Welcome to the Book Nook! The weekly thread for all book nerds on The Avocado. This is the place to talk about books you’re currently reading, discuss genres, ask for recommendations, and post serious literary criticism.

This weeks prompt: What are some novels, nonfiction books, stories, essays, plays, poems, graphic novels or comic books that you would like to experience all over again like you were reading them for the first time? Thanks to moon-woman for the prompt idea!

Suggestions for prompts are always welcome!

Posting pictures is fine as long as they are book related, but I would like this thread to continue to be a NO GIF/YouTube/social media embed zone. Thanks, and happy commenting!
