PIFM - Chat/Banter Review Your April Read
Welcome Veronica! And I hope I welcomed you too last month, Bookworm! If not, WELCOME to you too. One of the best threads ever!
@ Amber, I really liked the looks of Angel Dogs... but I'm a sucker for dog stories@ Ann I love Stout's books but had rated Now you See Me a half star more, so... Have you read any other Strout books?
Thanks for the welcome, Amy. I'm excited to participate in this.@ Ann - I recently read Blood on the Tracks and thoroughly enjoyed it so that got my vote.
I really like my third choice from March , The Butterfly Garden. If I have time I want to read more from that list! My review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Ooh this one is on my wishlist :)
After a tie, Everything, Everything surges to the lead@ Vicki, after reading those book descriptions, I need to pull the covers over my head :O
Me too Perri! I'm looking forward to reading it. and same here, Vicki ;)
Tie between Angel Dogs and Microbes and Men. 5 each.
@Perri and Dana That is so funny. My choices are a bit dark this month. I read Everything, Everything recently and LOVED it. (some lightness to my darkness!) I hope it wins for both of you.
It's so close -6 votes for Blindsighted
5 votes for Now You See Me
!!
Mine is close too -Monday Mourning with 6
Those Girls with 5
Updated my votes for the friends I missed :-))@Sophie, it may not be your cup of tea, but I was surprised by how much I liked it.
@Ann, I'm very sorry to have caused a tie, but had to vote for one of my faves. Maybe you could get to both next month! ;-)
@Vicki, I literally voted for EVerything, Everything with Perri & Dana because I remembered your enthusiasm when you read it not long ago!
@Veronica, I really like that series for your win. Quite popular with friends here.
I thought My Sister's Grave was sliding in there at the end to steal first but In a Dark, Dark Wood seemed to prevail. Ruth Ware for the win this month, with My Sister's Grave and Lost coming in tied for second. Thanks Ladies! Looks like it will be hardcover instead of a kindle this month.
I'm closing my list to votes on Wednesday.
I've picked books that I had on my Kindle from the Kindle Unlimited store. I got impatient and started reading Blood on the Tracks this month, I'm about 90% through and would definitely recommend. I think my winner is going to be His Kidnapper's Shoes. Sounds different and I'm looking forward to it.

I stumbled into that one recently, had no expectations going in as it was a new-to-me-author, and I was pleasantly surprised. As someone who regularly works with veterans who have PTSD I also think the author did a great job at portraying that through Sidney's journal entries at the start of each chapter. I'm looking forward to the second book in October.

I am off work, as many of you know.
But Still struggle to find time, always so busy...
As I can see runaway leads are great books.
Amy said, 'Ann, I'm very sorry to ...'no worries, Amy. I shall try to read them both!
Yay I am ahead and 2/3 of the way through my April read, makes a change lol
really enjoying it too, such an easy read. I'd forgotten how good this series is.ETA: now amended to the right book doh lol
Wow, for the first time I have a tie, and than a three-way-tie. I'll try to read all three books:

Great book! Love it and her follow-up, The Sun Is Also A Star
Sean, your vote pushed Now You See Me into the lead by one vote and actually, I'd already started Blindsighted ! It doesn't matter, because I'm really enjoying Blindsighted. Should get around to Now You See Me pretty soon :)
Glad they're both so highly recommended.
They were two of my favourites of last year, Ann! Along with Still Alice.
Dear PIFMers - thanks to your votes I'm going to have a great month of reading!
Sean's vote still couldn't catch Everything, but I also want to read Redemption Road if time allows
It would have been my first pick, Perri, if not for all the enthusiasm the last few months for your winner. I'm going to have to get a copy myself. I'd like to read it before the film.
Mod
both books are great !
Thank you Sean,now is
my winner. I still try to read the other two as well :-)
I am just back from a spring break to the Grand Canyon!Follow You Home
was my winner by a lot (though I havent updated my threads yet!)Am looking forward to it!
Vicki, isn't' the Grand Canyon, just GRAND?!Is anyone interested in a buddy read for Everything, Everything?
I will be reading it too Perry, as soon as it comes in from the library, if you would like to discuss!
Morning all, while not new to GR or even this group, first time I'm really exploring. So, just a quick question, is this about a certain selection of books or can I just post about my favs so far for the month?Thanks for any information :-)

I find this useful since I have a TBR list that is overwhelming.
Idlove to, Perri! I may go buy a copy instead of kindle just because it seems everyone loves it. I just finished Salt to the Sea and wished I owned a physical copy. It was so good in the end. Sad and tragic, but great.

Have fun with Everything, Everything guys! It's wonderful. Follow it up with The Sun Is Also A Star, it's great too!
The Girl In The Ice was the overwhelming winner for me. I started it last night so I'm not too far into it yet but it looks promising.
Although I am slowly reading my March book I made the mistake of picking up my April read,
. Darn it, I can't put this thing down.

PLEASE NOTE:
PIFM is meant to be FUN and not to be taken seriously. I would appreciate it if all participants just chilled and not get worked up about voting, who votes, who doesn't, etc. Please bear in mind that some will just want to vote, many don't come on everyday and most of us have time constraints. I just want a relaxed approach to it all and for you all to just enjoy the process! I'd really appreciate your courtesy in this matter. Thanks.
