Thank you so much for this post. My daughter and I are book lovers and Barnes is our go to place. We agree, it is a reverential experience! We are also thrilled to know that the future is bright for Barnes and, as a result, for all book lovers. We cried and still feel the pain of the loss of Borders. So glad that the prediction of brick and mortar demise, as a result of a giant like Amazon, will not occur. Thank you, Olive and thank you, James. 😊

Annie Dillard actually wrote the book that won her the Pulitzer Prize in a small neighborhood in Roanoke, Virginia across from Hollins University, where she had attended and her husband was a professor. When I read the book decades ago I pictured her in the wilds of Appalachia. But Tinker Creek runs thru the subdivision, right past her house. I have a friend who was their neighbor and I, too, used to live in Roanoke. Makes it all the more amazing to read how she was able to explore and concentrate on the flora and fauna she found in and around the creek, and shows us exactly how to do the same thing: to find nature right where you are.

So happy to have found you! I left a book club as it was too focused on social and environmental justice and it was starting to get exhausting and I found myself cringing over the next selection. My new club of three has just formed and our tastes are all over the place, which is amazing because I’m planning to read books outside of my usual dark gothic fantasy comfort zone. I plan to watch all of your RU-vid for suggestions and I am enjoying your perspective. thank you!! 😊

@BandysBooks 3 месяца назад

I feel you on the pile of shame. I have a stack of ARCs to catch up on as well. I'm slowly working my way through some of them, but I really need to prioritize it more.

@paula9604 4 месяца назад

Olive I enjoy how your reviews are so insightful and honest, and you always seems so upbeat. Like you, Rules of Civility is one of my all time favorite books to reread (though the audio version was disappointing.) and I just finished Table for Two. I thought your review was spot on. Though overall I liked the story of Eve in Hollywood, it did seem misplaced since it wasn’t really a short story and it didn’t take place in NY. Nevertheless, Amor is such an amazing writer who can transport you to another time and place with interesting characters and situations the whole book is definitely worth reading. Thanks again for all the time to take to create this informative and engaging channel for us book readers.

I always admire how close you stick to your monthly TBR. I am such a mood reader and this is a challenge for me.

@redheadreading 4 месяца назад

I have quite literally just finished reading Stork Mountain! Will be eagerly anticipating your thoughts on it 😁

@MyGrannyEra 5 месяцев назад

You always find so many titles I've not heard of. Thank you so much for sharing! I've got Tinker Creek on my list, too.

@smileycindy 4 месяца назад

Excited to have just found your channel. Your content is very interesting to listen to and your suggestions are unique and fun. Already added a lot of new titles to my TBR list. Here are a few of the books I borrowed from the library and will most likely be reading in April: Seven Days in July, The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store, Project Hail Mary, Yellowface and The Bandit Queens. I'm about a third in Detransition, Baby but I'm not progressing on it as fast as I would like to.

@MegBookishRamblings 5 месяцев назад

I enjoy Tea as well so am really curious about Infused: Adventures In Tea . I may read it alongside Death By Darjeeling by Laura Childs. I would like to hopefully get to Cacophony of Bone by Kerri Ni Dochartaigh, Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange, Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe, The Purloined Poodle by Kevin Hearne, Just For The Summer by Abby Jimenez and The House on Biscayne Bay by Chanel Cleeton. I have so many more books I hope to get to but will see how the month goes. Hope you have a great reading month!

@micminneman8545 5 месяцев назад

I would like to be reading Table for Two this month but since I’m 44 on the hold list, it’s probably a summer read for me!

@sandyokey1019 5 месяцев назад

I’m anxiously waiting for Table for Two also. I adore Amor Towles. I’ve got A Well Behaved Woman on my tbr wish list. 💕 some of these ARC’s sound very interesting and I’ll be excited to hear your thoughts on them. I read Pilgrim at Tinker Creek in February and enjoyed it.

As soon as I heard Table for Two was being released I thought of you! I haven’t read Rules of Civility yet. I absolutely LOVED A Gentleman in Moscow. I will re reading it soon, as I want to read Table for Two before the year is over.

@Nina_DP 5 месяцев назад

Hope Table for Two is everything you hope for!!

Great list! I plan to read through the Women’s Prize Shortlist, along with James and a few other fiction books.

@JosephQuinton 5 месяцев назад

I gleaned three books to put on my TBR…thank you.

@anne-marie339 5 месяцев назад

I tried to read that novella through the library years ago but it got pulled (ecopies) before my hold came through! I’m excited for your review. I read both Rules of Civility and Gentleman in Moscow years ago and enjoyed them. My April TBR so far is a continuation of my March TBR, with some scifi (the Best of all Possible Worlds, Chimera) and some tbd nonfiction

Infused has me Intrigued 😊☕️

@rnee1000 5 месяцев назад

I've never read Rules of Civility so plan to read it before reading Towles' new book. Loose of Earth sounds good. Also I want to read Anna Karenina. I've given myself the challenge to read one classic a month this year. You might like "Spark Birds" from Orion Press, an anthology of poems and essays about birds. As an artist and bird watcher "Baby Birds" looks intriguing.

@HelenSchneider-tl3yh 5 месяцев назад

Can't wait to hear your review of Table for Two. I LOVED Rules of Civility but disliked Gentleman. Will rely on your review before picking up Table for Two. I desperately want to go back to the Rules of Civility universe but my relationship with Amor Towles is very uneven.

@abookolive 5 месяцев назад

Uneven is exactly how I'd describe my relationship with Towles as well. It'll be interesting to see what Table for Two ends up being like.

@helenricotta5106 5 месяцев назад

I’m just the opposite: I loved Gentleman and was only OK with Rules of Civility. I have The Lincoln Highway on my shelf, just haven’t gotten there.

@launchedathousand 5 месяцев назад

Good luck with Table for Two! I've been curious about Moneyball since the movie so I'll be curious to hear your thoughts. I'm excited to read this month Yellowface by RF Kuang.

@carolynmonahan2488 5 месяцев назад

I loved the movie Moneyball.

I wasn't crazy about a Well Behaved Woman. I've read better books about the Vanderbilts.

@sw6705 5 месяцев назад

@abookolive Birding to Change the World by Trish O’Kane, would love your review!

@sherrirabinowitz4618 5 месяцев назад

Did you read Anderson Cooper's book about the Vanderbilts? It is really fascinating, and it's well researched. (He wrote it for his kids so they could know their Grandmother and her side of the family.) Worth a read.

@abookolive 5 месяцев назад

I haven't read it, but it intrigued me! I think he wrote another one recently, too?

@sherrirabinowitz4618 5 месяцев назад

@@abookolive Yes, the Astors, i read that too. It's very good.
