I'm excited for it, starting as soon as I finish The Grave Tender.

Haven't had a chance to pick this up today, but did get a couple chapters in the first night & I like it too. Read a couple of books by this author before and the men are always enjoyable 😉😉 So trust we're probably in for one hellva ride!!

Starting this after I put the kiddos to bed!

Didn't we finish the second book? Or I'll look and see which I have marked read.

Right. I think it would be like a countdown and theres no way I could enjoy my life.

Glad you girls are in!!!!

I'm excited about this one! I don't think personally I'd want to know my death date, but I find the idea fascinating! Who's all reading with me??

I think I had unsub on BOTM list! But whatever doesn't make monthly we can BR!!!

Thats probably what it was. Glad you liked it.

This thread is where we'll discuss The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin prior to reading it. No Spoilers!



If you were told the date of your death, how would it shape your present?

It's 1969 in New York City's Lower East Side, and word has spread of the arrival of a mystical woman, a traveling psychic who claims to be able to tell anyone the day they will die. The Gold children—four adolescents on the cusp of self-awareness—sneak out to hear their fortunes.

Their prophecies inform their next five decades. Golden-boy Simon escapes to the West Coast, searching for love in '80s San Francisco; dreamy Klara becomes a Las Vegas magician, obsessed with blurring reality and fantasy; eldest son Daniel seeks security as an army doctor post-9/11, hoping to control fate; and bookish Varya throws herself into longevity research, where she tests the boundary between science and immortality.

This thread is for members to check in throughout The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin. You can share your reading progress or any of those moments that you just have to tell someone about here. Please use spoiler tags when necessary!

This thread is where we'll discuss The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin after reading it. Spoilers welcomed! Feel free to share your GR review links.

This thread is to discuss Built by Jay Crownover. This group BR starts April 1st and anyone is welcomed to join, please use spoiler tags when necessary.



The first in the new SAINTS OF DENVER series from NYT bestselling author of the MARKED MEN series, Jay Crownover

Sometimes you have to tear everything down to build something new…

Sayer Cole is frozen inside. At least, that’s what it’s felt like for as long as she can remember. She’s yet to let anyone past her icy exterior – and the one guy she thinks might melt her heart couldn’t possibly be interested in someone so uptight.

Rough, hard and hot-as-hell, Zeb Fuller has rebuilt his life and his construction business since protecting his family sent him to jail all those years ago. His elegant client, Sayer, makes him feel like a Neanderthal in denim, but despite the many hints that he’s been dropping to get to know her better, she seems oblivious to his charms.

Just as things finally start to heat up, Zeb’s past comes back to haunt him and he needs Sayer’s professional help to right a wrong and to save more than himself. As these opposites dig in for the fight of their lives, fire and ice collide in an unstoppable explosion of steam…

Me too!

Ugh, I hate having to do this. But I DNF'd this book. I wanted this to work for me, I literally gave it 3 weeks of my life. The storyline and the writing were solid, but for some unknown reason I could not get into this story. Which I hate because not only was this our BOTM, but I received this for review. I feel horrible I wasn't able to stick with it. I hope whoever else decided to join in has better luck with it than me.

Are you? Ugh! I gave up like at 38%. I had been trying to read this since the 1st and it just couldn't hold my interest. BUT I would like to know whats happens so make sure to check back in and let me know. I liked the idea, for some reason I just couldn't connect.

Welcome Chrissie! That's something that I've just recently learned to do. I hated not finishing a book, but lifes too short & there are way too many books to waste my time. Looking forward to getting to know you and talking about all the books we love.
