MN Lisa’s Comments (group member since Jul 20, 2023)

MN Lisa’s comments from the Hooked on Books group.

I'd be in for:
Joey
Job Hunt
Just a Taste
Julie Chan is Dead
Just Like Home
Killer Heart
Keeper of Lonely Spirits
Kiss Me, Kit
Kith and Kin
The Kingdoms
Known Associates

Of course some of these are long, so that usually scares me a bit and I'd have to check to see if I can even get a few of them.

Of course I didn't think it would actually work. Pretty sure Donna knows where I live."

I have never heard of home made kitkats, so that's interesting...

I already told Jenny what it is....It’s a wholesome challenge full of love and laughter. Well, I was full of laughter as I helped with the updates. 😆 🦦

I was going to start Broken girls tonight, so probably ready Sunday for Motel.Pool or Kidnapped

What spot? I've read that one a few times.

Kidnapped by the Pirate is my usual historical read when that came up in Bingo. I like it, so I'd read it with you.

Yeah. That's the Q3 Book Title Bonus Challenge.

Oh absolutely. I came to stir the pot, rearrange the puzzle pieces, and whisper unsettling things in your general direction. 😇

Her chaos is loud. Mine smiles and waits. 🎠🍫

Now, who’s ready for snacks and psychological unraveling? Let’s play. 😜

Jenny wrote: "Let's see if this works...

Hi Lisa! So nice to see you here. So, can you tell me what this new challenge is all about? Don't worry. I won't tell Donna that you told me."

I could and would… if KitKats were involved and Donna suddenly lost Wi-Fi.

(view spoiler)[It’s a wholesome challenge full of love and laughter.

You didn’t really think I’d tell you, right? That’s adorable. (hide spoiler)]

We have not had Sci-Fi yet.

ever seen kids play life sized hungry hungry hippo? they can get vicious. I've seen it....in downpour rain no less.

I think as long as we each read one of the 16, we could fill in with other books...???

For sure. Taking a break for something you are pretty sure you will enjoy now?

Looks like we have 4 clowns left after Stitches. Kirsten has one book left? Sing for the Coming of the Longest Night...

That's like three for me. LOL. Was it good?

I'm doing ok so far this month. i've read 4 of my historicals this month so far. I think....

Kirsten wrote: "Wow--good to know, because I do support a fair few kickstarter and feel very protective of those authors. And Isla Olsen has those good vowels and short books besides! I get most of hers from the library so I don't have to buy them. But that makes me v v sure I will never give her my money."

Me too. I do support a few an patreon and one on ream, but I get free books when they come out and they are authors I love and would buy anyway.

I try to avoid that, especially this month since Im not doing all the MPG cause historical is not my favorite.

Janine...maybe you can be on my team. I'm not gonna push myself to read more than one book a week. I haven't played the last two I think so I'm giving it another shot.

this is the wrong group to sponsor you to keep you out of challenges? 🤪🤪🤪 we are collectively in a lot. I'm in at least 14 myself.

🧩 Prompt #3: Legacy / Escape
Type: Split Prompt
What this means:
This is a Split Prompt, so each of you will choose one side of the theme — one picks Legacy, the other chooses Escape. Your books will be different but thematically connected.
For this one:
Legacy might mean a character tied to family expectations, carrying on a tradition, facing a prophecy, or dealing with generational weight.
Escape could involve running from the past, resisting control, breaking patterns, or physically leaving a place, person, or situation.
📌 Once you’ve both finished reading, post your Story Stitch (your connection blurb) in the Check-In Thread to unlock your next prompt.
You define the chains — and how to break them. 🗝️🏃‍♀️
