Ok here are 4 that are on my TBR. Do any of them appeal to y'all? @shellleigh33 @lynneamch @smalldogs_bigbooks2419

BookishPiper Book on top right is Norwood. It is difficult to tell from the photo. 14mo
smalldogs_bigbooks2419 I didn‘t read the summaries for the other three books but Miss Demeanor sounds great. 14mo
lynneamch All sound interesting, but always enjoy anything with food, so 14mo

BookishPiper I think that's a vote in favor of Ms. Demeanor then. Sounds good! 14mo
shellleigh33 My vote is for What‘s eating Gilbert Grape but Ms. Demeanor sounds good 14mo
smalldogs_bigbooks2419 I didn‘t even notice one of the other options was What‘s Eating Gilbert Grape? I love the movie. I wonder if it‘s another case proving “the book is always better”. 14mo
BookishPiper I've wondered the same thing. I am up for it if yall are. 14mo
BookishPiper So we are between Gilbert and Ms. Demeanor. 14mo
lynneamch Your choice on those. I'll do 14mo
BookishPiper Well I also love the movie and it seems like you all are OK with reading it. I'll do What's Eating Gilbert Grape. 14mo

Mrs. Fletcher: A Novel | Tom Perrotta
post image

Ok here's my retry at this post for #LMPBC #GroupX

@BookwormAHN @LiteraryinLawrence @MaleficentBookDragon

Mrs. Fletcher and We Sold Our Souls have Gen X main characters. Forrest Gump was a huge movie, and I've heard the novel is a bit different than the film? What do y'all think?

BookwormAHN My pick would be We Sold Our Souls but Mrs. Fletcher sounds hilarious. 1y
MaleficentBookDragon I agree with @BookwormAHN We Sold Our Souls or Mrs. Fletcher would be my picks. 1y
BookishPiper Sounds like we have a winner. 1y
LiteraryinLawrence I‘m fine with either 1y

Remarkably Bright Creatures | Shelby Van Pelt

Starting this one for #LMPBC #Group X

LiteraryinLawrence Wait, so the way the group works is that we mail along physical copies of our 4 books. So each of us chooses one book that we own to start with. My choice that everyone voted on is Remarkably Bright Creatures. I don‘t think you‘ve picked yours yet (those were the posts each of us made, but I don‘t think you made one yet). In November we each read our book while writing notes in the book and then at the end of the month we mail them. 1y
BookwormAHN @LiteraryinLawrence @MaleficentBookDragon Yes and we mail them in the order @suvata sent us the email in. 1y
BookishPiper Gotcha! My bad lol. 1y

Enjoying the evening. Smoking a pipeful of Penny Farthing and listening to Rachmaninoff, while reading. Good evening to all my friends on The Litsy.

The Woods are Dark | Richard Laymon

After finishing The Beast House series, I'm continuing on with Richard Laymon. I'm sure he's not for everyone, but I seem to be enjoying his work. Maybe I'm a little kooky myself.

I've been feeling cruddy for a while. Wheezing and not sleeping well. Turns out I have bronchitis. My wife finally made me go to the doc yesterday. After a steroid shot and and an albuteral inhaler, I feel like a million bucks this morning. I should have listened to her and went a long time ago.

The Beast House | Richard Laymon

Starting book #2 of The Beast House Chronicles. I enjoyed the first one. Be warned however, that Laymon is very graphic. To coincide with the mythical Beast, I have decided to pack myself a bowl of Loch Ness this morning. Happy reading friends!

The Cellar | Richard Laymon
post image

My first post here on Litsy. I'm trying to read as much as I can these days and I'm proud of my progress this year. I am sitting down with a pipe filled with Distinguished Gentleman and reading Richard Laymon's The Cellar. It's my first Laymon novel. Let me know what you think of him. I might read the whole Beast House series for the month of October.

RaeLovesToRead Welcome to Litsy! 2y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I've never read Laymon to give you my opinion but I can say welcome to Litsy! 2y
BookwormAHN Welcome to Litsy! I love Laymon 👻 1y
