It has been quiet around here. How are you doing Patricia? Reading any good books lately?
When are you going to start your tomato seeds this year? I started mine too late last year and I only got a few plants to thrive.
Vicki, I am glad you reminded me. I believe I will start some seeds as soon as the weather warms a little more. By the way, I am reading
by Sally Hepworth. Didn't you read one of her books recently?
OOOh Tomatoes. I'm thinking March for me. Or when spring fever hits me too hard to stop. Patricia, you're in CA ? I have a greenhouse.In book news, I just finished Murder on the Nile by Agatha Christie. The only book I'd read of hers before was And Then There Were None,
That is awesome Perri, to have a green house. I think my seeds were stunted because I left them outside over night last year. Yes Patricia. I just finished
The Mother-in-Law. It was not that exciting or surprising. I have The Good Sister ready to go so I will be waiting to see how you liked jt.
Welcome Jennifer. I have voted for one of your books and posted it. It is a great way to pick your next read when you have a cast of thousands like I do.
Vicki, I just finished The Good Sister and found the first portion of the book to be a little slow. The last 100 pages or so were much more interesting. I actually stayed up late to finish it.
Sorry to be late with voting, will do it today. In the middle of a house move so spending my time packing boxes, 3 weeks to go and so much still to do.
Yes! Moving is so much work!Good luck with that!
We need to recruit people to participate in the April PIFM. This has been so much fun that I hate to see it just wane. I have found myself looking closely at my collection of books and trying to decide which to read next. PIFM has always been helpful.
Yes, hopefully some more people will join us!My winner this month is When All Is Said
I have it on audible.
Papa Hemingway is my winner. I have had it on my shelves over 20 years. It is about time I actually read it.
Sorry, guys! I seem to have bypassed March altogether. Hope no one needed a tiebreaker.

I started my book on audible and it isn't really "my" kind of book. I find these type of "character/life reads" not very interesting. It sounded good on the description and it isn't bad, but not very exciting.
I finished my March pick
When All Is Said.I am in the minority, but it was a 3 star read for me. I can see why a lot of people loved it and felt it was a heartfelt story. I found it a bit slow and boring.
I am also in the middle of my February read. It is awful. I hate it. I should have DNF'd a long time ago, but now I am too far in. This is one of the worst books I have ever read.
Deadly WatersIt is so strange because I have read this author before and really like her books.
This one is very inflammatory and stereotypical and man hating. I don't have one good thing to say about it.
I finished 3 books in March and they were called End Game of The Most Dangerous Game Golden State Killer by Anne Penn and Evasive Action by Carol Ericson and Unraveling Jane Doe by Carol Ericson
So my house sale and move completed yesterday and I’m looking forward to being able to sit and read at last. I haven’t even started my March read yet, half way through another book so some major catching up to do!
Oh that’s cool Sue and good for you Sue and you’ll get back to reading your books in March Sue and I hope your book is going good Sue
That's awesome Sue! Good luck with all that. Christine - how was the book about the Golden State killer?
Hello! I’m new around here, and this is my first foray into a goodreads club, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. Where can I find the rules? Also, do y’all not pick a book to read every month?
@SumerThis thread works a little different. We don't all read the same book.
We choose books from other people's lists for them to read.
Check out the READ and SELECTION threads for the specific rules.
It basically works like this
You choose 5 or whatever number books you might want to read and post them on the READ thread for that month.
We will each vote which one we think you should read on the SELECTION thread.
Then you read and comment on this thread.
Hope that helps.
Vicki Willis the book called End Game of The Most Dangerous Game Golden State Killer by Anne Penn was really good and oh that’s cool Sue
I finished Thief River Falls yesterday, it was a good read, fast paced. The ending caught me completely off-guard so all in all a good choice.
That is one I own Sue. Glad to hear it is good.
Vicki Willis wrote: "That is one I own Sue. Glad to hear it is good."Yes I’d recommend it - and quite a quick read too.
I just finished
Papa Hemingway. This is one of the best books I've read in years. Now, I feel it necessary to read some of his books. I can't believe that I haven't read a book or short story by Papa. Where have I been?
Vicki, it is a shame that your March pick wasn't good. At least you finished it. I tend to do the same thing . I always hope that the end has some great surprise.
Wow! I totally blew off PIFM for March!
I was wondering where you have been, Kirsten. Read anything good lately?
Vicki Willis wrote: "I was wondering where you have been, Kirsten. Read anything good lately?"I am SO lazy lately!!
Gotcha! Sometimes self care and doing what your mind and body needs is the best!

PLEASE NOTE:
PIFM is meant to be FUN and not to be taken seriously. I would appreciate it if all participants just chilled and not get worked up about voting, who votes, who doesn't, etc. Please bear in mind that some will just want to vote, many don't come on everyday and most of us have time constraints. I just want a relaxed approach to it all and for you all to just enjoy the process! I'd really appreciate your courtesy in this matter. Many thanks.
