Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon discussion

Add a book to your pre-readathon TBR that is mentioned in a book blog, booktube, or other bookish social media site. Read the book.

I know I am not the only one with a bad habit of adding books to my neverending TBR that I may never actually read. So, this is a 2-parter. First you need to check out book blogs, booktubers, and other similar bookish sites. These sites rely on traffic stats and participation, if only so that the people maintaining them don't feel like they are wasting their time performing for no one. If you have a book blog, feel free to mention it in this thread, with maybe a note as to what sorts of books you tend to feature. If you have favorites you like to read/watch, add those to this thread too.
Part 2, of course is to choose a book featured on one of these sites, and read it. Don't just let the title languish on your TBR. While you still remember what you watched/read about the book that caught your interest, read the book. If you want to you might also chime in with what you thought of the book in the comments on the site where the book was mentioned.

Do we count BookTok for this? I get a ton of recs from Tiktok these days.

Yep. The point of this prompt is to show some love to all the folks helping put the word out on social media about great books worth reading, so it doesn't matter so much what the social media platform is.

IN PROGRESS. - this book was promoted/mentioned in my cozy mysteries facebook group. I jumped on it because it occurs in my hometown, Pittsburgh, is a cozy which I love, has ghosts and angels, and even a ghost cat. :-) I'm loving all the references to places I know from growing up in the 'burgh.

I lost track of where I saw this one talked about, but I recognized it from some blog/site I saw recently, when I was at the library. Interior Chinatown is about racial stereotyping on screen and in general in Western media and in the US. It is written in a pseudo-screenplay style, and blurs the line between reality and acting a lot. I really enjoyed this book, and highly recommend it.

Agree Jamie! Interior Chinatown is a thought provoking read.
