HNR The Library Book
HYR Nimona by Noelle Stevenson
?
No, don’t read many of the graphic novels. Have you read The Testaments by Margaret Atwood ?
If you did, how many stars did you rate it?
Yes. 5 stars. And I haven't yet come up with my best books of 2019 list, but I'm pretty sure it'll be on it.HYR The Mueller Report by Department of Justice
? (Under whatever cover.)
I gave it 5 stars too! And yes I read the Muellar Report as soon as it was published. Have you read There There by Tommy Orange?
I have and I loved it! And gave it 5 stars and put it on my best of last year book list. Have you read Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich
?
No, but I would like to. Have you read The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse by the same author?
Oh yes. I try to read everything by Louise Erdrich. The big difference between Future Home of the Living God and The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse and many of her other books is that Future Home... is set at some point in the not so distant future, where the others tend to be set at some point in the past.Have you read any Sherman Alexie? Do you have a favorite novel by him?
I’ve only read Blasphemy: New and Selected Stories and like it but I have The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian on my TBR list for a while.Have you read Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather? It kind of reminded me of The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse.
* I’m going to look for that book you mentioned that is set in future.
I might have liked Death Comes for the Archbishop more, if I had thought to look for similarities to The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse. I didn't care for the Willa Cather novel.Do you make a list of the best/ your favorite books you read each year?
Not every year. I do make a list of the books I read until Goodreads started doing it for me.Which book were you going to ask if I read?
(I'm sorry. Months later.)Are you planning to read, or have you read either Race to the Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse or Saint X by Alexis Schaitkin?
No, but looks interesting. I volunteer at school libraries and at their book fairs and often end up buying a lot of these books.Have you read Briar Rose by Jane Yolen
Yes, I have! A group read on one of my community’s bookshelf some time past.Have you read The Lady and the Unicorn?
No, I haven't. I only read Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier and it put me off reading her other books.Have you read An Evil Cradling by Brian Keenan
?
No. I don’t remember hearing about that event. I’d like to read it.Have you read The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead
.?
I have. It was one of the last books I borrowed from the public library before they shut down in mid- March. I'm a Colson Whitehead addict. Have you read The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead
?
I haven't. I don't read much contemporary fiction.HYR The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
? I'm really enjoying this book
I haven't read it but it looks interesting.HYR A Woman in Berlin: Eight Weeks in the Conquered City: A Diary by Marta Hillers
?
I haven't read it, thanks for sharing it with me. HYR New Suns: Original Speculative Fiction by People of Color edited by Nisi Shawl
?
I have not. I read speculative fiction but is not one of my “go-to” genres, mostly because they are so often depressing of what what the future hold like with dystopia. That being said have you read The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell?
The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell is one of my favorite books. I have read it multiple times. And I've read Children of God the next book in the series. I've also made it a point to read all of Mary Doria Russell's novels. Have you read Epitaph by Mary Doria Russell
? This one's a western.
The Sparrow is by no means a dystopian sf novel. There are parts that are laugh out loud funny. Have you read about the Jesuits in the New World coming into contact with the Iroquois Confederacy? She based on that, a bit. But the tagline is 'Jesuits* in space.' (*And their friends.)No, I do not believe I have read Pride and Prejudice. I've tried. But I have read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
HYR The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
?
The Sparrow sounds interesting. No, I haven't read anything about the Jesuits in the New World. Will look it up.I've owned a copy of The Woman in White for about 5 years now, but the sheer size of it intimidates me and it might be a few more years before I decide to read it.
HYR The Master by Colm Tóibín
?
No, but The Master looks interesting.(Clearly, I have not read The Woman in White. I thought it was a novella!)
HYR Fox 8 by George Saunders
?
I haven't read it, but it looks like an interesting story.HYR Anatomy of a Soldier by Harry Parker
?
I looked up Mr. Churchill's Secretary here and there are a lot of one and two star reviews. Sometimes that means nothing. Have you read it yet?Have you read The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict
? I liked it.

I did read it, and I really enjoyed it. I'm currently reading the second book of the series.
HNR The Personal Librarian, but it looks interesting.
Have you read [book:Devil's Rock by Gerri Hill
HNR, I don't find myself reading a lot of mysteries, but when I do, I usually like them.HYR The Shirt on His Back by Barbara Hambly
? It's also a western, but set in 1837, with a Black detective.
No, I hnr, but I have read A Free Man of Color by Barbara Hambly, the first book in this series, or maybe I read the fifth. Heck, I probably have. I've read one in the series and liked it.HYR Lone Women by Victor LaValle
?Oh shoot! I'm answering my own question!
