Please cast your vote now (write-ins are allowed) and join us in June!

That makes 😁 so happy to hear!

That does sound interesting. How’d your test go?

Eldarwen wrote: "Not sure how many I'll read between now and the next round of Bingo hehe. We shall see."

I'm interested to see if I continue to feel a pull to read on or not w/out the BSB push. I’ve definitely become attached to all of the characters and more are worming their way into my heart with each book.

WTG, y’all! & Congrats on your first win, Angie 😊

Looks good, Deanna :)

Thanks to all of our R27 readers! Hope you’ll join us again! 😁

CONGRATS, SCARLET SCRIBES, Angie, LaurLa & Victoria!

I've so enjoyed my deep dive into ID this round, just like my GR/SOS friends said I would.

My husband and I watched Fallen on AMC+ and it was bad. They didn't explain anything and the things they did (or kinda did) didn't make any sense to the viewer.

Anyone else watch this one?
IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22776032/

Based on Lauren Kate's series: Fallen, which I haven't read. I did a quick Google search and saw posts stating the show veered away from the book. Biggest - the book takes place in a school and the show took place in a policed mental/rehab facility.

😊 WTG! Your request to stamp R has been approved; if you have any issues stamping your card, let me know. Once you’ve stamped your card, go to the Captain’s Log and share a link with us. Thx!

I'm stickin' with ID and will read for L. So, I skipped your review, Eldarwen. You're never spoilery but I wanna go in fresh 😉

Bummer we didn't get a win, but it's been fun reading along w/y'all!

Second that!
