1/9 complete

I am really drawn to Carol & Debra Digs' challenges. The world needs light and hope and positivity for sure.

Such a great choice!! Congrats TerryJane!!

I nominate What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty The book is about a character who loses her memory. Here's the full synopsis:

Alice Love is twenty-nine, crazy about her husband, and pregnant with her first child.

So imagine Alice’s surprise when she comes to on the floor of a gym and is whisked off to the hospital where she discovers the honeymoon is truly over — she’s getting divorced, she has three kids and she’s actually 39 years old. Alice must reconstruct the events of a lost decade, and find out whether it’s possible to reconstruct her life at the same time. She has to figure out why her sister hardly talks to her, and how is it that she’s become one of those super skinny moms with really expensive clothes.

Ultimately, Alice must discover whether forgetting is a blessing or a curse, and whether it’s possible to start over.

It says my twin isn't accepting messages so hopefully, they can fix their settings or friend me :)

The Opposites Attract/Soulmates challenge from August was very popular. Many of us mentioned to TerryJane we wished we could do it again and maybe for a longer span of time than a month. I think a year-long version or even a quarterly version would be very fun! :)

Hi, there. I am a bit addicted to Patterson's books. They're always super fast-paced. And yes, I don't know how I've missed reading this one before. Glad I'll finally get to tackle it in October. I look forward to our discussion.

3/8 complete :)

This is tragic, especially after Goodreads already limits the number of threads one can start in an hour. Are they trying to make groups obsolete or what?

I am about 30% in and yes, Nina is pretty annoying. This book isn't exactly what I hoped it would be but I do hope to finish it before the month is up so I can discuss it.

2/6 now complete.

I started it today finally! I only read chapter 1 so far but tonight I have some time so I should be able to knock out several more chapters.

(view spoiler)[Poor baby Harry. His parents are dead and he's going to be stuck with the awful Dursleys. I find it interesting he has that lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead and Dumbledore said he couldn't and wouldn't remove it hmmm "You Know Who" sounds really, really evil. Can't wait to read more. It's been so many years since I read this book that I've forgotten almost everything so it's pretty much brand new to me lol (hide spoiler)]
