Thank you for your kindness, A!

Let's schedule it. I'm getting back on track slowly and I'll work around what we plan.

Elyse (winesaboutbooks) | 1523 comments I just got a widget for Jodi Picoult's newest By Any Other Name by Jodi Picoult . It's not as grave and serious as like all of her previous books. lol. It's a historical about the woman who maybe penned Shakespeare's works. I'm a big Picoult fan but I'm not really sure about this one! lol. It publishes August 20 if anyone wants to buddy read end of July or early August.

Kristie | 2898 comments Mod
I also got the Picoult widget, but I'm not sure if I'm going to accept it. I love her work, but I'm just not sure about reading about Shakespeare and an early review I read said it contained quite a bit of poetry, which I'm not a fan of. I'm just concerned if I'm not loving it that I'll have 528 pages to get through. I'm undecided as of now.

Shruti and Trisha, is august 1st ok to buddy read this The Swimmer by Loreth Anne White ? :)"


The Swimmer looks good, but I didn't get it and it is wish for it now. I've actually not read anything by this author, but her books always end up on my TBR.

B, my GR friends have rated Baby X from DNF to 5 stars. You never know, it may end up being one you love.

Vicki Willis | 871 comments Did anyone get a copy of The Housemaid Is Watching (The Housemaid, #3) by Freida McFadden The Housemaid Is Watching?
I got an email with a copy today, but I haven't read part 2! So I quickly got it on audible (my library has a 4 month wait) and am listening to part 2 so I will be ready to read Watching in time for publishing.
