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: Inspired by multiple mentions by librarians about books taking place in libraries, or featuring librarian characters – what books are about subjects you know well, and what do writers get right or wrong?
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:
7/31: the meaningfulness of books set where you live (h/t to Thomas the Fifth)
8/7: favorite standalone book when you were young
8/14: generation gap
8/21: challenging books
