pick

Waiting at the dental surgeon‘s, my youngest is getting his wisdom teeth out this morning. I love this #camplitsy2024 book so much! I love the language, the love stories, Mary‘s fearlessness, the history lesson, all of it.

BarbaraBB So happy you loved it! 3d

At the airport heading to Oregon. Had a free pass for the “fancier” airline lounge & since I‘m here early I took advantage of it & grabbed some random “breakfast.” Full disclosure, transition to lunch came & so I also had a cup of minestrone soup not pictured. 😋🥣

I‘m about 12 chapters in on the first #CampLitsy2024 pick & I‘m intrigued. I hope to read more on the plane if I don‘t go to sleep. 😵 It‘s been a scramble getting out of town.

BarbaraBB Looking good! Safe travels! 4d

so-so

3.5 stars

Lots of good social commentary in this one along with some incredibly delicious sounding foods. Basically zero likeable characters though. I debated sticking it out when I was about 1/4 in, but decided to stick with it after feedback from @BarbaraJean who'd read it. I am glad I did, but I'm also happy to be done with it. 😂

dabbe Oy, this makes me not want to start this one! 😬😂😀 5d

monkeygirlsmama @dabbe 😄Nah... It was worth giving a chance. You might love it! And if nothing else, you might get some food ideas for some delicious foods to either make or go find. 🍜 5d

BarbaraJean Ah, bummer! I just finished it over the weekend, and came around with some of the characters by the end, but yeah--if you want likeable characters, this is not the book for it! The length probably didn't help. Since you did finish it, maybe check out the #CampLitsy2024 discussion in a couple weeks! 5d

monkeygirlsmama @BarbaraJean I'm definitely glad I stuck it out. I did enjoy aspects of it! And the foods almost all made my mouth water and stomach growl. Hehe 5d

I have really been overthinking my summer reading. I‘ve gone through pretty much every summer reading guide that I know about, listened to all the podcasts, joined #camplitsy2024 and I‘ve tried to go through some of the “summer” books I already own, so I am ready!!! My list is 77 books long so far! 🤣🤣 To put in perspective, that‘s more books than I read last year. Anyway, the making of the list has been fun! Hopefully the reading is fun too!!!

I got so excited when I saw Butter was on Hoopla. I‘m so disappointed. I wish I understood the workings of Hoopla and my library. I don‘t know that we have enough…ANY German speakers in my area for there to be the German language audio.

Will I be forced to buy a copy so I can pretend to participate in #CampLitsy2024?

Prairiegirl_reading 😲 I would be sooo mad!!!! 1mo

Sace @Prairiegirl_reading and it‘s the only option. The library doesn‘t even have it. How odd that this random German language audio book is the one offering. 1mo

TheKidUpstairs I did the same today! It's so weird... 1mo

Sace @TheKidUpstairs Wait…so your hoopla only has the German version too? 🤔 1mo

TheKidUpstairs @Sace yup, mine too! 1mo

Sace So unfair! *pout* I‘m probably going to end up buying it. It sounds so interesting. 1mo

TheKidUpstairs @Sace I'm thinking I'll end up buying the digital copy (hardcover is just too expensive!). One of the libraries o belong to has a physical copy, but I'm 7th on the list so I doubt it'll get to me in time. 1mo

Sace @TheKidUpstairs I‘m torn between kindle and paperback. The kindle is less expensive but I do love reading physical books. 1mo

CBee I just looked at my Hoopla and the one I found is in German too 😂😂 1mo

BarbaraJean Same here--my Hoopla only has the German audio version. It must be something to do with what rights are available where at this point (and for how much)! My library does have audio and ebook versions available (through Libby/Overdrive)--but there's a 24-week wait on the audio and a 22-week wait on the ebook. 🙄 I'm 2nd in line for the print version, though! 🎉 (edited) 1mo

Sace @CBee Really wishing I had taken more German classes in college! (edited) 1mo

Sace @BarbaraJean it‘s funny how physical copies have shorter wait times. My daughter has had similar experiences with her library. 1mo

Chelsea.Poole Hi all @CBee @Sace @TheKidUpstairs @BarbaraJean — librarian here 👋 the way hoopla works for most libraries: there‘s an Instant Borrow catalog which borrowers have access to: anything at all on the platform (unless your library suppresses certain titles/formats/$/etc) Certain publishers work with hoopla to allow their titles to be sold there. Libraries do *not* select certain titles for that platform like Libby/the physical library. More ⬇️ 1mo

Chelsea.Poole So there ends up being random stuff there that wouldn‘t be of local interest to your library system, but since it‘s a part of the offerings from the publishers hoopla works with, it shows up in the catalog. Theres really great titles there but also some low quality content that comes along with it. Also, there is a new program hoopla offers called “flex titles” where libraries can purchase titles but users have to wait for them like Libby. 1mo

Sace @Chelsea.Poole thanks for the explanation! 1mo

CBee @Sace my hubby speaks German. I‘ll have him read it and translate 😂😂 1mo

CBee @Chelsea.Poole thank you ♥️ 1mo

Sace @CBee I am jealous! 🤣 1mo

Chelsea.Poole @CBee record him—audio for us English speakers lol. 1mo

CBee @Chelsea.Poole haha he would look at me like I was crazy if I asked him 😂😂 He isn‘t much of a reader these days. 1mo

CBee @Sace he‘s pretty cool ♥️ 1mo

julesG I should get hoopla. 😬 1mo

Sace @julesG yes. And then record a translation for us 🤣 🤣 🤣. 1mo

Suet624 Thanks for the explanation @Chelsea.Poole 1mo

julesG It would be easier to just read the eBook out loud. 😉😉 1mo
