pick

I‘m guessing this is a rerelease because of all the Are You There God hype, it‘s copyrighted 1998. #readwithjenna it was an impulse buy at Costco because of the cover 🌊 JB has no filter when it comes to emerging sexuality and that‘s apparent here but so is family, friendship, coming of age. What I appreciated the MOST was how true to herself Victoria ( Vix) became, finding your own path can be hard

Chain-Gang All-Stars: A Novel | Adjei-Brenyah, Nana K

Top 3 are my #Aardvark picks - so stoked! I've heard nothing but amazing things about Chain-Gang and it's cool to see a #readwithjenna pick with Aardvark! Great get 👏🏽 (And how cute is the logo placement on her headphones for This Bird Has Flown??)

Bottom 2 are my #BOTM picks. The Half Moon because I loved her last book and Weyward because... FOMO.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen @swishandflick if you have two I would like to try it!! How does it compare to #BOTM? 2y

swishandflick They don't have individual referral codes, unfortunately, but you can use the code "HELLOSPRING" to get your first book for $4! @Cinfhen @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 2y

Cinfhen Exciting!!! Thanks 😊 2y

TheBookHippie I‘m loving Aardvark!!! 2y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @swishandflick awesome! Thank you! 2y

Cinfhen Im ALWAYS so impressed with Aardvarks titles @TheBookHippie 🙌🏻🎊♥️ 2y

Cinfhen Done, thanks so much for sharing the code, Ashley 💖 2y

swishandflick @cinfhen - of course! I hope you love them too! 2y

swishandflick @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Yay, happy to help! Also realized I forgot to answer your question. I've really loved Aardvark and their customer service is amazing. Some BOTM members have commented on shipping taking a little longer, but that doesn't bother me personally knowing they're a start up. And I LOVE that they embrace giving hints about their upcoming choices. I've been very pleased with my membership and the book quality overall! 😊 2y

Great Circle | Maggie Shipstead

For those of you interested in Reese and Jenna's picks for May! The #readwithjenna pick is Great Circle and Reese's is The Last Thing He Told Me.

(Note: I did not personally find these, a sleuth on Facebook did, but wanted to spread the word!)

Reviewsbylola Just need those BOTM spoilers now! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 4y

swishandflick @Reviewsbylola I know. For the life of me I can't figure out why they don't just find a way to embrace the buzz that comes with people's excitement for spoilers, rather than do everything they can to snuff it out 🤷🏽‍♀️ 4y

FYI for #BOTM peeps - the #readwithjenna partnership has ended so moving forward those picks will likely not overlap.

MicheleinPhilly Even the Today Show has had it with their shit. 4y

vivastory You know there's some meetings happening right now 😂 4y

ValerieAndBooks I wonder if this decision was made before or after BOTM added this book to their site the day after so many of us made our picks already!! 4y

marleed Interesting... 4y

Megabooks Extra glad I canceled because I usually liked Jenna‘s picks. 4y

A sleuth on Facebook found the #readwithjenna spoiler for April! Which in turn makes it a pretty solid shoe in for a #BOTM pick.

MicheleinPhilly 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 I need to burn this last credit so I can cancel! 4y

EmberIvyRose Pretty cover! 4y

Reviewsbylola Blasphemy! @MicheleinPhilly 😂😂 4y

Reviewsbylola Also, this is such a pretty cover so I‘ll probably order if it‘s a BOTM. 😂 4y

MicheleinPhilly @Reviewsbylola I‘ve skipped for like 3 months in a row. I can‘t anymore. 😒 4y

umbrellagirl I liked The Nest.

The Nest

Megabooks Ahhh! I wondered. I‘ve preordered it on Libro.fm - great narrator! 4y

Megabooks @MicheleinPhilly I‘m canceling too. So sick of this year‘s choices! 4y

Cathythoughts I loved the Nest... just pre-ordered this new one 👍🏻 4y

TheBookStacker I am very excited for this! I loved The Nest! 4y

swishandflick Confession: The Nest has been sitting unread on my shelf for years 🙈 @umbrellagirl @Cathythoughts @TheBookStacker 4y

swishandflick Say whaaaa?! The two of you are some of my #BOTM OGs, haha @MicheleinPhilly @Megabooks 4y

MicheleinPhilly I‘ve just been more annoyed than impressed with them lately. I used to struggle to limit myself to a single purchase each month, now I struggle to find ONE book a month. And the picks I‘ve gotten from the library have been more meh than yeah. 4y

swishandflick @MicheleinPhilly I hear ya! I haven't been overly impressed with the books I've been buying but I still can't help myself. Haha 4y

Lissa00 Good find! I haven‘t seen any other spoilers this month. 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Megabooks yes, they have been awful! 4y

marleed @MicheleinPhilly @swishandflick @megabooks I wonder if part of the problem stems from Botm‘s commitment to represent varying groups and diversities in each month‘s selections. Perhaps the quality of each story is taking a back seat to a broader representation of people. Hopefully, it will will keep getting easier to pick great books and meet diversity objectives.

ValerieAndBooks So odd that this wasn‘t a BOTM this month. I‘d have picked it if it was. None really grab me. Is Jenna still collaborating with BOTM? 4y

MicheleinPhilly @marleed I can think of PLENTY of diverse authors, both new and established, that have released books this year to wide acclaim and buzz. They can still offer quality while maintaining their commitment to highlighting diverse voices. I just wonder whether some authors and publishers weren‘t just turned off of BOTM altogether after their behavior last year. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y
