Books update 🤓

Still finishing Sept‘s #cbbc, but up next is the tagged (a 2nd‘ary choice for #reallifebookclub) then the Cleo Coyle, my Sept #SeasonalCozies selection. I‘ve been meaning to check out their other work for a long time & I‘m finally doing it!

I also happen to be listening to their 20th (!) in the Coffeehouse Mystery series - definitely one of the better ones! ☕️🩸

Also rec‘d my #fffs package! Thank you @PatriciaU -I‘m so excited!!

Chrissyreadit, julieclair

Avanders @Chrissyreadit @PatriciaU @julieclair they are fun! They‘re set in Manhattan, in a break from the usual cozy model, but they‘re still in a coffee shop, don‘t worry 😁 The early ones are a little dated, but they catch up pretty quickly. ☺️ 2mo

BethM Ohhh I haven‘t read the Cleo series in a long time. 2mo

Avanders @BethM for me, it kinda sagged a smidge, but I always enjoy going back to the Village Blend and the recent books seem to be picking back up ☺️ 2mo

The Trees: A Novel | Percival Everett

book updates:
Read 🍯 Roasted on audio ⭐️⭐️⭐️ A fine continuation, but I guess I think the “romance” drags & resolves in a weird way.

Evil🤰🏽was a fun, quick surprise (audio).
🌟🌟🌟🌟

And my # came up for the Paris Apt. Great so far!

And thx to a generous surprise from @mklong , I got Jade City (per @GrilledCheeseSamurai Rec) & Trees, 1 of 5 I‘m recommending to my #reallifebookclub for May (it‘s my turn :))(others tagged in comments, fyi :)).

Book Club: An Unshelved Collection | Bill Barnes

Would you join my book club?
@monalyisha it was very difficult to choose- especially as I choose books based on mood- but these are all books I think would be better with discussion. Thanks for sharing this great idea!
@megnews here‘s my list! I‘m tagging others to share their #myidealbookclub but everyone should feel free!

janeycanuck, Bookzombie, wanderinglynn, mabell, Blaire, Crazeedi, LeahBergen, Gissy, BethM, cobwebmoth, jenniferw88, Avanders, Mitch, MicrobeMom, Meaw_catlady, audraelizabeth

TheBookAddict 🙋🏽‍♀️ in theory, yes because you have quite a few books I‘d like to read. Sadly I‘m terrible at book clubs, since I can‘t even plan my reading. I just pick up whatever catches my eye at the moment. 🤷🏽‍♀️😅 5y

Chrissyreadit @TheBookAddict I‘m the same way! But it was fun planning a hypothetical book club. And these are all on my TBR. 5y

Come-read-with-me @Chrissyreadit I would join you in a heartbeat. You have a great list of books!! I‘be added some to my TBR list 👍🏻 5y

wanderinglynn Great list! 👍🏻 I‘d join your group as several of those are on my TBR too! 5y

megnews @Chrissyreadit great choices! This year I read and loved

All the Light We Cannot See: A Novel

Librarybelle I love your book club! I‘ve read close to half of these and enjoyed them. Plus, I still have books from your #NewYearWhoDis list that I need to read, so I haven‘t forgotten about that! 🙂 5y

Chrissyreadit @Librarybelle I am still tracking your list too! I think we have very similar taste. 5y

Chrissyreadit @Come-read-with-me thanks! Did you make a list? I‘d love to see what your choices are! 5y

Chrissyreadit @Librarybelle @wanderinglynn I would love too see what your lists would be! 5y

Librarybelle Okay! I‘ll think about it today and post later tonight! 🙂 5y

Chrissyreadit @megnews I‘m hoping over Christmas break to read books that I think take more time or emotion. But I keep hearing how amazing it was! 5y

Chrissyreadit @Librarybelle yay! 😘 5y

Chrissyreadit @hermyknee I wonder what your list would look like? 5y

wanderinglynn I‘ll have to think about it. I‘m a mood reader, so it‘s tough to pick! 5y

Chrissyreadit @LibrarianRyan what would you‘re hypothetical book club list look like? 5y

LibrarianRyan @Chrissyreadit I'm working on it. @Trashcanman hit me Friday, but I had the nephews all weekend. 2 hyperactive boys. And it RAINED!! it rained out all the Halloween events we had planned. So they got 2 trips to BN and a very tired aunt RyRy. I'll get mine posted today sometime. 5y

Chrissyreadit @LibrarianRyan I think Halloween events and bookstore visits are a win win in either direction. 5y

Come-read-with-me @Chrissyreadit I did! I posted them late last night 😴 5y

Bookzombie I would absolutely join your book club! I have read The Dry and a number of the others are already on my TBR. I will have to think about what I would pick for my book club. It's hard not to lean towards ones I have already read and want to talk about. 😁 5y

Chrissyreadit @Bookzombie I can‘t wait to see your choices! 5y

BethM I‘d come! 5y

Crazeedi I love your choices!! 5y

Chrissyreadit @BethM I would love to see your choices! 5y

LeahBergen Great picks! 5y

Chrissyreadit @LeahBergen I hope your having a great birthday- I think birthdays should be a week long celebration! What would your ideal bookclub booklist be? 5y

Avanders Oooh great list! I will have to think about this... 😁 I have a #reallifebookclub .. but I let others have a say too 😆 5y

Chrissyreadit @Avanders I have never been part of an IRL book club- I think it was hard to find one with my taste in this area. Does yours read a variety or particular genre? 5y

LeahBergen I‘ve been so busy on this birthday! 😂 In a good way, though. I‘ve been a member of an IRL book club (with both men and women which is unusual) for 22 years now. It‘s amazing! 5y

Chrissyreadit @LeahBergen wow! That sounds like a great group. 5y

mabell The Color of Magic is on my TBR too! 😄 Along with most of the Pratchetts! I‘ve only read I believe 2 so far, but I loved both of them. For my book club, I‘m still ruminating on my 12 choices... 🤔 5y
