May 2020 Bookclub - Attachments by Rainbow Rowell

1

This will be the thread for the May book club. The title and top post will change once a book is decided on.

Please cast your vote(s) by April 15th. This will give everyone a couple weeks to acquire the book.

I’m pretty sure these books are “clean” and dont have any sexual violence, etc. but if anyone knows differently please let me know and I’ll pick another book for the poll

  • Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
  • The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama
  • Fool by Christopher Moore
  • Missing Pieces by Heather Gudenkauf

I forgot to vote but it’s cool because I loved Attachments and I’m curious to see if I still love it now.

I just put the ebook on hold through the library! estimated time is 3 weeks, but I can be a fast reader, and sometimes things come in sooner than expected. I’ve read both Carry On and Fangirl (and I especially loved Fangirl), so I am excited for this. I went ahead and put a hold on Wayward Son too, but that has a longer wait time.

My library ebook came in Saturday, I dipped into it last night and finished it before 6am this morning. Oops. I honestly don’t know if I’d say I loved it or that it was great, but it was apparently exactly the sort of thing I wanted to read!

There are still 32 holds ahead of me so I’m glad it was a pretty fast read and I can catch up :slight_smile:

I’ve also been added to a wait list for my library. Kobo said Overdrive said it wasn’t available from my library so who knows what that means :woman_shrugging:t2:

It’s only $5 from Kobo and I might be able to find it for less elsewhere, so we’ll see.

Expecting to still be waiting on my hold until about mid-month. At least I know I can catch up quickly, and since I’ve already read it I don’t have to shield myself from spoilers at all!

This book feels almost aggressively pleasant. I’m already 25% of the way through. It is EXACTLY what I need right now.

And the quick read makes me feel less bad that I waited a few days after my hold came in to read it when there are 3 other people waiting!

I apologize if it’s rude to pop into May’s thread to talk about June’s book, but only 9 people have voted so far and we’re at a tie. So if you haven’t voted yet, come on over and vote. June 2020 Book Club--The Vine Witch by Luanne G Smith

Book done!

I wonder if my work has an IT person who does the same thing?

I have a few more questions but will wait until everyone is done.

I agree - it was a nice light read - very sweet and innocent - did any of the characters even swear?

Oh 1999 - pre-googling the crap out of everything and everyone. What a time!
