Excited for #CampLitsy23! Thanks so much @BarbaraBB @Megabooks @squirrelbrain for hosting again! It‘s hard to choose, but here are six books from my current TBR. 📚

Ruthiella Great list! I definitely am down for reading another book from Cline and I‘ve never read any Brandon Taylor and want to rectify that. 😀 2y
Cinfhen Ohhhhh, a few I haven‘t even heard of! Exciting 😁 2y
sarahbarnes @Cinfhen my favorite thing is seeing everyone‘s lists and adding MORE books to my TBR! 😁 2y

BarbaraBB I am tempted to vote blindly for all you nominate 😉 2y
sarahbarnes @BarbaraBB likewise! And I just learned there‘s a new Levy and Erpenbeck from your list! 😃 Very exciting. 2y
squirrelbrain Great choices! I‘ve read two (on the left) and both would make for great discussion points. Off to investigate the two I haven‘t heard of….. 2y
Megabooks Brutes has caught my eye before, but I haven‘t heard of Dykette! Fantastic nominees! 2y
batsy Nice! I have Brutes and The Laughter on my radar and off to investigate Dykette. 2y

It's been forever since I watched the show so I can't say with any real certainty that the show wasn't problematic but the book definitely is. There's a lot of uncomfortable conversations here regarding race, sexuality and class which aren't handled or addressed well.

I did enjoy Kim and Stella's relationship and the whole family dynamic and while this book is very readable, it hasn't stood the test of time.

Yes, please. Except at my camp you could also read on the dock, in the woods, in a hammock, wherever you'd like. Let's read in Nature!

Jaimelire I just posted this exact same thing on my book club page! (edited) 3y
monalyisha I almost enthusiastically shared this but, tbh, I would rather be sleeping once it‘s dark. 🙈😂 How about a chat over an early dinner? 😆 Or perhaps a sunset BYO Book Club? 3y
TheKidUpstairs @monalyisha I'm very much down for sunset book chat on the dock with a drink of your choice 3y

monalyisha @TheKidUpstairs PERFECT. Imagine if we really made this a Litsy Summer Camp/vacation? What a fun dream! 3y
TheKidUpstairs @monalyisha it would make such a fantastic reading retreat! 3y
TheKidUpstairs @Jaimelire isn't it awesome? 3y
jimfields3 I‘d sign up! 3y

#LitsySummerCamp

Elizabeth Bennet would lead all the morning (& afternoon & evening) hikes & nature walks. Jane is a senior counselor & in her free time she writes her mother letters & dreams of young men with happy manners. Lydia would lead the girls sneaking over to the boy‘s camp at night & Kitty would follow her, paddling the 2nd canoe & almost giving them away with her cough. Mary would sign up (three times) for the talent show.

More… ⬇️

DebinHawaii … Since the #PemberLittens are reading Persuasion this month, Anne Elliot is at camp too. She would let herself be signed up for KP duty in the dining hall & then get made a junior camp counselor to watch the younger kids while their counselors go out & have fun. 3y
Susanita Poor Mary. 😬 3y
MaureenMc 😂 Kitty! But she doesn‘t cough for her own amusement! 3y

1️⃣ Ummmm... I don't. ? Definitely hotel for me!
2️⃣ Camp Coffee. ☕
3️⃣ The Hunger Games trilogy takes place mostly "outside" - if the done is considered outside.
4️⃣ Not really. Just read as much as I can! It's my last week teaching a summer course, so it will be a bit busy, but 'thons keep me motivated!

I love both tent and cabin camping- but with RA Im using cabins for my escapes into the “wilderness”. I would like to camp in a yurt some day.
2. Camp Enchanting Erudition
3. I did love A Walk In The Woods
4. My goal is to read every evening until I fall asleep- no tv or distractions.

Also I found this fun link to books: https://www.backpacker.com/stories/10-outdoor-books-everyone-should-read/

ChasingOm Thank you for the list! Some girlfriends and I have been camping the WV State Parks this year — we‘re heading to Twin Falls next weekend. 😄 3y
ImperfectCJ A Walk in the Woods was one I was considering for my responses. I really enjoyed that one. Thanks for the outdoor books link! Even more for my TBR. :-) Glad to have you at camp! 3y
sharread Love the camp name. 3y

Chrissyreadit @ChasingOm I‘m camping WV state parks too! Have been to blackwater falls and lost River so far. Am trying to decide next spot. What is your favorite? 3y
ChasingOm We did Blackwater Falls last year! This year we‘ve done Kanawha State and Beech Fork so far — of those two, I‘d say Kanawha State, but I‘m really looking forward to Twin Falls. 😄 3y
Chrissyreadit @ChasingOm nice! I‘m hoping to go to Blennerhassett Island but May actually go back to Lost River. 3y

Caught wind of this just in time! I'm terrible at setting my own goals for a 'thon, but I'll think about it & post later! Thanks for hosting, @ImperfectCJ ! This sounds like a lot of fun. #litsysummercamp
