I‘ve read quite a few of our shortlist! Looking forward to The Birthday Party and Mobility the most.

I DNF‘d Julia and may try again, but maybe not 😆

Well-ReadNeck @BarbaraBB @Megabooks @squirrelbrain 6mo

Megabooks Love this graphic! You have gotten to quite a bit of the shortlist. 6mo

squirrelbrain You have some great books still to come! (edited) 6mo

BarbaraBB Both Mobility and Birthday Party belong to my favorites so far! I haven‘t tried Julia yet! 6mo

#LitsyToB24 upcoming titles. I just started Mobility on audio. I have The Rachel Incident checked out but may listen to Vintage Contemporaries on #hoopla first because it‘s an #NYC setting and we are headed there on Tuesday! I‘m trying Awad again and hopeful even though Bunny wasn‘t for me. #ShareYourStack

Megabooks

Megabooks How exciting! Enjoy NYC! 🗽 VC is a very New York novel, so I think it‘s a great choice to listen to get in the mood. @BarbaraBB just wrote the funniest review of Rouge. Personally, I like Awad doing Awad, but I get she might be marmite. 6mo

Chelsea.Poole @Megabooks I read @BarbaraBB ‘s review and I loved it 😆 I thought I was the only human who just couldn‘t “Bunny”. Apparently not! I‘m hopeful to try again with her though. Sometimes authors hit different with different books for me. 6mo

BarbaraBB Thanks @Megabooks 💕! I hope of course you‘ll love Rouge, Chelsea! I loved Rachel and Mobility! Enjoy NYC! 6mo

squirrelbrain Ooh I‘m jealous you‘re going to NYC! VC is perfect for your trip though! I just finished Route and didn‘t love it -sorry! 😬 (I didn‘t like Bunny either) 6mo

#Shareyourstack I am currently reading Wellness, will read Rouge and Rachel next since I own them, and the bottom 3 have been piquing my interest for awhile, so they will probably follow, unless one of you writes a review for another that turns my head 😊
#LitsyToB24

BkClubCare I am liking Bio of X - only on page 40 but SO intriguing. Worried tho of others saying it is too looooong 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6mo

squirrelbrain I think Idlewild is my favourite out of these. I‘m currently reading Rouge, and will start Rachel this week too. 6mo

squirrelbrain @BkClubCare - I didn‘t find Biography too long at all. 6mo

BkClubCare @squirrelbrain 👍 6mo

BarbaraBB I loved Wellness and Rachel! I am now starting Idlewild and am looking forward to Biography of X! 6mo

Megabooks I enjoyed all of these but biography of x and wellness will both make my best of 2023 list! 6mo

#LitsyToB24 #ShareYourStack. I am reading Wellness and Happiness Falls now and will try to get the other ones read, too. 🤞🏻

@Megabooks @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain

Megabooks Great stack!! Loved Wellness 🤩🤩, but Happiness Falls was just okay for me. Very curious to read what you think about both!! 👍🏻 6mo

AmyG So far I am loving Wellness. Very well-written. H Falls….too early to tell. 6mo

BarbaraBB I loved Wellness too. I haven‘t read Happiness Falls yet. I loved Rachel and am looking forward to

Same Bed Different Dreams

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I asked for the grocery for Christmas and I have Wellness! Let me know how they are! 6mo

AmyG Good to know about Rachel @BarbaraBB and I‘ll let you know @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks (edited) 6mo

squirrelbrain I also loved Wellness! I‘m on the waiting list for Happiness from the (digital) library - I think I‘ll get it early Jan. 6mo

Lesliereadsalot Wellness is terrific! 6mo

Invitation to #LitsyToB24 folks to #ShareYourStack of longlist and shortlist titles!

Heaven & Earth I tried on audio earlier this year and hibernated it, but hopefully I‘ll enjoy print more. I plan on brushing up on 1984 with the graphic adaptation before I tackle Julia on audio. I have not decided how to read Let Us Descend. Is the audio good?

I‘m deep into Prospectors on audio and enjoying it. Hoping to get to Boys Weekend soon, too!

squirrelbrain, BarbaraBB

Tamra I did the same with Heaven & Earth. I think I have to try it in print. 6mo

Karisimo I didn‘t like this in print either 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store

6mo

Bookwormjillk I probably won‘t have a stack until January. Giving up on December already 🤣 Good idea to refresh on 1984 though. 6mo

squirrelbrain @Megabooks @Tamra - I too hibernated Heaven and Earth on audio. I hope that we like the print copy better @Karisimo 😬 6mo

squirrelbrain I‘ve got Sinners on my Kindle, and I‘m going to start Rachel next week on audio as I have a couple of long drives for work. I‘m waiting for a copy of Happiness Falls from the library in early Jan and then I just have Same Bed and Mobility to go. Oh and I‘m halfway through Rouge. (edited) 6mo

Tamra @squirrelbrain it must be the audio because every time I turn around I‘m reading or hearing glowing praise. 🤞🏾 6mo

Tamra @Karisimo hmmmm, well there goes my audio theory. 😆 6mo

squirrelbrain That‘s what I thought too @tamra but now I‘m not so sure @Karisimo 🤨 6mo

BkClubCare @squirrelbrain - I listened and enjoyed Rachel. 😊 6mo

BkClubCare Hmmm - I am 20% in on Heaven & Earth and it is going well. I only listen when I am driving around but I am enjoying. 6mo

Megabooks @Tamra @Karisimo @squirrelbrain I‘m kind of surprised Heaven is getting so much end of year praise. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I hope it works for me better in print because I‘m trying to be a completist. 😂 6mo

Megabooks @Bookwormjillk I probably should‘ve waited to buy some of these until I had Christmas gift cards, but I‘m not using the library this month, so I treated myself! My daily reading is way down this month though!! 6mo

Megabooks @squirrelbrain you‘re really well set up! Excited for your reviews! 6mo

Megabooks @BkClubCare that‘s great! It‘s interesting how books work for some and not others. (edited) 6mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk solidarity!!!! SAME 6mo

BarbaraBB I am almost finished with Rouge and not enjoying it very much. Next will be Idlewild. I have a two weeks holiday to look forward to in which I hope to read Hello Beautiful and Same Bed Different Dreams 🤞🏽. From the longlist I have this one waiting for me:

Snow Road Station: A Novel

6mo

squirrelbrain Oh good @BkClubCare - two potentially crappy work days with long drives to and fro so I‘m looking forward to something good to listen to. I also have about an hour left of The Auburn Conference on audio too. 6mo

BkClubCare @squirrelbrain oh good! I have heard Conference is a good audio. 6mo

Ruthiella Great plan of attack! I‘m also going to re-read 1984 before I pick up Julia. Luckily it‘s short! I‘m very glad we didn‘t pick the Bachelder book, because I would have been VERY tempted to read Moby Dick first. 😜 6mo

Megabooks @TheBookHippie holidays can be brutal on reading, but I hope you had a good Hanukkah! 6mo

Megabooks @BarbaraBB Snow Road is not on my list to read, but perhaps you‘ll put it there! 🤔 the ending of idlewild blew me away. I think you picked two excellent books to take on vacation!! 6mo

TheBookHippie @Megabooks we did, it was very very special this year and I still smell like oil 🕎🤍💙😂 6mo

Megabooks @squirrelbrain @BkClubCare I downloaded Auburn from Audible plus and should probably get to it before they take it off. I‘m really jonesing for NF though so I just started this 18 hr(!!) book on audio.

The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism

6mo

Megabooks @TheBookHippie 😁🕎🫶🏻 6mo

Megabooks @Ruthiella I did not read MD before Dayswork and it was just okay. You‘re right that it probably would have been more enjoyable if I had more interest in Melville! 6mo

BarbaraBB @Megabooks That is so good to know about Idlewild. Looking forward to it! 6mo

squirrelbrain Ooh I saw that book from @AmyG ‘s review, Meg, and it sounds fabulous! 6mo

AmyG @squirrelbrain What review of mine? 6mo

squirrelbrain This one @AmyG - not on ToB of course, but one that Meg says she is listening to now.

The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism

6mo

AmyG @squirrelbrain Ahhhh. It‘s an excellent book. 6mo

Megabooks @AmyG @squirrelbrain I had it on hold at the library, but I knew I wanted to get to it before the end of the year after @christine ‘s review! 6mo

Hooked_on_books I‘m also planning to read 1984 before Julia. I‘m going to start listening to The Prospectors from the longlist on audio today and I should be done with The Birthday Party in print today or tomorrow. It‘s really good! And I think I‘ll listen to SBDD next weekend. 6mo

Suet624 Currently reading heaven and earth grocery store. Trying to find Idlewild at my various libraries. 6mo

Megabooks @Hooked_on_books the prospectors was great on audio! The narrator for the historical timeline was particularly good. I‘m interested to know what you think of conniving Alice! 6mo

Megabooks @Hooked_on_books also v curious as audio reviews roll in on SBDD because I doubt it would‘ve worked for me on audio. Too many fine details for how I listen, but we all read differently here!! 6mo

Megabooks @Suet624 I hope you‘re able to find idlewild. It‘s stuck in my head. It wasn‘t one I loved, but it made me think. 6mo

Suet624 @Megabooks makes me want to find it even more. 😀 6mo

Megabooks @Ruthiella I‘m also very curious what those of us who reread 1984 will think of it as adults. I don‘t remember it well, so I definitely think a reread is in order! Plus I‘m a sucker for graphic adaptations. 6mo
