Pickpick

I haven‘t wanted to simultaneously praise a book and throw it out the window in a long time 😂 I couldn‘t put it down and think it‘s the most well written psychological thriller I‘ve read in a loooonnng time.....right up until the last sentence 😡 *cue book being thrown out window * I‘m giving it a pick because it stirred up so many strong emotions and pulled me out of a reading slump 👍🏻 If you‘ve read it PLEASE tell me thoughts on the ending!

lynneamch Argh! I read the last bit four times. Still loved the book, but sure would like to talk with J. T. about that ending. What bugs me the most is the timing. Did she really find Josie so quickly after Holly brought the news that Ivy wasn't hers? She says social media has destroyed anonimity, but, come on! I keep feeling like I must have missed something. 6y
Bookworm83 @lynneamch Right?!?! I feel the same! Have you read her most recent book? I‘m going to give her another try 🤞🏻 6y
lynneamch I really liked this one on audio. 6y
lynneamch Will definitely read the newest. I heard her talk about it at Southern Festival of Books and loved her. #sfb2018 6y
Bookworm83 @lynneamch Awesome! I‘ll check that other one of hers out, too then! 6y

Ok lots of security and no photos of the Justice allowed but I wanted to give a plug for her middle grade and young reader books. She was warm, generous, empathetic and with such a fabulous story of growing up Puerto Rican in New York and being diagnosed at age 7 with diabetes. She hugged all the kids who asked questions - my favorite was “what‘s it like to work with RBG” answer “I love her!” A rock star Justice and first latina on SCOTUS!

lynneamch Yes. Yes. Yes! She was. And ended up allowing pix with kids only. So gracious and inspiring. She says there are 2 things we all are obligated to do: vote and serve (jury duty). #sfb2018 #nashville 6y
Booksnchill @lynneamch right - thanks for adding this such an important message! 6y

This man is genius! Don't let the title (which sounds depressing) scare you off. #sfb2018 #nashville

lynneamch This was my first Urrea. I want to read them all now. 6y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Wow - wish I could go! 6y
britt_brooke Are you going all 3 days? I‘m coming down Saturday. I‘m a rookie and need you to school me on how this works. Are you supposed to buy the books you want signed there? Or can you bring a copy? 6y
britt_brooke @BooksTeasAndBookishThings Are you coming down for this? 6y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings I wish! We will be in Memphis or I really would 😍 6y
Booksnchill @BooksTeasAndBookishThings i remembered the birthday celebration so didn‘t tag you! We will miss you! 6y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings Same! I can‘t wait to see pictures of y‘all getting together again and being around so much book fun ❤️ 6y
britt_brooke @Booksnchill You have a better memory than I do! 😆 Have a safe trip @BooksTeasAndBookishThings ! 6y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @britt_brooke thank you! I can‘t believe she will be 3! And Winter will be 9 months old 3 days after that. Seems so fast 6y
Elma I have a friend from college in town this weekend, so I don't think I'll make it this year. 6y
britt_brooke @Booksnchill Who are you most excited to see (other than Sotomayor)? 6y
Booksnchill @britt_brooke alexander Chee, Rebekah Makkai, Lorrie Moore, Celeste Ng all are possibilities. You should download the app- on the book festival website 6y
ferskner What a view! I'm debating on when I'll go. If you guys are meeting up, let me know! 6y
Booksnchill @ferskner may just be me and @britt_brooke I am going for the first session Saturday and Sotomayor for sure. 6y
LouLouLane Hey guys!! Been meaning to get in touch! I‘ll be there for all 3 days! Should we try to meet up for Sotomayor? 6y
Booksnchill @LouLouLane i am up for that- probably need to get there early as with the Kavanaugh appointment she is likely to be a hot speaker! 6y
britt_brooke @Booksnchill Thanks - I downloaded the app earlier. It‘s really helpful! I‘m planning to catch Rick Bragg at 10:30 then Sotomayor later and pretty much wander around and check things out in between. 6y
britt_brooke @LouLouLane @Booksnchill @ferskner Meeting up for Sotomayor sounds like a plan! Should we meet an hour prior (noonish) or is that too early? 6y
LouLouLane Hey @britt_brooke one thing that I wish I had done last year is walk around the table set up with all of the books from the authors that are at the fest when I first get there. I sometimes don‘t remember an authors name but when I see the cover It comes back to me. I didn‘t do this until the last day and realized I had missed some people that I would have loved to have seen. 6y
LouLouLane I was planning on going to to Atticus Finch talk at noon. Any chance y‘all could save a seat for me and one other if you go in early? 6y
Booksnchill @LouLouLane will do 4 sure! 6y
britt_brooke @LouLouLane Thanks for the tip! I‘ll definitely do that. 6y
Hazel0303 Omg I love her. I wish I could be there! 6y
lynneamch @britt_brooke @LouLouLane @booknchill I'll be there Saturday. 9:30 coffee. 10:00 J.T.Ellison. 11:00 Luis Alberto Urrea. 12:00 Music Stage (Bayou Band). 1:00 Sonia 💖. 2:00 Nadine Strossen. Any suggestions after that? #nashville #sfb2018 6y
Booksnchill @lynneamch those all sound great! The Centennial Park arts and Craft fair is also going on if you have time before 5- and the NPL library book sale was being set up today in the library main lobby- bring a big bag!!! 6y
britt_brooke @lynneamch This is my first time, but your plan sounds great. We‘re all going to meet up for Sonia if you‘d like to join us? 6y
lynneamch @britt_brooke Could you save a seat for me? I'll plan to get there about 12:30 and text you to find out where you are. It's a huge room! 6y
lynneamch Arts and Crafts Fair sounds good, too. I see you liked my Girl in Disguise post. Remind me to tell you something about the author. Excited for her new one out in March. 6y
Booksnchill @lynneamch will do looking forward to meeting you! 6y
britt_brooke @lynneamch Sure! Send me an email and we can exchange numbers: brittany.seibert@gmail.com 6y
ferskner @Booksnchill @britt_brooke @LouLouLane Gah I'm trying to decide what to do! Tomorrow is the only day I can go apple picking, but I also want to see all of you and geek out over authors! 6y
Booksnchill @ferskner such a busy weekend and beautiful weather! 6y
ferskner I know! I hate that the festival is in October. I need it in February, when there is nothing going on. 6y
britt_brooke @ferskner Both options sound fun! Hope to see you but understand if we don‘t. 💚 6y
ferskner @Booksnchill @britt_brooke @LouLouLane I went with apple picking today because this chill in the air demands it, but who will be around tomorrow? I would love to meet up if possible. 6y
Booksnchill @ferskner i won‘t be here tomorrow- sad to miss you 6y
britt_brooke @ferskner I won‘t be there tomorrow. 🙁 6y
LouLouLane I‘ll be here!!! Great American read panel at noon should be good! 6y
