Vicky (cooksalot) | 60 comments @Emma I've watched the movie a few times. I liked it.

Linda | 3 comments Hi! I hope I'm posting this in the right spot. Peter announced yesterday that next month's book is American Predator: The Hunt for the Most Meticulous Serial Killer of the 21st Century. The Kindle version is available for $13.99 right now which is the lowest I've seen it. I've wanted to get it for awhile so I've been price watching. If you need to pick it up, try to grab it soon :) Hope everyone is having an amazing day!

Jennifer Cuddon | 4 comments I thought I would pick it up on Friday. I think I'll go with the cheaper version which is ebook as well. Can't wait to get started. My husband saw the movie and he said it was great. I haven't seen it though. Linda wrote: "Hi! I hope I'm posting this in the right spot.

Lorel Holt | 17 comments Just a heads up if anyone is part of the book of the month subscription box. They have American predator as an add on for $9.99.

我是🌹 | 10 comments Truly looking forward to this months read! I usually don’t go for the true crime genre, but this one in particular was deliciously disturbing; and so I must!😌


message 58: by Jen (new)

Jen (jncahill) I just put my hold on it at the library but doubtful I'll even get it within the month (#24 on 2 copies). Can't afford to buy anything that isn't a necessity this month so I guess I'll focus on the extra credit ;)


message 59: by Amy (new)

Amy | 6 comments I want really read this book. I am on the library waiting list 8 weeks. So I may read it by September.


message 60: by Laura (new)

Laura | 4 comments I just ordered American Predator from Book of the Month Club yesterday. I’ve been a member of BOTM off and on, but they had a really good deal to join back for free, so I did two add on books for $9.99 each also. I got three hardbacks for $19.98! Something to think about.


message 61: by Jen (new)

Jen (jncahill) I'll be participating after all. Thanks, Megan. :)

Is it about an actual event?


message 65: by Micky (new)

Micky Peacock (mickyp) | 9 comments It was written as fiction at the time... to avoid defamation lawsuits.
Over the past couple of weeks the story has broke in mainstream media & convictions have been made against the individual for Sex Trafficking minors... Jeffrey Epstein, no sure how many people are familiar with what is going on but yes now it is an actual event & needs to be shared!


message 66: by Vicky (new)

Vicky (cooksalot) | 60 comments It sure does need to be shared. Mickey are actual names used? I need to read this one.


message 67: by Micky (new)

Micky Peacock (mickyp) | 9 comments I haven’t read it just yet! I doubt real names were used but James Patterson had 3 private detectives working for him at the time so i’m dying to read it!


Emmie.Reads.Books | 95 comments Y’all I just called my library to see if they could get a copy of American Predator so fingers crossed!

Jen (jncahill) Has the September book been chosen?

Mel (gingergonzoreads) | 652 comments Mod
Yes. We will announce today. Sorry for the delay everyone! Life has been crazy!


Emma ( Mrsbreads )  | 13 comments What is Septembers book? Xx


Emmie.Reads.Books | 95 comments Peter released the video for Sept.’s book! It’s called My Friend Anna.


message 79: by Jen (new)

Jen (jncahill) "Holds: 40 on 19 copies" at my library so I guess I'll put a hold on it and hope for the best...


Emmie.Reads.Books | 95 comments J.N., mine doesn’t even have it yet soooooo yeah lol.

It doesn't look like it's been out long. Not even a month, lol.


Ania🐰📚🍄🐛 | 81 comments Mine didn’t have it. I got it on audible and just paid for it since it was less than my monthly subscription.

Yikes.

Kristin Kraves Books (kristinkravesbooks) | 5 comments If anyone has Scribd it is on there! I already listened to it before I knew it would be September's pick. It is really interesting!


Emmie.Reads.Books | 95 comments I’m not for sure if I’m going to go for this one. This kind of true crime doesn’t interest me as much, so if I can’t borrow it from the library I’ll pass.


message 86: by Vicky (new)

Vicky (cooksalot) | 60 comments I can help someone if they need help.

Vanessa (52gatos) | 73 comments I was almost going to skip this one and lets just say i'm really glad i didnt. I finished it in just 2 days and man... what a wild ride. Cant wait to discuss with you all next month!

Yayyyyyyy


message 90: by Jen (new)

Jen (jncahill) Is anyone having issues with Scribd? I listened to two audiobooks (one being American Predator) this month and now pretty much any book I was going to read is marked as "available the day after my subscription renews." Even My Friend Anna is marked this.

Unlimited is 2 audiobooks? That's nuts. I didn't save anything to my "For Later" shelf, either (because last time I added too much to that, it did the same thing to those books). Now it's for any book I search that has an audio with it. I guess I will definitely be skipping this one out, then. I have too much physical and ebook stuff to read for September.

I noticed that available later business. But I'm finding that the cookbooks available to me makes up for it.

Cami Castle | 8 comments What's September's book?


message 93: by Kayla (new)

Kayla (mrsjeune0518) | 54 comments @J.N. If you read to many popular books back to back it cuts you off until the next billing cycle. I think the most I was able to read in one month was probably 4 or 5 books. sometimes it's less than that. it's never more than a few though. which is why i mostly use libby or audible.


message 94: by Emily (new)

Emily | 12 comments Yes what is September’s book


message 95: by Linda (new)

Linda | 3 comments Emily wrote: "Yes what is September’s book"

Hi Emily, the September book is "My Friend Anna: The True Story of a Fake Heiress" by Rachel DeLoache Williams

That's annoying. I guess it's not a bad deal for 2-5 but they should be upfront about it. I wish Libby had more of what I wanted but the selection of mine is slim, especially for true crime.

I hear you that it's annoying 😒. Then again I have way too much to do right now.🙄
