Bookwormjillk Why? Because he smelled ghosts. This book gives me major Clue The Movie vibes and I‘m loving it. 19h

TheAromaofBooks I can't believe I'm saying it, but these chapters are almost TOO short! 😂 17h

Bklover I love when a mystery keeps throwing in seemingly unrelated occurrences to get you good and confused, and then wraps it all up neatly at the end. I hope. 16h

ElizaMarie @Bklover Thats what I am hoping too!

@TheAromaOfBooks I am super tempted to do 2 chapters a day at least, I feel like I am getting into it, then I stop. 15h

Ruthiella This book keeps getting weirder and weirder. ? And Campion seems to be not too bright. Surely an act, à la Colombo? (edited) 15h

willaful @Ruthiella I think he's Lord Peter Wimsey, or maybe vice versa! 10h

Ruthiella @willaful Interesting! Maybe there is a connection there! Stealing like an artist. 🤔 7h

BarkingMadRead @Bklover it‘s so easy to do! I‘m in Disney this weekend so I‘m reading for Saturday and Sunday right now 🤣 1d

kspenmoll Can you had me to your tag list? Just found this in a pile…! I will catch up! 1d

BarkingMadRead @kspenmoll absolutely! It will be easy to catch up, the chapters are so short! 1d

Bklover Oh have a great time!! 1d

BarkingMadRead @Bklover thank you!! 1d

Bookwormjillk I don‘t know if this has been made into a movie but I can picture it as one. 1d

Ruthiella @Bklover I am reading ahead too! On chapter 9. 😂 1d

Ruthiella @mcctrish I wonder if it really was the uncle? Like maybe it is an imposter? And the mask was to hide it? 🤔 (edited) 1d

willaful @Ruthiella makes sense. So that's probably not it. 😂 1d

Ruthiella @willaful 😂😂😂 1d

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm catching up! 1d

kspenmoll @Bklover The same happened ti me. I was so involved I forgot & read thru ch 8 before I realized I was ahead! 24h

mcctrish @Ruthiella that makes sense - there is more than one level of deception going on 18h

ElizaMarie @Bookwormjillk I agree!!! 17h

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk nope! It‘s still a mystery! 🔪 2d

Bookwormjillk @willaful 🤣🤣🤣 2d

AllDebooks Sure, I'll sign that, no questions asked. 👀 2d

Bklover Sounds pretty fishy to me! (Is that still a phrase?) 2d

willaful @Bklover might be a red herring! 2d

Bklover @willaful 😉😂😂 2d

mcctrish I don‘t think his plan to sign and then run to the village in the morning to get the constabulary is sound #whatcouldgowrong 2d

lil1inblue @mcctrish It's fine. Everything will be fine. 🤣🤣🤣 2d

mcctrish @lil1inblue I wonder if there is a crematorium on the estate #kingofashes 🔥🔥 2d

Bklover Well, I‘m betting there‘s blood SOMEWHERE! 3d

julieclair If it really was a heart attack (which I doubt), then surely someone else is going to be stabbed at some point. We can't have this jewel-encrusted, legendary dagger hanging around without someone getting stabbed with it! 😉 3d

🎄Do you follow a celebrity one?

Join the fun! Answer in the comments ⬇️ or post and tag 💜

@WanderingBookaneer @Cupcake12 @Karisa @AmyG @TheBookHippie @Erinreadsthebooks @Bookperson96 @tpixie @purpleypumpkin @thebookgeekfrau @xicanti @Jeg

BookishMarginalia I used to read the #OprahBookClub picks once upon a time. Now I dabble in different picks as the mood strikes. My fave book club read this year is from my Monday book club:

Flourishing Kin: Indigenous Wisdom for Collective Well-Being

RaeLovesToRead I've only just heard about the Audacious book club and now I am excited! 🥰 4d

lil1inblue @RaeLovesToRead Tell me more.... 🤓 4d

See All 25 Comments

RaeLovesToRead @lil1inblue It's Roxane Gay's book club! 4d

lil1inblue I read so many good books this year; it's hard to pick. But this is one that I wish I had read with a group, because it was soooo good:

Now in November

AmyG No clue what book that is. I used to read Oprah‘s, too. Now I find that I am wnjoying some of Jenna Bush‘s books. 4d

lil1inblue @RaeLovesToRead OMG, now I'm excited, too! *runs to google* 4d

dabbe What a fun game! I enjoyed finishing the #noplacelikeholmes buddy read where we read the whole canon. I also enjoyed finished the #shardlakebr where we read all the Matthew Shardlake books by C.J. Sansom. And I loved all the books we read this year with the #hashtagbrigade, led by the invincible @BarkingMadRead. 🩵☃️🩶 4d

TheBookHippie @RaeLovesToRead oh I‘m so in for this. 4d

TheBookHippie I have tried IRL Bookclub 😵‍💫🫣 they don‘t read the book and get together to bash their partners and I want no part of that. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 back in the day I would check out Oprah but it‘s been a long long long time. My favourite “bookclub” is my #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD and I think our November book was my favorite

Life with Picasso

(edited) 4d

TheBookgeekFrau I read Flowers for Algernon for an IRL bookclub. Haven't followed a celebrity book club since the OG Oprah one. I have to say I kind of resent those book club seals on book covers; they interfere with the esthetic 😤 As for the trivia question yeah, no clue 😂 4d

Karisa @TheBookHippie That was my experience too! So awkward showing up as the only one that wanted to talk about the book. 🤓😂🤣 4d

Karisa I‘ve read so many great ones this year with Litsy people! Life with Picasso, 1984, Fearless, Woodworking, Wild Dark Shore, and The Death of the Author are some that first come to mind. Always a great discussion with the book groups on Litsy! 🥰💗🥰💗 4d

TheBookHippie @Karisa SOLIDARITY. 4d

lil1inblue @karisa @TheBookHippie I'm glad I'm not alone in my IRL book club experience. ? Not only do they not read or discuss the book, but it always ends up being a book I'm meh about reading. I much prefer litsy "clubs". ? 4d

TheBookHippie @lil1inblue THAT TOO!! 4d

Karisa @lil1inblue 🎯 🥰 4d

WanderingBookaneer @TheBookHippie and @Karisa : I run a book club, Books on Tap, that meets at a local brewery. We don‘t have assigned books. People just share what they read during the past month. Some of us bring books to hand out after we‘ve read them. 4d

TheBookHippie @WanderingBookaneer I want to join. ♥️ 4d

Karisa @WanderingBookaneer That‘s the way to do it! 😊🥰 4d

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick The tagged is probably the best of book club fiction that I read this year. I don't really follow many of the celebrity ones. If I happen to choose one they've selected, great, but I tend to like things a little weird and they're usually very standard books.

Migrations: A Novel

Cupcake12 I loved reading this book club read. I don‘t normally like historical reads but this captured my heart from the start. I dolly the Happy Place Book club by Fearne Cotton - a tv presenter, podcaster in the UK.

The Air Raid Book Club: A Novel

tpixie @WanderingBookaneer that‘s a cool 😎 sounding Bookclub!! 4d

tpixie I generally don‘t read celebrity book club books although I did just love Sarah Jessica Parker‘s imprint book I Am You that a few of my recent post about. My in real life Bookclub also doesn‘t stand focus or go as in depth because I would like to go with a Bookclub, but I‘ve continued because it‘s the only social thing I do each month. I get much more out of my #LitsyBuddyReads and @litsybookclub books. 4d

LeafingThroughLife I used to follow Oprah‘s Book Club pretty closely, but lately I think I, probably unwittingly, am following Reese‘s Book Club with more success. This year, I loved

The Phoenix Pencil Company: A Novel

ElizaMarie Ha, this ritual sounds lovely! I mean, what can go wrong when you pass a murder weapon among your friends? Love the pacing of this book so far :) 5d

Ruthiella It‘s all fun and games until someone gets murdered! 😱😅 5d

Cuilin I know I shouldn‘t, but I would so join in on this game. 😬 5d

peanutnine Did none of their parents teach them not to play with knives?!! 5d

eeclayton That's not a game I'd be comfortable taking part in 😳 5d

TheAromaofBooks I'm like... isn't this thing SHARP!? 😂 4d

willaful @peanutnine I'm buddy watching an English Christmas program (The Box of Delights) and someone commented that all English children are 40 years old. Conversely, I think all English adults may be children. 😂

It does seem to me that if/when someone gets murdered, Albert Campion is indirectly responsible... 4d

dabbe And they're going to pass around this dagger in the dark? Whattheheck???? 4d

lil1inblue @Cuilin Honestly, I would probably join in, too. 😅 4d

lil1inblue Murder aside, it's dark... Won't hands get cut? 😱 4d

Bookwormjillk Let the ritual begin! This book is wild already. I love it. 4d

mcctrish What could go wrong ?! 4d

Bklover @dabbe I‘m with you- I think they‘re nuts! 4d

kspenmoll Definitely wild, atmospheric.i have read a few Campions before after I watched a few episodes on Britbox.The novels are much better! 24h

rubyslippersreads @lil1inblue And if your hands get cut and you bleed, aren‘t you a murder suspect? 🤣 4h

The Grapes of Wrath | John Steinbeck

pick

I didn't intend to read The Grapes of Wrath this year, but I've always meant to and @BarkingMadRead and the #hashtagbrigade reading it in November seemed like a perfect opportunity. It's a heavy book made all the more heavy by how timely it is right now. Steinbeck's writing is amazing. It's been several years since I read East of Eden and I'm thinking it may be time for a reread soon.

Bookwormjillk I had trouble keeping everyone apart as usual but I‘m sure if I keep going it will eventually make sense. 6d

KAO I‘d never heard of this book or the author, so it‘s all brand new to me! I looked it up online to find the original publication date to be 1929. (My paperback copy didn‘t have that info.) Meanwhile, the repetition of “Glad it‘s not mine” makes me smile. More to come on that, for sure! 6d

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk Me too. So many characters! I am sure they will all become more recognizable in future chapters. 🤞 6d

Cuilin Can I be added to the tag list please? 6d

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin yes!! 6d

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella the first chapters are always the hardest, until the characters have a chance to make an impression! 6d

ElizaMarie Can I be added please :) 6d

mcctrish @KAO it‘s new to me too, I have a feeling I might be repeating #imgladitsnotmine in my head all day 6d

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie gotcha!! 6d

dabbe Sounds like this might be a locked-room mystery! 6d

AllDebooks Please count me in 😊 6d

ElizaMarie So many peeps! 5d

eeclayton I'm having a super busy day but I'll catch up tomorrow! 5d

lil1inblue Had a long day, but may I be added also? ☺️ This is brand new for me, too! I think Meggie is going to be amusing. 5d

julieclair Please add me to the tag list. 😍 Remembering who the characters are will be easier once we give them all nicknames! 😁 5d

BarkingMadRead @lil1inblue gotcha! 5d

Daisey Please add me to the tag list. I wasn‘t sure, but 2 days into your posts, I‘m sure I can fit it in. 4d
