This one seems different than her others to me. Doesn't it?? The cover and everything.
Yes, I don't think I've ever seen a person on one of her covers. Rose bushes, houses, pools... no people.

Works for me!
Oh than you. I just started the book about 20 min ago but then fell asleep! Short Sat nap with rain. Sigh….

Can you link the thread? I was trying to add it to the calendar but couldn't find it.

I got a widget for Mad Mabel

I am in a few buddy reads and went MIA. I have had a death in the family. Just letting you all know I’ll check in next week hopefully. Thanks.

A few of us will be reading The Storm by Rachel Hawkins. It is currently read now for anyone who'd like to join us. The thread is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Has anybody else been invited to read Deathly Fates by Tesia Tsai? I just received it and was hoping there is someone out there I can read along with.
Let me know, thank you!

Excellent! Glad you can join us. I had a rough week with losses too. I was at two funerals this week - one of Thursday and one Friday.
Sorry to hear this, Kristie. This was my mother. Just lost my father in April. I’m still putting myself back together. But, reading gives me a very good escape when I can focus.
I'm so sorry, debbicat. It's always hard to lose a parent, never mind losing them so close together. Sending hugs to you.
Thank you, Kristie. It’s gonna take some time to sort myself out again. They were not very old either. In my opinion. 82 and 85. I’m trying to get back into being able to read. Focus is off. But it will come back.
Out today - Theresa and I will be starting this tomorrow (or somewhere there abouts)

I just saw that the newest 'in death' book is read now for the first 1000 members. I did not get it, but it was still available as of this posting.

Did anyone plan a start for The Storm or Daughter of Egypt? Also, I seem to be unable to log into netgalkey. Changed devices and I guess my password was saved on the old one. Does anyone know how to reset?

I just took a quick look at the threads. I think we are reading The Storm starting November 17th. Daughter of Egypt was suggested for January.
I don't know about resetting. Is there an 'I forgot my password' place to click? If so you can probably put in your email and get a temporary password or change your password that way.
