Nope, but I have an ARC! ;-)

[Tina]

Save it 'til late fall. lol

[Tina]

Sad. I had to have my Tigger put down this morning. She was to be 19 in one month but didn't make it. She leaves behind her sister of same age. I can see she's lost without Tigger as am I but Tig was starting to show illness and then took a turn for the worse. It was inevitable that she had to leave us. I miss her. :-(

[Nicole]

I'm so sorry to read your news, Tina. It's such a difficult loss to bear. Please take care!

[Mark Pghfan]

So sad to lose a beloved pet. My sympathy.

Thank you, Nicole. Busying myself to stop from thinking too much yet don't want to dismiss her from memory.

Thanks, Mark. Yet, we were able to keep her for another week+ and then were let known it was time. Just wanted to make sure we weren't premature; we're dealing okay with things.

Just saw this :( So sorry! Furbabies are hard to lose.

[PugMom]

Do we have any ideas for next month?
Has anyone read this one? It looks fun!

Sounds good; I think Nicole read it but perhaps she'd be up for a re-read.

[Tina]

My dream? lol That we could find a great, fresh new title that no one's read yet. Like, we're all discovering it for the first time.

I know you PI's are Biblio Greats and have often read books before the authors even knew they were out lol (a gift, indeed. I'm envious) but...okay, I feel uncomfortable asking you to re-read a book you've already spent time reading.

I'm bearing my soul here. Please don't be angry with me. lol

[Mark Pghfan]

I don't mind rereading a book if I've enjoyed it. Certainly not the Christies! It is fun to share a book with others, if you liked it in the first place. (Or forgotten that you read it!)

The Marchmount book sounds good, and at only 99c in Kindle, doable given our library Covid limitations.

[Nicole]

I’ve read it (Good eye, Tina!) but it’s been awhile and I can barely remember what I read last week, lol. 🤣

[Nicole]

I’m with you, Tina! A new book would be a pleasure!

[PugMom]

We have some time so I'll keep my eye out for a new one.
Has anyone read this? It's pretty new though.

Murder at the Mena House

[PugMom]

This one claims to be "quirky"

Back at ya, Nicole. You caught that I caught it. Well played, PI Extraordinaire.

Should have you pick a brand new, spanking, awesome title. Not too much pressure, huh? lol

[Tina]

Several titles that you PI's posted sound good.

[Nicole]

I'll read anything!

I copied this from an author's page on Facebook and thought I'd share with my fellow PIs! Mark, I think this might be of particular interest to you. :-)

Nicole: I saw this on Facebook (there are LOTS of Christie pages there!) Very interesting, especially how things changed by the decades.

Cool breakdowns, Nicole. Several peaks mid-way from 20's to 70's. Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[Mark Pghfan]

I did see that on Facebook. Someone must have taken a lot of time to do this!

[Tina]

Indeed they did, Pghfan.

[Nicole]

Yes! I think it's quite interesting. I believe I shared this book with you before, but I'm going to again - I picked this up in a used book store a couple of years ago (I found another copy to give as a gift to my SIL, they're not that hard to find), and it's a great reference!

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

[Mark Pghfan]

I've got that book and I'm looking at it right now!

[Mark Pghfan]

I am much delayed responding to Nicole's six book suggestions for August. I'm ruling out This Side of Murder and Dangerous Engagement as too expensive. The Blue Rose and Murder at Archly Manor are OK with me, if we decide that way. The Christie Caper is my choice as I already have the book!

[PugMom]

I can get the Christie Caper from the library.

[Tina]

Read Christie Caper and can't recall if I liked it or not. Though I'd pick Archly Manor, I'll go along with majority vote.

[Nicole]

I’d be very happy to read Bunburry again - I have no recollection of the story. I just pulled some random titles from my TBR stack to throw into the mix....does anyone else have a similar pile of “Gee, I really want to read this one day” books? 😀

[Mark Pghfan]

I've got an ENORMOUS to be read pile!

[PugMom]

I'm afraid to find out the actual number of my TBR books LOL

[Tina]

Hey, gang, go with Christie Caper if you like and I'll contribute from memory.

[Mark Pghfan]

Are we on board for Christie Caper? I can host if you'd like.

[Nicole]

Sure! Thanks for hosting, Mark! :-)

[Mark Pghfan]

I better get started reading! Look to start right on August 1st.

[PugMom]

I'll get it from the library. Have to finish some things up for July before I can start reading.

[Tina]

I'm here via memory and spirit, PI's.

[Mark Pghfan]

Still looking to start The Christie Caper on Saturday. I'm re-reading and frankly don't remember much of this at all. It was a long time ago!

[PugMom]

I'll be able to start reading on Saturday and catch up on the posts during the week.

[Nicole]

Mark, what's the first block going to consist of?

[Mark Pghfan]

Starting up today! Chap 1-11.

[PugMom]

This book popped up as a suggested read for me. Has anyone read it? It's a few years old so it shouldn't be too hard to find. Just an idea for next month to get the ball rolling! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
