Joanne, I've read both of your picks for Marie Benedict and liked them, so I'm picking her for you. I hope you enjoy!

Joy, I'm choosing these for you:
and
because I like the authors and
because I like the title. :)

I've heard such great things about Anthropocene. It's on my "to read get" list.

My initial impulse was to say no, but I'm thinking if someone goes as high as 9, it may get hard to find books that match at that point. So I'm going to say one book can be used twice, but it has to be for two different words in the title.
I've read one of your March picks and a couple others are on my TBR, so now I'm curious to see what you wind up reading for April. :)
Welcome to the motley!
I've seen quite a few "not as good as everyone seems to think" reviews in another group I'm in, and some mixed reviews elsewhere, so I don't think you're alone. :)
I have the same issue, Bonnie. I'm 2/3 of the way through a long kindle book I've had going for about a year because it keeps getting interrupted.
I love it when a pick turns into a loved book, Denise!I'm finishing my second pick today:
. I'm not as carried away with it as I was with
yet (I have between 1/2 and 1/3 to go) but it is holding my attention and I'm still glad I got two other books of hers during the Audible.com site-wide sale the other week.
Right?
I reread Jaws last year on a whim. I read it first when it first came out, and I was about 10 or 11. This would have been 1974, or maybe 1975, because it was newly out in paperback. In those days there was a little stationery/drug store next to our grocery store and it had a little tiny rack of bestselling paperbacks. I was totally fascinated with the cover of Jaws so I saved up my allowance and bought it.
.The movie is pretty good, actually. Also how's this for weird -- someone working on a cold case potentially spotted a long-dead unsolved murder victim in a crowd scene in Jaws and brought attention back to the case long after the fact. She's called "the lady of the dunes" - there's a wikipedia article about it.
Maybe a lavender or tangerine will fall into your lap. :) I'm always completely convinced that my shelf is riddled with whatever color until I actually go look!
That's OK, Desley - we'll see you in May!
Mine:
Hi, everyone! The winning book in the poll for the second quarter NF read for 2022 was The Woman They Could Not Silence: One Woman, Her Incredible Fight for Freedom, and the Men Who Tried to Make Her Disappear, with 24 votes. (The closest runner up was The Library Book with 18.)
The "read" runs from April 1 through June 30, and for you early birds, I hope approximately two weeks is enough time for you to go grab your copy. I'll put a thread up for "Woman" on the first.
If there are some of you interested in still reading "The Library Book" instead, chime in here and heck, we may put up a thread for that as well. :)
