I’m just such a Luddite & I want to write books about Luddites. — Ann Patchett
I finally visited Ann Patchett’s bookstore in Nashville (about 2 hrs away) & it didn’t disappoint. I’ve loved her books for some time, so this stop was a long time coming. I’m a Luddite at heart, which might be one of the many reasons I enjoy her books & characters. #books#annpatchett#nashville#booktoot@bookstodon
@szilviavirag@bookstodon Margaret Atwood's Maddaddam trilogy was the best of the year so far. Also Graham Swift's Mothering Sunday. I have Elizabeth Knox's Absolute Book lined up next, which is supposed to be excellent.
Ok Bookworms, we are past the halfway point of 2023.
3 questions:
-Are you looking forward to reading a specific book?
-How’s your reading been this year?
-What are you reading now?
I’m looking forward to reading The Wager by David Grann (already out) & Ana Turns by Lisa Gornick (Netgalley ARC). My reading this year has just been ok, not meaning the books (those have been good & often great), but rather my time reading. Currently I’m reading Rabbits by Terry Miles & recently started Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier. #books#amreading#booktoot#photography@bookstodon
The terrifying premise at the heart of The Painted Man by Peter V. Brett is compelling. For three centuries humanity has lived in fear of the setting of the sun, which portends the rising of demons from the earth to slaughter them during the hours of darkness. The only protection against the hordes are magical defensive wards that keep them at bay until the sun rises once more. @bookstodon

There are many things I love about reading on my Kindle, especially the convenience & lighting factor, but if it or all of the content were gone tomorrow, my reading wouldn’t skip a beat. My physical book collection is wonderful & it’s something I have been collecting & am continually curating. Years ago I got rid of other things to make space for bookshelves & I’ve never regretted it. The calming presence of books is something I adore, no power cord, electricity or wifi required. #life#love#books#booktoot@bookstodon
Another really popular author whom I have never read anything by. I have a few of his & have been thinking about starting with this one. Fantasy is my least (tied with YA and self-help) favorite genre. That being said, I’m willing to give it a try.
