The Greatest Love Story Ever Told: An Oral History | Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally

so-so

I love both Nick and Megan, and this is a quirky oral relationship history. I might not have been in the mood for a celebrity memoir, since I found the narrative boring at times.

I do 💜 that their favorite way to spend time together is listening to audiobooks while working on 🧩 puzzles. 💕💕

MissAimz_55 Are they the narrators as well?? 5y

alisiakae @MissAimz_55 Yes! I‘m not sure how this works as a physical book, because it reads like a back and forth conversation. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Good call for this prompt! I love #audiopuzzling too. 5y

The Cruel Prince | Holly Black

pick

This book has all the things I ❤️ , and it was bloody marvelous. Emphasis on bloody! Set in the land of Faerie, where the most beautiful objects can kill a human in no time. The political intrigue makes American politics look like a play yard sandbox. Jude is an interesting and complex heroine. My only gripe is the hint of “he‘s so mean because he likes her” trope, but it‘s more complicated than that, so I could overlook it. #MountTBR

alisiakae This filled a LOT of prompts. #BBRC #seriesstarter #teenangst; #MarchUnshelfie book 1/3, #Booked2020 #CoverCrush, & because of the political mystery and intrigue in this fantasy world I count it for #Twins #mandmreadingchallenge (Jude has a twin sister Taryn). Also #pop20 author with flora or fauna in name. @LibrarianRyan @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen @Clwojick 5y

The Thief of Lanwyn Manor | Sarah E. Ladd

pick

Julia heads to Lanwyn Manor to act as companion to her bedridden, pregnant cousin. Of course, intrigue and danger arrive with her. Legends fill the house with a sinister air, tempers flare from mining-related struggles, and Julia becomes caught in the romantic intentions of the Blake twins.

Ladd allows the story around Julia to unfold with ease—and a couple great twists—making it a delightful combination of mystery and romance. #jumpstart2020

hes7 (I received a free copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.) 5y

alisiakae Is this a mystery with twins in it? I have been trying to figure out a book for the #twins prompt for @BarbaraTheBibliophage #mandmreadingchallenge and it sounds like this would work! 🙌🏽 5y

hes7 @4thhouseontheleft Yeah, I think it could work—though it is more of a plot that has some mystery than a “mystery,” if that makes sense. Some others that could work are Arrowood (McHugh), Two Can Keep a Secret (McManus), and The Thirteenth Tale (Setterfield). 5y

robinb A thumbs up for me too! 👍 🙂 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft I say go for it! This is my plan for that prompt.

March: Book Three | Andrew Aydin, John Lewis

pick

A stunning conclusion to the March trilogy. This one covers the time period from the Birmingham church bombing to the passage of the Voting Rights Act.

These books are a gift, and I am grateful to John Lewis for sharing his memories and experiences. A difficult read at any time, even more so under the shadow of the Charlottesville Unite the Right White supremacist rally, rollbacks to the 🗳 Rights Act, and the current POTUS.🤮 #nonfiction2020

alisiakae Fulfills #votingrights for #nonfiction2020 and #POCauthor for #mandmreadingchallenge @BarbaraTheBibliophage 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Yes to all of that and excellent review! 5y

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards I was excited that this was the First-Year Book the last time I taught freshman composition--it's so useful for teaching rhetorical appeals and visual analysis! 5y
