repost for @PuddleJumper:

This is going up early because I‘m slammed this week and the weekend is Eurovision!

June‘s pick for #QueerBC is Zen Cho!

If you‘ve read this author before, drop a recommendation or let us know what you‘ll be reading.

I loved Black Water Sister, can‘t recommend that enough. I‘m going to try Sorcerer to the Crown as it‘s been on my shelf for ages.

Once again I will be your camp counselor for July, and I am so excited to discuss these books!

I have already read Death of the Author, and I have been dying to discuss it because it is so unique. Woodworking is new to me, and I‘m so excited for us to explore it together.

I‘ll be posting page breaks later, but I hope you can join me July 5/6 and 12/13 for Author and July 19/20 and 26/27 for Woodworking! 🏕️😁 #CampLitsy25

repost for @Liz_M;

In the US, summer is bookended by two holiday weekends: Memorial Day, the last Monday in May, and Labor Day, the first Monday in September. 14 weeks.

I challenge you to read 14 books between May 26 and Sep 1, which some of you may remember fondly as #14Books14Weeks.

Show me your stacks!

repost for @squirrelbrain:

Summer is here, campers! 🏕️ Thanks to all 71 of you who voted - we have our top 6 books for #camplitsy25!

In June, we‘ll start with Audition, followed by Wild Dark Shore.

I‘ll be back in a week or so with the page breaks for Audition, which we‘ll discuss over the weekends of 7th/8th and 14th/15th June.

In the meantime, keep an eye out for Meg and Barbara who pop up over the weekend with the remaining 4 books!

repost for @BarbaraJean:

Hello #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead-ers! I‘m looking at a tentative schedule for the next few months:
Beautiful Joe by Marshall Saunders (2 weeks)

THAT takes us to mid-October

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5 - a Fast turnaround time but I think we‘re all looking forward to the final (for now) installment in this series - we‘ll start on Monday and read 3 chapters a day until done - probably by mid June. I‘m tagging those that have expressed interest but please let me know if you want to join or be removed from the tag list.

In April, we returned to the beginning of the Empire. I really enjoyed it. What did y'all think?
Now, for May, we meet up with Obi-Wan while he is still a padawan to Qui-Gon. This should be entertaining.
As always, if anyone wants to be added or removed, just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always 🚀

repost for @JacqMac:

My book arrived yesterday. After I left my house to visit my dad for a few days. Just three hours away. 🙄I did manage to get an ebook copy from the library to hold me over. It‘s a big one! I have decided to keep it divided by parts. I know that the last part is very short, but I think leaving it as is will give people time to catch-up. Or to read other things for a bit. But I‘m always open to suggestions.

Happy Spring #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub members! May's choice is the tagged by club favorite Susan Scarlett, aka Noel Streatfield. Based on previous books by her, I expect a heroine we can root for and a baddie we can love to hate!

It's time to vote! The #CampLitsy25 longlist is looong again but it will be so hard to choose from the amazing books that you‘ve nominated. Please take your time and vote for the six books you‘d want to read together in June, July and August. Do so before May 9 please. We‘ll get back to you soon after that with the six winners!

The votes are in and the June selection for #LitsySciFiBookClub #LSFBC is The Stardust Grail by Yume Kitasei. The US price on Amzon is $14.99. My library doesn't have a digital or audio copy. I hope they have the physical book. I haven't checked other sites for the book. Hopefully, it will be less other places.

repost for @StayCurious:

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Hey guys! On to the next in the series. Some say this is book 3.5, some say 4, some say it‘s a novella - I prefer to think of it like a BBC Christmas special. Either way, it‘ll be fun to dive back into the world of the Inner Circle. It shouldn‘t take us too long and we‘ll read 3 chapters a day (or feel free to read at your own pace). Let me know if you want to be tagged on my posts.

Read at your own pace throughout May. I‘ll post periodic check ins during the month, and discussion will take place on May 31st.
