#camptob2022 #summercampsuggestions2022

So difficult to choose, as many of the ‘best of‘ lists only include well-known authors. Instead, I looked on #netgalley, which wasn‘t good for my TBRor my %!

I already have the Straub on #netgalley and the Kukafka has been on my radar for a while, and is also on Barbara‘s list. The others were all influenced by #covercrush and there is a bit of a theme of dysfunctional families…. Must be my thing! 🤣

Cinfhen Excited by all these possibilities 😄 2y
Chelsea.Poole I agree. These covers are 😍 I‘ve read Notes on an Execution and loved it! Curious about your other picks. 2y
merelybookish These look great! So many new-to-me! I am especially curious about Utopia. 2y

thebluestocking I love the idea of heading to Netgalley. These look great! I struggled with finding books that wouldn‘t be up for the rooster anyway, so I went with nonfiction. I loved that camp year. 2y
vivastory Great suggestions! I have been meaning to read Straub 2y
batsy These look interesting and I'm keen to discover them. The Utopia cover is especially intriguing! 2y
Ruthiella I‘d gladly read all these! I really like the idea too of reading around a certain theme. 2y
BarbaraBB Such great choices l. Like @batsy I love the Utopia cover and I have a thing for dysfunctional families too 😉😘 2y
Megabooks Interesting list that I‘m mostly not familiar with. 💜 2y
sarahbarnes I love that you picked netgalleys because none of these are on my list yet! Thank you! 2y
squirrelbrain I‘ve applied for the ones that I didn‘t yet have @sarahbarnes - and got ‘I‘m Sorry You Feel that Way‘ on #netgalley today - yay! 2y
sarahbarnes Woohoo! That one and Utopia sound really interesting! 2y

I used The Millions “most anticipated” book list and whittled it down to these for the Tournament of Books Summer Camp 2022. I don‘t read a lot of front list books, so it was a bit of a struggle to choose but now I‘m totally excited to see what makes the cut! 🐓

#CampToB2022 #SummerCampSuggestions2022

BarbaraBB This is great! I didn‘t know about a new Dan Chaon but am thrilled about it! I was thinking too of the Flamingo‘s. I read How High and didn‘t really enjoy it but I am a minority there. The other books I‘ll have to check out! (edited) 2y
Ruthiella @BarbaraBB I loved Chaon‘s Ill Will and have been meaning to read more from him ever since! 2y
squirrelbrain I loved Flamingo. I *nearly* included the Bervoets on my list -sounds good doesn‘t it? Will post mine soonish…. 2y

Ruthiella @squirrelbrain I picked Flamingo because your review on Litsy made me want to read it! 😃 2y
Cinfhen Ohhh, Im definitely getting excited about ALL the possibilities for #CampToB22 - I need to look into a few of these titles that I‘m unfamiliar with🤓Thanks for tagging me 😊 2y
rockpools This hashtag is going to seriously damage all of our TBRs! So many I haven‘t come across yet - and True Biz which I‘m really excited for. 2y
BarbaraBB @Ruthiella I loved Ill Will too! And I only now see that you included Hannah Bervoets (thanks to @squirrelbrain comment!). That novella is good! (edited) 2y
BarbaraBB @rockpools You are so right 🤣🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y
Chelsea.Poole I JUST started True Biz, like 5 minutes ago. Loved How High and interested in Flamingo. Thanks for tagging me! And I agree @rockpools this hashtag could disrupt my reading plans BIG TIME 😆 📚 2y
merelybookish There are so many books!! Stacking Flamingo! 2y
Soubhiville @Chelsea.Poole @rockpools I‘m getting sucked into this hashtag too! 2y
RidgewayGirl I used the same list and also named Sleepwalk. I‘m reading it now and it‘s weird and fascinating. (edited) 2y
thebluestocking I love the Millions‘ lists. This looks like great line up!! 2y
BkClubCare 🦩 2y
vivastory It's always interesting to see the overlap & the divergence between The Millions list & Lit Hub's list. Great selections! 2y
Ruthiella @rockpools Indeed! Excitement about the TOB in all its various forms always blows up my TBR! 😂 2y
Ruthiella @Chelsea.Poole Glad to have your support for Flamingo and How High! Now let‘s see what I can squeeze in before the votes are tallied! 2y
Ruthiella @merelybookish So many books! The choices are pleasantly overwhelming. 😃 2y
Ruthiella @Soubhiville The more the merrier! 👍 2y
Ruthiella @RidgewayGirl I expect nothing less than weird and fascinating from Chaon. Ill Will creeped me out! 😱 2y
Ruthiella @thebluestocking The Millions really does us readers a service listing all the upcoming books! 2y
Ruthiella @vivastory Thanks for the tip! I‘ll put Lit Hub in my back pocket for later use! 2y
Megabooks I‘m excited to read Flamingo! It‘s a blame it on @squirrelbrain for me too. 😂 2y
Ruthiella @Megabooks @squirrelbrain With great power comes great responsibility! 😆 2y
squirrelbrain Eek @Megabooks @Ruthiella - now I‘m scared you won‘t like it! 😳 2y
Ruthiella @squirrelbrain No worries! 😊 I also get nervous when I recommend a book I love to another reader. 2y
Well-ReadNeck Sleepwalk definitely gives me ToB vibes!!!! 2y
Ruthiella @Well-ReadNeck Excellent! I hope it gets picked . 2y

I‘ve read one but I think it‘ll make for good discussion - the others I‘m curious about and I might have an #ARC or two 😉

I‘m curious to see what the final list will look like 🤩

Thanks for encouraging us to post our ideas @BarbaraBB #CampDirectorExtraordinaire xxx

BarbaraBB Haha that hashtag ⬆️😘. I have to check out the 4 books I don‘t know! Of course I have your first one on my list as well and I was thinking of suggesting this one too since @britt_brooke reviewed it 2y
Cinfhen I have an ARC for that one ( Zevin) & the Brooks @BarbaraBB so I‘m hoping they‘ll both be chosen (edited) 2y
Cinfhen And I requested this one because the title drew me in….and he‘s a debut author 2y

squirrelbrain I‘ve only heard of one of these (the first one). I‘ll go check out the rest…. 2y
Ruthiella I‘ve not heard of ANY of these and only know one of the authors (Brooks). I would be totally OK with these were they selected for Summer Camp! 👍 I rely on the TOB to introduce me to new stuff. 2y
Cinfhen I hope you guys will share your #SummerCampSuggestions too @squirrelbrain @Ruthiella I‘m looking forward to #CamppToB22 2y
rockpools Ooh, there are some good looking books there! 2y
britt_brooke @BarbaraBB It‘s SO good. 💚 2y
Cinfhen Thanks @rockpools looks like we‘re in for some good summer reading 😘 2y
merelybookish More amazing books! 🤯 And I think Brooks would be a fun one to add to the TOB. I always enjoy her novels but tend to forget about how good she is. 2y
Megabooks What we do is on my TBR! Great list! 😘😘 2y
Cinfhen One of my favorite books is still this one @merelybookish 2y
Cinfhen I know!!!! SO MANY good books @Megabooks and I‘m pretty sure your library will have them all!!!!! 2y
