I finished Jackie & Me by Louis Bayard (reviewed it on Storygraph, pixie_d) and Vaster Wilds by Lauren Groff. (Refers to the same plague setting as Forever Amber and Year of Wonders -- there may be a three-way battle bracket in my reading future!) Am holding off on filling out the bingo card until the end of the month, as every book could conceivably fit into more than one square. Update: finished Restless Dolly Maunder and The Dutch House.

You are so welcome!

@freshparchment 4 месяца назад

Thank you so much for the shoutout! Looking at your books on this PoP and behind you, have you read Mary, Called Magdalene by Elizabeth George? It blew my mind as a teenager and it's still one of my mother's favorite books.

@Shellyish 4 месяца назад

I haven't read Mary, Called Magdelene and it sounds fantastic!

@freshparchment 4 месяца назад

@@Shellyish Hooray! I hope you enjoy it whenever you get around to it.

@scallydandlingaboutthebook2711 4 месяца назад

I'm planning some historical fiction for June and will have fun fitting them to the prompts. You have some goodies lined up.

@Shellyish 4 месяца назад

Yay! How exciting!

@Read2live 3 месяца назад

I had fun making a list of books according to your prompts. I won't have time to finish all of them in June, but they're all books I own and wanted to read, so it's Ok if I keep reading past June. 1. From a country you're from: I live in the U.S., but I'm from Greece, so I chose a book I have in Greek by one of our most famous and indeed great historical fiction authors: "Serra: The Soul of Pontus" by Giannis Kalpouzos. It is set in the year 1915 "ahead of the Armenian genocide." Excerpt from an online summary I found in English: "As a backdrop to the fictional tale, the Pontus is sketched, painted and brought to life. We read of the population exchanges that took place, the racial cleansing that was led with the alibi provided by religion, fear, intolerance, and nationalism spread by the Neoturks and then the Kemalists, about the daily life during the first years of the Soviet Union, the pogroms against the Greeks during Stalin's time, the labour camps, in Siberia and the Steppes of Kazakhstan [...], as well as the passions, hopes, and wishes of the Pontian people" (Editions Psichogios.gr). 2. Set in a different country you're from: "The Dance Tree" (Dance hysteria in Strasbourg France, 1518) OR "As The Lemon Trees Grow" by Zoulfa Katouh (war in Syria) 3. New to you Historical Period: "A History of Burning by Janika Oza (1898-1972, British colonization in India and Uganda and Idi Amir military dictatorship). I know the absolute minimum basics, but I've never heard of Idi Amir or other details. 4. Magical realism: "Master and Margarita" by Bulkagov (I had started this one, so I need to continue) 5. Perspective of ordinary person: "Winesburg Ohio" by Sherwood Anderson (it seems to fit by what I read in the back cover) 6. Perspective of an extraordinary person: "The Maniac" by Benjamin Labatut: "[...] centered on the Hungarian Polymath John von Neumann [...]." I had gotten this when it was recommended by Ann Novela in one of her videos. 7. Historical Romance: "Love in the Time of Cholera" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez 8. A Classic of Historical Fiction: "Whose Names Are Unknown" by Sanora Babb, a contemporary of John Steinbeck. I only heard about this author very recently through my American Poetry Professor. It was written in the 1930s during the Great Depression. When she took the novel to the editor Bennett Cerf told her that he "planned to publish this "exceptionally fine" novel, but when John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath swept the nation, Cerf explained that the market could not support two books on the subject" (From the book's back cover). I was told it's great. We shall see. It's just over 200 pages. Happy Readings to everyone! PS. "POP: Pile of Possibilities" sounds great. I love it!

Pile of Possibilities: English Passengers, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, Lonesome Dove, Child From the Sea, Viajero. These are some of the books I'm thinking of, but you gave some ideas for other books to read as well.

Wow! What a POP. I cheated and already read this week Katherine Chen's Joan, a fictional re-telling of the life of Joan of Arc. It was good but not great IMHO.

@Shellyish 4 месяца назад

Oh! Thanks for the feedback on Joan!

I wonder if that Kelly Gang book is what they used to make the movie with Orlando Bloom and Keith Ledger called Ned Kelly.

@Shellyish 4 месяца назад

Hm. I'm not sure.

@socaltoobie8984 4 месяца назад

Although this is not my go-to genre, I DID recently add Treasure Island to the TBR. I think that counts right?! 😁 I’ll read that next. (Currently dipping my toe into SciFi with Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty)

@beeheart6529 4 месяца назад

I love the Toy Story movies too. Have you watched Sing? It’s so good. I am reading Throne of Caesar by Steven Saylor. It’s very good. It’s from the perspective of an ordinary person.

Fingersmith is one of my favorite books! I loved it so much I immediately bought almost all of Waters' other books. I'm currently reading Matrix and really liking it. I haven't read from Lauren Groff before and I'm liking her writing and descriptions a lot.

@Shellyish 4 месяца назад

Hey! That's great news about Fingersmith and Matrix for me! :)

@pylesofbooks 4 месяца назад

Your TBR looks fun! I haven't read any Hilary Mantel, but I have had Wolf Hall on my "get from the library" list for awhile. You've convinced me to check some out. 😊 Thanks for the shout out. I'm looking forward to reading along!

@Shellyish 4 месяца назад

Her writing takes a bit of getting used to, but it’s brilliant! Brilliant! ☺️

@ellenmadebookclub 4 месяца назад

Great tbr! The Glutton looks and sounds like a weird, unsettling, and fun time - my favorite kind of time haha! Naamah sounds interesting as well, never heard of either! Thank you so much for the shoutout 😊 And congrats on 12 000 subscribers, what an achievement! 🥳 Oh, and Melinda's enthusiasm for the event was contagious for sure! 😄

@Shellyish 4 месяца назад

The Glutton is a top priority of the month! Also, thank you! ☺️ and Melinda is great!!!

I had to “like” this video- you said my name in one of your reviews - bolster. LOL! Ian Pears’ book is great. Hope you will enjoy it. I notice Jubilee on your shelf. How was that? I am recently out of my reading slump with Hester by Laurie Albanese. It is excellent! That is some pile of books behind you against the wall……

@Shellyish 4 месяца назад

I've not read Jubilee yet! I've heard good things about Hester! :) That pile keeps growing.

@bjminton2698 4 месяца назад

Wow! A nice PoP!! Count of Monte Christo is a goodie. The Tasha Alexander one is too. Another historical mystery that you should read sometime is Mistress Of The Art Of Death by Franklin. I look forward to your thoughts on your reads!! PS and BTW - 700 pages is definitely a chunker 🙂.

@Shellyish 4 месяца назад

Added Mistress of the Art of Death to my TBR! Thank you!

@kamidsjournee 4 месяца назад

Love your book recs! It’s hard not to add to my TBR. 😏 Btw, The black top with the scoop neckline is so classy looking-very flattering. I know this video isn’t about fashion, but I had to mention it.

@Shellyish 4 месяца назад

Awe! Thank you! I do appreciate it!
