ToB_LongList

Tournament | David Crouch

Taking my cue from @BarbaraBB these are the ToB longlisted books that I‘ve read, in some kind of order of favourites first.

I also bailed on Glorious Exploits and hibernated Intermezzo as it wasn‘t working on audio. I‘m not going to buy it and I‘m currently on a VERY long waiting list at the library so not sure when I‘ll get to finish it.

Next I‘ll post the books that I want to read…

Sorry if I‘ve forgotten to tag anyone!

BkClubCare I am using #ToB2025_LongList but as I type that I wonder if I have the right year… ugh. Will fix if not right? (Maybe just #ToB_LongList or even w/o the hard to find underscore space 🙄 #ToBLongList ?) Tagging is always a challenge 🏷️ 4w

squirrelbrain @BkClubCare - they definitely call it 2025 so you‘re OK there! But #ToBlonglist is just fine I think - the shorter the better! 4w

squirrelbrain @sarahbarnes - forgot to tag you - sorry! 😔 4w

sarahbarnes Thank you! I‘m interested in a few on your finished list that I‘m in line at the library for, too. 😊 4w

Megabooks Man, I looked yesterday, and it wasn‘t there! I‘ll have to look through it today. Great graphic, Helen! 4w

Dayswork: A Novel | Chris Bachelder, Jennifer Habel

pick

Immediately intense, provocative. Exquisite and daring! I really did enjoy this odd ODD list of stuff about Melville and other literary darlings, all somehow intoxicated with Melvillocity, in some way or another. Got a tad wearying, perhaps in the same way as some Melville scholar yapping too much, but that isn‘t right. Like bafflement and then awe and then,… what?! I learned a lot, I laughed quite a bit, and I am glad that I‘ve read Moby Dick.👇

BkClubCare I am trying to tag everyone but I can‘t get the copy/paste to work?! This/thus we need hashtags… #TobFOLLOWERs (edited) 13mo

BkClubCare @squirrelbrain - I can‘t seem to tag or copy/paste all the at-sign Litsians who might want to see this. How do you do it? 13mo

Megabooks Hey! I‘m just now listening to this, and as someone who has not read Moby Dick, I‘m not as enamored as you, but the writing is very good! 13mo

BkClubCare I heard that audio is NOT the best way to go with this - UNLESS, as the book is so evident— you want to share the interesting tidbits. Good luck. It‘s enough to know that Moby Dick is about chasing the whale and how much SO MANY (so many) people give it the GAN label. (GAN = Great American Novel) (edited) 13mo

Suet624 I always have trouble tagging these TOB postings. 13mo

Hooked_on_books This is one of a handful on the longlist that just didn‘t appeal to me at all. I‘ll give it a try if it makes the shortlist, but otherwise I don‘t plan to read it. It‘s great that it worked for you! 13mo

squirrelbrain I‘ve never read Moby Dick, and this is a difficult one to get hold of over here, so I may wait until the shortlist. 13mo

squirrelbrain I‘ve not add an issue with tagging anyone recently, although I know Litsy can be glitchy some (a lot!) of the time. Are you trying to tag on your main post - that‘s how I do it? Although when we do #camplitsy there are so many Littens to tag, we have a crib sheet and just copy and paste into the comments section. 13mo

BkClubCare @squirrelbrain TY, I am sure it is me 🤪 Thinking it should be easier makes it take twice as long. LOL 13mo

BkClubCare @Suet624 - soul sisters! 👯‍♀️ 13mo

BkClubCare @Hooked_on_books - 🥹 I didn‘t even look at what it was about. Nothin. If I get my hands on it, I try it. Crazy, huh? Tho, Bachelder as author gave me pause because I didn‘t really care for The Throwback Special, on the other hand, Haber is a poet so that intrigued me. ☺️ (edited) 13mo

BkClubCare @squirrelbrain - between the two of us, we might get them all sampled. (Probably not, I don‘t read that fast! But I was shocked to be the first to review this. 13mo

Hooked_on_books Quite frankly, I think that‘s a great way to be! 13mo
