To Paradise | Hanya Yanagihara
post image
Panpan

I feel like ambiguous endings are a litmus test that I failed lol. On occasion ambiguous endings can add complexity and be so thought provoking they leave your mind blown (The Life of Pi) but often they just leave me feeling baffled and unsatisfied. To Paradise was the latter for me. HY‘s prose is beautiful and moving, but overall this book (or these three books ambiguously wrapped up into one) missed the mark for me. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 2y

If The Bachelor had this much diversity I might actually watch it. A delightful queer romcom with accurate mental health representation. Definitely a pick for me.

Our Missing Hearts | Celeste Ng
post image
Pickpick

Celeste Ng knocks it out of the park with this dystopian novel that hits a little too close to home. Ng beautifully and eloquently tackles difficult topics including racism, oppression, censorship, and the government separating children from parents as a means of control. This book resonates so profoundly with current injustices in our country that I wasn‘t sure if I was reading dystopian fiction or the evening news.👇

BookNerd9906 What immediately came to mind were headlines about US detention of migrant children and separating families at the border. But then it got me thinking more critically about all the ways the government uses children as a means of control. Ie overturning Roe v Wade, The Heartbeat Law, and charging parents with abuse/neglect for providing trans children with gender affirming care. I loved this book and I can‘t wait to talk more about it! 🤯 2y
SamAnne So looking forward to this read. 2y

A Little Life: A Novel | Hanya Yanagihara
post image
Pickpick

I read this book on vacation, It‘s been on my TBR shelf forever. I didn‘t realize it was going to be a heart-breaking, gut-wrenching, ugly cry kind of book (or I might have saved it for when I was home). I cried on the plane, I cried on the ferry, I cried on the beach. It is simultaneously the saddest and most beautifully written book I‘ve ever read. I don‘t know what to read next, I feel as though I‘m ruined for all other books.

Cortg OMG! I can‘t imagine reading this on vacay. The emotions this book takes on is incredible! One of my all time faves for sure. 2y

This is my third TJ Klune and I‘m obsessed. I‘ve loved every book I‘ve read so far and can‘t wait to read more. This was completely not what I expected, and unlike anything I‘ve read before, in the best way possible. Like if Recursion and The Host had a love child it would be this book.🤯 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #jubilantjuly @Andrew65

Two books down this weekend for #jubilantjuly readathon. I really enjoyed both. Jar of Hearts was creepy and dark with lots of plot twists, I couldn‘t put it down. Long Way Down is beautifully written in verse, I can‘t stop thinking about it. Also unputdownable, read it in one sitting. @Andrew65

I wanted to love it. And there were parts I loved, but there were parts I didn‘t. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Lin-Manuel Miranda and I could literally listen to him narrate a dishwasher manual and be happy so it‘s a soft pick for me.

Oh my gosh! Is Will Smith famous? If you didn‘t know before, you definitely will after reading this memoir. I listened to the audiobook, and in typical Will Smith fashion it was entertaining. I did enjoy it, and while he spent a lot of time tooting his own horn, he was also authentic and vulnerable. Overall a pick. #bigjunereadathon @Clwojick

LOOKING FOR RECOMMENDATIONS. It‘s literally been years since I‘ve posted anything, but I‘m home sick and looking for something to binge read. Here are some in my TBR, but I also have a kindle and an Overdrive account so open to any and all suggestions.

LiteraryinPA Hi again! Of the ones pictured I‘m a big fan of The Little Prince. But overall one of my favorite books of the last couple years was The House in the Cerulean Sea! 3y
Amiable That Wally Lamb book is one of my all-time favorites! I‘ve read it multiple times. It‘s so good. And the Henrietta Lacks book is phenomenal if you are in the mood for NF. 3y

#BFCr4 check in. I‘m finally starting to have some relief from back pain. Revising my goals accordingly. I‘d like to try and get 60,000 steps this week. Try one yoga class. And make time to go to the chiropractor. Stepping up my reading goal to 3 books this week. And getting back on track with calorie intake. Side note, this book is so well done and trauma informed. Everyone should read it.

Bookwormjillk Love your new goals! 5y
