#LPMBC

I was fine putting marginalia in my textbooks, and maybe literature I was reading for school, but now? It‘s hard for me to write in books (maybe that‘s why #LPMBC wasn‘t my cup of tea 😂)! Anyway, such a pretty word, hope you all enjoy! Here‘s an article about weird medieval marginalia: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/medieval-marginalia-books-doodles

mcctrish It‘s crazy how many years passed before I got over myself and wrote marginalia in my cookbooks 23h
Bookwomble Nope!🫸📝A lovely, mellifluous word, and ok in ancient grimoires, but otherwise, Nope! 😄 21h
lil1inblue I used to be against marginalia, but then I inherited some of my grandfather's books. I didn't get to know him well because he was sick after I was born and died when I was young. But I did get to know him through his marginalia. So now I write in all the books. 💖 21h

TheSpineView I love this word! 21h
dabbe When we used to have real textbooks in high school, I taught the kids to mark them up with post-it-notes because they couldn't write in them. The power of a post-it-note! 🤩 21h
Amiable Just can‘t do it! 😬 Although your experience is absolutely lovely, @lil1inblue ! (edited) 20h
BookmarkTavern I love writing in my books! 😅😅😅 Seeing my different notes in books I reread regularly, like Dracula, are so much fun! 17h
CBee @Bookwomble you just used another wonderful word - mellifluous!! 15h
CBee @lil1inblue that‘s so lovely ♥️♥️ 15h
CBee @dabbe post-it notes are the bomb. Couldn‘t live without em! 15h
CBee @BookmarkTavern that‘s cool! I don‘t know why it‘s such a weird thing for me 🤷‍♀️ 15h
BethM It makes me@think of our missing friends @BookishMarginalia and @WanderingBookaneer ❤️ 12h
CBee @BethM oh! I hope they‘re both doing well - any idea what‘s going on with them? now

1. Two books for #Bookspin, and one for #LPMBC. Finish Islands of abandonment. Finish an ARC for #NGGSummerSmashup.

2. I'm choosing the tagged book. It isn't without problems, but it made me think.

3. Jack McDevitt's Octavia Gone. Not awful, but I'm over this series.

PLEASE READ

With only a few days left, #LMPBC Round 18 only has three full groups. That‘s fine, but it won‘t work, unless there are at least three people in a group. Therefore, I am asking everyone to consider “expanding your literary horizons” and move your sign up into a group that already has a member(s). I‘ve already moved mine into Group E which is intended to be a mish-mash of several genres. Please, help fill up some groups!!!

5feet.of.fury I was only going to do 1 group this time, but you talked me into it 😂 (edited) 1y
suvata @5feet.of.fury great! I‘m not usually that persuasive.😎 1y
LaraReads @BethM @Hazel2019 Do you think we could somehow combine Romance & Dystopian Fiction? I‘m down for whatever. 1y

Hazel2019 @LaraReads @BethM I‘m all for it 1y

Well, I have done a terrible job posting reviews this week, but let the #BookReport reflect that I HAVE been reading! 😂 I finished Shelter in Place, The Provincial Lady in London, and The Horse-Tamer towards the beginning of the week (for #TrappedonanIsland, #LPMBC, and #Roll100 respectively lol), then threw myself in the #BacklistReadathon. Only one and half books left in the Chesapeake Shores series!! They have definitely been a mixed bag ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd)(I couldn't STAND the main character in The Christmas Bouquet - what a BRAT) but on the whole they've been pretty standard fare. Shelter in Place was a bit intense - I did enjoy it but I don't think I would reread it. Provincial Lady was fun but not AS fun as the first book. The Horse-Tamer is a childhood reread & actually one of my favorite Walter Farley books. All in all a solid week, checking off some challenges and #SeriesLove2023 too! 2y

Thank you, @psalva for introducing our #LPMBC to this author and series. I was pretty immediately drawn in by the intense, passionate voice. The writing, characters, and themes are so compelling, to say nothing of the murder he‘s investigating. Benjamin Justice is troubled, fierce, empathetic, and righteous. I‘d like to read more. 🕵️‍♀️

Ugh I‘m so conflicted with this one. I honestly got to the point where the catty behavior of the FMC got to the point where it was too much. And the insta one min I loath you the next min we‘re supposed to believe they cared for each other was just too random for me. #LPMBC #littensloveromance ⭐️⭐️ read

Julsmarshall I bailed on this one, I wanted to like it but felt the same way. 2y
KristiAhlers @Julsmarshall I‘m glad I‘m not alone with this. 2y

Harlem Shuffle: A Novel | Colson Whitehead

I went into this #LPMBC #GroupB choice with very low expectations. I had already bailed on the audiobook, but I was very pleasantly surprised to love it in print! Ray Carney is just the kind of morally ambiguous character I like, and Whitehead‘s descriptive writing just added to the fun. Definitely a pick! #botm

marleed I first experienced this an audio and was sort of meh on it. Then it was the a bookclub pick with my host super excited about it. I didn‘t want to be a bookclub-pooper so I watched a couple author interviews and reread it. I really liked it the second time through! 2y
marleed Oh I heard him respond he is going back to Harlem from the personification one of the other characters. I forget which one, Pepper maybe. 2y
Megabooks @marleed Pepper was my favorite character, so that‘s quite exciting! Funny how some books work better in each medium. 2y
