Brooke, The Last Time I Lied is one of the best mystery thriller books of the year on Amazon! And another one of my favorites Crimson Lake. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend!

I hope the fires don’t get any closer to you!

Laura wrote: "Geri, I finished The Girl of Fire and Thorns. I liked it and want to read the second book! "

Great! I thought it was good too. I’m jealous of you and Brooke. You two get to read Nine Perfect Strangers now.

UGH! I’m #4 on the waitlist for Nine Perfect Strangers. It will be a few weeks before I get to read it. But I will wait. I don’t want to buy if I don’t have to.

I had to return Lethal White... I'm now 14 on the list. I'll try again."

Lethal White is very long. Not sure it had to be so long. And be prepared for lots of personal drama! Some people enjoyed it. Me not as much.

Laura wrote: "I need to squeeze time in for a quick library trip to pick up my 4 new books!!"

Fun! I love that too! I have 3 requests at my library for new books that should become available to me today or tomorrow.

Let me know what you think of Girl of Fire and Thorns. Did you finish Lethal White?

The Great Alone was a tough book to read - although I rated it 4 stars, I can't say ..."

I felt the same way when I finished the book. I couldn’t say I enjoyed the book. Great writing, tough subject matter!

Laura, I will have my books done. I only got a few hours of sleep last night. So that helps!

"

I can understand that. It has to be a lot of work putting books where they fit best. I do appreciate all the work our captains do! Laura and Sandy!

I don’t watch news during the day so I haven’t heard about the shooting. So sad and tragic!

Our new word for week 3 is "Travel" for those of you planning ahead.

I think I might like our longer words better! I'll update the planning spreadsheet today.

So, I checked out the status she..."

Laura, I noticed on the new spreadsheet there is a new column for points instead of alternatives. Do you want us to list alternatives or just wait until we post?

Why are some teams not posting their books? I try to post as soon as I finish so I don’t forget.

I do have a couple of books that work for V and still have some big books to read. I am determined to clear some of these books off my shelves since some have been there for awhile! LOL

Laura wrote: "Anyone else have pets?"

You are right, Laura, I have 2 very spoiled cats. My girl cat, Gigi, spends Fall and Winter on our laps, 24/7 or at least it feels that way. :)

Loved reading all the details of everyone’s pets!

I can relate, Laura, about all the shedding! My couches and chairs have blankets on them all the time. It’s easier to wash them regularly rather than vacuum the couch and chairs every time guests come over!
