Books read in May
Jun. 1st, 2022 04:37 pmA book you can read in one sitting: Wishtree by Katherine Applegate (Apr 30-May 1). It didn't say it had to be read in the same day. ;) Haha
A book becoming a TV series or movie in 2022: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (May 1-8). Awesome, I can't wait to see the movie!
A book by a Latinx author: Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World by Benjamin Alire Sáenz (May 9-14). OMG LOVED!! Definitely better than the first one <3
An Anisfield-Wolf Book Award winner: The Yellow Birds by Kevin Powers (May 14-16). This won a bunch of awards, though I'm not sure why..it wasn't even that good!
A book that takes place during your favorite season: Escape from the Icecap by Bertrand Shurtleff (May 17-22). There was a bed in one of the camps that was described as a "box," with straw on the top and reindeer pelts as "curtains." Cool, an Alaska Native four-poster bed!! Haha
A book with a protagonist who uses a mobility aid: House of Glass by Susan Fletcher (May 23-29)
( the topics )
I love when the scent of chokecherry blossoms comes through my windows on a breeze *drools*
28. What songs have you completely memorized? "Dirty Paws," "Your Bones," etc
29. When people come to you for help, what do they usually want help with? Finding a book, for one
30. What takes up too much of your time? Hmm..overthinking?? Haha
31. What would be your first question after waking up from being cryogenically frozen for 100 years? "Are there any glaciers left?!?"
June
1. What would a perfect city be like? Medium size, good restaurants, nice people, cool trees, etc
Today's trivia: A computer study of over a million samples of normal English prose found that the longest word one is likely to encounter on an everyday basis is "uncharacteristically"
