I usually enjoy 19th century classics just fine, but although parts of this were great, the whole was not for me. Ludicrously long and with an oddly adolescent emotional tone, with the main character Levin in particular lurching dramatically from mood to mood in a way that is hard to accept from an adult. The aristocratic political philosophy, of which there is a lot, is vaguely interesting historically but pretty crappy morally speaking. @bookstodon #bookstodon
This year for Banned Books Week I caught up with the news from Huntington Beach. Please take a look.

Standardowo - fani urban fantasy i tak przeczytają, reszta może być zainteresowana, ale warto zacząć od pierwszego tomu lub autorskich serii autorek.

When I first saw this Dean Street Press release, I thought it was ABOUT a will, making it a fit for this week's #MurderEveryMonday
I was wrong but since the title is BY a Will, I'l take that as the figleaf of justification I need for my pun/wordplau addicted brain to clain the book does fit 😁 #Reading #Bookstodon #Mystery

A Clockwork Orange - A book that has been frequently challenged, restricted, and banned in various schools, libraries, and local jurisdictions, particularly in the United States.
Here's my review on the book 👇🏽
Edited 40d ago
Four stars:
The Bug Book by Edward Gorey (1959) is another oddly dark picture book. It involves three families of color coded bugs living their best lives until they are besieged by a big black bug. The bugs organize the take care of the threat.

Another amazing story. Took a little longer to hook me than the first one, but just a little. And now I'm sad that the store I found these in didn't have the third book, because I need more stories like these.
Hello everyone, welcome to the #FediBookFair, please help yourself to a spot of cake and I’ve just boiled the kettle if you’d like some tea :)
My name is Emmalena L. Ellis, and I’m a published author based in Suffolk in the UK. If you enjoy slice of life stories, with sprinklings of romance and comedy may I ask you take a look at my first book ‘Ginsterpigs’ which is available to buy in hardback, ebook and fully narrated audiobook editions.
Over the course of my next few posts at the fair, I’d be delighted to tell you a bit of the story, what I’m working on next and a few tips and ideas to help opener writers looking to break through their writers block, or look for a publisher or explore audiobook options.
Let’s have a great fair and I look forward to hearing from you soon. #ginsterpigs #sliceoflife #romanticcomedy #introduction #writers #readers #bookstodon @bookstodon #WritersOfMastodon

Fantastic. I wasn't sure about it when I picked this up, but it was a staff recommendation at the store, so I gave it a chance. Didn't take long at all to grab and hold my interest.
JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN (😭) my review of the new Stephen Graham Jones book just went up at Grimdark Magazine!
Off the Reservation is a brutal road trip
That revisits some characters and locations from his breakout novel The Only Good Indians.
(As always, boosts are appreciated!)

Würdet ihr einem Loops-Account einer Buchhandlung folgen?

Drugi tom ma piękne to, co miał piękne pierwszy tom i kiepskie to, co miał kiepskie poprzednik. Jest ciut lepszy, jest więcej akcji, klimat też pozostał, ale po wszystkim miałem dwa pytania: "dlaczego" oraz "co tu się stało". Ale będą osoby, którym się bardzo spodoba.

finished reading Can't Spell Treason Without Tea
That was a lot more romance than I was expecting. Though considering the words "steeped with love" are right there on the cover, I guess I only have myself to blame.
If you're into mushy stuff, then I guess this is a strong recommendation. For my tastes it was a bit much, but the story underneath was just interesting enough to keep reading. I'll probably pick up the next book at least, and decide after that whether I want to finish out the series.
I was looking through suggestions of novels for Native American/First Nations Heritage Month, and there is a definite pattern. So many of the books are a working through of trauma, in powerful ways.
I added quite a few books to my TBR. The one I will probably get to first is Stephen Graham Jones' latest: Off The Reservation (horror), which is the sequel to The Only Good Indians.
Some TBR additions that look really promising:
Legendary Frybread Drive-In: Intertribal Stories, Cynthia Leitich Smith, Kate Hart, Eric Gansworth, et al.
Eliza Sunshine, Michelle Good
Shards of Science, Brian Lee Young
Also: longshot, but if anyone knows where I can find a copy of The Levitationist by Brandon Hobson, lmk. It might be impossible.

Got to love Professor Abraham Van Helsing 👌🏽
Enjoyed talking about Dracula on my channel 🧛🏽♂️
Brawler by Lauren Groff. Beautifully written short stories. Quite bleak in places, characters that are barely coping in different ways, but occasional glimpses of people at their best. #bookstodon @bookstodon #KeefsReads
