Tell the Wolves I'm Home: A Novel | Carol Rifka Brunt

I‘m excited to hash this one out over snacks this weekend! I forgot how much I enjoyed this book, and the voice of the main character. I listened on audio years ago and now can enjoy reading the words. @Cinfhen thanks for keeping these parties going!🥳 #MaYbeNow

Cinfhen Thanks for the shoutout ♥️♥️♥️looking forward to a lively weekend with you @BarbaraBB and the rest of the #WolfPack 🐺🐺🐺 5y

Wolf Hall | Hilary Mantel

Dear #WolfPack;
After many attempts, I‘m sorry to say my brain-space just isn‘t ready to do battle with Wolf Hall. It looks like I won‘t be #ConqueringCromwell with the rest of you. I‘m sorry for bailing on this awesome group.
Would anybody like to lead the charge?? Or do you prefer to continue posting and sharing without any formal discussion or set schedule??
I hope to revisit one day unlike @MicheleinPhilly who donated her copy away 🤭

Cinfhen I guess you were right @TrishB @Reviewsbylola that pesky Cromwell beat me before I even began 😜 5y

thebluestocking I totally understand. I‘m leaving town for a week and have not yet started it. I‘ll check in when I get back and see if I‘m still game. 5y

Cinfhen Thanks for having my back @thebluestocking I thought I‘d be able to read this book with so many wonderful friends reading alongside me, but every time I went to open the book my mind just shut off 😣 5y

TrishB It‘s not always fun being right!! But absolutely don‘t read books you‘re not enjoying 😘 5y

Cinfhen I can‘t say I didn‘t enjoy because I never got passed the character list @TrishB 🤭😩🙄 (edited) 5y

rockpools Sometimes it‘s just the wrong time to force through. Thanks for actually getting me started though! 5y

TrishB One day you may feel like it then 🤷‍♀️😁 5y

Cathythoughts I I totally understand 👍🏻❤️I hope to read this through one day ... but not just now 5y

squirrelbrain Far better to be honest than battle through when it‘s not the right time.... I started it before I left for my holiday and found it OK at first. I then started to struggle but I shall see what happens when I get home.... 5y

jenniferw88 To be honest, I was surprised when I saw that you were going to try to read it! 😂😂😂 5y

Cinfhen You weren‘t the only one @jenniferw88 😜I hope it picks up again for you @squirrelbrain 🤞🏼I‘m glad it spurred you to read it @RachelO Maybe it‘s just not meant to be for us @Cathythoughts ??!?!??! 5y

MicheleinPhilly I didn‘t bring it to book club. I may try to give it a go sometime when I‘m in a better head space. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y

Amandajoy Hmm... this certainly means less pressure. We‘ll see if I stick with it right now. 5y

Cinfhen Sorry for the false report @MicheleinPhilly maybe one day we‘ll all try again @Amandajoy @Cathythoughts 5y

Cathythoughts I think I‘ll need to be really in the mood ... and I think the mood will come one day 🤞🏻😁 5y

rubyslippersreads I must be the only one who‘s enjoying it, probably because I love anything to do with Anne Boleyn. I don‘t want to lead the discussion, but will be happy to discuss with any other “survivors.” 😂 5y

Cuilin I‘m on the fence about this. I‘ve read it before and enjoyed it, so I could keep going. But I‘m suffering the “been there, done that” with a reread. Will I be a survivor or bail? 🤷‍♀️ 5y

Reviewsbylola I‘m glad you bailed. There‘s really no sense in punishing yourself over a book you‘re not connecting with. 5y

Bklover I‘m still carrying the book around looking at it. It irritates me to no end. Haven‘t given up yet. About 50 pages in. Will cave soon. This is about as far as I ever get. 5y

Leftcoastzen @rubyslippersreads @cinfhen I can‘t commit to being a coordinator, and I hit pause not because I‘m not enjoying it ,but because I have 2 I need to finish by tomorrow.🙄😳 5y

janeycanuck I haven‘t started yet but same boat as @rubyslippersreads - happy to still participate but not in a place to coordinate. I‘m glad you bailed, though - life is too short to read books you aren‘t enjoying. 5y

Cinfhen Hmmmm, what‘s with this book that causes anxiety for som many???? I‘m glad you‘re all enjoying @rubyslippersreads @Leftcoastzen @janeycanuck @Cuilin and I feel your trepidation @Bklover Keep me posted on your progress or lack of 😝 5y

Cinfhen I‘m pretty sure it was you, @Reviewsbylola who was the “devil” whispering in my ear to bail xx So GLAD I listened 😘 5y

Bklover Will do! (It‘s not looking good) 😳 5y

Cinfhen How are you feeling @Bklover ??? Back on your feet??? 5y

Bklover Yes! Doing pretty well. Not doing any walking for exercise yet but I can walk without limping now (most of the time). And it‘s heavenly wearing my own shoes. Thanks for asking! 5y

Suet624 May sounds so far away but I know it‘s going to be here in just a blink of an eye. Now excuse me while I shovel the 3 feet of snow out of my driveway. 5y

squirrelbrain An excuse to go book shopping! Yay! 5y

AnneCecilie I‘m in, and will get my hands on this to read it on time. May 17 in Norway‘s national day, but due to different time zones the discussion is probably going to be after everything. 5y

BookwormAHN

Tell the Wolves I'm Home: A Novel

DebinHawaii I am going with Leah Bergen on this one since THIF has been on my #TBR for ages & I own it but I‘m fine with any of them. (Tell the Wolves I‘m Home seems to be the popular choice & although it would be a reread for me, I listened to it on audio so reading it would be different.) 👍

The Heart's Invisible Furies

(edited) 5y

Crazeedi @Cinfhen tell the wolves is fine, I've read 2 of the others, so whatever is voted on I'll go with! 5y

peaKnit I loved the Hearts Invisible Furies, I would glad reread that as well as Wolves. 5y

readordierachel Excellent choices! Another vote for

The Heart's Invisible Furies

Cinfhen It‘s gonna be close @readordierachel @peaknit @Crazeedi @DebinHawaii @BookwormAHN @KarenUK @LeahBergen I think they are all solid choices and will facilitate good discussion 5y

JaclynW I've already read Underground Railroad and The Heart's Invisible Furies (and love them both), so I will pick Tell the Wolves I'm Home since it was on my TBR and the other 2 remaining weren't. 🙂 5y

Cinfhen Yay!!! #WolfPack @JaclynW 🖤🐺‼️ 5y

Balibee146 Voting for The Hearts Invisible Furies ❤️❤️ 5y

squirrelbrain Sorry about the delayed response.... my vote goes to this one as I‘ve read the others....

Tell the Wolves I'm Home: A Novel

thereadingowlvina Sorry for the late response! My vote goes to

Tell the Wolves I'm Home: A Novel

Cinfhen Woohoo @squirrelbrain @thereadingowlvina I think your votes just put Wolves as the clear winner!!!!! Yay 😜 5y

thereadingowlvina @Cinfhen Oh really? Yay!!! 😊 5y

A Devil in Scotland: A No Ordinary Hero Novel | Suzanne Enoch

pick

Happy Release Day!! This was a quick little read with a murder plot, revenge, lots of secrets and an adorable "wolf pack"! Yes...there's a wolf ? A little more politics and a little less action than I usually prefer in my Highland reads, but I'll give it to the author...she made it work. A good read for a cozy night.
