My choice for an #outofthisworldbook. It's finally on my shelf after my non-reader husband keeps telling me that he loved it.
Thanks for the chance to win an ARC of your latest, @valeriegeary - I'm in the U.S.
TheLondonBookworm Classic! 7y
Gezemice This is one my husband keeps telling me to read. I have seen a terrible TV adaptation so I was very reluctant, but he insists that the book is a lot better. I have been getting through most of my "must-read" books so I think I will read this soon, too. 7y
quirkyreader This book meant everything to me when I was in grade 8. (edited) 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I've never read it either, but have had it recommended to me by more than one man too. Maybe this one would be another good one to attempt with a group as a #DuneChapterADay thing? 7y
DivineDiana Also on my "must read" list. My best male friend told me it is his favorite. I'm noticing a pattern. ? 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Gezemice @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @DivineDiana If we do a buddy read (which would be fun), I have a hashtag! #womenreaddune #dunesnotjustfordudes 😜 7y
DivineDiana @BarbaraTheBibliophage You are a clever one! Perfect! 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Hahaha! Works for me! 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa And yes @DivineDiana definitely a huge trend here. Hopefully it holds up for us ladies! 7y
Gezemice Lol, I like it! But what if the ladies think, #dunesucks? 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Gezemice That could happen! A bunch of got Tropic of Cancer in a banned books quiz, so we decided to do a readalaong. I think 98% of us hated it. 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Gezemice @BarbaraTheBibliophage it could be very possible that #DuneIsForDudes but I guess we won't know until we try it. 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage I'll just make sure that one's not on my to read list now....hahaha 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Nope, wasn't even on my list! 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa All you're missing is racist misogyny. 😝 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Fine by me, I think we've all had more than our fill of that already.😱 7y

TK-421 The Dune series (original 6 books not the new ones) are some of my all-time favourites. I haven't read them for awhile & want to reread them, so a Dune read along sounds like a great place to start! Despite the fact that Dune is often recommended by men, believe me, there are some great female characters in this series! No spoilers, but I just have to say these women are totally bad-ass, with perfect control over their bodies & minds. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @TK-421 Yay - that‘s great to know! I love me some bad-ass women characters! If you read the comments before yours, you‘ll see that several of us want to read Dune b/c of men who‘ve recommended it to us. (edited) 7y
