Olivia306 2/10 ? but I currently have on my TBR pile "Autumn" and "Prearie Fires". Also, I am not that excited about some of the titles on this list. 7y
Cathythoughts Going great ! Thankyou X (edited) 7y
Kalalalatja 4/10 - but there are 4 of them I haven't even heard of 😳 7y
LittleWonder Autumn and Exit West are in my favorites of 2017 7y
cocomass I‘m also at 3/10 but Exit West and Sing Unburied Sing we‘re so good 7y
Cathythoughts @Kalalalatja 😂😂I haven‘t heard of them all either 7y
mhillis I‘ve only read 1 so far! Waiting for holds on 3 of them though! 7y
Cinfhen @cocomass I agree!! I read those 2 and gave them both 5 stars my third was Pachinko, which I gave 4 stars. I have The Power & want to read PriestDaddy. I actually bailed on Autumn @LittleWonder I couldn't get into it🤷♀️ 7y
Cinfhen I know, I'm always surprised by these lists @Olivia306 @Kalalalatja @mhillis 7y
Marchpane Well... only 5 are fiction so... I've read 4 of those 5 😂 The one I didn't get to was Exit West, I've seen mixed reviews so it's still in TBR. 7y
Cinfhen Do you not read NF?! @Marchpane or just not as much...I try to do at least 2 NF a month but they tend to be “older” books 7y
KarenUK Just 1! 😔 7y
AmyG I am 3/10 too. I will read all the fiction ones....eventually. And I just picked up Priestdaddy. (edited) 7y
peaKnit I'm 3/10 too, but glad for some more possibilities. But where is The Heart's Invisible Furies?😱 7y
Marchpane @cinfhen I do read NF, just nowhere near as much as I do fiction! Plus 3 of the 5 here are US history which is not really my bag. But the other two (Priestdaddy & the Darwin book) are right up my street. 7y
DivaDiane 😱I‘m 0/10! Actually I‘m not surprised, I have really gotten out of the habit of reading the latest books, unless they are SFF, and then also not often. But there are a couple I would put on my TBR: The Power; Prairie Fires; and Sing, Unburied, Sing. 7y
Pamwurtzler I‘m 0/10 as well, though I think Exit West is supposed t be good. 7y
Reviewsbylola I‘ve read 4 but plan to start The Power this week! 7y
Ellen 3/10 glad to see Exit West get this love, it was fantastic and timely 7y
Cinfhen I loved Exit West too @Ellen it‘s gotten mixed reviews on Litsy @Pamwurtzler but I highly recommend 💚I‘m saving the Power for January @Reviewsbylola but I‘m curious to hear your thoughts 7y
Cinfhen I hadn‘t thought about that @Marchpane I wasn‘t aware this one has anything to do with US History,I thought it was more about science![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
The Evolution of Beauty: How Darwin's Forgotten Theory of Mate Choice Shapes the Animal World - and Us 7y
The Evolution of Beauty: How Darwin's Forgotten Theory of Mate Choice Shapes the Animal World - and UsCinfhen I loved sing @DivaDiane but a lot of Littens did not...I‘m a little surprised by the amount of NF on this list @peaknit @AmyG @KarenUK 7y
Cinfhen Oh, Prarie Fires is about US History @Marchpane my bad....Prairie Fires: The Life and Times of Laura Ingalls Wilder (edited) 7y
Prairie Fires: The Life and Times of Laura Ingalls WilderBookBelle84 I'm one of the few that didn't enjoy Exit West, but Pachinko has become one of my favourite books! 7y
Reviewsbylola There‘s a readalong for The Power starting today! You should join. 😉 7y
emilyhaldi I'm 6/10 ... Surprised about Grant- has anyone read this??? It's a real chunkster 😳 Autumn was one of my favs of the year I think 🧡 And I‘m verrryyy curious to see what you think of The Power!! 7y
Cinfhen I was thinking it would work for some challenge category but maybe I'll join! Thanks for the heads up @Reviewsbylola 7y
emilyhaldi @peaknit I agree!! That‘s a big miss 7y
emilyhaldi Also Cindy- have you read Priestdaddy? Feels a little random to have made this list but it was one of my fav botm choices this year!! So funny 7y
Reviewsbylola You should def join. I need the moral support. The urge to bail is strong and I haven‘t even started. 🤣🤣 7y
Cinfhen I have not read Priest Daddy and was surprised it made this list too, because I thought it's a little low brow for The NY Times, where as Grant is probably more respectable @emilyhaldi my OVERDRIVE still does not offer Priest Daddy... what happened with you & Power??? Did you bail?!? I know it's for the BOTM challenge @emilyhaldi 7y
Cinfhen I'll give it a go @Reviewsbylola why not?!? We can bail together! 7y
Reviewsbylola 🤣🤣 7y
Bklover I‘m surprised to see Prairie Fires. May have to check it out. 7y
TrishB 2/10 for me! Probably wouldn‘t read any of that NF though. 7y
JenlovesJT47 lol I haven't read any of them yet but I do own a couple of them! 😱 7y
Ms_T Just Pachinko for me at the moment but I have Exit West and Autumn to read this month, whilst The Power and Sing, Unburied, Sing are both on my TBR 😃 7y
BookwormM 3 for me 7y
minkyb I‘ve actually read a few. Must be Litsy‘s fault. 7y
tammysue 2 for me also. 7y
Cinfhen I‘m curious about Prairie Fires too @Bklover it‘s an interesting list @TrishB @JenlovesJT47 @Ms_T @BookwormM @minkyb @whatshesreadingnow I‘m surprised this NF didn‘t make the listThe Killers of the Flower Moon 7y
The Killers of the Flower MoonCentique I haven‘t read any! But as you might guess from what I post I like to wait a few years. My TBR has me reading books released around 2000 at the moment. Every time you see me read a new release it‘s because some Litten made it sound too good to resist! #brokemyTBR 7y
Cinfhen 😂😂 @Centique I admire your restraint 🙌🏻if there is ever a new book you REALLY want please tag me...if I own it I'll be more than happy to mail it to you. I'm not one who holds onto books💕💕I prefer to share...honestly 7y
Centique @Cinfhen oh you‘re so lovely! I feel if I read a book while people are still busily talking about it I might believe the hype and then be disappointed. With older books, the world feels nice and quiet to me. I‘m an eccentric😂 😊 7y
Cinfhen I get it!! But if you ever change your mind, the offer stands @Centique 💗 7y
