I will gladly share my gently used copy of DRIVE YOUR PLOW OVER THE BONES OF THE DEAD with an interested reader in the United States. This is an unusual and thought provoking novel and a recent selection of my book club. Interested readers please comment on this post. First interested reader gets the book. #BookMail #BookGiveaway
Book club Halloween-ish meeting to discuss Shirley Jackson‘s “We Have Always Lived in the Castle.” #FirstSaturdayReaders
NYC trip commemorated in my book journal. A good day with some of the members of my book club. #FirstSaturdayReaders
Current read. I picked this up on a whim a number of years ago and loved it. Later I found out it was part of a series but the original edition I bought made no mention of that. Rereading and enjoying it all over again. #Halloween
Current read.
so-soTook me one month to the day, but I finished. As challenging in its own way as Rushdie‘s THE SATANIC VERSES. Book discussion a few weeks away. A big “whew” from me! #FirstSaturdayReaders
Finished PARABLE OF THE SOWER for September book club, and thought I‘d get a head start on October‘s door stop of a book, THE NAME OF THE ROSE. #FirstSaturdayReaders
September, October and November for book club. #FirstSaturdayReaders #bookclub
Up next for book club. #FirstSaturdayReaders #BookClub
Book club Saturday means book club prep Friday night. #FirstSaturdayReaders
Putting this “Read Across the USA” section in my reading journal, and I‘m happily surprised at how much I‘m already able to fill in from what I‘ve already read! Go, me! #ReadingJoutnal
Up next for book club. #FirstSaturdayReaders
Current read. Bought this at a thrift store about 30 years ago and had it in my TBR pile ever since. My first Roth.
pickQuick read, compelling. Beautifully and sparely written.
Book group trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. #FirstSaturdayReaders #TheMet
I‘m a lifelong reader but I‘ve always struggled with poetry. Recently I saw a post online about a completely unrelated subject that had someone comment, “Explain it to me like I‘m 8,” and I thought, “Gee, I wish someone would explain poetry to me like I‘m 8.” Cue the Amazon search, and here we are with my current read!
so-soI haven‘t read any Stephen King since the BIG disappointment of Doctor Sleep. At this point it seems like he keeps writing the same books over and over with a few changes to the minor details and character names. File under “More of the Same.”
June, July and August book club selections. #FirstSaturdayReaders
Book club today to discuss Tara Westover‘s excellent memoir, “Educated.” Book club day is always a good day. #FirstSaturdayReaders
pickJust finished and it will take me some time to process. Amazing memoir. Book club next weekend for discussion. #FirstSaturdayReaders
Current read and I and I am loving it. About 2/3 through. #FirstSaturdayReaders
Thinking about starting a reading journal. Anyone else keep one? Any advice you will share with a newbie? Thanks, my fellow bibliophiles! #ReadingJournal
pickLoved this! Finished and immediately started rereading. Can‘t wait for book club to discuss this. Definitely recommend.
panThere‘s no way sugarcoat it. This book was awful. I started it two other times and couldn‘t get past the first 5 or so pages. This time I was determined to power through and I did manage to finish it. It‘s as terrible as the reviews said it is.
so-soInteresting fact-based story about the sister-in-law of famous artist Vincent Van Gogh, but the contemporary storyline that was supposed to complement it was cliche and predictable.
Book giveaway! I‘m happy to share my gently used copy of Ruth Ozeki‘s excellent novel, THE BOOK OF FORM AND EMPTINESS with a reader in the United States. Please comment below if you are interested. #BookGiveaway #BookMail
