All You Can Ever Know: A Memoir | Nicole Chung

Hello! I just joined Litsy and I thought I would introduce myself through these three recent reads. Each of these reads were assigned for my Literary Journalism class which focused on the public health narrative. Although I enjoy reading nonfiction for my major, I‘m now on summer break and want to read other genres! Comment what your current favorite is or simply say hello. #newmember #theimmortallifeofhenriettalacks #thespiritcatchesyou

MallenNC That‘s a great way to introduce yourself! I‘ve read the top two of those books and the third one is on my TBR. I read a lot of nonfiction, but I am guessing you‘d like a break from that! If you like YA, I recently really liked There‘s Something About Sweetie. I also liked The Accidental Beauty Queen. Both are fun, easy reads. 5y

justanotherbookreader You definitely should read All You Can Ever Know by Nicole Chung. The writing style is very different to the other two books. She writes as if it is her own journal and she is just pouring out her emotions and experiences on the pages. The other two books, as you know, go back and forth between research and the actual individuals story. I‘m always down for nonfiction but want to switch things up at the moment. 😊 Thank you for the suggestions! 5y

MallenNC @justanotherbookreader I will read All You Can Ever Know for sure! I heard an interview with her and was interested in her story. 5y

AmyK1 Welcome to Litsy! If you like historical fiction I just finished The Invention of Wings and really liked it. Calling Me Home is another really good one. 5y

justanotherbookreader @MayaB1226 Thank you so much! Glad to be here. 😊 5y

justanotherbookreader @AmyK1 Ooooh I‘m always down for historical fiction. I‘ll add those to my TBR on Goodreads. Thank you so much! What are you currently reading? 5y

justanotherbookreader @AmyK1 Btw, who is the author for Calling Me Home? There are a few different books by that title on Goodreads. 5y

AmyK1 @justanotherbookreader Calling Me Home is by Julie Kibler. Right now I‘m reading Lessons from a Third Grade Dropout, recommended by my dad. I‘m not liking it as much as he did. When I finish this I‘m starting The Last Year of the War. 5y

FantasyDreams My fav genre is fantasy (think witches, elves, vampires,... that sort of thing) but my fav author is Stephen King, hands down. So far I loved Bag of Bones and The Eyes of the Dragon. 5y

Curiouser_and_curiouser Hi and welcome to Litsy!! I'm a bit of a newbie too, hope you make lots of litten friends whilst you're here and enjoy browsing through posts. I think my fave genres are historical fiction and non fiction, biographies, classics and hard lived childhoods, if that's a genre 5y

justanotherbookreader @FantasyDreams Ooooh Stephen King. 😧 I‘m like so nervous to read his work. How was your reading experience of The Eyes of the Dragoon and Bag of Bones? I just imagine constantly being on the edge of my seat with his work. 😅 5y

justanotherbookreader @Curiouser_and_curiouser Aww thank you so much! I‘m definitely excited to make friends who are all about that book life. 😁 and I think hard lived childhoods could fall under any category really. Just depends if you want nonfiction or fiction. 5y

FantasyDreams @justanotherbookreader The Eyes of the Dragon I couldn‘t put down! Bag of Bones I had to put down and do something else every once in a while (no more than a day) because it gets a little under your skin because it gets a bit creepy. Once I had about 250 pages left, I just couldn‘t put it down. I finished at around 2am and I was totally creeped out. Don‘t read it at night! Lol. 5y

FantasyDreams @justanotherbookreader Also, fair warning, most of his books can take anywhere from 50-200 pages to get interesting because he explains the. Background, scene, time, etc in a very good way IMO 5y

justanotherbookreader @FantasyDreams Thank you for the heads up. That probably explains why his book IT is so long!! Have you seen that book in person? It‘s beastly! I‘ll add those two books to my goodreads. 😊 Perfect for the Halloween season. 🥰 5y

FantasyDreams @justanotherbookreader IT was really good. I‘m so happy they‘re remaking the movie. Part 1 did the book so much more justice than the first version. 5y

amok Hi, such an original way to introduce yourself!! I prefer fiction but every now and then I try to read non-fiction. Maybe you can be my guide here? I enjoyed Michelle Obama's biography enormously. For your summer reads; you might enjoy: The Gustav Sonata by Rose Tremain. Very moving story about two young boys growing up and learning about love and friendship. Or House Rules by Jodi Picoult. 5y

sarahs.thoughts.on.books Welcome. Though my profile probably says I've been here for a while, I'll fairly new too. Not sure how to navigate this, but I also love that I'm not always alone in book opinions 5y
