The Shelf: From LEQ to LES: Adventures in Extreme Reading | Phyllis Rose

🤩 I rearranged and dusted one of my bedroom bookshelves on Friday. That felt good, and ooh, I think I see a few open spaces on there now!
🔝 This is just the top. There are 4 more shelves on the bottom.

As always, I am stuck in the past...

But it's fun to see if I recognize any of NYT's "100 Notable Books of 2024".

BarbaraBB Haha, but you‘ve read those 1001 books we all still must 🩷 3d

Thank you for the gift link @Chelsea.Poole - I love a list, although it‘s not good for my TBR!

Lots of the non-fiction I‘d never even heard of…. 🤔

And I‘m only part-way through two of these, Someone Like Us from the #ToBlonglist and Language City.

Chelsea.Poole We‘ve read several of the same books! 6d

AlaMich What do you think of Language City? It sounds like it‘s right up my language nerd alley. 🤓 6d

squirrelbrain @AlaMich - I‘m loving it so far, and you will too if you‘re a language nerd. I‘m about 3/4 of the way through and I‘ve paused it for a bit, but only because the #ToBlonglist is distracting me! 5d

Oh wow only 3!! Lots on my TBR though.

Bookwomble Have you recovered from pneumonia? I hope you're on the mend, at least ❤️‍🩹 6d

Kitta @Bookwomble yes, still coughing and tired but the worst of it is over. I‘m back at work but taking it easy. Thanks for asking ❤️ 6d

Thanks for the link @Chelsea.Poole to the NYT Notable Books of the Year.
So many I haven‘t even heard of, while I‘ve been thinking I‘m on top of things 😂

I‘ve read just these twelve (to be honest, one of them I am still reading!) and have five more sitting on my shelves. I had more books in common with the NPR Books We Love-list!

Ruthiella I‘d only read five. Also, there was a lot of non-fiction which is something I don‘t gravitate towards as a reader, unfortunately. 6d

Chelsea.Poole Colored Television seems to be popping up on many of the lists. I really need to get around to that one. I am looking at Wild Houses on the couch beside me but still haven‘t cracked it open. 6d

sarahbarnes Having read 12 is good! Like @Ruthiella I‘ve only read 5, although there are several on my TBR. 6d

BarbaraBB @Ruthiella I don‘t either. And yes, there was a lot of NF on the list 6d

BarbaraBB @Chelsea.Poole That‘s the one I have just started. Colores Television I mean. I know I liked Wild Houses but I can‘t tell you what it‘s about anymore 🤦🏻‍♀️ 6d

I‘ve read 21 from the New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2024 so far. I‘m hoping to add a few more to this graphic before the end of the year. Interested? I‘ll put the link in the comments below.

Chelsea.Poole If the first link doesn‘t work, here‘s the gift link article which should work for everyone without the paywall: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/11/26/books/notable-books.html?unlocked... 6d

Wow this list is very different from others I have seen. I have only read 7, but I have 5 more at home waiting for me.

I cannot wait to really go through this there are so many I didn't know and my TBR is going to explode.

sarahbarnes At least 10 on here I want to read, too! 1w

So Many Books, So Little Time: A Year of Passionate Reading | Sara Nelson

OK, I got a little carried away in the stuff my Kindle events… Cause this isn‘t even a quarter of the books I grabbed this year, and that‘s after deleting so many making this list. So my goal is to clean up my Kindle. Truth is, I am expecting a lot of DNF‘s in this list. But we never know until we try… So here we go, not in order, my #Roll100 for 2025. And yes, I know early, just trying to be on time rather than late this year.
