indiespensible

Final quote from this book which I liked because it really got to the heart of Romy for me.

Looking forward to your final thoughts on this one @ns510reads @ClairesReads @Redwritinghood #indiebuddyreads #indiespensible #manbooker2018

ns510reads I just finished! Distilling my thoughts atm because there is so much to think about! Will login to GR soon and see what you guys have had to say about it...on the desktop! ;) 6y

Redwritinghood Just finished it last night and have been mulling it over. I was very impressed with this book until about the last 50 pages and then she lost me a little. Interesting choices made by the author in terms of story structure here. 6y

The Mars Room: A Novel | Rachel Kushner

I‘m so behind on my #bookmail posts 😫

These three are from #powells #indiespensible book club last month.

Has anyone read Rachel Kushner?

sarahjane1077 I read The Flamethrowers and remember liking it. 7y

RidgewayGirl I really liked The Mars Room. It‘s bleak but Romy is so adaptable. 7y

Ruthiella Loved The Flamethrowers and really enjoyed her debut Telex from Cuba. Looking forward to reading The Mars Room. I have it on hold 😀 7y

JamieArc I received that tote from a book swap here on Litsy and LOVE it. I think it came from Powell‘s bookstore. 7y

Lacythebookworm @ralexist @YouReadMyEyes Indiespensible is Powell‘s Bookstore book subscription. It comes with a special edition signed book in a slipcover and an extra treat. This month it was the tote! 7y

YouReadMyEyes @Lacythebookworm Wow!!! I love Powell‘s. I am going to look into this; so cool. 7y

whatsthEStorey Great tote! 7y

Lacythebookworm @whatsthEStorey Thank you! 7y

Red Clocks: A Novel | Leni Zumas

Doing well - I‘ve not gone near my copy of the book ahead of the #botmbuddyreads in May. But it‘s hard to stay away from good press! Great article by Fiona Maazel in #Bookforum

Bkwurm Thanks for sharing this. I have this book on my list to read when it comes in my @Powells #Indiespensible box and I can't wait to get started! Maazel's review just made me want it more! 7y

The Burning Girl: A Novel | Claire Messud

While nothing alike in style, I enjoyed the juxtaposition of reading this shortly after reading Little Fires Everywhere. The relationship between Julia and Cassie brought back memories of my "defining friendship." Very quiet, enjoyable read from #indiespensible.

Cinfhen Great review! Looking forward to reading this book! 7y

Lacythebookworm @Cinfhen I hope you enjoy it! It's a pretty quick read. 7y

Stephen Florida | Gabe Habash

Bookmail! The latest #indiespensible has arrived! This one is a bit different from what I would choose, so we'll see what I think. The included short story collection galley looks interesting.

RealBooks4ever Looking forward to hearing what you think of this book! 😺 8y

Borne: A Novel | Jeff VanderMeer

The latest #indiespensible has arrived! I'm quite curious/excited about this one. The bonus book is an uncorrected proof of a haunted house story. So cool!

JenP Still waiting for mine to arrive. 8y

Suet624 Waiting over here too. 8y

swishandflick Cool covers! 8y

Hooked_on_books @JenP @Suet624 I have the advantage of proximity--I'm only about an hour and a half drive from Powell's. Should I hold off on the post for a couple of days with future shipments to avoid spoilers? (And sorry--I hadn't thought about that.) 8y

JenP @Hooked_on_books I already looked up which main book was in the order so the spoilers don't bother me. I started doing that bc for several months in a row I ended up buying the book before the subscription arrived then ending up with two copies. I guess that show what a perfect subscription.it is for me (edited) 8y

Suet624 Ditto to the comment from @jenp. I research the book so I don't grab it from the library or bookstore. 8y

Karkar I am so excited for this issue! ❤️❤️😍😍 8y

Jokila What are those bonus treasures -- folder/notebook? 8y

Hooked_on_books @Jokila The purple thing is a hard sided protective sleeve for the book, which they always include (the book is a signed first edition). The little booklet is an interview with the author and often some extra tidbits about the book. 8y

Jokila Awesome! I'm jealous! The sleeves beautiful and plus you get SECRETS 😱 8y
