Why we chose Danya Kukafka’s Notes on an Execution Ash had a lot of library books checked out at the end of 2023, including this one. She had checked it out because she’d seen it on several “Best Reads of 2023” lists. When I asked her which book we should do for Family Reads, she suggested I choose a book from her current check outs. I went with Notes on […]

Why we chose Diane Setterfield’s Once Upon a River Mom and I have been struggling to choose a book for Family Reads for half of 2023. Mom would select a book, start reading it, and then decide it wasn’t a good fit. I would select a book, search the library catalogues for it, and find it was unavailable. Finally, December 1 came around. I decided to make an executive decision. […]

Why we chose Lesley Parker’s Nosy Parker Dad’s book discovery process often goes as follows: This was the process followed for discovering Nosy Parker. After he finished reading the book, he suggested I read it as well for Family Reads. The cover made me a little 🤨 but I liked the idea of reading some Canadian historical fiction, so when Dad recommended the story, he buoyed my expectations. The Cover […]

Why we chose Seanan McGuire’s Lost in the Moment and Found TBH, we wanted to do R.F. Kuang’s Babel but it was seemingly impossible for us both to acquire a copy and read it within an acceptable time frame. Meanwhile, we both adore the Wayward Children series. Since we each preordered a copy and knew we would read it in January, we decided to discuss Lost in the Moment and […]

Why we chose Becky Chamber’s A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet [I want this post OUT OF MY DRAFTS before the end of the year, so here it is in a rough state. We discussed this book back in March.] Ash suggested this book because she thought it would be easy to get ahold of – lol it took us almost four months. It was on her TBR […]
