FoodAndLit #Japan

Book Report: Publishing Strategies, Writing Tips, and 101 Literary Ideas for Aspiring Authors and Poets | Mark Shaw

Finished So Long a Letter. Good for #womenintranslationmonth and #readAfrica

Finished The Four Winds (at 2:00 am a few days ago) and it‘s another moving #historicalfiction from this author.

I was also a little acquisitive this week and read bits and pieces from several books.
