Hello Everyone! I have decided in 2024 to not put too much pressure on myself when it comes to my reading. I don’t want to be stressed about any reading goals. So, I am going to read and enjoy myself. So, the 6 books I ready in January were all very good. Books that I cannot wait to tell you all about. So come take a look.

I like that your reading goals this year is focusing on interest not numbers. Reading is for joy not content! Hope you have a wonderful reading year! I truly enjoy your videos.

Thank you so much. And for sure. I am just reading and seeing where it takes me.

@Phillybookfairy 7 месяцев назад

Geez I think I have to add all of these to my tbr eventually 😊

That is what I like to hear! Happy Reading my friend.

I have Martyr on my shelf waiting. And I read Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop in February. I agree with your review. It was good to read about people figuring out their lives without drama. Beautyland and Float Up Sing Down sound interesting; I'll check them out.

You have some great books right around the corner. So excited for you. Happy Reading.

My kindle copy of Martyr just downloaded last night. I had it on pre order. I’ve only finished one book so far this month. Stone Yard Devotional by Charolette Wood It’s set in Australia 🇦🇺 n a convent. The narrator goes there on retreat. Great read. So good that I felt sure it would be on the Womens Prize/Stella.

I have read one Charolette Wood novel and really liked it. I should try to find more of her books over here in the US. Hope you enjoyed Martyr,.

Always such good recommendations!

Thank you.

Reading for interest is how I do things. Reading for vanity numbers is not my jam. I'm on the Count of Monte Cristo (a monster of a book, ~1200 pages), which most wouldn't read if numbers were a priority. The books you shared are ones I hadn't heard of before. Thank you for putting a few more on my radar!

@InkandPaperBlog 6 месяцев назад

Totally agree - I have not read Monte Cristo since college. I am so glad I could add a few books to your TBR.

Greetings from Singapore! Finished reading "Welcome to Hyunam-Dong Bookshop where i thoroughly enjoyed! Shannon Tan who is the translator of this book is a Singaporean. We are proud of her. Next on my tbr list is Martyr! I hope that our library is able to load this amazing book! Thanks for your excellent reviews, Russell ❤

@InkandPaperBlog 6 месяцев назад

Oh I am so glad to hear that. It is such a lovely book. I think we will be seeing more books translated by Tan coming out - she is so very very good.

Russell, I read calling a wolf a wolf by Kaveh Akbar, I think it was his debut great read.

@InkandPaperBlog 6 месяцев назад

That is his poetry collection right? One of my friends says it is his favorite ever.

"Barnes and Noble...They're my local bookstore." Amazon really has changed the landscape. A bit strange that I think of B&N as an underdog to be rooted for. Closest indie bookstore that sells new books is 22 miles away now. Anyway, nice to hear the Laird Hunt stories get some love.

@InkandPaperBlog 6 месяцев назад

I have to go at least 30 minutes or more to get to an indie bookstore. Barnes and Nobel has treated me well. And Hunt is amazing

I didn't love Beauty;and. I had a hard time engaging with Adina and overall this felt like a fictionalized version of Brainard's memoir, "I Remember." Lots of inreresting observations, but it didn't grab me overall.

@InkandPaperBlog 6 месяцев назад

I can see that. I think I saw a lot of myself in Adina and how I look at the world. So, that connection was there. But both she and I are odd birds LOL.
