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: A couple of weeks ago, I asked if there are books that make you think of people. This week it’s books that make you think of places. Did you read something in a particular place, and now they’re forever linked? Does a particular place make you think of a book or writer – whether logical or not? (Next week we’ll do a variant on place – memorable settings.)

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:
5/8: memorable settings
