This was such a fun coffee table book!

This book is just like the title suggests, good movies as old books. Essentially, movies turned into vintage book covers. The term “good movies” is subjective. The author states in his introduction, “These are films that made me laugh, cry, think, question, and celebrate” (pg. 7).

Sace @Texreader Alabama actually. I‘m not sure of its authenticity though. (edited) 6d
Texreader @Sace My hometown San Antonio has plenty! But San Marcos is just up the road so I‘m always happy to check out some good Mexican food!! 6d

What an incredible read! Although this book will not be for everyone, I personally loved it. The book explores themes of loneliness, freedom, acceptance, and love, all happening in the beautiful and often brutal natural landscape of Alaska.

The ending wasn't quite what I expected, but having reflected on it for a few days now, it really was a perfect ending for this story.

BarbaraBB Thanks for the heads up. This one has been nominated for #CampLitsy25 more than once so changes are we‘re going to read it. 1w
Addison_Reads @BarbaraBB it would make a great book for discussion for #CampLitsy25. Even if some people might not connect with it, it still has so much in it to explore and talk about. 1w
BarbaraBB I‘ll remember that when voting! Will you be joining us? 1w
Addison_Reads @BarbaraBB I haven't recommended any, but I was hoping to join in the reading and discussions once the votes are in. 1w
BarbaraBB I am glad you will! 1w

I am finally submitting my nominations for #CampLitsy25. I tried to pick books that haven‘t been nominated yet. I particularly think Careless People would provide a lot of conversational fodder.

Chelsea.Poole I‘m really interested in Careless People! 1w
squirrelbrain Yay -I‘ve been waiting for your nominations - well done on finding ones not yet nominated! You‘re right about Careless People - it would make for great discussions! 1w

Repost for @GatheringBooks

I was invited to be part of this podcast in Singapore where we talked about book clubs. Naturally, I mentioned the Litsy community, including #CampLitsy24 which is now #CampLitsy25, the #EuropaCollective and a few other book clubs I am a part of. I am only in the first seven minutes. Happy listening!
