I neither Tik nor Tok (unless we’re talking about the Ke$ha song… because it is a staple from my new adult years😳) but a friend texted me this and 👏👏👏👏👏

Annie Bot by Sierra Greer: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I downloaded my digital library loan before heading off to work. Finished it just a few minutes ago. Highly recommend! It was strongly reminiscent of Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun in all the best ways.

Every now and then my sister will ask me to recommend her a book/series and I don’t even think she knows how awesome that makes me feel. 🥹

Also, I feel like she should know better than to ask me by now, because she asks for titles and I give her a doctoral thesis about each.

Husband: “Here, I picked up your library book for you. Enjoy!”
Me: (attempting to enjoy said book)
Husband: (meanwhile has not ceased speaking about Ohio’s election, the drywall he’s working on patching, his plan to take out the trash soon, his concerns over our child’s snoring, etc.) “So is it a good book?”

The days I remember to bring my e-reader are the days I never get a chance to read it. When I forget my e-reader time stands still—perhaps even crawls backward a second or two. #cosobookclub

Just wrapped up the Binti trilogy and I am riding the high of reading.
Time to choose my next read:
Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange
or
The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods

I’m on my 12th book of 2024 and I am kicking myself for waiting so long to read the Binti trilogy by Nnedi Okorafor. I am blown away by the world (more like universe) building and the titular character. The books themselves are short, novellas even, but holy smokes do they pack a heavyweight punch. I haven’t been this satisfied with a trilogy since The Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When I went into Starter Villain by John Scalzi I was unsure if I would be even half as amused and captivated as I was reading Kaiju Preservation Society.

Expectations have been thoroughly exceeded. The dolphins… 😂☠️

On Saturday I read A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers in one sitting. It’s a short but beautiful read. It’s aspirational, forgiving, and made me laugh and cry. And I never thought I would say that about a book featuring a spiritual tea 🍵 peddler and a box headed robot. 🤖

Just read it. #cosobookclub #books #opencarrybooks

Perfect night to start a new book. #currentlyreading #cosobookclub

So I have borrowed the Lost Apothecary about 3 times (digital #library loan) never got past a couple pages and always let it lapse. My sister gave me a physical copy during our Christmas #book exchange and still I was like, “meh.” Tonight I read 10 chapters in one sitting. Why tonight? Because I rearranged the furniture and the hubs bought me a fancy floor lamp for my new #reading chair.
#cosobookclub
I’m a weirdo. It’s a damn good book. The lamp and chair are pretty sweet too.

I sincerely dislike when #books are marketed as “unputdownable.” That made-up mash-up immediately makes a book “nonpickupabale” for me.

There, I said it.

My sisters and I started (what seems to be becoming) a new tradition last year. Instead of buying each other a Christmas gift (because we want to focus big gifting energies on the kids) we exchange books from our shelves. The new sister-in-law is in this year and it looks like I need to back a whole suitcase just for the books I want to share with them. 📚❤️

What are you reading today? How are you reading it (ereader, tablet, book, computer, etc?) Why are you reading it (what made you want/need to)?

#cosobookclub #cosobooks #opencarrybooks #books

Hey #cosobookclub, anyone read this one yet? On a scale of general unease to righteous indignation and call to action, how ready should I be for this? #books #dystopianfiction #orwellian

Recommend me a page-turner! Any genre will do. What’s the last #book you flew through and loved every minute? #cosobookclub #opencarrybooks
