Jennifer’s Comments (group member since Dec 03, 2021)

Jennifer’s comments from the On The Same Page group.

I bet one pops up for you when you least expect it, Lindsey.

Joy, you are terrible for my TBR. I don't think this is the first time I've pointed that out.

Oh thanks for catching my error, Martha!

Desley, here are your picks!

Time to pick! Pairs are here.

The March 2023 "Moderator Recommends" poll winner was The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman.

In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet up once a week to investigate unsolved murders.

But when a brutal killing takes place on their very doorstep, the Thursday Murder Club find themselves in the middle of their first live case. Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron might be pushing eighty but they still have a few tricks up their sleeves.

Can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer before it's too late?

Looking forward to seeing what you think!

We've had some questions about "rose gold" -- here's a snippet of a piece of rose gold jewelry although this is pinker than some I've seen -- really anything pink with a gold luster or anything gold with a pink luster will work. Do your best.

Looks like a good reading month to me, Lindsey.

Yes you did!

Wow... this one is tough. Of course, it does make me think that I'd probably read better if I applied these rules to every book I chose -there'd be a lot less junk LOL. Hmmmm. Let me look at my list!

Some of that cover is definitely rose-gold, Bonnie. :-)

There's one character in that series I find particularly annoying, and I always wonder why the other character she's mainly involved with tolerates her.

I'm finishing one today: .

That one is on my TBR too, Vikki.

That one works. :)

In for five, please!
PIFM"

Hi, everyone!

For anyone unfamiliar, this is a monthly challenge where you post a link to a shelf you created. It can be named "PIFM" or "Pick It For Me" etc, if you want one dedicated only to this challenge, or you can use an existing shelf you already have, as long as it has 100 or fewer books on it. The link must be to the specific shelf, or you will not be partnered.. Indicate how many books you would like to have picked for you from that shelf for the month in question. There is no lower limit as to how many books you can have on your shelf, but, of course, they should be books you are interested in reading during the next month and have ready access to.

On or about the 25th of each month, I will post who picks for whom. In order to accommodate an uneven number of participants, pairs will not be reciprocal -- in other words, it won't be Joanne picking for Jennifer and Jennifer picking for Joanne. It may be Joanne picks for Jennifer, Jennifer picks for Herman, and Herman picks for Suzanne, and someone else entirely picks for Joanne.

IF anyone has not been "picked for" by the 30th, I will pick for them if the designated picker can't be contacted by PM.

When you are assigned someone to pick for, note the number of books in parentheses after that person's name in the pick list, go to the link for their shelf, and pick that number of books for them. Post the books in a new message here. That person has the entire following month to read his/her picks. Someone will be picking for you the same way. We all like to see what people think about their picks, so we hope you will keep us posted in this thread!

Example: "In for five, please!
PIFM"

The HTML template for linking your shelf can be found HERE and if you have trouble, PM me and I will help you.

Your designated shelf must be set so that others can see it. To set up a PIFM shelf for those who would like to, go to the "MY BOOKS" link in the GOODREADS toolbar, scroll down below your shelves on the left until you see the "add shelf" button, and click that. Name it PIFM or Pick It For Me. Add books to it, and post the link to it in this challenge as described above. Again, if you need help, please don't hesitate to PM me!

If you are in for March, post your shelf and the number of picks you'd like to have below. See you on picking day!

Pairs:

Jennifer picks 5 for Desley
Desley picks 1 for Jackie
Jackie picks 1 for Martha
Martha picks 3 for Joy
Joy picks 3 for Lance
Lance picks 2 for Denise
Denise picks 5 for Jennifer

Hi, everyone! March's color are navy blue or rose gold. Looking forward to seeing your covers!

Oh, that one's on my TBR, Dee!

That cover is too clever, Andrea!
