I just finished reading Kindred this morning. What a great read and I feel like I learned a lot. I had not really grasped the brutal economics of slavery before this. Thank you @retired-librarian.bsky.social and #BannedBookSky #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge #BannedBooks

A gem recommended by @retired-librarian.bsky.social as part of her #BannedBooks reading. Loved the illustrative dialogue and think it should be required reading. Chuckled when one of the reasons for banning was that the protagonist was older than her lover??? #BookSky #52BookChallenge #52Books

Just finished listening to this. Wow. People and money and power and greed. It's an unfortunate story but you should read it. #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge #MoreLike42

I just binge-listened to this on my long drive. Totally sucked in and what great character development with a twist.

One of the better books that I have read this year. Stephen Johnson explores innovation in a thoughtful way with evidence about where good ideas incubate and grow. #booksky #52bookchallenge #52books

Because I am traveling in Norway, I grabbed a Norwegian novel. Naïve, Super by Erlend Loe is a fun and fast read - a coming of age story with some choice observations about America and Americans. #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge

This was fun. Flip through it in an evening. Terrific illustrations and an exhibit that I would like to see in person one day. Sara Berman's Closet by Maira Kalman and Alex Kalman. #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge

Just finished this book finally. I had picked it up but set it down when others had a shorter due date. Sweet - very, very sweet. It was sometimes sad, sometimes serious, sometimes funny but very very sweet. #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge

On a long flight and managed to finish another one. I hadn’t actually ever read this before although I have seen movies and theater. It is remarkable how young Mary Shelley was when she wrote this. #BannedBooks #Booksky #52Books #52BookChallenge

Fascinating tale built around topics that Allende often explores. Oh such a twist of fate on one winter night and how three people come together to live it out. Very enjoyable.

And one more that I listened to on Libby during my train ride. A Caribbean Mystery is classic Agatha when Miss Marple goes on holiday. Fast and with a twist. #BookSky #52books #52bookchallenge

I had to borrow this book twice in order to finish it but so glad I did! It’s long but such a terrific story. The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai. #Booksky #52books #52bookchallenge

It's been a while since a book made me cry but In the Time of Butterflies did it. I enjoyed hearing the different and distinct voices of these sisters and they navigated their struggle under Trujillo. #booksky #52bookchallenge #52books

For prompt 24. Title is a spoiler, I read This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. Would also work for short chapters, standalone, last sentence 6 words or less, and more.
Confusing but worth a read. Very creative.

Yesterday, I finished The Women by Kristin Hannah. Wow, I had no idea about the nurses in Vietnam. I'm embarrassed and the detail was brutal. I am so sorry for what they had to go through. #booksky #52books

My reading has slowed a bit in this last quarter but I just finished this beautifully written tale. Obviously worthy of a Pulitzer and so surprisingly different from other books that I have read by the same author. #Booksky #52BookChallenge #52Books

This was the first Jodi Picoult book that I've read and if the others are anything like this, I'll line up to read them. Beautiful prose and dialogue and a stunning amount of research done to produce this novel. #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge

I heard about this book a few years ago and finally listened to it via Libby. It's great investigative reporting and writing. I appreciated the way the book ends - not with a lesson but with questions that still exist about tissue sampling and directives. #booksky #52books #52bookchallenge

Miksipä tyytyä vain yhteen kun voi olla kolmekin kirjaa luennassa yhtäaikaa 🫣😅 Kaksi menossa Helmet-haasteeseen, yksi 52books-haasteeseen. Tietokirjat tosi loistavia, ja "zero" vaikuttaa hyvin lupaavalta apokalypsiviihteeltä 😊📚

If you get the audio book, Meryl Streep narrates and does a lovely job. She just "seems" like the right voice for this tale. I enjoyed the protagonist sharing the story of an early romance with her daughters and appreciating the life she chose. #BookSky #52Books #52BookChallenge
