Supposedly Funners are getting fed this summer. You are killing it with the content. 🩷🩷🩷 Happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸
😂 🤗 🥂 ❤️ 🎆
Thank you for doing this -- you've conveniently laid out book releases for the rest of the year. Now I know what to look out for. I'm most interested in the Hamya novel. I'm a lit prof, but like to read a few contemporary novels throughout the year, to keep me connected to our contemporary moment.
I feel like I would need some balance with contemporary books as well. I need a mix of fun and serious as it is!
@@SupposedlyFun Totally
Love Mother Love Mother drew me in from the first pages a multilayered family saga a five star read for me.Really enjoy your videos.
This Is Happiness was just beautiful; I’m so happy to get to revisit Faha! And, of course, I’ve been anticipating Somewhere Beyond the Sea since 15 seconds after finishing Cerulean. ❤
This is so helpful! Looking forward to the next video too.
THIS IS HAPPINESS is slow for the first half; the last half is fantastic!
The Woman Who Walked Into Doors is absolutely brilliant in my opinion. A triumph of first person narrative. I haven't read the second one, yet.
It’s both exciting and infuriating to realize I have homework to do (just like catching up to Elizabeth Strout).
So many interesting books! The one I'm most excited for based on your description here is Giant Love. I'll definitely be checking the dvd out from the library to pair with it when it comes out 💙
I’m most interested in Time of the Child, Love Can’t Feed You and Somewhere Beyond the Sea. Love my long TBR list!
I read Mammoth this year (in Spanish) and it certainly holds up to the other two books of this thematic trilogy.
Although my least favourite (Permafrost may be my favourite) it still a really good and short read
That's good to know--thanks!
Thanks, Greg!🌷Susanna Clarke’s The Wood at Midwinter sounds (and looks 😍) indeed like the perfect Christmas gift! I’m now looking forward to seeing the illustrations. The stunning cover reminds me of The Twilight Garden by Sara Nisha Adams (I’ve just treated myself to it as one of the comfort reads for this summer). I liked very much The Sparsholt Affaire by Alan Hollinghurst and would like to read more by him. I am looking forward to the audiobook of Tell me Everything by Elizabeth Strout. I love the Lucy Barton novels, and will be listening to Olive Kitteridge and Olive Again in the coming weeks. Lucy by the Sea was one of my favourites of 2022.
Wow, that’s a lot of books! Happy 4th up there! I miss the States on these holidays.
It feels like a weird year for celebrating the country, but oh well.
@@SupposedlyFun True that
Love love love Kevin Barry’s writing. Very exciting that he’s got a new one. Ditto for Erdrich, Kushner and Shafak
It looks like I have access to the Kevin Barry on audio so it’s on soon!
Kevin Barry's The Heart in Winter is up there with Percival Everett's James and Carys Davies' Clear as the best 2024 releases I've read this year. Not sure if it would be your cup of tea, but I can't recommend it highly enough. Especially if the concept of a winter western by an Irish wordsmith sounds appealing.
I am interested in the Elizabeth Strout book, the Susanna Clarke book, and the Elif Shafak book. I am a big fan of all those writers, especially Clarke and Strout. Can’t wait to get my hands on copies of these books!
Me too!
Piranesi is one of my favourite books of all time. The reader is left with the central mystery: why did Piranesi alone survive the Labyrinth? It erodes your mind like water wears away rock. What if his methodical mind was only half of the reason and the other half is that he was already a stranger in a strange land? I leave you to unpack this puzzle box of a book for yourself.
That sounds interesting
I’m very excited for (and have preordered) There are Rivers In The Sky and another book you didn’t mention called And So I Roar which is a sequel to The Girl With The Louding Voice. I forgot all about TJ Klune’s new book until this video though. I loved House In The Cerulean Sea and will likely preorder the sequel now that it’s back on my radar!
I still haven't read The Girl With the Louding Voice, so I need to catch up at some point.
I've only read one Elif Shafak, The Island of Missing Trees, but that one has a deaf character in it. I wonder if she has a connection to the Deaf community or someone in her family who's deaf.
Interesting question!
Very excited to read TBA's new book because I loved Fleishman is in Trouble (the book and FX's TV adaptation with Claire Danes & Jesse Eisenberg)!
I’ve heard good things about both!
'The Hypocrite' sounds like Angelica Houston's memoir. Her father accidentally killed a young woman and was a physically abusive serial philanderer. It's a master class in psychology to hear her rationalize her deep love and respect for him.
Oh WOW. That sounds fascinating and bleak.
Holy crap, I did not know about "accidentally killed a young woman"! How many high-powered men have done this? (Now I'm imagining a map with dropped pins; that would be impactful.) We just had our 4th of July viewing of Jaws (may have to re-read that book. Only read it once, in the 70s!), and in Googling film locations I learned the other side of the ferry docks in Chappaquiddick.
The Women Behind the door is the third in a series and you need to read
The Woman Who Walked Into Doors and Paula first.
Both were made into a series on RTE.
Giant Love is the one I want to read!
I hope you like it!
I have a few of these preordered already. I have heard a lot about Long Island Compromise, but I really disliked Fleishman is in trouble. I know I’m in the minority with that, but it was a one star for me so it’s hard for me to get excited for the new book. I will wait for some reviews and see though.
Ending with Teddy taps❤
The best way to end! He and Joel got home from a walk.
The Hypocrite is right up my alley, I hope I get to it.
It sounds good, right?
Of these I’m probably most excited for the new T.J. Klune.
If you told me I could only pick one of these books to read, that would probably be the one.
More Irish recommendations
The Coast Road by Alan Murrin
The women behind the door and Like mother, Like mother sound interesting.... I'm awaiting the release of Grown women by Sarai Johnson (July 9th)
I just looked that one up and it sounds fascinating!
@@SupposedlyFun 😊
Another one for you
The God of The Woods by Liz Moore
Release date July 4th
TBR meltdown!🔥😆
Sorry not sorry! 🤣
Books are are not suffering for overconsumerism specifically literary fiction. Writers barely get paid . anyone who is complaining is being performative and you are being far too kind to them
A promising list! A few too many set during unseasonably hot weekends for my taste. 🌡🥀I'll skip those and head straight for the Susanna Clarke one set in winter. Added the Zahid Rafiq book to my eternal TBR as well. Looking forward to hearing peoples' experiences with these books!
Winter escapism could be essential in July and August 🤣
53 minutes of Greg on a cloudy Thursday when I’m feeling a bit blaah. Fabulous!
The Hypocrite, The Message, and This is Happiness went right onto my list. I will be listening to This is Happiness very soon. I’m also interested in the new Rumaan Alam, Entitlement, because of how freaked out (in a very good way) I was by Leave the World Behind.
I also found out that there is a new Attica Locke coming in the fall, which I think is the conclusion of her Highway 59 series, so that’s now on my list. Claudia Pineiro’s Time of the Flies is coming in August and is already preordered at my local. Have you looked at the Waterstone’s Debut Fiction Prize shortlist? It looks really solid. I just ordered The Silence In Between by Josie Ferguson which sounds terrific. Waterstone’s description of Martyr sort of turned me around on that book and I think I will be getting to it soon. I recently found out about a horror/noir book called William by Mason Coile that sounds delicious and went right on my list. And Babylonia, by Costanza Casati, who wrote my second favorite book from last year, Clytemnestra, just came out today in the UK. I am so excited to get that! There are others too, of course.
One book that I think maybe you’ll be interested in just came out today in the UK. It’s called The Betrayal of Thomas True by AJ West and is historical fiction about molly houses in 1715 London. It’s flagged as a thriller, which I know isn’t your jam, but I thought the subject matter might intrigue you. My copy is on the way and I can’t wait to get it!
So you are cool with magical children but not with ghosts? 🤔
