Goliath | Tochi Onyebuchi
post image

Goliath by Tochi Onyebuchi is the winner for June. It is available for free to read, in the US, if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription. Even my tiny local library had a physical copy and ebook format also. This book has a number of accolades so I am hoping it lives up to the hype. Enjoy!

My favorite day of the year, the local AAUW used book sale! Added some series titles I needed, found a O‘Nan book I never heard of, added to my Hilderbrand collection. Only one nonfiction and I was happy to find it. All in all a great haul. I always say buying a book and reading a book are two separate pleasures! #bookhaul #MountTBR

Ruthiella Wow! What a stack! 🤩 3d
Hooked_on_books Oooo, look at that haul! Fabulous! 3d

For those of you who were curious, here is a grid of the 16 books that I‘m part of the way through right now. 3 of them are over 1,000 pages, so there‘s no way I can bang these out in a few weeks, but maybe if I focus on them, I could get through them by the end of the year. If this was your currently reading list, how would you tackle it? Shorter ones first to get them out of the way? Which of these have you read and really loved? #MountTBR

RaeLovesToRead None. BUT! I've got the Eighth something on my TBR and Acotar too. I am sat here in an Acotar jumper, but in my defence it is comfy and purple. People often tell me they love my jumper and it makes me feel like a fraud. Must. Read. Acotar. 7d
slategreyskies @RaeLovesToRead I know what you mean. I started ACOTAR last year or the year before but only made it through the first book. Then, I read the Crescent City trilogy this year, loved it & decided I‘d finally read ACOTAR. I reread the 1st book, because I couldn‘t remember anything about it & decided I‘d plow through them all in 1 ACOTAR marathon of sorts. That‘s cool about the jumper. Comfy & purple would be good enough for me too! 💜📚✨ 7d
RaeLovesToRead I mean... I also have a blue one 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ just assuming I'm gonna love it lol 7d

Clare-Dragonfly If it were my list, I‘d probably finish the ADHD book first in hopes of it making me feel better about having so many books on the go at once 😂 7d
slategreyskies @RaeLovesToRead I think you probably will. The main complaint I‘ve heard about it is that some people are bothered by the sex scenes. They didn‘t bother me, but they are open door. lol 6d
slategreyskies @Clare-Dragonfly ah, that‘s a good approach! I just may do that. Someone here on Litsy asked me for my opinion of that one, but I haven‘t replied yet, since I wanted to finish the book first. Maybe I‘ll tackle it today. Thanks! 📚♥️ 6d

Happy Litsyversary! | Special Events

🎉📚🎉 I‘ve been wondering when this would pop up! Eight years!! I‘m so thankful for this little corner of the socials. From buddy reads & chapter-a-day readalongs to readathons & Litsy swaps, Litsy and all you wonderful Littens have given me so much joy (not to mention oodles of fantastic book recommendations and a gloriously overfilled TBR). I‘d love to give back with a little giveaway! Comment below & tell me something you love about Litsy⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …or make a post of your own and tag me. I‘ll draw a name on 5/29–in eight days!—and will send the winner a book from their Litsy TBR (or other wish list of your choice). 2w

monalyisha I love how truly wholesome the community feels! Just a bunch of good little doobies not embarrassed to OWN their good little doobiness. 😅 Whenever I periodically impose a social media cleanse upon myself, this is the only app I don‘t delete. It doesn‘t lend itself to doom-scrolling — not even a little. 💞 2w

julesG Litsy is full of kind people who have enriched my life, and my family's. I've met wonderful Littens in real life, I've added lots of books to #MountTBR and the best: no one judges what I read. We're all book-mad here. 😁 2w

Weird, rambling road-trip thoughts about life, love, and dead rock stars. Some were interesting, most were boring; but it's another X on my #BookspinBingo board.

Here‘s a pic of my roll for the #DiceyDalliance challenge. I think that, next time, I may choose from only library books instead, but it‘ll still be nice to get another book off of #MountTBR.

I liked the 80s nostalgia of Westchester County, where I grew up. As for the story itself, eh, it was alright and not as compelling as I thought it would be. I hate going into books with high expectations 😕

I made it 85 pages in (48% of the way through), and I just couldn‘t make myself read any longer. I‘m apparently not the target audience for this book. It was so boring, and I didn‘t find the main character interesting at all. It was a slog, y‘all. Also, I thought her psychiatrist was irritating. I‘m glad to have this one off #MountTBR. #HailTheBail #DNF

💙Eep! 27/100 or 27% 😂 There are a lot on #mounttbr, though! I'm also not sure if I cheated: I've read the first Neapolitan Novel, but not the full series, but I checked the box. So it might be 26%. 😳
💙 Persepolis, The Poet X, and Walk Two Moons are all on my 2024 TBR.

These are so fun, @dabbe! Thanks for taking the time to put them together! #tlt #threelistthursday

dabbe I only included the 1st book in the series bildungsromans. You only have to have read one, IMHO! I now have a lot on my TBR, too! 🤩😂🤗 3w
