booknookHello, hello! booknook is (again) tossing its hat in the ring for 3weeks4dreamwidth in the form of a friending meme :D
This is the same meme as last year, as I do not have the brain-space to make a new one, but who knows! You're answers might have changed! You might not have seen the newest entries! You might have completely forgotten to check it out at all, even though you're the admin and you really should have. So let's do this again! <3

Some Published Titles From My To Be Read List: Isaac's Song, Homeseeking, The Sun was Electric cLight, Wild Dark Shore
A Book Not-Yet-Published I'm Excited About: huh. I don't really keep up until about a month before books come out. Although this month I'm getting Alive Day a memoir by a woman whose husband becomes a disabled veteran.
Related Book News I've Got My Eye On: (adaptations etc.) I don't really watch TV or movies, so I don't know what to say here.
My All-Time Favorite Book(s): Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah
My Favorite Book Genre(s): I read a lot of historical fiction, and a lot of contemporary fiction, but I also read sci fi, fantasy, thrillers occasionally, a lot of nonfiction... uhm I read a lot.
A Book I Recommend in My Favorite Genre(s): The Women by Kristin Hannah
A Book I Don't Recommend in My Favorite Genre(s): Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum
A Genre I'm Interested in Trying Out: I can't say there's any genres I'm interested in that I haven't already read from, though i keep thinking I'm going to try Discworld, and then not because there's just SO MUCH there and it is overwhelming.
Link to My Latest Book Review: I don't know how to link to it but "When the earth was green" I wrote Well this book was absolutely fascinating. I mean, okay, I admit my biology education was woefully inadequate, and what there was focused on animals with one unit on plants in which we learned the scientific name of every tree that grew on the school's campus and not much more about them. But this book taught me so much that I didn't know, and also was really well written (which can be a struggle for science written by scientists for some reason?). It's mostly a book about plants, but most chapters talks about the symbiosis between plants and animals and how they evolved to work together, the benefits and drawbacks to these evolutionary strategies and why the hell a plant evolved to make cats stoned. Really, this may be one of the strongest books I read all year.

Books/Genres I'm Interested in Discussing/Chatting About: I write a weekly Reading Wednesday post in which I welcome anyone to tell me what they are reading, comment on anything I'm reading, or whatever else. I am currently reading 41 books (and yes I'm getting through at least a chapter of each of them every week mostly. Hi. AuDHD brain here. I can't concentrate on one book at a time, so I just keep flipping from book to book and read them over the course of months), so there's a lot to discuss!
