Thanks for the tag @runswithscissors007 Here are my #Top6Reads This was a tough choice as it‘s been a great reading year so far (one plus of pandemic life 😂)!

@Kimberlone @vivastory tagging you in case you‘d like to share your picks if you haven‘t already.

vivastory Thanks for the tag! These are great choices, I really need to get around to the Cromwell trilogy! Do you think she'll win the Booker again for this one? I did the #top6reads a few days ago 👍 4y
KVanRead @vivastory It really is perfect end to the trilogy. I think she could be a contender. 4y
Kimberlone Nice! I just got back from camping over the holiday weekend and will post mine today. Thanks for the tag! Also, The Things They Carried is one of my favorite books of all time, glad you had a chance to discover it this year! 4y
KVanRead @Kimberlone My daughter was reading it for Junior English so it seemed like a good time to finally take it off my TBR. So glad I did. Such a profoundly moving book and so well written. Look forward to seeing your picks! (edited) 4y

Is it wrong to want my UBC student daughter (not a creative writing major) to talk her way into Williams‘ class so that she can introduce me? Okay, YES IT IS, but so in love with this book and impressed with this writer. This was a literary page turner for me - totally consuming story, characters, and clever, inventive, witty style. How does a thing that seems so light, so effortless hit you so hard in the gut? Like a velvet hammer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Saturday night reading view (I may be hanging out with my as yet unwrapped Christmas present while my husband is out)

Nute So funny!😂 How did you find it? 5y
BookishTrish @Nute I may have found it at the store and possibly moved it around the store until it caught his eye. Maybe. 5y
Nute Oh my goodness, I‘m laughing way more now! Thank you for a wonderfully humorous start to my mid-morning!🤣 5y

I‘m halfway through this one and feel the writing in the second half is much stronger than the first. Like this line a lot.

Two questions 1 - Do you find it hard to like a book when the writing is very writerly and takes you out of the story? 2 - Do you enjoy it when the main character is a flaming asshole?

Me: 1 - Hell no 2 - Sometimes

LauraJ Agreed. 5y

So-So and a Pan. Experimental styles throughout and a shitty character named Edgar. Did not like him. Unfortunately another story that is just not doing it for me. 😟
