So many good choices! I love so many of these authors. I'm ashamed that I still haven't read any Octavia Butler. I need to correct that ASAP. I *almost* pulled The Glass Hotel off the shelf to read over the weekend, but I ended up with Leonard and Hungry Paul. Great minds, indeed! Yoli forever! I'm waiting for it to get cool and rainy before I read Jane Eyre for the first time in a very, very long time. Also thinking it's time to re-read The Little Friend while I wait for Donna to get off the stick. Deeshaw has her first novel, The True Confessions of First Lady Freeman, coming out in 2026!
@@EveningReader That is wonderful news about Deeshaw's novel. Now they just have to move it up to 2025. I hope you are loving Leonard and Hungry Paul. Cool and rainy is ideal Jane Eyre weather. I'll never get that combo but I'm going to read Jane again this winter.
Loved what you did with this, & many of your book recommendations are new to me, so thanks for that. 'All My Puny Sorrows', what a great cover & title, I'll search this one out - wow. Geez, 'The Sentence' has a fabulous cover too. Ah, I also love the Brontes. This was such a fun tag. I also had a blast contributing to this - Booktube is a wonderful lark!
@@apoetreadstowrite Thank you! I had a good time with this tag and Marilyn Maya Mendoza's while month of celebration. You can't go wrong with All My Puny Sorrows or The Sentence - give them a try!
I am so pleased to hear you lift up so many phenomenal women authors. I realize that there have been significant contributions to literature by many men but women are finally getting some of the recognition they deserve. I have read half of the authors mentioned and look forward to reading more of your list. Women's voices will not be silenced anymore.
@@marciajohansson769 Thank you! Yes! So many incredible "damn scribbling women." I just had to check whether it was Hawthorne or Melville who said that. Hawthorne! Rolling in his grave!
This was great. Being left on a desert island with all of Jane Austen's work sound like a dream come true! I guess it's now time for me to get off the stick and finally read Elizabeth Strout. (On a side note, I love that there's a tag called Phenomenal Woman because I did lipsync of Maya Angelou reading poem that and it was one of my favorites. Her voice so RICH.)
@@TootightLautrec It's always time to read Elizabeth Strout and Jane Austen! I'm going to look up your lip sync. Angelou had a magnificent voice. I miss your videos!
Hi Angelia, thank you for doing my tag. "All My Puny Sorrows" is on my TBR because of The Canadian best book list that Jolene and Lindy created. I love the "Get Off The Stick Prize" but agree with the "Secret Life of Church Ladies". I want Tana French to write a Dublin Murder Mystery book. I loved your responses. Sending you loving Aloha
@@MarilynMayaMendoza A new Dublin Murder Squad book would be awesome! I love Tana French's recent novels but that series was so good. I'm also "shopping" in that Canadian book list. This tag was a joy to make; thanks for inventing it and tagging me!
The Get Off the Stick prize! I love it. You should get to name all the prizes. I have never read The Little Friend. Why? I have it. I should read it. I am considering rereading The Night Watch this December. Your answers are fabulous.
@@anenthusiasticreader Thank you! Yes, I shall now rename all the prizes. 😄. I loved The Night Watch. That's a great choice for Remember December. I started making a reread list and it instantly was 20 titles long.
Great answers. I have only read one Octavia Butler, Bloodchild, which was very memorable. I'll have to check out The Paying Guest, Fingersmith is one of my favorite books.
@@jimsbooksreadingandstuff Thank you, Jim! I think you'd like The Paying Guest if you loved Fingersmith (I loved it, too). Bloodchild was wonderfully weird.
Let’s add Fran Lebowitz to the Get Off the Stick Prize! For about the last 16 months there’s been a book supposedly just about to come out, and she’s already a notorious writer for not having written a follow up to her earliest work. Come on Fran!
@@bookofdust Get it together, Fran! I don't know if it's more annoying to hear nothing at all or to keep hearing a book is about to come out. It's like an airplane that keeps getting delayed in short increments.

This was wonderful!! “Get off the stick” Prize! 😂 Just brilliant! Well done, Angelia!

@@user-qo6tz1oe1v Thank you!
The Sentence is my favorite Erdrich book (so far!) However, I ended up reading it 3 times in one year and I'm already thinking I should re-read it!
@@awebofstories It's really high on my reread list. I have Remember December planned out about 10 different ways already!
I love the Get Off the Stick prize 😆
