Showdown: Thurgood Marshall and the Supreme Court Nomination That Changed America | Wil Haygood

Reposting for @barking,adread
I can‘t believe it‘s that time of year again! What should the #hashtagbrigade read next year? We read chapter a day, and we can spread any book over a couple months, so don‘t be afraid to nominate a longer book. I‘ll hold the nominations for a couple weeks, and then open up the voting.

ElizaMarie I‘m kinda glad he is paranoid. He really needs to think things through before he does them 13h

dabbe Gee, what could he be paranoid about? A creature on the loose? A wife he has to make so the creature won't kill anyone else? No one to tell this to? Though one may forget that this entire story is being narrated by Walton as Victor is telling him his story. Why won't he tell Henry? I think Henry might understand. Might. 13h

Bookwormjillk Paranoid and kind of procrastinating too 12h

Sparklemn Frankie acts like he‘s the victim. As if! 10h

Happy Sunday, everyone. 🧡💜💛

Deblovestoread #1 Some new to me titles but some well loved books, too. Brought back great memories of reading to my kids. #2 So like Hillary‘s book co-written with Louise Penny and Bill‘s with James Patterson I wonder how much collaboration there is. I haven‘t read any of them so 🤷🏻‍♀️ #3 my first reading of Frankenstein was last year. Mind blown. Great articles 💙 1d

dabbe @Deblovestoread TY! #1: I saw a few that I need to still read! #2: IKR? I haven't read any either, so maybe I'll give one a try. #3 I just love FRANKENSTEIN. It still blows my mind to think that a 19-year-old wrote it. Just complete W🧟‍♂️W. We need a FRANKENSTEIN emoji. 🧡💜💛 1d

Brideshead Revisited | Evelyn Waugh

pick

This is yet another book that‘s been on my shelf forever… so long that I can‘t pin down the recommendation that originally prompted me to buy it. I wish I could remember, because that might offer me some direction on why I wanted to read it and what I might have gotten out of it!

This was beautifully written, the characters are richly drawn, and it left me cold. I actually kind of wanted to throw the book across the room at the end. ⤵️

BarkingMadRead

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) The sadness and nostalgia for a disappearing place and time didn‘t really land for me, because I found the characters so unlikable—and as such, the overarching themes of conversion and grace felt like too little, too late.

I‘m glad I read this with the #hashtagbrigade to glean from others‘ comments some of what I missed! Also, this checks off 1945 for the #192025 challenge. @Librarybelle 1d

Librarybelle I‘m glad that this was a #hashtagbrigade book! I‘m still reading it and am enjoying it. (edited) 1d

Centique I had some of the same feelings reading this a few years ago. Just didnt draw me in, as compared to something like The Go-Between - also in that whole “fall in love with a big house and a wealthy family genre” (genre I just made up!)

The Go-Between

Sparklemn I really hope the creature has followed him and Henry to England and left the family in peace. However, I fear their journey may not end well. (edited) 2d

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t think this is going to go well for Henry… 1d

Clare-Dragonfly “Make another one of the people who horrified and disgusted you” doesn‘t sound like the greatest plan, but I guess the creature didn‘t think of “treat me like a human being and introduce me to other people as one so they‘ll get used to me,” and anyway I don‘t think Victor would go for that after the creature killed William. 3d

Bookwormjillk Frank will do anything to avoid owning up to what he did in the first place 3d

BookwormAHN I wonder if he really would have left Victor alone if he had made him a wife. 3d

ElizaMarie This is the chapter where my feeling for the creature ends. 3d

peanutnine I can't help but feel sorry for him. Even though his victims did nothing wrong to him, he has only been shown the same unkindness 4d

dabbe @peanutnine IKR? The only way to wreak vengeance on Victor is to harm those he loves--just as Victor harmed him by completely ostracizing him. So sad! 😢 4d

Clare-Dragonfly I do feel bad for the creature—but I have no idea how he made the leap to burning the house down or murdering a child! 3d

KAO @Clare-Dragonfly I‘m with you! 3d

ElizaMarie So- I still kinda feel bad for him- but now he is taking it to far and it‘s harder to feel bad for him. Especially since he is able to communicate so well, I can‘t find him as a poor helpless creature. 3d

Sparklemn @ElizaMarie I feel the same way 3d

Bookwormjillk @ElizaMarie agree 3d
