MicrobeMom

Lessons in Chemistry: A Novel

CBee @MicrobeMom I vote for Lessons in Chemistry, an EXCELLENT read 🙌🏻🙌🏻 2y

AmyG Definitely Lessons in Chemistry. Fun book! 2y

Birdsong28 Yes definitely Lessons in Chemistry 2y

CSeydel Your club isn‘t coming up when I search! 2y

CSeydel Also I vote for Good Girl‘s Guide to Murder 2y

Birdsong28 @MicrobeMom Just followed you on Fable but couldn't see the ProfStacey'sTBR club?? 2y

CSeydel @Birdsong28 I think I found it! It‘s under “Stacey the Scientist” rather than ProfStacey? 2y

Birdsong28 @CSeydel Thanks for advising and thanks for following me☺️ Have joined @MicrobeMom the book club I have read The Giver of Stars and Lessons in Chemistry so when you get to them I will join in the chat (currently doing a reread of Lessons so that is fresher in my mind) 2y

MicrobeMom @cseydel and @Birdsong28 thank you! I am sorry for the confusion. I have just renamed the fable bookclub Prof. Stacey‘s TBR. Sorry and thanks! 2y

Help me welcome my real life book friend (from afar 😂) We have never actually met, but we “met” a few years ago when we were pregnant at the same time and bonded over our love for books. I love being in book club with her and sharing great reads ❤️ So so happy you are here @Thatgirlmarla16 !

#lmpbc

BookishBelle, sweetpealsd, gencmichael

BookishBelle I am most interested in A and C. I will get a list up soon. Probably tomorrow. Yay #GroupE!! 2y

sweetpealsd These are all great! I think b & d are the ones I‘m most interested in but they‘re all good. 2y

gencmichael Tough call 👀 i vote C! Ive read B before, but you really can‘t go wrong with Stephen king 2y

ConfessionofaBookaholic Alright sounds like C is the one! I‘ll hit up the bookstore and get started! 2y

September BOTM picks are live!!

What is everyone thinking?!

GondorGirl I do love a good fake dating story... so, that'll probably be my pick. 3y

bookish_wookish It was giving me Hallmark movie vibes and i love Hallmark movies! @GondorGirl 3y

BookwormAHN I picked Rock, Paper, Scissors but mainly I wanted matching Alice Hoffman books and with any luck next month I can. I wish you could just pick any books and there wasn't a three book limit. 3y

bookish_wookish Agreed! @BookwormAHN I skipped because the two books i wanted were add ons and it doesnt let you get them without the monthly pick! 😒 3y

Did anyone else belong to this ridiculous book club in the ‘80s??? I saw these in a bookshop today and it all came rushing back to me. One of these little books a month. They were terrible, but I loved them! 😂 Alas, Dream Boy isn‘t in Litsy. 🤣

I‘m in charge of selecting my Book Club‘s next book and I need some suggestions! I‘m pretty down at the moment, so I don‘t want to read anything sad or upsetting. It doesn‘t have to be happy, just neutral.
We‘re an international group based in the UK. We read NF and Fiction. Must be less than 350 pages. Any ideas?!?!

Megabooks I think this would make for good discussion. It has a feminist bent and leans a bit towards funny while making a point. Many Littens have read it as far as reviews

Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language

Megabooks Also, many littens have done this for their book clubs. Any book by this author would lean more lighthearted.

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill

Chrissyreadit I have an odd suggestion- I bought a copy for my best friend who suffers from severe bouts of depression- and this may seem counter intuitive because it begins with a suicide attempt but Matt Haig‘s

The Midnight Library

See All 11 Comments

Chrissyreadit It was such a good book about infinite potentials and possibilities and I do not want to give anything away but it was ultimately so uplifting and satisfying about living life. 4y

Erinreadsthebooks

The House in the Cerulean Sea

rockpools I second @Erinreadsthebooks (not that I‘ve read it, but The Extraordinaries was just so cute!!) Otherwise, did you get to Piranesi in the end, Emily? Or non-fiction, how about something like

Vesper Flights

eraderneely Excellent suggestions @Megabooks I loved Wordslut and would happily reread it. It would be a great fit for our group. 4y

eraderneely @Chrissyreadit interesting suggestion. I‘ll take a look! 4y

eraderneely @Erinreadsthebooks this was the last book I suggested for our group and it was universally beloved. I just wish I could read it again for the first time! 4y

eraderneely @rockpools I loved Piranesi! Vesper Flights sounds like it would be a really good book to discuss with a group. 4y

eraderneely Thanks all for your suggestions! This had really helped me build up my list! 4y

Fans of The Babysitters Club will enjoy this series by Ann M Martin about another group of girls. I dove in in the middle of the series to read about their secret book club. Lots of fun and lessons learned as the girls enjoy well known children‘s books together throughout the summer.

Next up in audio: Mr Lemoncello and the Titanium Ticket. #StackingtheSeries

SaturnDoo I just recently read the first 5 books of this series and really enjoyed them 💜❤💜 4y

Just finished my #1001BookSwap ~ soooooo good🙌🏻 5 super bright shiny stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Since we‘ve agreed to keep our choices “secret” I can‘t say much other than the writing is exquisite , the research & attention to detail is extraordinary, the story is full of original voices, it‘s a page turner that stuns throughout❣️‼️❣️There is so much to discuss xx Loved it ( I‘m tagging the book in comments under the spoiler)

TrishB @jhod @Cinfhen I‘ve just brought this one. Bad morning, retail therapy needed! I‘ve read The Crow Road so far and have Castle Rackrent ready to read! 7y

Cinfhen Sorry you‘re having a crap day @TrishB I‘m not familiar with any of the books u or @jhod mentioned... will look into them...hope the book brightens your day😍 7y

I'm thoroughly enjoying @drokka 's pick for #LMPBC (and those bookmarks! So awesome.) And beside me is Otis, toying with the idea of becoming a lap cat (dipping his toe in the water, as it were). Just do it dude! Enjoy the snuggles!

#catsoflitsy #weirdocatsoflitsy

BookNAround My cat refuses to be a lap cat too. He climbed into my lap when he was courting us to try and come in the house and join the family but now that he‘s one of us, he‘s not interested. Brat cat! 7y

DebbieGrillo I loved this one too! 7y

merelybookish My cat does this sometimes. He likes to perch on the back of the chair or couch where I'm sitting and then rest a paw on my shoulder. But he's not opposed to lap sitting too. 7y

TheKidUpstairs @BookNAround I think that is the most cat-like thing I've heard all day! They only want your love and attention until they have it! 7y

TheKidUpstairs @merelybookish that is pretty adorable 😻 7y

Yesterday I finished a book for Postal Book Swap F from the Books on the Nightstand GoodReads group but the rules are strict, no sharing on social media. So hi! Wow, good book. Hahaa. Anyone else in a secret secret book club? We share at the end of the year once everyone has read all books, then start again. We all agreed to do it another year! But I have to admit it feels strange to read a book without sharing it with you.

Lindy Are you allowed to list it among your books on Goodreads? 7y

ReadingEnvy @Lindy we only do so after we complete a rotation, so I will at least be able to before the end of the year. I take pictures of what I write in the rotating notebooks that accompany the books so I can write reviews months later. 7y

Lindy @ReadingEnvy Darn! So I can‘t make a guess based on your goodreads activity. 7y

ReadingEnvy @Lindy haha nope! Plus the group functions in Goodreads so that would spoil everything! 7y
