Looking forward to #OutstandingOctober readathon! The weather has been fabulous the past 2 weeks in the Inland NW of USA so little time spent reading and little time w/ decent cell or internet. Need to catch up on #Scarathlon for #TeamBOOklovers! Need to read tagged—I‘m sucked in just 10 pages in! Want to finish Don‘t Fear the Reaper, Silver Nitrate and Beware the Woman. Weather is changing, time@for some cozy reading. @Andrew65

Andrew65 Great to have you with us, good luck 😁 13mo

Mehso-so

I read this a month ago for book club and I keep forgetting to post about it! There were moments in which I connected with this but I felt the most interesting part of the novel was the “lacuna”, the part that was left out.
My least favorite of Kingsolver‘s that I‘ve read and doesn‘t hold a candle to Demon Copperhead. Frieda Kahlo is an interesting secondary character, and I did like the setting but I cannot recommend this one.

Bailedbailed

I couldn‘t do it @Kshakal 😂 I kept trying to pick it back up, to get at least 35% in before bailing but I just had no interest in forcing myself through that. After doing a quick search online, I saw quite a few people felt this book was missing something and didn‘t feel as bad bailing. It just feels too disjointed and apathetic for me.

Kshakal Thanks for the update! 🤓 1y

Welcome to the time of year where all my photos will be taken on my very messy balcony. My SO picked my next #blindbook and it‘s a reread of The Lacuna. I read this book about 4 years ago and just remember being confused for most of it. After reading the first 30 pages, I can see why. Going to try to be intentional with slow reading this time to try to cancel some of that

Kshakal This is one of the few books I have dnf‘d in my life 1y
CollapsingLibrary @Kshakal I might be doing the same this time around too. Last time I read this I was really about quantity reading over quality so I added it to my reread stack thinking it was me but it might really just be the book 😂 1y
Kshakal @CollapsingLibrary I will be interested to hear your take this time around! 1y

Got some (delayed) holiday mail! A lil Trotsky and a Georgia SRA patch 🖤 also, not pictured: a variety of sunflower seeds (YES good weather is coming!), a kawaii guillotine ornament, some quiltbang pins and TEA! I absolutely love getting and sending mail- if you want a postcard or some knick knacks dm me your addy!

As far as the book, great sentiment but I will say that I prefer reading theory by poc revolutionaries, as they‘re imo not as dry

Just finished The Lacuna - 4⭐️, which was almost a chunkster at 600+pages. I've started Storyland and hope to finish both these remaining titles by the end of the month.

#SuperSeptember #Readathon

Not doing too great on reaching my intended goals of finishing these 3 books. I will be happy to finish the tagged by the 25th and start the other two, to finish by the end of month.

@Andrew65

Andrew65 I‘m the same as you, hit a bit of a reading slump! Good luck with your reading. 2y
