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 optional discussion topic: In honor of the world’s worst holiday, what are some of your favorite examples of literary trickery? Authors who withheld important information, stylistic tricks, narrator shenanigans – anything you can think of.
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. Pictures of books related to a post are fine, though.
upcoming topics:
4/8: organizing your own collection – shelfies welcome
4/15: cookbooks (h/t to Lil Lentil)
4/22: rank books by author (h/t to Troubled)
