My current read. I‘m excited to finally be reading this one. It has languished on my Kindle TBR for a number of years, and, this year, one of my reading goals is to read some of the titles I‘ve managed to collect, both in hard copy and on my Kindle. Plus Joyce Carol Oates, so, yay!
Just starting this, our next selection for book club. Our theme is African American Voices. I am excited to read this. #FirstSaturdayReaders

pickSea of Tranquility is my Book of the Year for 2024, the only book to earn a 5-star rating from me this year. Outstanding in every way and highly recommended.

When you can‘t believe what you read so you create a spot to commemorate it in your reading journal.
Last 50 or so pages of this plus discussion question prep for book club tomorrow = my Friday night #FirstSaturdayReaders
For the first time, my book club has chosen to try themed readings. In 2025, we will pick selections that fit (in any way we choose) that month‘s theme. I‘m excited to try this. #FirstSaturdayReaders
Book club Halloween-ish meeting to discuss Shirley Jackson‘s “We Have Always Lived in the Castle.” #FirstSaturdayReaders
NYC trip commemorated in my book journal. A good day with some of the members of my book club. #FirstSaturdayReaders
Current read. I picked this up on a whim a number of years ago and loved it. Later I found out it was part of a series but the original edition I bought made no mention of that. Rereading and enjoying it all over again. #Halloween
Current read.
so-soTook me one month to the day, but I finished. As challenging in its own way as Rushdie‘s THE SATANIC VERSES. Book discussion a few weeks away. A big “whew” from me! #FirstSaturdayReaders
Finished PARABLE OF THE SOWER for September book club, and thought I‘d get a head start on October‘s door stop of a book, THE NAME OF THE ROSE. #FirstSaturdayReaders

Up next for book club. #FirstSaturdayReaders
Current read. Bought this at a thrift store about 30 years ago and had it in my TBR pile ever since. My first Roth.
pickQuick read, compelling. Beautifully and sparely written.
Book group trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. #FirstSaturdayReaders #TheMet
I‘m a lifelong reader but I‘ve always struggled with poetry. Recently I saw a post online about a completely unrelated subject that had someone comment, “Explain it to me like I‘m 8,” and I thought, “Gee, I wish someone would explain poetry to me like I‘m 8.” Cue the Amazon search, and here we are with my current read!
so-soI haven‘t read any Stephen King since the BIG disappointment of Doctor Sleep. At this point it seems like he keeps writing the same books over and over with a few changes to the minor details and character names. File under “More of the Same.”
June, July and August book club selections. #FirstSaturdayReaders
