cozypunk What is the SerialReader app? Can you describe it a bit? 5y

bibliobliss @DWpalooza Serial Reader is an app that doles out daily installments of classic literature. Every day, you receive a bite-sized portion of what you're reading; it's great for those classic doorstopper novels like "War and Peace" and "Les Miserables" @SerialReader 5y

cozypunk @Readage That sounds fantastic! Thanks for the lead. 5y

bibliobliss @DWpalooza Of course; enjoy!! 5y

A Court of Mist and Fury | Sarah J. Maas

“So I‘m your huntress and thief?”
His hands slid down to cup the backs of my knees as he said with a roguish grin, “You are my salvation, Feyre.”
✨✨✨
The moment when I knew this OTP was going to wreck me and I was fully prepared to sink with this ship.

The Swan Thieves: A Novel | Elizabeth Kostova

Like, OMG, I had to take a #shelfie! So, this is the other side of our #schoolmarm desk's middle shelf up close. Only three are mine, all the rest I bought for @BookBabe for her bday or Christmas or just because 😍😻. Any particular titles stick out to you? Any superbs and any meh's?

MicheleinPhilly In Cold Blood, Shine Shine Shine and To Kill a Mockingbird are all ACES. I thought reading Smilla's Sense of Snow was pure torture. 8y

ErikasMindfulShelf I really like

The Swan Thieves: A Novel

TheLondonBookworm I'm liking the sound of Swan Thieves!! 8y

Dogearedcopy I listened to 'In Cold Blood' (narrated by Scott Brick) and it is one of my all-time favorite books & audio! It's narrative non-fiction re the KBI's investigation of the Clutter family murders; and concludes with a thought provoking section on capital punishment (still within the narrative.)

In Cold Blood

Dogearedcopy It's been ages and ages since I read/listened to 'Smilla's Sense of Snow' I had the honor of being the studio engineer of the now OOP audio narrated by the late, great Ralph Cosham. If I could find a copy of that audio, I would definitely re-listen 😊

Smilla's Sense of Snow

[DELETED] 2232195534 The Mirror by Marlys Millhiser is one of my fave books ever. Read it in my late teens and it was so unique to me at that time. 8y

Dogearedcopy And yet *another* audio-related recommendation, TKAM (narrated by Sissy Spacek) is one of the all-time great audiobooks! I had, of course, read it in print in high school (and didn't much care for it); but listening to it as an adult opened up that book for me on unexpected ways (I could "see" the structure and themes that were not obvious to me before) and SS's performance is impressive.

To Kill a Mockingbird

Dogearedcopy I was only "meh" on 'Hell House.' The masterwork is Shirley Jackson's 'The Haunting of Hill House.' All other haunted house stories seem like derivative and weak by comparison.

The Haunting of Hill House

HotTeaGoodBooks Oh, I had forgotten about The Swan Thieves! That was a good book. And now I'm reminded why The a Historian is on my shelf as well. Must get to that one... 8y

DGRachel @Dogearedcopy - I second the TKAM audiobook recommendation. Sissy Spacek was fantastic! 8y

kspenmoll TKAM - Every year when I co-teach this novel learn something new from my students- In Cold Blood read years ago but audio sounds like a reason to reacquaint myself with the book. @Dogearedcopy @DGRachel 8y

BarbaraJean @ddevalco The Historian is amazing! I read it before The Swan Thieves... and I think I like it better. 8y

OrangeMooseReads To Kill a Mockingbird and In Cold Blood. It's always good to see those friends together. 8y

Melkyl Yes on TKAM and In Cold Blood! 8y

LeahBergen @OrangeMooseReads Just like when Harper Lee and Truman Capote lived side-by-side as children in Monroeville, Alabama 😍 8y

LeslieO That's a good shelf. Smilla's Sense of Snow has been in my TBR pile for awhile. Enjoyed the Swan Thieves. 8y

Tanner I enjoyed Shine Shine Shine. 8y

ApoptyGina69 One I LOVED The Historian too. 8y

MrBook @MicheleinPhilly @irre @Dogearedcopy @kaysreadinglife @DGRachel @kspenmoll @BarbaraJean @OrangeMooseReads @Melwilk @LeslieO @ApoptyGina69 😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you all for the great insight and #recs! The world was not complete until I met everyone here on @Litsy ☺️🙌🏻! @OrangeMooseReads @LeahBergen I concur! But then again, it is you two, so it doesn't seem possible to disagree 😎👌🏻! @TheLondonBookworm Me too! I'm going to have to read it 😊. 8y

Immortal Wife: The Biographical Novel of Jessie Benton Fremont | Irving Stone

#VintageEdition posting ?! 3 #firstedition books by the legendary Irving Stone! "The Immortal Wife" is 1944, "The Passionate Journey" from 1949, and "The Passions of the Mind" from 1971. Good thing I can understand Greek numerals sufficiently enough ?. Can't wait to get to these someday soon! Any Irving Stone fans in the #LitsyUniverse?

LauraBeth These are awesome! Lust For Life was good 👍 8y

marixa Loved this one about Michelangelo

The Agony And The Ecstasy

ApoptyGina69 I really love all the Irving Stone I've read. As mentioned already and are standouts. I can also recommend about Darwin. I own a few others that I haven't read yet. Thanks for the reminder.

The Origin: A Biographical Novel of Charles Darwin

See All 12 Comments

ApoptyGina69 Hmm-I didn't know how to use the book tags, so the above reads weird. Let's try that again: Lust for Life is about Van Gogh; also made into a film. Both great. The Agony and the Ecstasy about Michelangelo is my favorite. The Origin is about the life and travels of Charles Darwin. All of Stone's Historical fiction has stayed with me and points one toward further non-fiction study. 8y

MrBook @LauraBeth Thank you 😊! Lust is November selection for #ThePoconoBookClub 😁👍🏻! @marixa On my TBR 😁👍🏻! @ApoptyGina69 Awesome choices! Added 😊👍🏻! And you're welcome! You've helped me with other great #recs, so if I can provide a reminder, I'm on my way toward full recompense 😎👌🏻. 8y

SusanInTiburon I've only read the Michelangelo and the Van Gogh; liked them both. Especially Michelangelo. 8y

MrBook @SusanInTiburon 😁👍🏻 8y

[DELETED] 2232195534 I've not read these, but I did read The President's Lady many years ago and loved it. About Rachel and Andrew Jackson. I have a great fondness for reading about First Ladies. 😀 8y

MrBook @kaysreadinglife Niiiice! 😁👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻! 8y

DivineDiana @kaysreadinglife As do I, will add President's Lady to my TBR! 8y

quirkyreader I loved the books he wrote about Van Gogh and Michelango. 8y
