Thirty-year-old Theresa Pellikaan is typical of the wealthy middle classes - with her respectable background, successful husband and house in an apparently sleepy, yet powerful, rich village. She works in a gallery, also typical of her type. When her former schoolmate Ruth Ackermann, brought up in the same village, makes waves with an international bestseller, but none of the villagers ever mention her achievement, not even the literary circle of Theresa's father, famous civil rights scholar Randolf Pellikaan, Theresa begins to wonder why. It can't only be because it's not 'literature'. It emerges that there is a dark secret in the village. Every member of the book club has a reason to keep quiet and Ruth Ackerman's novel threatens to bring the past into the present, with devastating results.

Hey All! I know I‘m late but as you‘ll see from three book titles....just get on with it is something I‘m getting better at :D @Erinreadsthebooks @TheSpineView @Kappadeemom here are my selection for #PostalMarkUpClub let me know which one shall I start reading in November?

TheSpineView I've not read any of those. Nonfiction is not a genre I read with the exception of science. So I'll let you guys choose. 4y
Erinreadsthebooks I‘m good with whatever you choose, @MyBookSwapClub 👍 4y
Kappadeemom I‘m good with any of them 4y
RinaBrahmbhattBarot I‘ve started Marissa Mayer book :) 4y

I am so ready for the next round of #LMPBC (#GroupU)! Are there any genres you prefer? Or maybe more importantly, any genres you dislike? Can‘t wait to see what you all have picked out!

Lovesbooks87 I read a little bit of everything. I haven‘t picked any books yet because I was waiting to make sure that you were the 4th person in our group. Erika, Anna, and I have done a couple rounds together and are excited to do this round! I am not a huge fan of sci-fi or horror. (edited) 5y

I was going through my bookshelves and I found these, Stalking Jack the Ripper, This Heart of Mine and Between Shades of Grey. I read Heart of Mine and swear I sent it out! I'm going to speed read thru the other two and get them sent out as well. I believe they are @Chasing_Pages @aroc and @Captivatedbybooks 's books. Sorry guys for the holdup!

#thebreakfastbookclub #groupB

InBooksILive @JenlovesJT47 and I just recieved Uprooted in the mail the other day! Which is @Updrifting 's book, correct? 5y

InBooksILive @JenlovesJT47 yeah I'm taking a guess lol it kind of looks like updrifting but yeah I'm not 100% sure.. 5y
tjwill I was wondering about this group a few days ago. Thanks for the update! How many other books are still circulating? I haven‘t got one in a long time. 5y
InBooksILive @tjwill yeah hopefully this post will help see what books are still around and who's is missing! And who is still participating lol this has been one long book swap! 5y
InBooksILive @tjwill which book was yours? 5y
JenlovesJT47 My book and @Nitpickyabouttrains are “lost”. So I‘m not sure how many books there are total. 5y
InBooksILive @tjwill oh okay! I did read that one and send it off to the next. But that was quite awhile ago. 5y
InBooksILive @JenlovesJT47 aw dang that sucks ? my book has probably joined the "lost" I think 5y
tjwill @InBooksILive Mine must be a lost book too. 😕 I read all three of those in your picture. (edited) 5y
Captivatedbybooks @InBooksILive i have it!!!!! I didnt know who‘s it was! Can you email me your addy i dunno what i did with the original list. My email is Jennyr0528@gmail.com Mines is the Stalk the Ripper one 5y
InBooksILive @Captivatedbybooks oh wow! I really did not think it was still around! Just emailed you! 5y
InBooksILive @aroc @Chasing_Pages send me an email with your guys' addresses and I'll send your books to you! Inbooksilive@yahoo.com 5y
aroc @InBooksILive Thank you! 5y

Chasing_Pages I‘m so sorry everyone. I‘ve been on a book hiatus for some time now and just doing audio since I had my daughter. I‘ll tag the owners of the books I have in the morning. I really wish I would have kept up with all of this better. 🙁 @InBooksILive I‘ll send you my address then too. @JenlovesJT47 @OriginalCyn620 @tjwill @Nitpickyabouttrains @Captivatedbybooks @aroc 5y

It took me a long time to do this, but I‘ve come up with a year 😁 I thought about my #reallifebookgroup and what books might be a albeit of a stretch for them (out of their comfort zones) and good discussion books.. plus just some likely good reads. 😁 Oh and I‘ve put them in order too... some obviously placed reads, I think... 🤔

Fun project! Thanks @Chrissyreadit for making me think! 😜😘

And fun idea @monalyisha ! #myidealbookclub

mrp27 That's awesome!! The book clubs I've joined over the years all fall apart after a couple of years. The longest one lasted just 3 years. What do you think keeps your book club together? What's the secret to longevity? 5y
thebluestocking @lele1432 @Suet624 Thank you!! 💙💙 5y
thebluestocking @Ruthiella There are so many books, I had to go back and look! Our most controversial book was The Actor and the Housewife (great discussion). Some of my favorite books we‘ve read include The Thief, Summerlost, and The Count of Monte Cristo. 💙 5y
thebluestocking @mrp27 I‘ve had book clubs come and go too. I‘m not positive what makes this one last. I think it‘s probably the leader. It is always at her house, she always does the treats, she brings in new friends regularly, and she makes sure we read a wide variety of books. I think book club magic is hard to find, and even within this one it ebbs and flows. 💙 5y

I periodically put up a poll asking members of the #2030SomethingBookClub to choose which books should be the next 5 upcoming meetings‘ selections. They‘re all from members‘ suggestions that they email me. What an incredibly fantastic group of books to choose from!

Have you read any of these?
Which ones would you vote for? (You can vote for as many as you‘d like.)

Lillie Only one I've read is Recursion and it's a ride. Enjoyed it immensely. Several of the others are my tbr list. 5y
mydearwatson I‘d probably vote for _The Remains of the Day_ because it‘s the only one I‘ve heard of 🤦🏻‍♀️. 5y
RaimeyGallant 1 is so fabulous, and it will get the group talking about perception. 5y

alysonimagines I love The Remains of the Day! Recently I gave a copy to a bookish friend—it‘s a title I have recommended to him more than once. Then he gave me a copy of The Master and Margarita, a title he has recommended to me more than once. So it‘s interesting that both titles show up in this list! 5y
Jess Educated will give you the best book discussion but all my votes go to The Great Believers. Loved that book. 5y

Hello #GroupW! @lele1432 @CSeydel @arubabookwoman These are some of my picks, though I'm leaning towards Malaysia because it's my hometown and the book is going to be made into a movie! 😁💃🏽 But please do let me know your thoughts! I have other books too if none of these interest you. (Will tag the books in the comments)
Clockwise:
The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock
The Tattooist of Auschwitz
The Sympathizer
The Garden of Evening Mists

arubabookwoman I would love to read any of those, but my first choice would be #TheGardenofEveningMists. I read his other book and it wss great. 6y
KT1432 @Jee_HookedOnBookz I looovveee this theme of yours!! I almost put in the sign up comments I love being transported through literature! The book set in Malaysia sounds amazing, all my GR friends love it, and somehow I hadn't heard of it. ☹️ My 2nd preference would be Germany. But I'm good with any of these! 6y
Jee_HookedOnBookz @arubabookwoman that's so great! Thank you! I've also read his first book and loved it! 6y
Jee_HookedOnBookz @lele1432 do you mind if I call you by your name Kaleah? And @arubabookwoman do you mind if I call you by your name Deborah? 6y
Jee_HookedOnBookz @lele1432 thank you thank you! OK looks Malaysia is the choice right now. Will wait for @CSeydel (do you mind if I call you Carrie?) 6y
arubabookwoman Yes please call me Deborah. Is your name Jee? Where in Malaysia are you from? My parents lived in Singapore while I was in college and I visited several times and traveled a bit in Malaysia. This was in the early 70's tho', so it was many years ago. (edited) 6y
CSeydel The Malaysia book looks 👌🏼 and yes please, call me Carrie 😊 6y
Jee_HookedOnBookz @arubabookwoman oh wow! I love Singapore!! I lived in the Petaling Jaya area before we moved to the US. You must visit Malaysia again when you get the chance, Deborah! ☺️ My name is Jee Wan but many just call me Jee :) 6y

Jee_HookedOnBookz @CSeydel @arubabookwoman was wondering if your reads have been chosen for our #lmpbc yet? Not sure if I missed the post... :) Thank you! @lele1432 Is Baobab Tree the final choice? I'm excited! :) 6y
KT1432 @Jee_HookedOnBookz @arubabookwoman yes as long as @CSeydel doesn't have any issues with Baobab Tree, that is what my final choice is! 🤗 6y
CSeydel Sorry I haven‘t selected yet. What about: 6y
CSeydel @lele1432 @Jee_HookedOnBookz @arubabookwoman Have we exchanged addresses yet? Who‘s mailing to whom? 6y

CSeydel @Jee_HookedOnBookz @lele1432 @arubabookwoman Ack, sorry again, I found Suellen‘s email with the addresses. My email is carrieseydel at yahoo dot com 6y
arubabookwoman @lele1432 @Jee_HookedOnBookz @CSeydel I was thinking of The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood, but since it‘s rather old some or all of you may have read it. Other possibilities are The Northern Clemency by Philip Hensher and the brand new (I have an advance copy) Red Birds by Mohammed Hanif. What are your thoughts? 6y
KT1432 @arubabookwoman @Jee_HookedOnBookz @CSeydel I'd love to read The Blind Assassin! I haven't read it yet. 6y
Jee_HookedOnBookz @lele1432 @arubabookwoman @CSeydel I think Blind Assassin has more than 400 pages 😅I'd love to read it too if not because of time constraints... I'm leaning towards Red Birds 😁 6y
KT1432 @Jee_HookedOnBookz @arubabookwoman @CSeydel that's a good point! I was just talking about my reading time constraints lol. Red Birds sounds interesting too! 6y
CSeydel @arubabookwoman @lele1432 @Jee_HookedOnBookz Any of those sound fine to me. Thanks! 6y
Jee_HookedOnBookz Can I confirm the tagged books below are the chosen ones for our #lmpbc reads? 6y
Jee_HookedOnBookz Did I get it all correct? 6y
Jee_HookedOnBookz And on Mar 31 I'll be mailing my book to @lele1432, Kaleah to @CSeydel, Carrie to @arubabookwoman, Deborah to me? Pls correct me if I'm wrong. Newbie here 😅 Question: can I send my book earlier once I'm done with it? 6y
arubabookwoman Red Birds it is. I think we have some great reading ahead of us. I believe @CSeydel will be mailing to me and just a heads up, I will be moving before the end of the month. I will email my new address as soon as I have it. @lele1432 @Jee_HookedOnBookz As I read the chart, I mail to Jee. (edited) 6y
Jee_HookedOnBookz @arubabookwoman looking forward to reading all these great books! Wishing you all the best in your move, Deborah! ❤️ 6y
KT1432 @Jee_HookedOnBookz @arubabookwoman @CSeydel I think you have it all! And Jee I‘m planning on mailing mine sooner as well. It‘s a pretty short read I believe and I want to try avoid any snail mail disruptions 😊 I'm so excited! This week has been chaotic at work so I'm planning on relaxing this evening with my pick! 6y
CSeydel @arubabookwoman Good luck with the move! I will not mail anything until I‘ve heard from you. @Jee_HookedOnBookz @lele1432 Sounds like we‘re all set! 6y
Jee_HookedOnBookz @CSeydel @arubabookwoman @lele1432 yayyyy! Let's go Group W!! 🎉💃🏽💃🏽 6y

shellleigh33 I have read The Great Alone already but will be willing to read again. The other two are on my wish list. So i am good with whatever you choose. 6y
Skeebies05 I have read beartown but I‘m down to read it again! Good choices. I‘ll go with the color green 💚💚 6y

Please excuse my level of excitement. I tend to go all-in. 😅

Idea 1: #LMPBCnC

Each book sent with chocolate accompaniment? 🤤

MirrorMask Yes please!!! Or fudge 6y
monalyisha @MirrorMask “Fudge” definitely falls within chocolate‘s parameters. 😉 6y
See All 9 Comments
Elma I love this idea! I'm limited to sugar free chocolate for the foreseeable future though. 6y
monalyisha @Elma We can revisit maybe, when @suvata sets up our schedule? I‘d be totally fine with finding sugar-free chocolate to send! Or maybe there‘s a different snack you‘d prefer? 6y
Elma @monalyisha I'm currently doing Keto, so my snacks are pretty limited. I'm good with sugar free chocolate, as long as people can find it. Our local Kroger sells it with their organic chocolate, but I'm not sure about other places. 6y
MirrorMask @Elma How do you feel about coconut in your chocolate? 6y
Elma @MirrorMask I'm not a huge fan of coconut flakes (although I like coconut flavor) or nuts. I love caramel and peanut butter in my chocolate though. 6y
MirrorMask @Elma Thanks! That's good to know. 6y

QOTD: If I we‘re to create a bookclub would you join me?

I‘ve been toying with this idea for MONTHS. I‘d spread it across my blog and Litsy so everyone can get involved and have a discussion on each platform. We‘d read various genres and each month we‘d vote on what we‘re going to read from a shortlist. There would be occasional giveaways too. I hope to start from August. So, what do you think? #bookaddict #booklover #bookclub

Hey @erinreads I'm going to be a little late getting your #lpmbc book back to you! I was traveling and didn't want to risk something happening to it while I was out and about. I'll get it back to you soon! 💜 #TeamYA

erinreads Totally fine! I‘m still reading @kamoorephoto‘s book, so I‘ll be delayed in getting her book back as well. 6y

@jhod @Christine11
I must apologise that I'm only just getting around to posting your books for #whodunituk and #lmpbc.
I put them back on my shelf and promptly forgot about them 😫😫
They're in the post today so expect them in a couple of days

jhod Are you reading the Ruth Ware on pigeonhole? I've also signed up for the Paula Daly, the French Girl and the Lisa Jewell. Such a good app! 6y
ShookBelf @jhod I certainly am and I'm really enjoying it. I've only signed up to The Anomaly and The Possible World at the moment. July is going to be a slow read month for me as I need to read The Stand for #losersclub2018 - a chunkster if ever there was one. 6y
TrishB I‘ve just posted your next #whodunnituk today - good timing 😁 The Stand is awesome 👍🏻 6y

jhod My in real life book club book this month is The Outsider. Having never read a Stephen King (and unsure I will like horror) what do you think as a starting point? Should i...? Thanks King fans! @ShookBelf @TrishB 6y
ShookBelf @TrishB I first read The Stand 20 years ago and remember it being awesome so I'm really looking forward to the reread. 6y
ShookBelf @jhod I haven't read The Outsider yet - it is sitting patiently on my TBR pile - but from what other people have said it's a fantastic book. I really like Stephen King but I don't necessarily think his books are horror - more chiller/suspense/supernatural. 6y
jhod Thank you very helpful! 6y
TrishB @jhod The Outsider has some horror/supernatural but I didn‘t think it was too scary (but hard to judge as I don‘t really get scared and have read King forever!!) 6y
Christine11 That‘s great @ShookBelf - thank you and I‘ll keep an eye out ! And @jhod , I just finished The Outsider last night. I‘ve never read any King before but I really loved it and I‘m not a horror fan because I‘m a bit of a scaredy-cat. It definitely had some scary elements but more of a thriller I‘d say ! 😊 6y
jhod @TrishB @christine11 great thanks both!! 6y

What better cure for the ‘Mondays‘ than to receive surprise goodies in the mail!!! Thank you so much for the bag, book and journal @BookaholicNatty 🤗😊 I cant wait to get started on your pick for our #LMPBC #GroupI

BookaholicNatty Yay!!!!! It came!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I saw the Jane Austen book club on your tbr list and had an extra copy of it and thought you would like it! 😊 7y
DanaManiac @BookaholicNatty That‘s so funny! I checked it out as an e-book a few weeks ago and didn‘t read it because I knew I‘d rather have this as a physical book. 😂 Side note- did you want us to write our notes in the journal instead of in the book? 7y

What is Litsy mark up postal book club? I keep seeing it mentioned

mklong @suvata came up with this fun idea and organized groups of four where everyone chooses a book and makes notes while reading, every month you pass the book you have to the next person on the list, and so on, until you get your original book back. Follow her if you want more details about when sign ups are open. 7y
suvata @mklong Thank you for answering her. I appreciate it when everyone pitches in. Litsy people are the best. 7y
Magpiegem Thank you @mklong that‘s really helpful. What a good idea! I will definitely follow so I can hopefully take part in the next round :-) 7y
