Singout
The Last Gift: A Novel | Abdulrazak Gurnah
Pickpick

A beautiful novel: shifting between the present and past of a dying African man in England who has never revealed his pre-sailor origins to his wife and children; of his wife, a foundling; and of his young adult son and daughter. Explores knowing identity, family dynamics, aging, and race issues, although I thought little was made of the fact that his adult kids are racialized.

Give it 3 chapters and you'll be in love. I loved the friendship portrayed in this novel, the adventure and mystery, Sarah J Maas is one of my all time favorite authors and this newest novel of hers does not disappoint. ⁠

Book two down and three more to go! I'm not normally a 'series person' but I must confess, I seem to be hooked!

This is a stack of TBR books, plus books I've pulled for photo prompts, and it grows daily. And this was the TINY TBR. Sigh. I #can'teven. #junebookbugs

queerbookreader Can I pick your next read from this pile 🙋🏻 7y
queerbookreader Ooooooookay. I've heard Atlas Obscura is super cool! But Bettyville has popped up on my radar like five times in the last three days so what is that book even about? I pick Bettyville 🎀 7y

#JuneBookBugs need to post this one again #Can'tEven deal with my messy library right now. Looking forward to getting new bookcases this summer ❤️️📚

TrishB If you need any helpers 😀 7y
DeborahSmall @TrishB if you're ever in NI with work you'll know where to come 😉 7y
drokka I don't see a problem. 🤣🤣 7y

DeborahSmall @TrishB I'm trying to get stephen to move his work equipment into the garage. And I'm still trying to get him to move his desk and files into the sunroom or small living room. I'll wear him down. I've so many plans. This is only half of the room. I want bookcases wall to wall, maybe a few gaps for some art 😂 7y
DeborahSmall @drokka I can't deal with the books on the floor. I can't enjoy my space when it's so messy. I'm planning on buying bookcases over the summer. I'd like to replace the sofa with a couple of armchairs and have a nice coffee table too... just need more room 7y
drokka Oooooh, that would be a lovely arrangement. I've had books in boxes for so long now I'm gagging to find a new home where I can set up my library properly. I think I've become complacent with books piled up against furniture. 🙂 7y
queerbookreader You gotta start double stacking!! Or try stacking them horizontally instead of vertically. My shelves aren't organized as much as they are "cram as many books in as possible without busting the shelves" 7y
DeborahSmall @lemonlime799 the black bookcase is double stacked with books vertically stacked on top of back ones and a few in between stacks too. The billy bookcases are to narrow to double stack. I've been looking through gumtree tonight as I don't mind buying second hand with someone to deliver already assembled!! 7y
DeborahSmall @drokka I had books in boxes for 3 years, as in this room I had hundreds of DVDs so I had to make a choice as I didn't have room for both. With streaming and sky (cable) the movies and box sets went. Still have a few of my favourite movies though 💕 7y
LeahBergen Love it! Have you thrown that printer to the kerb yet? 😂 7y
TrishB I'll be pushing them for something in NI now😀 Last time I was supposed to be going to Belfast I broke my arm the day before and I've still not been! 7y
