I (kinda) recently bought Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, I really enjoyed the movie, looking forward to what you think. I've also owned A Long Fatal Love Chase for years, but have been afraid to tackle it b/c I wasn't a fan of Little Women - you're the first person I've heard talk about it, ever, so might try and give it a shot next year. Really love your Bingo game!
Thanks! I enjoyed the game too. A Long Fatal is really exciting. VERY different then Little Woman, there's a reason that it was marketed in the 90s as a thriller.
@@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD I think the only reason I found connections between Station Eleven and the other two is that I read them back to back 😂 Sea of Tranquility is my favourite of the three.
@@TheLeniverseI reread SE and thought I picked up on something at the end that's connected to Sea but someone kept telling me no. 😅 I need to reread all 3 again. Maybe in December for Remember December.
@@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD Mainly Station Eleven is just an alternative history to the other two. Divergent paths. But you meet some of the same characters.
yes! I'm reading it with a buddy and we're discussing it on discord. We're going slow at about 1ch/day. In July we're reading Books V and VI. You're welcome to join us on discord if you'd like.
Phillip K. Dick: UBIK. I just picked up Station Eleven a week ago. Drive Your Plow: was a fun read for me. No Fibonacci sequence? Ben (Ben Reads Good) has a "translated" prompt for July so I'll read Norwegian Wood (Murakami).
Your TBR games are so inspiring! I picked up The Phantom Tollbooth today for the read-along. I immediately flipped through to see the illustrations and you are right, they are adorable! How the heck will I be able to wait until July 27?!
I really love your TBR game videos. It's not a method that would work for me (in part because I am slave to my library holds) but I think that's part of why I enjoy watching you play the game. My "big book that I will be reading all summer a few pages at the time" is Ducks, Newburyport, which is an odd one. I think it would drive me mad if I attempted more than 30pages (max!) per day 😅
Thanks. It was very hard playing this with library books, so I definitely get that. I've considered Ducks and I'd have to read it the same way for the same reason.
My library has many of the books I want to read on Hoopla. I actually found an inexpensive tablet on sale and read Hoopla books on there since I can't read them on my Kindle. It was been worth it.
What fun! And all of these look great. Can't wait to hear your thoughts as usual! I tried Drive Your Plow and only got about a chapter in. It was going to be too weird for me. 😅 To the Bright Edge of the World was lovely as was Howards End. I eagerly await your results. 😊
I had Maurice and Howards End on my June pile of possibilities for pride month. I read Maurice first. I found it to be good but the ending was bittersweet. It’s not looking like I will get to Howards End before the end of June. Oh well, that’s why it’s a PoP and not a strict TBR.
I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT MARINA! I really hope you like it and I didn't recommend a DNF LOL. Aside from Marina, this looks like a great selection of books. I'll check your SG and weekly Wrap-Ups to see your opinions. I feel like I'll be adding a few to my TBR list LOL. Great video as always. It's so fun to watch them :)
I read Carlos Ruiz Zafon's first book and really enjoyed it overall. I have a couple of other books that I am looking forward to trying. I hadn't heard of Marina but will have to keep it in mind. I recently hauled Station Eleven. I am hoping to get to it this autumn. I hope your reads go well.
I love watching your picks! Btw does anyone know where Nicole is moving to? Sounds far, and Im anxiously waiting for the new set up! I hate moving, but love looking at new places! lol! I feel like she's talked about where at some point, but I've missed it. Best of luck moving!
Starting in 2 weeks? You'll see updates in our newer location. I'm keeping the where private as it's a bit easier to locate, so you didn't miss it I haven't said. New setup will be just for a few months. It'll be about 4-6mos until I have my stuff again, so you'll get lots of new locations.
@noteworthyfiction I forgot to mention u probably haven't mentioned due to privacy lol!! Durp on my end. The fam I was a nanny for had a big move a long time ago, ot took 4-6 months to get all their stuff in one place! I do not envy that. Best of luck either way! I hope the new place has some kick *ss libraries!
Interesting list
I thought so! Way more interesting then what I'd put together.
Oooo big book challenge for the summer!?! I wanna try this now 😅
Yes!! Do. It's being hosted on youtube by Sue @suejacksonde

Lots of great possibilities. Safe travels, Nicole. 🥰
Thanks Tammy!
This is such a fun game...and that is quite the TBR!
Thanks. And I should have ended it with "to be continued..."
I love Station Eleven and the next two books (The Glass Hotel and Sea of Tranquility). Not technically a series but they are all connected.
oooo!! God to know. I had heard that, but wasn't sure which books, so that helps.
The last 2 most connected...I had to squint to find any in the first to the other two. Lol

This looks like such a fun way to do part of your July TBR 🥰
It was!! Then again, I love a TBR game.
I’m halfway through The Mysteries of Paris and loving it. It also is a very long book-about 1300 pages.
yes! I'm reading it with a buddy and we're discussing it on discord. We're going slow at about 1ch/day. In July we're reading Books V and VI. You're welcome to join us on discord if you'd like.
Jean recommended Station Eleven to me! Possibly buddy read?
I couldn't wait and already read it!! 😭That's what I get for jumping the gun. I'd still love to chat about it. do you do voxxer?
Phillip K. Dick: UBIK.

Drive Your Plow: was a fun read for me.
No Fibonacci sequence? Ben (Ben Reads Good) has a "translated" prompt for July so I'll read Norwegian Wood (Murakami).
Apparently I wanted to read Drive Your Plow. Might do anyway. Don't worry Fibonacci hasn't been forgotten. 😉

I love TBR games, so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Honestly, I'm the wrong person to ask about waiting. I'd say read it now and then read it again! 😂🥰
What a fun and unique game!
thanks!
You are just so much fun!
Awww, thanks.

That's a great idea! I might invest in a cheap, used, or refurbished one this summer.
What fun! And all of these look great. Can't wait to hear your thoughts as usual! I tried Drive Your Plow and only got about a chapter in. It was going to be too weird for me. 😅 To the Bright Edge of the World was lovely as was Howards End. I eagerly await your results. 😊
Sounds good. Not sure if I'll make it back around to Drive Your Plow, but we'll see.
I had Maurice and Howards End on my June pile of possibilities for pride month. I read Maurice first. I found it to be good but the ending was bittersweet. It’s not looking like I will get to Howards End before the end of June. Oh well, that’s why it’s a PoP and not a strict TBR.
Yes, POP is right! Hope we both like Howards End.

Thanks Ricardo. So funny you just left this comment as I was literally just logging on SG that I'm starting it right now!!

Thanks! I'm hoping to get to Marina soon. I've read nothing by Zafon, but I know he's popular.
YEAH Carlos Ruiz Zafon was a good writer, sadly he passed away bus of cancer, hope you enjoy his writing style!!!
Thanks for the extra details!
I made a sort of list yesterday...my way to pick them wasn't as fun as yours.
lol! I love the idea of a sort of list.

@@duhastkeinhertz thanks. I will definitely be giving an update on the library situation asap!
