I don't have any set plans but I definitely want to spend some time reading outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. I will also probably go on a motorcycle ride and spend some time with family.

[Vivian]

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: Do you buy special editions and/or multiple copies of your favorite books?"

I don't typically buy special editions, but I will buy multiple copies of my favorite book. I try to get one that's signed, if possible, and another one to actually read.

QOTD: What book(s) have you recently removed from your TBR? Why?

[Vivian]

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What’s that one book you just refuse to read despite its high praise?"

I can't pick just one.

Anything by James Patterson.
I probably won't read anymore books by Riley Sager or Seanan Mcguire. All pretty popular authors.

[Vivian]

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What book(s) have you recently removed from your TBR? Why?"

Gerald's Game by Stephen King
Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding
The Long Walk by Stephen King

+more but I can't remember

[Dawn]

Removed? None. Passed over? Quite a few!

[Elizabeth]

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What book(s) have you recently removed from your TBR? Why?"

I don't actually have a TBR. I have a list of bokos/author I'd like to try when I get to them but it's of no real priority.

[Laurel County]

QOTD: What is your favorite romance trope?

[Dawn]

Beauty and the Beast—scarred (emotionally/physical) hero

[Elizabeth]

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What is your favorite romance trope?"

I like a classic cinderella story, introvert and extrovert pairing.

[Laurel County]

QOTD: How many books do you have left on your TBR? Are you trying to finish anything before the end of the month?

[Vivian]

I still have yet to finish Billy Summers. I don't know why it's taking me so long. I only have like 200 pages left.

[Laurel County]

QOTD: What do you do with unread books that have set on your shelf for years?

[Vivian]

If I don't have any interest in reading them anymore, I'll take them to Half Price or McKays. If they're ARCS, then I'll either trade them or put them in a Little Free Library.

[Debra Diggs]

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What do you do with unread books that have set on your shelf for years?"

Sometimes, I hang onto them, thinking I will eventually get to them. Other times, I donate to the library or give away to anyone who will take them.

[Debra Diggs]

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: How many books do you have left on your TBR? Are you trying to finish anything before the end of the month?"


I am trying to finish 3 books this month:
- Independence Day: Silent Zone by Stephen Molstad
- Connecticut Bootlegger Queen Nellie Green by Tony Renzoni
- Let Me Tell You About a Man I Knew by Susan Fletcher

... It is not looking good.

[Elizabeth]

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What do you do with unread books that have set on your shelf for years?"

It's hard for me to let go of books, but if they just don't interest me anymore I'll donate them.

[Laurel County]

QOTD: Do you have any fun plans for the weekend other than reading?

[Debra Diggs]

I plan to paint some ceramics and do some yard work (planting, mowing, cleanup).

[Vivian]

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: Do you have any fun plans for the weekend other than reading?"

I have to work this weekend. Does that count as fun lol?

[Elizabeth]

I work, and have an anniversary cook out to attend after. Not much time- if any- for reading though!

[Laurel County]

QOTD: What's your favorite board game? Why?

[Elizabeth]

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What's your favorite board game? Why?"

I love trivial pursuit, nothing will tear my family apart faster than when we split into teams and one is losing terribly lol

[Vivian]

I'm lame, but I really enjoy playing scrabble. I'm not great at it though. It's just fun challenging my brain a little bit, and seeing what kind of words other people come up with. It's not as fun with only two people, but I still love playing it regardless.

[Jennifer]

Monopoly! I grew up playing this game with my family and best friends. The game brings back many fond memories, I guess that's why it's still my favorite board game!

[Dawn]

About any trivia games, SmartAss, Scrabble

[Laurel County]

QOTD: In honor of Mother's Day, what book features your favorite mother-child relationship? And/or what tv show/movie?

Book- Marmie from Little Women. I always thought she was so warm, wise and compassionate.

T.V.- Fran and Sylvia from The Nanny! They're HILARIOUS together!
