I have Swans of Harlem. I am down to read it whenever

[Vicki Willis]

I just got
and
2 of my go-to authors
Anyone else have them and want to read?

I am actually in New Jersey! Getting ready to board a cruise with hubby to Bahamas for a week. I have lots of books loaded on my kindle so should be a good reading week.
I passed on getting internet so I'll be back after the trip!

[Kristie]

Have fun on your cruise, Vicki! I don't have either of those, but I bet they'll both be good.

The Inmate is one of my favorite Freida novels.

should we aim for early April? I have a few lined up for March already.

[Kristie]

Actually, Vicki, The Inmate has already been published, so I have it. I'm not sure about timing, but let me know your thoughts when you return and we can try to plan something.

April works for me! I am out of town for a birthday April 4-8 so maybe the second week of April?

Awesome. April 10th maybe?
Kristie, can you add this one to the schedule for us, please?

[Trisha]

Theresa and I are starting

- 3/4

Thread is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Kristie]

I think I've added everything to this point. Schedule is HERE if you want to check it out.

Shruti - I added Swans of Harlem to the schedule, but I didn't link it because there is no thread yet. I will update it once that is created.

[Tasha]

Enjoy the cruise, Vicki!

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

Anyone have ?

Apr 23 pub date

YES! ME ME!!! I'm SO Excited for this one!
but I probably can't start until late late March or very beginning of April

[Tasha]

I have this one too! Late March, early April works for me. :) I'm looking forward to it. :)

I didn't realize that when I got it. I am going to start it next because t is the only book I have past pub. I will look for your review when you get to it.
(Do you have it from Netgalley or just from owning it?)

Yes! You get away for just a few days and there are so many posts!

I have
and would like to read with you. How about in April sometime? Do you have a preference?

I also LOOOOVE Harlan Coben, I requested , but am still waiting. If I get it, i would like to read that one with you also.

No worries, Vicki! I own it, so I'll just get to it whenever. You know how it is - I have to prioritize ARCs and pretty much everything else before getting to the books I own. lol I'll be interested to see what you think of it.

[Kristie]

I know... It's so backwards. I only buy books that I really want to read, but then everything else takes precedence because I know those books will always be there whenever I'm ready to read them and there is no due date.

It's funny because I now have a small library and a friend recently asked me if I had read all the books in my library and I said no, those are pretty much all books I haven't read.

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

Anyone have ?

I requested it ages ago and it was finally approved today.

The trip was great! Just what I needed. I read a lot and came back super refreshed.

I set up a thread for starting April 15.

Kristie, can you add it to the schedule?

Done! :)

[Vicki Willis]

I am on a Freida McFadden terror right. I think bc she is one of the hot writers right now they are bringing out some of her older books.

I just read and and I just got approved for One by One which published in 2020.
Anyone else get that one?

[A]

Does anyone have any of these books?



And if so, anyone interested in doing a buddy read in April or May?

[Trisha]

I have 2 of them!!
but I should probably catch up before I schedule more. . .if no one else plans them with you, can we chat to schedule next week?

Thanks, Trisha! :)

[Elyse]

I just got a widget for Look in the Mirror by Catherine Steadman. we had previously read The Family Game and I also recently read Something in the Water. It publishes July 30. Does anyone want to buddy read in early June?

[Tasha]

I'm going to look into this, I love her books.

[Tasha]

I requested it, I'll let you know when/if I am approved.

[Trisha]

they sent me a "you should request this from us" link
so hopefully I'll get it soon! Fingers crossed!

[Marnie]

I have it too and early June works for me.

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

same! took them a day or two to approve it, but it just came through.

[Elyse]

Great! I'll create a thread later or someone else can. I haven't used my laptop or computer in awhile.

[Tasha]

I got approved! I'm excited about this one. I enjoy her books. :)

Yes let's! I'm a little behind on my reading due to a family emergency, but I'm trying to catch up.

[Vicki Willis]

I got one that I am kinda regretting.
Breaking the Dark
I requested it because it was Lisa Jewel, but I didn't realize it is like some kind of Marvel story. Then I go back and realize she is already hit or miss for me... ugh

Did anyone else get this one?

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

I didn't request it because I wasn't sold on the idea that this author can do a superhero character well. Waiting for some trusted people to review.

[Kristie]

Oh no, Vicki. I really enjoy Lisa Jewel and almost requested it, but I saw that it was based off a super hero so I borrowed a graphic novel about the same character first to see what she was like. I had to DNF that one due to the writing and graphics, so I decided to wait on requesting. I hope you end up enjoying Jewel's version.
