#5 Call Me By Your Name - Mar '20

[Charlotte]

Discussion tab for this month's book :)

[scout]

I own this book! I will start reading it as soon as I can :)

[Melina]

I'm on the waiting list for the book at the library, but I found it online and started reading it this morning

[Raynah]

I’m first in line on the wait list for a copy of the audiobook so hopefully I get it soon

[scout]

I’ve started it! A bit strange but kinda liking it so far!
*disclaimer: anyone who does not like sexual content in books, do not read.

[charlottevb]

i’m on the waiting list for the book in the library but @anna if you say that people who don’t like sexual books shouldn’t read it i might not read it 😂

[Melina]

I also started reading it. At first it felt very strange, but the more I read, the easier it gets to understand it

[scout]

That’s what I think Melina! The language is strange and the way the write formats his writing is weirdddd!

[Melina]

Yes! I already watched the movie, and I think it helps me understand it a bit more, but it is weird

[scout]

Yea, i couldn’t quite understand the timeline at first :[

[Brooke]

they do not have this book at my library unless i want to drive forty five minutes but as soon as i can i am reading it. it is definitely at the top of my list!!

[scout]

good luck then! also, i watched the film last night, was in tears. so beautiful! the book is so good for me and the film just added to the smooth sensuality of the story :)

[Charlotte]

I can't wait to read it!! my local library doesn't have it and none of the other branches but I'll check at school. I found an online version which I started a bit a while ago but I'm not a big ebook reader so I'm still gonna wait a bit and see if I can find a hard copy *fingers crossed* I have a friend who seems to have read every YA book on earth so maybe she'll have a copy I can borrow haha :D

[scout]

hopefullyyy! i loved it :)

[Melina]

I'm around halfway done with the book. I'm on the waiting list for it at the library, but I also found an online version. I already watched the movie, and I couldn't quite understand the timeline before I read the book, but if I hadn't watched the movie, I don't think I'd understand the actions. So: it helped me to both watch the movie and the book, and I love it so far!

[scout]

i just adore the characters of Elio and Oliver so much!

[Charlotte]

I've started reading a bit of the online copy. I love how it's set in Italy - I've always wanted to go there and I'm really enjoy it so far! The whole thing just has a kind of nostalgic vibe to it :)

[Melina]

Elio and Oliver are so cute!

[Raynah]

I just started it!

[scout]

have fuunnnn!

[Raynah]

I finished listening to the audiobook today and wow it was really good!

[Charlotte]

Hi guys! I've been pretty slack with reading this month's book. (Mainly because 1. I was reading Gatsby for school instead and 2. I'm not a big fan of e-reading and I couldn't find a physical copy)

Alas! (such a fun word) I know a bunch of you guys did read it! So - what did all of you think?

Favourite characters, moments, lines?

I really hope to read it one day when I find a copy (although I'm guessing that won't be anytime soon with covid-19 and such :/) so hearing about what you guys liked about it will just add to my own personal hype! haha

:)

[scout]

heyyy! i am honestly so upset for you! Call Me By Your Name is now honestly one of my favourite books and the film has just made me sooo happy (already watched it twice, oh and i may have a crush on Elio {timothee chalamet})! i hope u get to read it soon!

also
favourite character: elio elio elio elio elio elio elio elio elio
favourite scene: peach scene 🍑 (ahah just joking, probs just all the scenes where it’s all feel-good and romantic and Aghhhh)

hope u enjoyed gatsby, cos i wanna read it so much!!

[Raynah]

I think Elio would have to be my favourite character. A few of my favourite moments were when Elio showed Oliver is his favourite spot and the entire trip to Rome.

I haven’t watched the movie yet because I haven’t been able to find it online but I’m hoping to watch it soon.

[scout]

omg it’s amazing, it’s on Netflix if u have it?? but if not, it’s quite easy to watch it on YouTube scene by scene.

[Raynah]

It’s not available in my country on Netflix sadly :( I could try watching it scene by scene but I probably won’t lol

[Melina]

Elio is definetly my favorite character
I think my favorite part is where Elio gets so drunk and Oliver helps him and then they kiss and just walk around

[Charlotte]

omg the whole thing sounds so cute! so glad you guys enjoyed it!
