It’s my book club read and didn’t know it had HF in it.

[Janeylou]

I could do either actually

[Janeylou]

Kat, do you think the rest of your team will join in ?

Not sure to be honest. Hopefully, I’ve tried to message them and only one of them accepts messages.

[Kirsten]

Whatever works for me.

[Jessica]

so have we decided on a book?

[Kat]

This book is an option The List of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godfrey

[Jackie]

How about

[Janeylou]

To be perfectly honest , i dont think im going to love whichever book we pick as mainstream historical is not my jam, BUT i also know that ive read books i dont like much with my team and they do make it better. 😊

@ NN , not sure if youve done many BRs within your team but we have and tbh we do have a good time , get sidetracked, have lots of differences of opinion , come out hating it , come out loving it .

But we do need to make a decision ..today, so think we all going to have to step out of our comfort zone 😄😄

As long as its under 400 pgs , and free/ cheap , im easy going

It's a good ghost story.

[Kat]

So is it a no to the one I chose?

Yours is fairly long and expensive, Kat. Simone St. James is a good writer so I’m up for that one.

I think i presumed you knew what kinds of books your teammates liked and as jessica didnt say and other not showed up that perhaps they didnt fancy it ....sorry

No we don’t really chat tbh

Ok fair enough

I can get this at my library, so I can do this one too.

I'm like you, not my jam but I will take one to help the team out. Just as long as it's not like War and Peace super long. And who knows, I may actually like it.

[Jessica]

Libby has it available for me so I can do it.

[Janeylou]

If it was War & Peace, i would definitely be running the opposite way

I'm a sports romance, psychological thriller, true crime and sports history type of reader. I will read other books if they look good, but my jam is what I listed above.

Amanda , & Kat , are you happy reading this ...we could leave till the 2nd half of the month giving time for the rest of NN to join

I don’t have it available from my library, or Libby so I won’t join in

[Janeylou]

Is Libby not a national thing ??

[Kirsten]

Can we do a quick vote on books you’d be willing to read? You can rank if you like. These are the ones that have had some interest at different points. The list is in my rank order.

[Janeylou]

Not Dissolution..too long
Not Fast Girls ..too long / sounds awful

any of the others

[Jessica]

Janeylou wrote: "Is Libby not a national thing ??"

I think the book selection is library dependent. I have 2 cards and a lot of times, a book will only be available on one card. And I've seen where neither of my cards has a book, but my friend can get it on hers.

[Jessica]

My choices (in order):

The Broken Girls
Pretty Dead Things

Fast Girls (but I understand it's long, especially if not an interest area).
Dissolution has a super long wait on my Libby and it's long (I feel I would struggle with it doesn't look interesting to me).
I don't have access to Death in the Spires or the List of Suspicious things.

[Janeylou]

Kat....can you get hold of Pretty Dead Things ????🤞🤞🤞

[Amanda]

Broken Girls or Pretty Dead things are both fine with me.

[Kat]

The only one I can get is the list of suspicious things as I already have it, so yous are better just to read something else. Libby is a National thing but most of her books say notify me if becomes available I have book of cold cases unsure if that’s hf

[Janeylou]

Kat wrote: "Janeylou wrote: "Kat....can you get hold of Pretty Dead Things ????🤞🤞🤞"

This one?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pretty-Dead-......"

Yes ..this one , can you get that

[Kat]

It’s cheap on kindle but don’t like sound of it. Don’t worry read whatever yous want. If I don’t like the sound of something it just ends up being a dnf.

[Kat]

This is another on my tbr https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

[Jackie]

My choices:

Broken Girls
Pretty Dead Things

[Amanda]

We just do not have time unfortunately, so I'm going to check in broken girls. It looks like it has the most top votes

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Group Buddy Read, please conduct your buddy read in this thread!

Chosen Book: The Broken Girls by Simone St. James

[Jessica]

Sounds good. I will grab it from my libby this weekend or early next week (I don't want to get it too soon and not have time to read it).

[Upton]

Hi all, I am in for a group read, but it doesn't look like https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... is available in my area until December. But if everyone else agrees - go for it! :)

[Upton]

I found the book and picked it up :) So I am in for the buddy read.

[Janeylou]

Great news Christine 😁

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

I'm picking up my copy on Monday or Tuesday.

[Kirsten]

I’ve got mine and can start whenever.

[Jackie]

Same for me.

[Jessica]

I got mine and started it this morning

[Kirsten]

Great--I'm in the middle of a book right now and then I could start. But I read on the fast side. How is everyone else for schedule?

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

I could probably start tomorrow or Thursday. This might be a slower read for me though, so don't wait on my account.

[Jackie]

I probably won’t get to it until Friday or Saturday.

[Janeylou]

I need to finish one for vampires then hopefully start tonight

[Janeylou]

Im a bit confused about this

[Kirsten]

I'm going to finish my last vampire book, too, but then I'll start this one--probably by Friday.
