Sounds like a great read for October!

I also have read TGLPPPS and enjoyed it also!

Hello and welcome Becca, Nilgun, and Mo! I hope that you enjoy the group and find some wonderful reads!

Hello and welcome to the group Michele! I hope that you enjoy it and I must say that nowadays, so of the Young adult books are just wonderful.

I love Agatha Christie!

Yeah, you almost need a spreadsheet to keep all the people straight.

Right now, I'm still reading Frankenstein and just started Caveat Emptor.

As a group, we read this at the beginning of the year and there were times that it just seemed to drag along, but for the most part I found it pretty engaging. I have never run a marathon, but I figured this was my marathon book and felt good when I finished it! Samantha, you might check out the depths of winter Russian buddy read poll(when it gets to working), that is one of the choices. Plus, there are threads already under the group reads if you want to see what we talked about during that time. We don't close down threads so we would love your input on what you are reading!

This seems to be a site wide problem and now they are looking into it. Hopefully, it will be fixed soon!

I always seem to have multiple books going at once also, so it is always nice to have a new club member!:)

I can add C&P when the poll is working.

Good luck! We are going to try for January so that gives you and us a little more time! Have Fun!

Welcome Mandy! Do you think you could get it to rain in my neck of the woods? Ha! I'm glad that you joined and hope that list gets to shrink a little bit, although I have found that GR tends to add to my lists instead of shrink them! Welcome and enjoy!

I just reported the problem so we will see what happens with that. Sorry about that!

I got the same error just now, so it must be a GR problem, will check their feedback site to see if that is a common problem right now.

Hello and welcome to the group Katrin! Congrats on graduating from med school! That is awesome! I hope that you enjoy the group and get to read lots of wonderful new books, that have nothing to do with school!

I'm afraid my pile will actually become an avalanche soon, but maybe next year sometime! Woohoo!

I am listening to The Furies of Calderon by Jim But..."

Wow! Sounds like a fun time!

Hello and welcome to Eui-jin and Rena! I'm glad you joined the group and I hope that you enjoy it!

I have started a poll for which book you would like to read next. It will be under polls so go ahead a vote.
