Alright guys, I'm about 40% into this book and I'm not hooked....I've heard so many good things about this book and I'm feeling pretty bored...should I continue or bail? Anyone else feel this way? #bookdilemma

HotMessJess I always force myself to finish 😒 8y
HotMessJess And then complain :/ 8y
BilboBookends Ha @HotMessJess I totally get it! 8y

Oh book dilemmas. What to start next? Do I read Ancillary Justice, my next Book Club read? (I read the first chapter last night and it was really good.) Or do I start Commonwealth which @Joanne1 wants me to read so she's got some to talk to? Or do I do a bit of both? I think it will have to be both. #bookdilemma

😱 Litsy, which ones do I get? And no, don't say all of them. I wish, but I can't today! I can probably manage two. If it helps, my libraries didn't order The Hatching or the Alice books.

#BookDilemma

Eyelit If you already have the first two, then March is a given 😄 other than that I say Underground Railroad and the Alice book 8y
Owlizabeth The Alice books are amazing and if your library doesn't have them, I'd go with those 8y
BookishFeminist @Eyelit I don't own the first two March books but come to think of it, now that the third is out I may get all three at once when I can afford it. John Lewis does a lot of events in the area since I'm in DC, so maybe at his next signing! 8y

EmilyChristine The Alice books! Loved the first one and I have the second one waiting to read. 8y
BookishFeminist @Owlizabeth Good to know! I was really surprised none of my local library systems ordered them. 8y
BookishFeminist @EmilyChristine 😂 so I guess I'm getting at least the first Alice book since everyone so far has voted for those. 8y
BookishTrish Alice for sure and The Hatching and the Mieville... Which I haven't read but covet 8y
SoniaC Underground Railroad! 8y
EmilyChristine @BookishFeminist My friend made me read Alice. It's a dark and weird version of Alice in Wonderland but so good. Sadly book 2 isn't being ordered for the library but I saw it at a bookstore and bought it. 🤓 8y
CaitlinSiem I've heard great things about the Alice books. And everyone's freaking out about The Obelisk Gate and Underground Railroad. Might need to flip a coin lol 8y
Bette Don't your libraries take suggestions?!? 😳 8y
mauveandrosysky Definitely The Underground Railroad 8y
BookishFeminist @Bette They do! But they're not required to listen to them. Also in my experience, they take a while, and I'm impatient. 8y
Waynegjr Definitely get The obelisk gate. 8y
BethFishReads Underground Railroad 8y
LauraBeth Def get The Underground Railroad 8y
Godmotherx5 What did you get? 8y
Lizpixie The Alice books definitely! They're amazing! 8y
NerdyRev Underground Railroad and Behold the Dreamers 8y
BookishFeminist @BookishTrish @SoniaC @EmilyChristine @CaitlinSiem @mauveandrosysky @Waynegjr @BethFishReads @LauraBeth @Godmotherx5 @Lizpixie @NerdyRev Thanks for the recommendations, everyone! I decided on Alice & The Obelisk Gate for now since I have time to get The Underground Railroad before I meet him in September. 😁 8y
Zelma @Bette mine is pretty small. Limited budget and space. But I use inter library loan and typically buy titles that I know they might now get or will be a crazy long wait list. Or things I need right this moment. 😂 8y
Tikabelle DANGIT my holds list was just getting under control! This book stack is VERY RUDE and time consuming! (Excellent final choices.) 8y
BookishFeminist @Tikabelle 😂😂😂😂 #sorrynotsorry if it makes you feel better I feel just as affronted though! I don't have all of this time 😬 8y
Tikabelle The best we can do is soldier on, I suppose. I came to blurb about an issue with a book I'm reading and your stack made me rethink, then bail instead. There are so many better books! 😆 8y
BookishFeminist @Tikabelle 😂😂 oh no! What are you reading that you're bailing on?? 8y
NerdyRev @BookishFeminist I remembered I liked Alice, but I don't remember what the slant was of the book, but I remembered I liked it. I am going to look up Obelisk gate now 😀 8y
BookishFeminist @NerdyRev I have a feeling you'd enjoy it! This is the book that The Obelisk Gate is a sequel to, it just won the Hugo for best novel! 8y
