I‘m still with this series even though I did not like book 3. #completist
I‘m also still working on this sweater so I‘m bouncing between the #paperback and the #audiobook

The #tob24 shortlist is so disappointing!! I do want to remind those of us who are on the #completist side that US Spotify premium members get 15 hours of streaming audiobooks per month as part of membership. That‘s how I listened to Cold People and probably how I‘ll do this one and maybe Brainwyms 🤢🫣. Stay safe out there! 🤣

The shortlist: https://www.tournamentofbooks.com/the-2024-shortlist

squirrelbrain Blimey - I can‘t imagine listening to Brainwyrms on audio. Audio is why I bailed on Manhunt last year, and Brainwyrms is *much* worse. 😬 11mo

squirrelbrain And I‘m not being a completist this time - I‘ve fallen out with ToB! 🤣 11mo
Megabooks I will likely not read Brainwyrms @squirrelbrain 🤣🤣 and probably this one I‘ll tag because there‘s no audio and my library doesn‘t have the print. Hoopla has the ebook but I‘m so touchy with screens! The rest I‘ve read or can borrow from the library/spotify. So I guess I‘ll try. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ 11mo
BarbaraBB I don‘t want to read Brainwyrms, nor the Emma Cline or the one about Melville and the mountain lion. What were they thinking?! I guess I‘ll skip our parallel tournament this year? @squirrelbrain 11mo
Ruthiella @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain Maybe we can do an ALTERNATIVE ToB similar #CampLitsy ? Let‘s pick those books we DO want to read from the longlist. 11mo
Deblovestoread @Ruthiella I like the way you think! 11mo
kwmg40 @Ruthiella @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain I love the idea of an alternative ToB! Maybe pick the best from the ToB list (since I still want to read at least some of the official list) and fill in with others from the longlist? 11mo
Hooked_on_books This is one that actually appealed to me from the longlist and I have it out from the library, so I‘ll definitely read it. I enjoyed being a completist last year, but I strongly expect not to bother trying to this year. Sounds like a have a lot of good company in that. 11mo
Hooked_on_books @Ruthiella I like this idea, too! 11mo
Megabooks I‘ve emailed the other #CampLitsy counselors to see what they think, but I don‘t expect to hear back until morning there at this point. Time zones! @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain @Ruthiella @Deblovestoread @kwmg40 @Hooked_on_books 11mo
Chelsea.Poole Oh wow, just catching up with the shortlist. I‘m with everyone, disappointed with much of it 😔 11mo
Addison_Reads I was very surprised by the short list. I normally expect some upsets, but I don't really see any standouts on this list. 11mo
cariashley I really like the idea of our own parallel TOB! 11mo

Two #tob24 pans coming this afternoon/tomorrow. 🤣😱 I think Cold People is the worst book I‘ve read this year. If I weren‘t a #completist of the shortlist, I wouldn‘t have finished either, but I DON‘T want to come back to them!!

squirrelbrain Oh good! For me anyway, as I can cross them both off my list. Thanks for taking one (two!) for the #ToB tea,! 11mo
Deblovestoread Sorry you read two stinkers but thank you for letting us know! 💜 11mo
Bookwormjillk I‘m impressed if you finished Cold People. I bailed. 11mo

Megabooks @Bookwormjillk it was horrible! 11mo
Megabooks @Deblovestoread I hope neither makes it to the real tournament, but I bet the new earth will. 🤔🤔 I‘ll say more in its review. 💜 (edited) 11mo
Megabooks @squirrelbrain always glad to be the vanguard!! 🤣🤣 11mo
Bookwormjillk @Megabooks I was really surprised to see it was being considered. I loved his book The Farm though. 11mo
Megabooks @Bookwormjillk I‘m willing to try him again, but not for awhile. There were parts of his ideas I found interesting, but it was sooo poorly executed! 11mo

I honestly do not know how I feel about our current #NYRBBookClub read for this month. Part of me wants to abandon it, while another part is urging me to stay on, stay on, because #Completist. 💕 I wonder how the rest of the NYRB group is doing?

Leftcoastzen I haven‘t started yet. 3y
sarahbarnes I haven‘t started it yet, but it does sound like it will be a little outside of what I usually read! Interesting to hear how you‘re feeling about it so far. 3y
quietjenn I've not started yet, either. Not one I would've picked up on my own! It will be interesting to see how everyone respond to it. 3y

charl08 I also found it odd: but it does stick in the memory fwiw 3y
merelybookish Did you finish? I'm about 1/3 through. I don't hate it but I feel disoriented. 3y
GatheringBooks @merelybookish yes I did - not my fave but appreciated its intention. 3y

Found this companion to a series I read years ago at a book sale. Thinking it should be a quick read to add to the set. #completist
