What book are you hoping will appear under the Christmas tree?
Michelle Obama’s But I plan to buy it for myself!!
Money well spent.
@Janet I asked my husband to get it for me!
That one for me, too!
My wife’s good friend is getting it for Xmas so I’ll read her copy in February or March
Where the Crawdads Sing
Becoming
The Immoralists by Chloe Benjamin. Any thoughts on this from those that have read?
@Suzanne , I enjoyed it.
I also enjoyed it. It was a beautifully written and powerful story.
@Suzanne I finished it but it was a struggle. I didn’t care for it.
@Suzanne there were slow parts but I really enjoyed it and keep thinking about it even 2 months later
@Laura good feedback. Less by Andrew Sean Greer was one of those for me. A Gentleman in Moscow is another.
Intriguing. Different. Very good
@Suzanne another book to add to list! pleas call me when everything settles down. Merry Christmas!
I sent my mom my book list weeks ago, and she accidentally deleted it. So now i’m just expecting a gift card.
Mmmmm. It was ok. Not my favorite. But everyone is different and you may post back and love it.
Becoming
Crazy Rich Asians (2 &3)
Being Mortal
Everything I never told you
Eleanor Oliphant
@Laura , great list there. Except for the Asian books, they are on my front front burner
@Thomg the crazy Rich Asians is not something I would normally pick, but I’ve read a lot of heavy/sad books this summer and fall and definitely needed something light and fun. I’m reading the first one and the absurdity of the wealth described is so ridiculous that I’ve literally been laughing out loud. When one character mentions the amount of money she spends on her yearly wardrobe, and it was as much as my husband’s entire salary, I busted up. ?
@Thomg the other three books are amazing
@Laura , I generally like light reads. It surprises me the amount of non fiction and/or Dark Matter ? I consume.
I did ask for a new journal but I don’t think I’ll get a book because I’m in the excess on book purchases.????
Becoming
it is sooooooooo good
Dear Evan Hansen
Becoming and Columb of Fire.
The amazon card which lets me buy whatever book I want.
Yes that is what I am hoping for too. I am also hoping for a book of poetry by recent native-American poets called New Poets of Native Nations edited by Heid E Erdrich.
“Smoke Get in Your Eyes” and “From Here to Eternity”. Caitlin Doughty is my hero.
I bought 1000 Books To Read Before You Die for myself last week. Have already enjoyed dipping into it.
@Phyllis I just bought that one too. It’s a great reference book.
@Phyllis me too!❤️
I received Nine Perfect Strangers as a gift today. Looking forward to reading it.
Spinning Silver and Becoming
I know I’m getting
Crawdads
Beartown
From Beirut to Jerusalem, a forty year old Thomas Friedman examination of the Middle East,
and The Three Little Pigs. The last one troubles me. I have no clue why. It cost $8 at Amazon. We can’t afford such frivolity here. My spirits are already falling.
try thrift books i have saved so much money! also free shipping if you spend $10
@Margaret , I’ll have to check them out. Right now I have ten books to read plus four more coming on Xmas. ?
Educated
@Michelle , that’s the one I really wanted for Christmas.
Mary Oliver poetry
Fresh Snow On Bedford Falls: Second Chances
by G. L. Gooding
A blank cheque book ??
Books about pottery–I’m a beginner.
Leif Enger and Barbara Kingsolvers new novels
Any book! I work in a bookstore and no one buys me books anymore!?
@Christa nobody buys me books either ?
@Steph what’s wrong with people!!??? Hope you get a Christmas miracle!
Kate Atkinson’s latest.
I’d like to have about every single book Amazon keeps sending me the ads for, that are only on Kindle when the truth is I only read the paper kind of books. The ads & pictures are always so interesting but when I look for the books they are electronic only. Bummer! I do know it’s part of belonging to the 21st century but I don’t have to give up the items I love … yet. ? Merry Christmas! ?
@Kristie, I hate this too!
Any book! Wait, wait! I mean…ALL THE BOOKS! 🙂
LOL a puppy
An extension of my Audible subscription.
Marilla of Green Gables
Crawdads!
The Chicago Architecture Foundation published a graphic novel to teach teens about the importance of urban planning. I’ve been hoping for that one for a couple of years. I admire everything the CAF does. For some reason, they don’t sell it through Amazon.
I would love to find a big dictionary under my tree…one that has everything! A-L and M-Z
Becoming!!
A first edition of Rage by Stephen King. But that’s a pipe dream lol
