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: I didn’t have an idea this week, so it’s a free skate!

Settle into your favorite chair, and let’s celebrate the written word.
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:
6/12: another free skate (sorry!)
6/19: sorting the TBR pile (h/t to Bluelightspecial)
6/26: literary crushes (h/t to El Marinero)
7/3: America the book-iful
7/10: favorite YA series when you were a YA (h/t to MisterSplendiferous)
