OMG, Diann! You have so many 5-star books on your list! And I want to pick all of them, but I have to go with one that I loved so much that I can still feel a couple of years later:

Are they still unable to loan through kindle? I own American Queen but I’d love to be able to borrow book 2 and 3 if possible. Robin checked for me awhile back and they weren’t lendable at the time.

Layne, I read Beartown a couple of weeks ago and It's possibly my favorite read from 2019. The storytelling is crazy amazing. Loved it. Enjoy.

I'd actually read it again with you...depending on when you read it. I have a proof coming up next week, but I loved this book. It'd fulfill one of my 52 in 52 challenges too. :)

Hi, Renee. I'm picking for you https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

[Michele]

I’m up for re-reading Mists as I’m using it for my challenges too. Should we set up a BR for anyone who wants to join in?

[Lisa]

I love all the Mists love! The Prologue is tough, but I promise if you just make it through that you will looooooooooooooove this one.

Leslie, you are in for one incredible read! It’s one of my favorite books of all time. <3

[Leslie]

I would LOVE a BR for Mists !!! Can it wait til I finish my single parent book??

[diann bryan]

That’s your pick for me book but I will chime in on your buddy read🥰 Loved that book

[Michele]

Leslie wrote: "I would LOVE a BR for Mists !!! Can it wait til I finish my single parent book??"

Yes, that's perfect - I'm in the middle of a few right now and want to squeeze in The Wives ;-)

[Lisa]

If anyone sees Catia - nudge her and let her know I'm ready for my PFM!!!

[Nay]

Leslie wrote: "I would LOVE a BR for Mists !!! Can it wait til I finish my single parent book??"

I'm in too! Michele and I were each just talking about rereading it last night and I was hoping that doing so would fulfill something in the 52 weeks challenge.

I'm trying to finish up an edit, but I'll start when everyone else is ready because I'm also trying to integrate a bit of reading with my daily editing breaks this year. I'm hoping that'll help me to not miss out so much around here, Maryse's, and FB when I'm working on something.

Thank you, Zilpha! I thought I'd already read this, but an entire story from the blurb isn't ringing a bell. I've loved some of Renee Carlino's other books!

Grey--FYI my book is Swear on this Life by Renee Carlino

[Lynette]

Thanks Jen!!!!!
