acc5446 yes. all the booze for this wackadoo book. 8y

Elisa Ah, finally! I was wondering when someone was going to admit that 😄😄 I figured at some point someone would use either alcohol or a tub of ice cream as motivation/distraction — it definitely sounds like one is needed 🤐 8y

Bookgirl So many pans on this book, was just saying on another post it makes me want to read it even more to see if it lives up to its negative hype. I'm going to start it today! 8y

Wuthering Heights | Emily Bront�

pick

Time for TBT #1! Don't worry your pretty little head Heathcliff, you'll always have my love. Emily Brontë created the most beautiful anti-hero that I find myself strangely drawn to. If you've never read Wuthering Heights you're missing out. Also go see Laurence Olivier play him in the 1939 film!

LoBro I've never had any love for Heathcliff, and I'm not sure that Catherine and Heathcliff had much love for each other either. But it is a great cautionary tale of the sins of the parents being visited on the children (and grand children...) 8y

Maude_Lynne @Heatherine I was super disappointed by the time I finished it too. 8y

brittnaypozen @sharimichele If you go onto Barnes & Nobles website and type in Readouts they have a whole page. Everyday they put new books up where you can read a couple chapters for free. It's awesome because you can really get a good feel of a book before deciding to buy it! 8y

brittnaypozen @sharimichele Also, once a month they upload a book in its entirety for free! They release a few chapters per day 8y

Heatherine @Maude_Lynne I think it would have been so much better if it wasn't a series. Just one bigger book that includes everything they hinted at. I didn't read any of the other books because I was so disappointed with it. 8y

Maude_Lynne @Heatherine PRECISELY. I understand the publishers wanting to make more money off a remake, but when the reader suffers, time to check the greed. It turned me off from her other books, which is a disservice to her talent. 8y

#TBT 3: Murakami can do no wrong in my eyes. This novel has his typical metaphysical view of the world; expanding on the relation between dreams & reality. There are two main characters, each with alternating chapters. If you're into Oedipal curses, brutal murders & cats this book is for you

Although I'm loath to admit, my second #TBT of the day was originally introduced to me by an ex. Said ex despised reading (horrid, I know), but raved about this book so I gave it a shot. So happy I did! The best way for me to describe it is Lord of the Flies on crack.

brittnaypozen FYI the movie is also great! 8y

Today's #TBT theme is translated works I love! This novel is terrifying and creepy; just the way vampire stories should be. The characters are complex & endearing and overall the book is full of mystery and love. I'd classify it as a dark bildungsroman. Side note: the movie was pretty great too!

Eligible: A Modern Retelling of Pride and Prejudice | Curtis Sittenfeld

I consider Elizabeth Bennet to be my spirit animal & Mr. Darcy is my dream man so anyone trying to recreate Pride & Prejudice has a tall order to fill. I LOVED this book. Sittenfeld perfectly blended today's time frame with humor & all of the characteristics that I originally fell in love with.

ramyasbookshelf That's so good to know. I have usually hated retell Inga and I try to stay away from them all.. But this one seems to be different! 8y

jmkeene Just bought this, so I'm glad to hear that. I LOVED American Wife but hated Prep, so I've been a little nervous about Sittenfield. 8y

Gezemice @brittnaypozen I am loving the idea of the book club, but I just looked up the reviews on Goodreads for Maestra, and they are bad. Many people are bailing. I think I will skip this, too, but can you keep me in mind for the next one? Thanks! 8y

Donnasmiles Should we follow all that are in club? 8y

Maestra | L S Hilton

Morning! I haven't been on litsy long, but so far I've met such wonderful people. I'd love to start a book club. I know it's hard to have discussions since we're confined to 300 characters per comment, but I think it will be fun! For our first book I had Maestra in mind, but I'm open to suggestions!

brittnaypozen I was also thinking of When Breath Becomes Air or Everything I Never Told You. All 3 of these books seem to be getting mixed reviews. (People seem to either love it or hate it.) Which is why I feel like they'll be perfect for discussion! 8y

shawnmooney I love the idea and had been thinking that the @Litsy folks might design a better way to thread a book discussion in Litsy--although there'd be nothing stopping us from trying to work within the 300-c comment limit for starters. 8y

youngish-adult I am DEFINITELY in :) 8y

See All 53 Comments

ShelfofUnreadBooks I'd certainly be up for that! And I've already got Everything I Never Told You on the TBR. Maestra sounds amazing but is only out in HB in the UK at the mo. 8y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Sounds like a great idea, but yes, I also wish Litsy had a better format for discussions. Even getting notifications when people comment after you on a post would be nice, especially when they tag you, but I don't seem to be getting those. 8y

Jessicav I'd be up for trying this! It sounds like Litsy is really open to feedback and making improvements so we should definitely try things out and let them know. 8y

Sue Sounds like it might be fun 8y

TheWellReadOwl I'm in! 8y

brittnaypozen @shawnmooney yes, I totally agree! A thread board on here would be great 8y

Paiger1979 Sounds fun! I'm new to Litsy and would love to try something like this. 8y

brittnaypozen @Riveted Reader Melissa I did notice that when I try to tag you in things it doesn't work. I'm wondering if it's because of the spaces? 8y

brittnaypozen & woo! I'm so excited that so many of you are on board!! I'll make a post at the end of the day tagging everyone that wants to participate ❤️❤️❤️ 8y

brittnaypozen Also if you guys want to comment with any book suggestions I can tally it up later and we can go with the consensus 😊 8y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @brittnaypozen Yes! Thank you! 8y

brittnaypozen @Shortstack yes I'd love for you to join!! I figured a lot of people here were in book clubs already so I think we'll stick to the typical 1 book per month with biweekly "meetings" 8y

QueenAnne I would really love a book club 😍 my book loving friends only read in Dutch (which I rarely do). Problem is not all books in English are easy to find, and online ordering costs quite a lot.. But I'm happy to enjoy books vicariously through all of you 😍 8y

Bookzombie I'm in! This sounds like fun! 8y

jlondon1963 Maestra is on my TBR pile and would love to push it to the top. Count me in for you book club. 8y

susanw Sounds like fun! 8y

jolovestoread I'm in! :) 8y

BookJunkie429 How long do we have to read the book? 8y

Reese_Pearly.Pages @remarabbit I also read this book. It wasn't that impressive. My disappointment mostly came from how it was marketed. I'm so tired of everything being the next Gone Girl or Girl on the Train. This was nothing like either of those books. 8y

Reese_Pearly.Pages @brittnaypozen I would definitely try your book club out- Maestra wasn't a hit for me. It was... So-So. Some will like it, others hate it. Go in with low expectations. Low. Expectations. 8y

brittnaypozen @BookJunkie429 I figure that everyone on here is already in the middle of a few books so I thought we could stick to the standard 1 book per month with biweekly "meetings" ? 8y

brittnaypozen @Reese_Pearly.Pages oh no! I've heard it's definitely a love it or hate it book 8y

BookJunkie429 @brittnaypozen Oh good, I have to put the book on hold first. I didn't want to miss this. 8y

Merchant of Venice (Turtleback School & Library, Updated) | William Shakespeare

pick

Last tbt of this week is my well loved & highly annotated copy of Shakespeare's the Merchant of Venice! For some reason I find that a lot of people overlook this one, which is a shame because it's brilliant. Although Othello holds my heart, this is a close second. It's absolutely hilarious!

Sue This was my first Shakespeare courtesy of grade 10 English, which began my life long obsession with the Bard. So good! 8y

Ms.Story Othello is my fav too!! 8y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Such a better choice for school, my high school was stuck on the tragedies. 8y

kammartinez My second-favorite comedy after A Midsummer Night's Dream :D. 8y

brittnaypozen @Riveted Reader Melissa agreed! I'm dreading what the book list will consist of when my boys are in school lol. It seems like Shakespeare is being replaced by Stephanie Meyer 😂 8y

akfreeborn @brittnaypozen rest assured my kids are still reading lots of Shakespeare in high school and they are performing The Tempest for fall play! No Twilight to be had on their reading lists yet! 8y

brittnaypozen @akfreeborn thank God, there's still hope! 💜 8y

Breakfast at Tiffany's and Three Stories | Truman Capote

Ok guys, time for tbt #2 & my favorite book as a child. Truman Capote, you beautiful man, thank you for creating Holly Golightly. Such a strong, witty & spontaneous character; she did what she wanted when she wanted & (much to my husband's dismay) I attribute my disposition to her character.

[DELETED] 3216391035 Love love LOVE! 8y

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle: A Novel | Haruki Murakami

pick

By far, the best book I have ever read in my life. I read this book after someone very dear to me died & this was instrumental in helping me cope with the loss. Murakami is a brilliant writer. He has this beautiful, metaphysical view of the world & if you want to escape reality I highly recommend it

mllemay Books that help you work through grief are everything. Just one of the reasons I love literature so much. 8y

Ammie He is my all time favorite. I'm glad to hear his words were a comfort to you. 8y

ramyasbookshelf I really loved this book and recommended it for my book club read expecting everyone else to love it too! They hated it. I was shocked :) @brittnaypozen 8y

brittnaypozen @ramyasbookshelf I'm so sorry to hear they hated it!! 8y

brittnaypozen @Chelsey @Mednasanienbok I hope you guys love it, I can't wait to see what you think of it! 8y

JenP I LOVE this book! Murakami is one of my favorite authors and this is by far my favorite of his books 8y

Zakia Pure escapism. 8y

Spiderfelt Yep, definitely my favorite Murakami. It's a tall, cool drink of water. 8y

Jessicav Muramaki is easily one of my favourite authors. I have been spacing his books out so that I haven't read them all and have nothing new left. 8y

brittnaypozen @Teenta @Michreads thank you! I figured it's something fun to do (: 8y

brittnaypozen @bedandabook I'm obsessed with his work, this one is by far my favorite. Kafka on the Shore is a close second! 8y

Michreads I just did a #tbt too. Great idea! 8y

kammartinez That happens sometimes, much like you can buy a shiny new tech toy and have it turn out to be a lemon right out of the box. I doubt you'll have trouble getting that replaced free of charge :). 8y

brittnaypozen @Anei I was wondering if maybe they got a bad batch in 8y

brittnaypozen @kammartinez very true!! 8y

BookishFeminist Oh no this would drive me nuts! I'd totally ask if they'd mind sending you a copy that isn't messed up. 8y

steph_hashes_tags Oh no, that's the worst! 8y

Sara_Planz It says on their website that if you contact member services, they will send out a replacement book for free! I'm a member too so this is good to know. 8y

Infinitus Oh man. That's painful. 😧 8y

brittnaypozen @saraplanz thank you Sara, I'll for sure send them an email!! 8y

Demanda 😖 8y

Chessa Yikes!!! 8y

Anei @brittnaypozen ye gods, I hope so. 8y

Spiderfelt I am appalled, over and over, by the poor quality binding I see lately. 8y

brittnaypozen I know, it's horrible. I'm considering keeping it though just because I don't want to stop reading it to send it back @Spiderfelt 8y

Marieinsweden-Enochannanbok 😱 8y

LoBro That's just sad! 8y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa That's just not right! But I know how you feel.... I once was reading and in the middle of the scene, the dialogue switched to something else entirely. On closer look, there was like 50 pages missing in the middle. A printing error. I had to return it. 8y

brittnaypozen @Riveted Reader Melissa that's so horrible!! I'd be so upset 8y

Michreads I would be upset too. 8y

Karenand3 I'd be fuming! 8y

Spiderfelt @brittnaypozen finish reading and then return! 8y

Fates and Furies: A Novel | Lauren Groff

Beautiful baby & beautiful book ❤

[DELETED] 3216391035 Your baby is beautiful! But that book was not for me....I know I'm in the minority on that! 8y

BookishTrish Basia, I'm with you 8y

Readasaurus_rex I loved this book. That shift in the middle just blew me away. And it made me think so hard about how others interpreted their interactions with me. 8y

See All 7 Comments

Toritj I agree @Readasaurus_rex! It also made me think about how each of us interpret situations and events so differently. 8y

brittnaypozen @Basia thank you so much!! & I'm hearing a lot of mixed reviews about it. It's definitely seems like one of those books that you either love or hate. I'm not truly far enough in to decide how I feel about it yet though lol 8y

brittnaypozen It* 8y

vkmartin I enjoyed this one, though not as much as some people. I definitely like the second half better than the first. 8y

Eligible: A Modern Retelling of Pride and Prejudice | Curtis Sittenfeld

Obsessed already! The Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise is my guilty pleasure, so I'm pumped that Charles Bingley has been reimagined as Chip, the doctor turned reality star!

LoBro Ooh, Curtis Sittenfield is brilliant! I'd love to see what she's done with this story. 8y

brittnaypozen @LoBro ahh you have to get it! I'm really enjoying it so far & I'm usually picky when it comes to Austen works 8y

Sara_Planz I'm about 1/3 of the way through and just loving it!! 8y

Hmonkeyruns This was on my list anyway but I didn't know about the reality show angle. I love it! 8y

overlyattachedreader The reality show angle is genius! I really liked this one. 8y

BookJunkie429 @brittnaypozen They are hard to put down. Cinder & Cress are my favorites. 8y

maximoffs LOOOOOVE 8y

mcctrish Such a great twist on the fairy tales, I really enjoyed every moment of the first 3 ( Winter is still beside my bed because I am not ready for the Lunar Chronicles to be over) Fairest was okay 8y

Hmonkeyruns I liked this so much more than I thought I would. Waiting on Cress from the library right now. 8y

Ways to Disappear | Idra Novey

pick

I'm so happy to have come across this novel while perusing the racks in my local book store. What a beautifully written debut novel for Novey. Strangely, I find that the books I enjoy the most leave me feeling disappointed with characters decisions. All in all a fast read that I thoroughly enjoyed!

Notafraidofwords I was going to read this, but a couple of people told me it was a let down. 8y

Garyrej Read a sample, liked it 8y

brittnaypozen @Ryanira9 yeah I wasn't really expecting much from it; it was just a book I threw in with my last purchase, but I really liked it! I tend to gravitate toward books without the happiest endings though just because I find them more realistic lol 8y

See All 6 Comments

brittnaypozen @Garyrej it's beautifully written! I've never read any of Idra Novey's poems, but you can definitely get a sense of her style from the novel 8y

Shortstack @brittnaypozen - I love books that have less than favorable main characters. If you can make me want to follow the story of someone who isn't a fully good person, you're probably a good writer! 8y

brittnaypozen @Shortstack exactly!! I couldn't agree more. I also tend to gravitate toward books that are a little out there so this was a good mix 8y

Bkwurm Have you read the other books in the Austen project? I find them to be hit or miss. Still excited to read this one tho! 🤓 8y

brittnaypozen @Bkwurm I read Sense & Sensibility by Joanna Trollope, but haven't had a chance to get to the other two yet. I thought it was ok. I know Eligible has gotten rave reviews so I'm excited to read it too!! When it comes to Austen reworks I'm hard to please though lol 8y

The Nest: A Novel | Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney

Welcome to my night 📚🍷

Shortstack Can't wait to hear what you think about this one! I keep hearing good things! 8y

brittnaypozen @Shortstack to be honest, I'm having a hard time getting through it! It's just not keeping my interest which is really disappointing since its gotten such great reviews. I'm only a third in though so I'll definitely keep you posted!! 8y

Shortstack @brittnaypozen thanks! I've been on the fence about picking it up. 8y

brittnaypozen @Shortstack yeah I'm usually leery about books that get so much celebrity attention lol 8y
