Welcome to the Book Nook! This is the weekly thread for Avocados to discuss books we’re currently reading, recommendations, genre, and serious literary criticism.

This week’s recommended discussion: Do you read multiple books at once? I used to read several books at the same time, and I delighted in the connections I could make between unrelated fiction and non-fiction works. Now that it’s not necessary to juggle multiple classes (and assigned texts), I’m out of practice.

One caveat: because we’re here to use our words, this is a NO GIF/YouTube/social media embed zone (the OTs are full of clutter, and I want to keep that out of this thread).

upcoming topics:
1/17: this book is killing me
1/24: the unreliable narrator
