pickFor my #HoppingGnomedePlume book club. Not what I was expecting- it exceeded any ideas I had. Quite entertaining. Listening, tho, as delightful as the language is, makes bookclubbing reviews SO difficult; bought the tradeback edition for further study. Beowulf barely makes an appearance! #PurpleFlowers #Classic #CC50 #Oct2023
#BookSpinBingo Time! Jude is a #Classic on my #cc50 part2 list. I added this on a whim to my Sept list of 20 and now I “get” (have?) to read it!
What‘s better than receiving a postcard out of the blue and finding the referenced quote a few days later? Not much, a few things, maybe; these are the simple joys that delight. The universe reinforcing my reading choices! #CC50 #Cc50_part2
pickI so enjoyed this and needed this, too. Whipple is a favorite! I thought some the characters almost over the top — hard to believe they were from the same family. But oh! Can she capture the internal monologue of despair. (If only they would TALK to each other…)

Status Update Time: I had my first bingo ever since joining #BookSpinBingo! January top row. Looks like February will bring me MANY bingos 🎉
In other news, it‘s #LetterMo which means a few of you in this lovely Litsy space will be getting mail from me, I am devouring a #Persephone edition 😍 for #CC50, and I have 3 remaining TOB books yet: Subdivision, Echo Wife, and Copeland Cain. I‘m also joining in on a read of The History of Love.
Thank you to our host for the fun activity and my friend @La_Cori for inspiring the alteration of the image! I hope to listen to Matrix (for #TOB2022) and read print of the Baldwin (for #CC50). #BookSpinBingoJan2022
Does anyone have an opinion if Matrix could be considered “genre-blending”? I need to fit that category for the #ReadICT Challenge.
pickA tough read, really. Much more scholarly approach needed than an expectation of entertainment. The first third is all explanations of its discovery and place in history so it almost felt like nonfiction. #CC50 #ClassicsClub
#BookSpin November! Read for #DoubleSpin, actually
@TheAromaofBooks
pickI highly recommend reading AND listening to the Invisible Man #audiobook narrated fabulously by Joe Morton. #ClassicsClub #cc50 #Classic #NatlBookWinner 1952
#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks Column-4
(So close to Row-4 Bingo, too but don‘t have enough time to read Ask Again Yes AND my book club choice Anxious People.)
pickI finished a #BookSpin! It‘s the #DoubleSpin position on the #BookSpinBingo but I should be through both by the end of today. LOL
I know the story of Alice, of course, I think most people do, readerly people, any way. 😉 But I have no recollection of really READING this. And I expected it to be tedious. 😱 It was not! I enjoyed it. Whew, I feel so much better saying that outloud.
#ClassicsClub #CC50 #CC50_secondlist #FiftyClassicsin5Years
Looking forward to reading and listening to this for our #GreenMileAlong in April. And! Since this was pub‘d 25 years ago, I can include it in my #classicsclub50 #classics #50in5 #cc50 #kingalong #UncleStevie #readingwithfriends
