wow! that's a lot of books. I get 6-8 done per month usually, and that's with 1 or 2 of them being on audio while I run around. I definitely won't get to all my hopefuls this month, but I'm trying!

[Jennifer]

About halfway through



And really enjoying it. I've only read one other Jewell book but I think after this one she will definitely be added to my favorite author's list.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm a huge fan of this author too! AND I loved that one! I hope you do too!

[Sheridan]

I just finished "Sign Here" and I am SHOOK. I liked it a lot but have so many questions!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

oooh! I'm starting that one soon!

You can chat in the discussion thread here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

and anyone (or I can once I'm done) can respond!

[Jennifer]

oo yay!! I'm saving Sign Here for the end of the month, will probably be starting it at the end of this week or mid week next week ❤️

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I just finished - a beautiful, heart-breaking story filled with lore and love and memory. Ugh, so good.

I'm finishing up which I'm reading with a book club and really loving it too!

Then I'm starting for a book club tonight!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm starting

[Jennifer]

Right now I'm workin on from NetGalley but I'm really thinking I need to be reading more than one at once with the number of books I have to get through before the end of the year LOL.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

YES! I'm super focused on getting my netgalley backlog done too! I'm definitely working on more than 1 at a time - because I'm doing the audiobooks while I work, study, do chores, drive, etc and then work on a physical book when I'm able to. I had an arc of Love & Other (my book above) and I just never got to it UGH! lol

Good luck to both of us to get these Netgalley books done!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm finally getting through some of my backlog!

Finished up:
midway through - I plan to finish today

and working through:

December books are up! I'm in a terrible reading slump, I still have a paperback for a book club that I have to read this month and a couple of library books that I have to return if I don't read in the next week or so, how do you guys get out of a reading slump? Any suggestions?

I typically read short story anthologies
for some reason, the feeling of getting a small story "done" seems to get me moving quicker

or I read a book by an author I love
others say to re-read one of your favorites or try an audiobook.

Ty for the suggestions Trisha! I've used reading short stories before to get out of a slump, I actually have a Lovecraft book that I've been reading off and on for a while that I can easily pick up. I hate being in a reading slump! I think the holidays kind of makes me a little depressed and then I don't want to do anything, even read. Hopefully I can figure it out and get through my book club book because I was really looking forward to it before, I definitely don't want to read it and not enjoy it. I even have a review that I need to write and I just can't, ugh 😫

Well hopefully, picking my December books will cheer me up today lol

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ugh, reading slumps are the worst
I hope yours doesn't last too long!

[Michelle]

Finished The Wilderwomen and starting Other Birds

I just finished it. As I did not like the previous book I read by her my expectations were not high, but I was wrong and I did enjoy this book.

Well I didn't get to it before the series came out, but I haven't watched it either.

I finally read it and it was surprisingly a very good story. I have it a 5.

Now I have to plan to watch the series. I think Vanessa has a watch party going on or starting a new one soon.

[Ilsen]

Right now, I’m currently Babel from BOTM but I’m not sure how I feel about it so far.

[Elsa]

Well now that most of us have placed our order for this month, who's going to be reading what?

Maybe we can read something together, maybe we all can read it together.....

[Elsa]

finishing

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm bummed, both of my boxes are going to be delayed because of publishing dates.

I don't think I'll have either of my boxes until at least the end of next week, probably more like the last week of Sept 😥

The next ones I plan to read are:


however, I do have these as Arcs and can read anytime:

[Elsa]

I 4 of the 5 listed (I don't have )

the remaining all sound interesting so flip a coin and tell me when you want to star and I'll make sure I finish up my current read.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

How about or ?

[Elsa]

Let's go with the one with the higher rating:

Now the question is when do we start? I say probably after the 18th if boxes are going to be delayed. What do you think?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I have it now so I'm ready to start as soon as you can! Pick a date!

[Elsa]

I'll let. you know when I get my box then we can pick a starting day

[Elsa]

Elsa wrote: "I'll let. you know when I get my box then we can pick a starting day"

It shouldn't take to long, I know its one of your ARC's if you need to start it that's fine I'll catch up.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

oh, let me know when you get your box! I can wait!

[Elsa]

WILL DO

[Elsa]

I pretty sure the boxes will be here by the 20th. Want to start then?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yes, perfect!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

My books finally arrived!! YAY!
