I already can't get past the idea of a stylish suburban woman nicknamed "Piglet," it seems so contrived and unbelievable. Hey I see you reviewing numerous horrors there seems like a good idea if you ask me! 👍 "A ton of library books" now that's what I like to see too 👍😃😺 go libraries! 📚

The only thing that concerned me about Elena Ferrante were those corny covers of her most popular paperbacks but "My Brilliant Friend" is a realistic "slice of life" of poor Italian girls in Naples that is engagingly written and addressed some of my own background via my grandmother, very much recommended 👍❤

It seems ridiculous that an "it" girl in all things is nicknamed Piglet, it's the sort of thing that puts me off a book immediately. Absurdity has its own rules and doesn't work if they're not followed! Pearl was being so considerate not to enter unless you gave the all clear! 😸😆

I also get most everything from the library, usually the Brooklyn Public Library Central Branch where there are 1 million books, and why would I go anywhere else?! 😆😸 I buy books that I want to have as what I consider classics past or modern. The moderns are not frequent. The last were Sayaka Murata's books in English, a few years ago 😸😆

That is good 👍, I just have the "crazy" idea that reading should be free 😸😆 Of course capitalism has turned it into an entire industry but most of the products of that industry can be ignored. I learn about them by watching Book Tubers! That leaves a limited number of books, which I can get free at the library. Outstanding ones past or modern are the ones I will buy to have for any-time reading 👍 The only time recently that I bought a lot of books was "the pandemic" because the libraries were not open 😲 but Barnes and Noble was. I got by with limited food to buy books!

🥵 "Mary" is an odd and interesting novel eventually going the horror route but not in any usual way, and featuring a 50 year-old female protagonist that one doesn't see a great lot of in books. It leaves one thinking "What was that?" but also provides a strange satisfaction. The author goes deep into political correctness in explaining his writing of a woman character, but this doesn't bother me since his result of an unusual book speaks for itself 👍

But you should read at least the HK Choi book. Her "Yolk" was very good I thought! Even if it is "young adult," I did not realize this at all and its depiction of NYC in general was accurate. 👍 The "young adult" makes no sense as it is about Korean sisters living in the city who are in their twenties, not teens!

Yes, I think StoryGraph has a function you can set at owned books. I’m also on a sort of book-buying ban. The internet is just too tempting for me. I do the Read What You Own Challenge. I will read 12 books before buying any new or used books on the internet. There are a lot of BookTubers who do the Read What You Own Challenge. Michael K. Vaughan is going to read a whopping 500 books before he buys any new books and he’s been at it for over a year now. My hat’s off to him. I think I’ve read 30ish books last year. Which is the most I’ve read ever in a year. So I’m chuffed with that. Favorite non-fiction must be Eighty Days: Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland’s History-Making Race Around the World Favorite short story is Weird Heroes: The Black Brotherhood by Joshua Reynolds Favorite fiction is Doctor Death vs. the Secret Twelve by Harold Ward Favorite graphic novel is The Incal by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Moebius

Lady Godiva and Master Tom, not only was it boring but also discriminating against Jewish people and it wasn't only a character in the book it was the aditude of the writer as well.
