Buying Power: A History of Consumer Activism in America | Lawrence B. Glickman

Didn‘t read much while I was away, but I managed to pick up a bunch of new titles🤓

Bklover You got some good stuff! You‘ll have to let us know how the Love Songs of W.E.B DuBois is. Sounds like a good one. It must be good to be home- sounds like you had a wonderful time though! ❤️ 3y

Cinfhen Thanks @Bklover 💕💕💕I‘ll let you know how it is

The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois

Cinfhen A few are #chunky @KarenUK @TrishB I‘m getting ready to settle down for winter 😁 3y

Megabooks Excellent choices!! Crossroads, Bewilderment, and Anthropocene are top picks for the whole year for me!! Glad you‘re home AND that you had an amazing time!! 💕💕💕 3y

CarolynM Great haul! 3y

Cinfhen Thanks @CarolynM @Megabooks if only I had the headspace for any of them 🤪 3y

Cinfhen So….some of these titles might be making an appearance for #Booked2022 @Megabooks 😉you‘ll have to wait & see xx 3y

Megabooks @Cinfhen but are you going to be able to hold out that long?? 3y

Cinfhen I know……we‘ll see @Megabooks 3y

All Creatures Great and Small | James Herriot

#WeeklyForecast

I‘m going to continue the buddy read of Four Hundred Souls. And the tagged on audio. I want to finish Gender Games and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I want to start Great Circle

Cinfhen

Cinfhen I didn‘t realize how #CHUNKY this book is…. I

Great Circle

Cinfhen I need to reevaluate my desire to read/listen - the audio is 25+ hours!!!! 3y

Cinfhen Thanks @shawnmooney but I‘ve become more of an #InstantGratification kind of girl 😉I can‘t commit to anything over 12 hours😝😳😘 Have you read the book? What‘s the word on BookTube?? Should I bust my neck and pick up

Great Circle

AnneCecilie @Cinfhen Eric Karl Anderson made an entire video about this book talking about how great it is. That video pumped this book up my tbr. 3y

Cinfhen I‘ll be watching your review, Anne 😄🙌🏻💕keep me posted, please!! 3y

Cinfhen EKA is adorable but we don‘t always agree on his book choices🤷🏼‍♀️ 3y

shawnmooney @Cinfhen Did you know that I‘m reading the entire Booker long list this year!? It‘s because Shuggie Bain won last year. Which was my top read of 2020. I‘ve heard very mixed reviews of Great Circle, but I think it might be a Shawn book. 😍😍 3y

Cinfhen Ohhhhh right!!! I totally forgot @shawnmooney How‘s it going?? Any bails??? Any favorites??? 3y

The Queen's Confession: A Fictional Autobiography | Victoria Holt

Thanks to everyone for your book recommendations! My pre-Euro trip stack keeps growing and shifting, with a heavy emphasis on Versailles 😆 Now if only Winky would stop gnawing and I could decide where to start...

ju.ca.no Winky💕 5y

Nute The CUTEST photo! 5y

ravenlee I think Winky votes for the top to start. 5y

kspenmoll Winky is caught!!! Sweetie!!! 5y

Leftcoastzen 😻I need to read more Zola ! 5y

Cinfhen I just posted a recommendation in case you want to add one more to your pile...it‘s banana pants but pretty fascinating

Little: A Novel

jenniferw88 @Cinfhen @emilyhaldi or if you fancy less magical realism and a more accurate portrayal of the French Revolution and Madame Tussaud's role, try

Madame Tussaud: A Novel of the French Revolution

Reviewsbylola Winky‘s such a little bitch. 😂 #paralondis 5y

TK-421 Adorable! 😹😻 5y

AmyG Awwwww. My cat loved to rub against book cover corners. ❤️ 5y

Cinfhen @jenniferw88 I think you suggested that book before...I‘m curious but I think it was a #chunky 🤔😰 5y

jenniferw88 @Cinfhen yeah, it is a #chunky! If you get on with Wolf Hall you should be ok - it actually has fewer pages! (Wolf has 604, Tussaud has 446!) 5y

LeahBergen Make sure you read The Queen‘s Confession BEFORE the Antoinette biography. The novel is quite “history light” but I found it really good for whetting my appetite for more French history. 😃 5y

emilyhaldi Little sounds good!!! @Cinfhen I put a request in at my library 🤗 5y

sumaiyya.books I love your cat 😹🖤 5y

Assassin's Apprentice: The Farseer Trilogy | Robin Hobb

#wontgetfooledagain #marchintothe70s
The Fool is one of the MCs in this series (pic is the first trilogy) non gender specific and Hobb writes them alternating as female/male in different books. Subject to endless discussion on fan forums.
One of my fav fantasy characters in my fav series.

Cinfhen, Lizpixie

Cinfhen If only they weren‘t so damn #CHUNKY 6y

TrishB @Cinfhen she is very wordy 😁 6y

Soubhiville Yes! I love The Fool and I love this series! 6y

Lizpixie My son loves this series. I‘ve tried twice to get into them but I just couldn‘t get past the first book🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y

TrishB @Lizpixie the first one is very slow. It‘s a bit like getting past The Gunslinger....but so worth it! 6y

The Tender Bar: A Memoir | J. R. Moehringer

These are just a few of my #unforgettable books. Though I don‘t have the print copies handy at the moment for a photo, I would add A Man Called Ove, Between Shades of Gray, and The Nightingale to this list. #decdays

Cinfhen

Cinfhen My copy of A Tree Grows In Brooklyn arrived yesterday... it's a bit #chunky looking 😳 7y

Cinfhen These sound awesome! Stacking!!! Tender Bar &

britt_brooke I‘m reading Evelyn Hugo right now and I‘m having trouble putting it down! #booknerdproblems (edited) 7y

Hollie @Cinfhen it is such a lovely book. I hope you love it! Stick it next to The Heart‘s Invisible Furies and it will look much less chunky. 😉 7y

Hollie @Cinfhen We Got the Water is incredible. It blew me away even before I got to know the author‘s dad, who is the sweetest old man I‘ve ever met. He emailed me a couple weeks ago to thank me for being his friend and I cried 😢 7y

Hollie @britt_brooke I had that same problem!! 7y

erinreads Great choices! A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is one of my favorite books ever! Probably due for a reread soon. 💕 7y

Hollie @erinreads it is my all time favorite. I love rereading it, too! 7y

Cinfhen Awwww, now I really need to find that book and read it. I remember you organized an event around that book.....and that‘s when I originally stacked it ❣️ 7y

SilversReviews Good books here. 7y

Hollie Thank you! @SilversReviews 7y

Centique @Cinfhen @Hollie I think C will love A Tree Grows in Brooklyn too. It‘s wonderful 😍 7y

Cinfhen Thanks @Centique @Hollie it's on my list for #2018!!!!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 7y

#DecDays #Chunky books from my #TBR pile-that I've not had the gumption to read yet because of the page counts--but the tagged book is part graphic novel & goes back to the library next week so I'm going to try to start it this weekend & the Sedaris book I've started & mean to read it an essay at a time. Also I'm going to get chunky(er) after eating this cupcake but it is chocolate-peppermint (yum!) & yesterday was National Cupcake Day, so...😋🎄

Cinfhen

TheNextBook The last 3 books on that pile are all really damn good! 7y

Cinfhen Yowza😱 7y

amywithbooks NOS4A2 and Sleeping Beauties are 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 7y

Death of a Red Heroine | Qiu Xiaolong

pick

Finished this #chunky #crimson mystery and was left a bit shaken by the ending. It had more depth than most mysteries and blended life in communist China in the 90s with the homicide case. Party politics play into each aspect of life and the case. A slower read but worthwhile. #litsyatoz #letterX. Only one letter left in this challenge!! U is next. #decdays #seasonsreadings2017

RealLifeReading, Cinfhen

Lcsmcat You can do it! 7y

Blaire @Lcsmcat @Cinfhen thanks! One of the Updike rabbit books is my last one. Hope to read it this weekend! 😍 7y

Blaire @Ole hope you enjoy it! @RealLifeReading yes...it was a litsy recommendation and I‘m glad I picked it up. 7y

Blaire @SilversReviews thank you! 7y

writerlibrarian This is an awesome series. I have one also for my A to Z challenge that will run over to 2018. I'm not really good at timed challenges too many lovely books to distract me away. ☺️ 7y

Blaire @writerlibrarian I was very happy to have discovered. Will read more of the series. That‘s a good attitude toward the challenges I get really caught up on finishing and end up reading all challenge books in December. 😬 7y
