DCIB Book Club: Shards of Honor in ONE Week!!!! Dealing With Dragons in TWO Weeks!!!!
I am excited about both these picks! I can’t even decide which I am MORE excited about. One is a new favorite, and one is an old favorite.
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Ronia the Robber’s Daughter! A Childhood Favorite of Mine
I just reread this whole book in, like, 3 hours. It’s SO GOOD! And I just can’t put it down because stuff keeps happening. Also, we have MUCH to discuss.
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Shards of Honor By Lois Bujold in TWO WEEKS!!! April 4!!!
Yaaaaaaay! One of my favorite new books, which I read thanks to a recommendation ON THIS VERY SITE a couple years ago. It’s smart, it’s romantic, it’s addictive, and it’s a little bit mentally challenging too. You should all really REALLY enjoy it. Oh, and it’s also the perfect SRK/Tabu movie.
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Ronia the Robber’s Daughter Next Week!!! In TWO Weeks, The Red Signal, Dealing with Dragons, or Shards of Honor?
Next week, one of my all time FAVORITE books! Ronia the Robber’s Daughter, it’s exciting and philosophical and a little bit romantic, and it has an AMAZING fearless heroine. Really, READ IT!!!! It should take you about 3-4 hours start to finish and it will give you so much to think about.
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Where’s Your Hat Abe Lincoln! The Choice of the YOUNG!!!!
Oh boy! This is exciting! We get to discuss my nephew’s favorite book! Perhaps he can join in the discussion? Or perhaps not, since he still can only say about 10 words (“cah”, “chiz”, “yiss”, etc.).
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Ronia the Robbers Daughter! In TWO Weeks, on Sunday the 28th!!!!
Yaaaaay, Children’s Literature!!!! It’s the BEST literature. And this is one of those books I remember from when I was a kid being totally completely absorbed in it. So good! By Astrid Lindgren who also did Pippi Longstocking, but this one is a lot better (I think).
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Where’s Your Hat Abe Lincoln in ONE WEEK, In Two Weeks Ronia The Robber’s Daughter, Wild Strawberries, or The Indiscretions of Archie?
I am just so selfish, I am making all y’all read the books I like!!! But at least I am letting you pick WHICH book?
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Ranson’s Folly! Romance and Adventure in the West!!!
Oh, I really hope a lot of you read this! I just love it because it is so ridiculous, and I feel like DCIB is a community that loves the ridiculous.
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Ranson’s Folly in ONE WEEK!!! “Where’s Your Hat Abe Lincoln” in TWO WEEKS
I feel like energy for DCIB book club is waning. So next week is the short novella fun thing, and the week after that we will be discussing my nephew’s favorite book, “Where’s Your Hat Abe Lincoln”. So we can stay in touch with The Youth.
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Emily of Deep Valley, My New Favorite Book!
DilDeewana is right, it’s so good! So very very good! It’s got a radical social message, it’s got a Jerk Man who is accurately described as a Jerk Man, and it has a loving kind grandfather. And a heroine who is an odd fit with girls her own age but discovers the joys of maturity.
Continue readingReminder! Emily of Deep Valley Discussion on Sunday! It’s SO GOOD!!!!
I am extra promoting this one because it is sooooooooooo good and I want to make you all read it so you can say “thank you Margaret, that was sooooooooo good”.
Continue readingDCIB Book Club Reminder/Announcement: Ranson’s Folly in TWO WEEKS (March 14), Emily of Deep Valley in ONE WEEK (March 7)
Time is confusing, isn’t it? But I think I have a solution. I can give us 2 weeks to read each book, if I announce 2 weeks in advance. Right? That’s how time works? BUT! I can have a book every week so long as I keep leapfrogging the announcements. Everything I pick is going to be super fast and light, but I still want to give 2 weeks so you have time to track down a physical copy if you want, or wait to read it until you are in the mood, or whatever.
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Emily of Deep Valley! In 2 Weeks, March 7!
This is cool, Maud Hart Lovelace died on March 11. So we will be discussing her book almost exactly 41 years after her death.
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Emily of Deep Valley or Ranson’s Folly? Heroic Boy Romance or Thoughtful Girl Romance?
Either of these is fine by me! I love Ranson’s Folly and am always ready for a re-read. And I have not yet read Emily of Deep Valley, but it gets amazing reviews and was specifically called out as a “perfect quarantine read”.
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Siva Purana! It’s all SEX! Sex Sex Sex, and Violence!
