Rebecca is book-hooked’s Comments (group member since Jun 23, 2022)

Rebecca is book-hooked’s comments from the EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club group.

I am competing for India.

Would anyone like to compete for India or Thailand with me?

I’m looking forward to finally getting this one read. Hoping for a thought-provoking read that leaves an impression. I read Anna Karenina a couple years ago. I didn’t like it much at the time, but I thought a lot about it afterwards and it’s definitely grown on me.

I second City of Bones

I second I am a Cat, Tattooist, Vanishing Half, and Nightingale

I second Brideshead Revisited and Importance of Being Earnest

I second War & Peace!

Thank you for your suggestion, Rebecca. The moderator team discussed the idea and decided that with only 8 long-reads to-date, it's early to start re-reading them..."

I understand. Thanks for considering it.

I second Nightingale.

I second Shadow of the Wind.

I second Robinson Crusoe.

No, most of the long books I would like to nominate have been read previously. Have y'all considered allowing the long books that have been previously read to be eligible for this feed since it's a 6-month reading?

I second Joy Luck Club.

I nominate Les Miserables, 1,376 pages

I second:
Howl's Moving Castle
Oranges are not the Only Fruit
Nothing to See Here

I second:
To the Lighthouse
Peter Pan
Master & Margarita
Pachinko

I second Things Fall Apart and the Heart is a Lonely Hunter

Happy New Year!!!

It's a heavily illustrated book, so it's only half a point.

I second:
Jane Eyre
Eleanor Oliphant
