Not yet time for #ALSpine2025 but I‘m getting into the spirit early with the sequel to What Moves the Dead (which both @BookmarkTavern and I had on our lists). Egg and cheese on a salt bagel with a Coke to go with it.

The Trees: A Novel | Percival Everett

I‘m loving the season to include the holiday-related reads…but I‘m really looking forward to the new year and the return to reading “more serious” stuff. #Auldlangspine has added an extra jolt to my TBR as I‘ve been paired with @Amiable and am intrigued by a number of her favorite reads from the past year. Above are just a few of her recommendations I plan to check out in January and well into 2025!

Deblovestoread The Trees is so good. Can't recommend enough. 2w

Amiable I can‘t wait to hear your thoughts! FYI, I listened to the audiobook of “Here After.” It‘s read by the author and the emotions expressed in her voice add a poignancy to the story. 2w

Auld Lang Syne!: Reliving Your Scottish Childhood | Allan Morrison

Okay Carrie, I‘m excited! And I gave you double this amount on my list 🫢🫢😂😂 (I can never narrow it down). I‘ve read #6 and #10 (loved both), but none of the others 👏🏻 I‘ll start with I‘m Sorry You Feel That Way since I bought it recently (have you read Our Fathers by Wait? Excellent book). Yay! @CSeydel
#auldlangspine2025 #ALSpine2025

CBee @monalyisha as always, thank YOU for your hard work!! 1mo

monalyisha Of course! I haven‘t read the Jess Kidd title on your list but I loved the tagged. Also, The Road to Dalton popped up on a few lists & I think it looks amazing!

Himself: A Novel

1mo

CSeydel @cbee I did read Our Fathers! That‘s what spurred me to get I‘m Sorry You Feel That Way. It was a very different story but the writing was again excellent - the characters truly feel like living, breathing people. 1mo

CSeydel @CBee I had a sort of meh reading year this year, and many of my favorite books were either niche nonfiction or part of a series, so they didn‘t feel suitable to recommend blindly. But if you want more choices, I can suggest some additional titles! 1mo

CBee @monalyisha thanks for the additional rec! I‘m excited 😊 1mo

CBee @CSeydel same for me, I bought it right after I read Our Fathers 😊👏🏻 1mo

CBee @CSeydel I‘d love that! If you want to start an email correspondence we can - I‘m at cydneybean@gmail.com. I actually have another book I read right after I made my list that I wanted to mention too. 1mo

Amiable “Being Mortal” is a wonderfully written work. 1mo

CBee @Amiable I‘m going to check that one out on audio! 1mo

CSeydel Oh it looks like I didn‘t put All the Sinner Bleed on my list, but since you enjoyed Blacktop Wasteland you might want to check it out!

All the Sinners Bleed: A Novel

1mo

CSeydel @Amiable He‘s an excellent writer. It was so powerful! 1mo

CBee @CSeydel I have that one! I‘ve read all of his books except Sinners. He‘s fantastic! 1mo

CSeydel @CBee 👍🏻🤩 1mo

Match emails are triiiiiickling out. So slowly, it barely bears mentioning.

I‘m headed to work soon, so if you haven‘t already received something from me (and only five pairs have), no need to keep checking your inbox.

I‘ll be back at it later tonight!

Christine OMG, lucky me!! How exciting. Can't wait to see your list. I hope you can find something of interest on mine...I admit I was concerned about anyone being into that much nonfiction. 🤣 And this bird is amazing. The legs!! 1mo

monalyisha @Christine I loved your list! And I love how nonfiction readers always feel the need to explain (fitting). @Amiable especially is always the same way! Future match in the making? 😅 1mo

Christine Oh good! And LOL, yes — let‘s dig deeper into our outsider identity as nonfiction buffs, @Amiable . 🤣 1mo

Amiable @Christine It's true, I do feel the need to apologize every single time for submitting lists that are skewed heavily toward NF! Ha ha. We should get t-shirts and start a support group. 1mo

Christine @Amiable Yes, please sign me up for the support group! And these t-shirts must exist but we should make our own. “Nonfiction is for lovers (of knowledge).” 1mo

Amiable @Christine Yes!! That‘s perfect. 🤩 1mo
