We likey, Pghfan!! Thanks.

Title pick count tab'd by tonight. Busy day, will be able to get to it by eve. Unless, someone wants to count up the votes? Feel free. If there's a tie, we'll figure something out!

Off to the doc I go.

Looks like we have a tie: Three Drizzle, Three Thyme. Mmm?

Okay we can either do one for main read, other for side read. Or leave side read with Lucy Stone's Turkey mystery. Then that will necessitate a 2nd separate vote. (lol High roll stakes, here).

What to do, what to do? Have three reads in Nov. lol JK, JK though several of you are up to the task.

I'll give up Lucy Stone's Turkey if it will accommodate both tied titles. But then that may not be good all way 'round. If it is okay with all PI's, then we need to figure which of the titles gets main read and which gets side read? Holy cow! lol

Nicole (nicolevickers) | 1814 comments My vote is to have a tie-breaker with the two front-runners! :-)


message 54: by Kristie (new)

Kristie (kristiesbooknook) I’m okay with the tied books being the main and side reads. I already read Diva/Thyme and likely won’t re-read. Seems like Lucy isn’t too popular lol! I can wait until next turkey day to read that book.

Jill Tool | 992 comments I'm back after two surgeries within four days, and almost three weeks in the hospital I'm finally out of the hospital. and I cancelled my knee surgery, found out I'm not a fan of surgeries and all the infections that go with them. Thank you all for the private messages wishing me good luck and wondering how I was recovering, it was so touching?

Didn't even know you were ill, Jill. No body tells me anything. :-( Glad you're out and on the mend!

Upside is you can tell I don't gossip. lol

Kristie, I'd really like a Lucy Stone as side read as she does write a festive holiday mystery. Maybe Jill can be our tie breaker.

Okay, here's the thing...Drizzled is one I 've been wanting to read but if you look at the ratings, they are pretty bland. And though we can't always rely on them as far as high marks go, when they give low marks, it's usually for a reason.

My honest choices would be Diva/Thyme and Lucy Stone's Turkey. Okay there, I feel a weight off my shoulders. lol

Jill - glad you're back! Hoping all is mending quickly for you.

I'll switch to Diva/Thyme to break the tie if that helps...I can read Drizzled whenever I get to it.

Thanks, Allison!!

How about Diva/Thyme as main read, Drizzled, side? I'll read Turkey on my own. Would that be okay with everyone? Then we can move to obtaining books.

Nicole (nicolevickers) | 1814 comments Okay by me!

PugMom (nicoleg76) | 2014 comments I'll join in on any discussions when if I can remember what happened but I won't be rereading books. I'm sure my memory will be refreshed as the discussions progress.

1. Welcome back, Jill! I also didn't note that you were having and medical issues, but am happy you are back on the boards!

2. I'm happy with Thyme being chosen. I can start the discussion on November 1st.

LOL All the holiday buzz! I love it!! Now if only we lived closer to Pghfan, we could crash his Thanksgiving Day feast. We'd make it worth his while to let us in; knowing the PI's, we'd bring bunches of covered dishes to add to the cornucopia!

What would you bring? Mmm? I'd stop at the chocolatier in town and pick up several pounds of different chocolates and the spirit store to fetch a huge bottle of Grand Marnier. Warmed brandies and chocolates for everyone!!

Anyone who brings me chocolates is ALWAYS welcome at a dinner at my house! Friendsgiving will be held on November 19th!


message 69: by PugMom (new)

PugMom (nicoleg76) | 2014 comments Oh, Tina...if I can have a splash of that Grand Marnier to add to my homemade cranberry sauce, I'll bring that! It's my secret ingredient!

Thankful for you!

I hope to start "Thyme" on November 1st. I already had the book, but hadn't read it, and I've already started.

I just got an e-copy to hold me over 'til hard copy arrives so I'm good any time.


message 76: by Nicole (new)

Nicole (nicolevickers) | 1814 comments I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I have this book in 3 formats, lol: Kindle, Audible, paperback. ;-)

LOL Don't be. You have every angle covered. Like the Boy...or Girl Scouts, you are prepared!! ;-)

Belt and suspenders, eh, Nicole?


message 79: by Nicole (new)

Nicole (nicolevickers) | 1814 comments Lol. I had the ebook first and then bought the Audible version last year when I was looking for something to listen to during my November walks (I like season appropriate books) and then received the paperback as a gift quite by accident. :-)

Good choice, Nicole! Yum!

BTW, I tried using front door pic on masthead then thumbnail and neither would take. Something about dimensions. :-( Got any more for fall, feel free to send.

Thin mints first (I love chocolate and mint) and then the peanut butter ones, I can't remember the name right now.


message 84: by PugMom (new)

PugMom (nicoleg76) | 2014 comments Yes, same thing on Facebook...has to be certain dimensions. I can create something on Fotor when I get home tonight that will probably fit the size requirements.

Nicole, the photo is wonderful! I'll be on my more trusty device tomorrow and will post it then. Have place for the graphic cleared already. ;-) . Thanks again!


message 93: by Nicole (new)

Nicole (nicolevickers) | 1814 comments Apologies - I've lost track! Are we having a side read this month? If so, is it Drizzled with Death? And if we are and it is when do we start? :-)
