I’m looking for some books to read at a lake house. It doesn’t need to be light but I’d like the books to be fast paced. Some books that I’ve liked that are similar to what I’m looking for are A Good Person, Just Watch Me, Big Swiss, Milk Fed, Fruit Fly, and Convenience Store Woman. This is my last bit of summer reading so I’m hoping to find some good books!
I get excited about making seasonal lists and I’m making my fall TBR. I’d love to put some fall feeling nyrb books on there. What books do you recommend for fall? I loved reading Abigail and Stoner in the fall!
I’m going on a beach vacation and of course I’m planning on reading the whole time. What nyrb books are good for beach reading? I’m thinking Dud Avocado or Three Summers.
I’m up to 170 now! All of these were less than 6 dollars each at used bookstores in Maryland. Have you read any? What do you recommend?
Has anyone read In the Freud Archives? I just randomly came across it but haven’t heard anything about it. The Goodreads reviews are good. What do you think?
I’m starting a book club where it’s all moms in their mid 30s to early 40s and everyone likes different types of books so I’m trying to figure out what the first book should be.
I love literary fiction as long as it’s not cheesy and saccharine. One person doesn’t like sad literary fiction. Other genres people like are fantasy, sci-fi, and thrillers but I don’t like straight thrillers. I like literary mysteries like Long Bright River and Notes in an Execution.
I also read a couple hundred books a year so it needs to be obscure enough where I haven’t read it but at least a year old so we can find it at the library.
Some books I was thinking would be good for this would be The Calamity Club, Red City, Blood Over Bright Haven, and Project Hail Mary. I’ve read all these though
I know this is a complicated ask. I appreciate your suggestions!
I have a lot of nyrb books and I’m having a hard time figuring out what to read next. I’m pulling out some books for August so I thought to help me decide i would ask all of you your top 10 nyrb books that are under 400 pages. I have a lot of long ones but I’m saving Maqroll and Long Ships for later!
Here are mine in no real order. If you don’t have ten then just say some favorites!
My friend got me a present! This is huge!!! Anyone read it? Does it feel as long as it is?
This is gorgeously written and perfectly paced. I loved it so much. I wish it were 300 pages longer. What a weird little thing! Will you read this when it comes out? Have you read The Invention of Morel?
I got really lucky and this time it was at Normals bookstore in Baltimore city. All these were less than 30.00! I don’t know anything about these though. Have you read any? What’s good?
Looking for my next read and these stand out to me. Have you read them? Spoiler free thoughts? Which would you get and which would you skip?
What do you think of my thrift store haul? Got these from a few random places around town!
What are some of your underrated NYRB books?
I’d say for me I loved Lion and My Death which I don’t hear enough about.
What are yours?
Here is the wishlist of books I’m prioritizing to purchase. Have you read any of them? What do you think of them? Help feed my nyrb addiction!
The Slynx
The Murderess
The White Bear
The Rim of Morning
The go-between
Sao Bernardo
In a lonely place
Free Day
Other Worlds
The Stronghold
A Game of Hide and seek
My face for the world to see
Note - deleted my original post because the title was wrong and it wouldn’t let me edit it.
