John Adams | David McCullough

My dad finally came home from the hospital this past Friday. But, recovery will be slow, and the doctors are recommending chemo. So, a lot to process, but I am truly thankful to such a wonderful Litsy community who has been extremely supportive!

I want to read one of my dad‘s favorite books, one he‘s wanted me to read for awhile now. Anyone interested in a #buddyread of this? I‘d like to start Sept 1. It‘s big! I‘ll call this #jaread .

Librarybelle And, to those who expressed interest in a historical fiction round robin - I may put that idea off for a bit. I‘m only now getting interested in reading again, much thanks to the readathon this weekend! It probably won‘t happen this fall. #hfswap 7y

Reading Historical Fiction: The Revenant and Remembered Past | Kate Mitchell, Nicola Parsons

I‘m involved in a few round robins, sending off books to the next recipient and reading some fun books, a few of which I would not pick up on my own.

I was wondering...any interest in a historical fiction round robin? Pick a book, grab a journal, jot down thoughts of the book, then send to the next person. If there is interest, I‘ll create a Google form and start collecting names. I‘m thinking to start this in the fall. Let me know! #hfswap

CouronneDhiver International or US only? 7y

BookishTrish Available to Canadians? 7y

erzascarletbookgasm If there‘s enough interest for international, I‘m in. 7y

Librarybelle @CouronneDhiver @BookishTrish @erzascarletbookgasm I think it would depend upon interest level. I would think there could be a US Only group and an international group, since it would be nice for everyone who wanted to to participate, but knowing the cost of mailing items internationally could be very expensive. Just gauging interest at the moment! (edited) 7y

Wife I would be interested. I like the “mark up” style, instead of notebooks if that makes a difference. 7y

Librarybelle Thanks, @Wife ! I‘ll keep you posted! 👍❤️ 7y

cathysaid Sounds interesting...and similar to #travellingbook 7y

Librarybelle Yes, @cathysaid ...similar. I‘m already in a mystery group, a teen group and a classics group. The more the merrier?!? (edited) 7y

Lmstraubie This is very intriguing & I love historical fiction 🙂 7y

ferskner I'm interested! Although I often have complaints about historical fiction... :) 7y
