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:  deal breakers.  Are there plot points, or character aspects, or subject matter that you nope right out of – whether you know ahead of time, or encounter them while you’re reading?  For me, it’s when a book establishes itself in the real world, then violates real-world rules.  Once a book violates real-world rules of time, distance, resources, etc., it turns preposterous, and it can’t win me back.    

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. Images related to a post are fine, though.

upcoming topics:

6/30:  overshadowed
7/7:  captures a truth about your country/city/region
7/14:  weird/ unexpected search result
7/21:  world lit (every 80 days)
