message 58: by Vicki Willis (new)

Vicki Willis | 871 comments I just got
The Inmate by Freida McFadden and The Paris Widow by Kimberly Belle
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!


message 59: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 2898 comments Mod
Have fun on your cruise, Vicki! I don't have either of those, but I bet they'll both be good.

Have fun on your cruise!!

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 | 2898 comments Mod
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?

Trisha | 1573 comments Theresa and I are starting

Kristie | 2898 comments Mod
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 (morethanmylupus) | 1111 comments Anyone have A Game of Lies (DC Morgan, #2) by Clare Mackintosh ?

YES! ME ME!!! I'm SO Excited for this one!

message 70: by Tasha (new)

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
One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware and would like to read with you. How about in April sometime? Do you have a preference?

I also LOOOOVE Harlan Coben, I requested Think Twice (Myron Bolitar, #12) by Harlan Coben , 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.


message 74: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 2898 comments Mod
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 (morethanmylupus) | 1111 comments Anyone have The Truth about the Devlins by Lisa Scottoline ?

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 One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware starting April 15.

Kristie, can you add it to the schedule?

Vicki Willis | 871 comments 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 The Inmate by Freida McFadden and The Teacher by Freida McFadden and I just got approved for One by One by Freida McFadden One by One which published in 2020.

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


message 98: by Vicki Willis (new)

Vicki Willis | 871 comments I got one that I am kinda regretting.
Breaking the Dark (Marvel Crime, #1) by Lisa Jewell 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?

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.


message 100: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 2898 comments Mod
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.
