North Liberty Readers discussion

The past year has been a horror. 2024 will be the year of evolution and change for me. Starting with introspection and personal quietness....and growth. For the first time....my list comes directly from my shelves at home. Everything there, all books waiting for me and utterly faithful in their comfort. So....without further adieu....

THE LIST:

1.) A Charm of Finches by Suanne Laqueur
2.) The Accident by Chris Pavone
3.) Hr Giger By Taschen Portfolio
4.) A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
5.) Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline
6.) Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi
7.) The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
8.) High Fidelity by Nick Hornby
9.) A Good Family by Erik Fassnacht
10.) High on Arrival by Mackenzie Phillips
11.) Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart
12.) Little Bee by Chris Cleave

PLUS....4 alternates:

13.) Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver
14.) Shanghai Girls by Lisa See
15.) Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk by Ben Fountain
16.) The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead

All books are waiting for me on my bookshelf...collected and on point.

Here we go.

Shuggie Bain...200 pages too long. Gentleman in Moscow...got bored and didn't finish. Year of Magical Thinking...how is it possible you haven't read it?! I could read it over and over.
