Hello Bucktommys, I hope this post finds you well. What do you have on your hiatus to-do list? What will you be writing and creating over the next few months?

Best,

physically go to your local library at least once. seriously.
look around. find a random book with a cover that catches your attention. read the description. read the first page. if you like the sounds of it, borrow it and take it home to read. borrow a handful of books even.
if a book loses your interest, drop it. if a book grips onto you, ride that wave.
i've struggled to read recreationally for years despite having read so much as a kid. a lot of us are frozen by the seemingly infinite choices. even when we buy books to take home, we don't read them because which book is worth reading first? we don't have to decide, we have it right here in our bookshelves, we have an eternity of never deciding.
in this past month, i have read five books, most of them i've never heard of when i spotted their cover at the library. most of them, i've ended up loving. the due date of library books maintains the ability to read a book so i can return them to the library and leave the library with more books. an even better incentive than borrowing ebooks, because i actually have to leave the house and not be a hermit.
so if you used to enjoy reading but struggle with it now, ignore the book recs you hear. go to the library, come across a book that piques your interest, and read one page after another until you either lose interest or finish the book.
then it's onto the next one.

Reading is political and it always has been. Here are some of the classic books on the banned list that you should definitely check out.

bingewatching will never come close to bingereading. there is nothing like blocking out the entire Earth for ten hours to read a book in one sitting no food no water no shower no bra and emerging at the end with no idea what time it is or where you are, a dried-up prune that's sensitive to light and loud noises because you've been in your room in the dark reading by the glow of a single LED. it's like coming back after a three-month vacation in another dimension and now you have to go downstairs and make dinner. absolutely transcendental

Thank you library
The Book Nookβs intern has decided to help with some admin work today, though admin wouldnβt say heβs been very helpful.
We are currently in the process of deciding which book should be our first read so keep your eyes open tomorrow for a post confirming the pick!
The discord server is still open for members so message @evansbuck-ley if you would like to join!
Welcome to The Book Nook
Hi all and welcome!
This is a virtual book club, where people can recommend reads, submit reviews and overall chat about books. We have created this as I felt that we should have a safe space outside of fandom where we can have fun and relax without being surrounded by discourse and negativity.
This blog will be updated every time the club is due to start a new book, with links for where to find each book free to read or at a discounted price; we want to make this as accessible as possible.
More information to follow about when the club starts and the name of the first book. This post is simply to reach out to potential members that would like to join.
We do have a discord server that people are welcome to join, but it is invite only. If this is something that you would like to be a part of please message @evansbuck-ley directly.
Happy reading!
