A Lady's Guide to Fortune-Hunting: A Novel | Sophie Irwin

I thoroughly enjoyed this charming modern version of a Georgette Heyer style regency romance. It was just the light, frothy fun I‘ve been needing lately. #Romantsy

Between the World and Me | Ta-Nehisi Coates

pick

While I don‘t think I got all of it, or even most of it, this was a book worth reading. Coates drops a lot of names - writers, poets, musicians - and even looking into a smattering of them blew up my TBR. I found the thread hard to follow at times, as his reflections meandered. Not the best book I‘ve read, but a good one. #52Books23 #typographiccover #butIforgotapicture

TheBookHippie I was thinking of you today. I had to explain the Tylenol thing and I thought yup here we are yet again.😵‍💫 2y

ravenlee @TheBookHippie it‘s the worst! When I was pregnant I felt like if I had to explain it to one more idiot I was going to kill somebody. 😡 2y

TheBookHippie @ravenlee it‘s maddening … 2y

This is my first book by this author. It was a good coming of age story with a quirky cast of characters. I think I‘ll read more from Wilson.

Now Is Not the Time to Panic: A Novel | Kevin Wilson

pick

Really enjoyed this, although it‘s nothing like as quirky / weird as Nothing to See Here. I loved Frankie and found a lot to empathise with, growing up feeling like you don‘t fit in anywhere. I also liked the portrayal of how their seemingly innocent art project could grow into a national obsession; it felt really true to life.

Thanks so much for sending it to me Barbara! 😘

Bind, Torture, Kill: The Inside Story of BTK, the Serial Killer Next Door | Roy Wenzl, Tim Potter, Hurst Laviana, L Kelly

pick

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I thought I enjoyed sleep. Why do I read this stuff?! Curiosity? Is my brain broken? After reading his daughter‘s memoir, it felt natural to read about Dennis Rader‘s ultimate takedown. That, of course, includes the painful details of his crimes. I laughed as this book highlighted how truly stupid he was right before being caught. Technological advances will get your ass! May he rot in prison until unusually old. Death would be a respite.

Bklover I love reading this stuff I think I could read true crime all day long. I think my brain‘s broken too! 2y

britt_brooke @Bklover It‘s bizarrely fascinating! 2y

The Loser | Thomas Bernhard

pick

After piano virtuoso Glenn Gould dies, the unscrupulous narrator (alter ego of the author) and their friend Wertheimer are free to blame him for the fact they haven‘t become piano geniuses themselves.
After Wertheimers suicide, Bernhard as usual doesn‘t hold back. Again he pours out tons of criticism about Austrian society, and he mocks and taunts both of his friends with demonic pleasure. It is a pleasure to follow his linguistic brain.
