Adventures and Naps

🇺🇸🌭 What a divisive book! (I really liked it)

This month for Book Club we read the modern classic A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole (available here if you want to check it out!). From reading the reviews after finishing the book, it seems this one really splits the room: you either enjoy it, or despise it.

I really enjoyed it!

I felt like all of the characters (however minor or unlikeable) were completely fleshed out into unique people - each one of them could have had their own story. I loved how unique the story itself was, how insufferable our main character is and overall I had a great time. I think this will be one I'll be thinking about for awhile.

Book Club pick for September 📚

For September, we're changing gears to what seems to be a fantasy-vibe story with The Book That Wouldn’t Burn by Mark Lawrence. As always, I haven't read the back but this was recommended to me by a few people - let's give it a go!

📕 What is Book Club?

My goal is to read more - so I started Book Club! Each month, I’ll post what I’m reading and you are welcome to join in 📚 Whether you want to read or listen, it's totally up to you! At the end of the month, we’ll share our thoughts on the book (no spoilers in case you're still reading/listening).

You can try and read each book, or pick and choose month-to-month, or not! It’s totally up to you.

Happy reading!
