Sharp Objects: A Novel | Gillian Flynn

This novel has popped up twice this past week...I‘m taking it as a sign to make this my next read as I clean out the Kindle backlog. #BookishProblems 📚 #GoodProblems 📚 #MountTBR

WhatWouldJaneDo It's a good one! Super twisted but that's to be expected with Flynn. I really liked the miniseries as well. 4y

JackOBotts @WhatWouldJaneDo That‘s good to hear! I wasn‘t crazy about Gone Girl, but I will want to check out the series when I finish the book! I‘m enjoying how the story is starting out... 4y

All the books of my life: a bibliobiography | Sheila Kaye-Smith

Do you ever have that thing where you have a couple of books to finish but then a book you‘re really excited to read comes in the mail, so you start that, and you need a new audio book, so you start one but determine after listening for an hour or so that it would be better to read the print version, then you remember that your book club is in a week, so you start that book right away? Yeah, me too. 😩

BlameJennyJane All the time! 🤣 6y

Reviewsbylola Ha! I started two different books this afternoon so I can relate. 😂 6y

Susannah When I start finishing these, it‘s going to be awesome.... I just hope it‘s this month. 😆 6y

rubyslippersreads So glad your Peggy book arrived. 😊 6y

Susannah Thank you, @rubyslippersreads! If not for you and @LeahBergen I wouldn‘t know anything about Peggy Lane, and what a bummer that would be! Thank you both so much. 🎭😍 6y

LeahBergen @Susannah I‘ll be interested to hear what you think! Right, @rubyslippersreads ? 😄 6y

Lord of the Rings. J.R.R. Tolkien | J R R Tolkien

Sometimes it's dangerous to visit a book sale! Where should I start?

Leniverse Oh wow. Start with the shortest one? 😂 So many good books there, but some of them takes quite a while to read! 6y

JackOBotts I really enjoyed The Corrections. Midnight in the Garden...is one I want to revisit. Too many books, so little time. #goodproblems 6y

Gezemice eeny meeny ... 6y

Redwritinghood White Teeth is so good! 6y

The Book of the Month: Sixty Years of Books in American Life | Al Silverman

I am considering cancelling my #botm membership. Anyone regret canceling theirs or thinking about cancelling too? I have been underwhlemed lately. 🤔🤔

TheBookHippie I have been underwhelmed as well ...they seem subpar ...I used to want all five now I'm happy if I find one ....I have cancelled before but came back 6 months later 🤣hoping for better next month! (edited) 6y

nosferatoos This whole year has been pretty underwhelming. I usually manage to find at least one book so its worth keeping for that. This was the first month in a very long time that I have been excited about a lot of the choices. 6y

parttimedomestic I canceled a few months ago. It was mostly a budget thing for me, I would rather spend that money on a new book I‘m actually excited about rather than one I‘m meh on that will just sit on my shelf. No regrets so far! 6y

MinDea @parttimedomestic that is how I am feeling. I would rather buy a book I am excited about then be forced to pick one I am not sure I'll end up reading. 6y

DGRachel I‘ve been thinking about canceling for a while and this month‘s choices are very disappointing for me, so I will probably skip and then cancel as soon as there‘s another month where I can use this credit. 6y

MinDea @nosferatoos I am excited about the books this month too! But lately I just pick a book to use a credit.🤷 6y

MinDea @DGRachel that's what I did last month! I used my last credit this month and now thinking I want to cancel. 6y

MinDea @TheBookHippie that's what I am wondering...if I'll cancel and then just start another membership in a few months. 😆😆😆 6y

Karkar I canceled mine and do not miss it at all. 6y

hermyknee I canceled mine and have no regrets. 6y

Jee_HookedOnBookz I love this discussion! Guess I made the right choice by not signing up! I agree with some of you who said you'd rather spend on a book which you're excited about than having to spend on a book or books that have been 'chosen' for you.. 6y

MinDea @Karkar @hermyknee So glad to hear that you guys don't regret cancelling. Did you guys sign up for something else or just pick your own books when you want to buy one? 😆😆 6y

hermyknee I still subscribe to OwlCrate - if you don‘t subscribe yet, I‘d be so happy to share my link with you! I love it ♥️ 6y

catiewithac I used my last credits this month and plan to cancel. I‘ve been a member for 3 years but the selections have been poor quality this year in particular. I miss the judges and interesting picks. I‘ve joined Greywolf Press Galley Club and & Other Books subscriptions. These are both independent presses that release interesting books. I‘m not a thriller fan so #BOTM is no longer a good match for me. Don‘t think I‘ll miss it! 6y

MinDea @catiewithac I will have to check those out. Thank you! 6y

MinDea @hermyknee if I decide to do Owlcrate I will definitely reach out for your referral link. Thank you! 6y

hermyknee ☺️☺️☺️ 6y

MeganAnn @catiewithac I‘m going to have to check those out also! 6y

Redwritinghood I‘m thinking about canceling, but then this month was great so now I‘m having second thoughts. 6y

ErikasMindfulShelf I think I‘ll be canceling once my credits are out. I have 2 more. 6y

Karkar @MinDea I just buy them whenever or wherever now 😊 6y

MeganAnn I‘ve been a member for a few years and I used to love it because I ended up with great books I wasn‘t seeing elsewhere. I‘ve been thinking about cancelling too because lately the choices are not nearly as exciting and oftentimes I see them everywhere else too so it‘s not like I wouldn‘t be exposed to them anyway. And thrillers are not my thing so it‘s not as good of a match as it used to be. 6y

Gaylagal2 I almost did, but I truly enjoy it and the selections are pretty good. Sometimes not so good, but then I just skip it😉 6y

MinDea @MeganAnn Yes! I agree. I'm not seeing the perk. It's not like a book I haven't heard of before or learn of later is featured. 6y

MinDea @GaylaGal yes skipping is a nice feature! 6y

alisiakae I will be canceling when I use up the last of my credits. 6y

MinDea @4thhouseontheleft 🙌 I think we're in the same boat! 6y

sprainedbrain I cancelled last December as part of my book buying ban... I did rejoin the month Circe came out because it was a good deal, but then I cancelled again. I don‘t regret it so far! 6y

Valeka I keep skipping months and have been for the past 7 months. I am seriously considering canceling it and getting Audible books instead. 6y

JamieArc I just do month to month, so I only ever have 1 credit at a time. For me, it‘s worth it because when they have books that I really want, they are half as expensive as buying in store, and I‘ve read a bunch of books through botm that I probably never would have read otherwise. 6y

JackOBotts How does the cancellation process work with the new credit system? I have two credits and am thinking of cancelling (budget, mainly)... I know I can only cancel by phone... 🤦🏻‍♀️ @sprainedbrain @irre 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y

MinDea @JamiwArc that might be a good idea switching to monthly instead of yearly. 6y

ErikasMindfulShelf @JackOBotts I know there is a cancellation button on the website now so I don‘t think you need to call. My membership renews late December so I‘m going to do it before then. I saw someone else cancel and they had to use their credit writhing a certain amount of time. 6y

Reviewsbylola I did cancel, but now I rejoined because of the awesome selections this month. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ 6y

MinDea @Reviewsbylola 😆😆😆 They are good picks this month! 6y

JackOBotts @irre Thank you! @Reviewsbylola & @MinDea I used my final 2 credits for this month and will call to cancel before it renews in late November. I‘m sure I‘ll list after future months and the selection fun, but I‘ve such a backlog, it‘s out of control! 🤷🏻‍♀️ #goodproblems 6y

MinDea @JackOBotts I cancelled online! You don't have to call to cancel. 6y

JackOBotts @MinDea where did you see how to do that?! I‘m only seeing the phone number on My Account page. Both on my phone and my laptop! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y

MinDea @JackOBotts My Account. Click Learn More under My Membership at the bottom of that section you should see a red box that says "Cancel My Membership" under the monthly and yearly membership options. Hope that helps! 6y

the-flashley Doesn't sound like a problem to me!! 😁😂 8y

BibliophileMomma That's exactly how I was when I was a kid and I'm just like you now. I've got an audiobook going, 2 regular books and a ebooks going. 8y

hlgreenfield The exact same thing happened to me! It used to be unthinkable to me to be reading more than one, but now I do it a lot! ( Although eventually I reach a point in one of the books where I get obsessed and focus on one until it ends) 8y

Readingrobin Just ordered for library 📚 where I work! 8y
