Bk13 of March is done. I first read this over 20yrs ago before my copy was “borrowed” and never seen again. It‘s a little bit dated, it was written in 1987 after all, but it‘s still a gripping thriller. Former marine Jack Ryan is in London on holiday when he is involved in an attempted kidnapping of the Prince Of Wales. After thwarting the Irish terrorists, he becomes a target himself while also being headhunted by the CIA.

This is an #LMPBC read so I don't want to say too much. I did enjoy this one but was also somewhat frustrated by some parts of it. I'm already intrigued to find out what the rest of #GroupD thinks of this one!!

Also love the cover layout for this one.

Professional_Book_Dragon I‘m excited to get it! I‘m just starting mine today. Should be done in a few days! :) 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Professional_Book_Dragon - looks like you will be the last one to read it, so you'll have the fun of everyone's notes!! 5y

Professional_Book_Dragon @TheAromaofBooks Where did you see the schedule? She said she would post it but I only saw the last round. Did it miss it somewhere? 5y

Andrew65 Still going well! 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Professional_Book_Dragon - did you not get the email with the names/addresses of everyone in the group?? 5y

Professional_Book_Dragon @TheAromaofBooks I did but there wasn‘t a schedule that I saw. She said she‘d post it on her Litsy but I never saw round 8. I figured since I‘m 3 I mail to 4 and then to 1 and then 2. It looked like that was what happened last round? 5y

katy4peas Cool cover! 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Professional_Book_Dragon - Yes, at the end of this month you will mail your book to me (since I'm 4) and I will mail my book to Ruth (who is 1), etc. Jill (3) will mail to you. Then at the end of April, you'll mail Jill's book to me, I'll mail your book to Ruth, etc. Each person always mails to the next person on the list until you get your own book back. 5y

Professional_Book_Dragon @TheAromaofBooks thanks! 5y

1 - I have a tendency to go overboard!! No photo challenges for me, but I am participating in #ReadtheUSA2020, #SeparatedbyaPondTour, #ReadingEurope2020, #Booked2020, #AuthoraMonth, #LitsyAtoZ, & #ReadWithMrBook
2 - I host #BookSpin (tagged book is this month's pick!) & have a weakness for any type of reading bingo, so I am reading for #Jennyis30 & #WinterBookBingo as well as the BookishFirst book bingo card each month. I do “cheat“ on ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) - challenges: I rarely pick books because they fit a need; I like to read books & then see which boxes they check!!
Also forgot that I am also in #LMPBC & am reading along with #HeyCarrots, & this month am participating in #MarchUnshelving... guys, I may be addicted to hashtags!
3. It's hard to pick just three: a husband who fits all the “my other half“ cliches, a sister who is also my best of friends, & a family that always has my back 5y

Borrowing this ebook from the library for the “set locally” square of @Honeybeegirl‘s #winterbookbingo challenge. It has burrowing owls in it, so why not? 😁 #bookbingo

LibrarianRyan Love this book. His book Chomp is better. 5y

Free to Fall | Lauren Miller

Set in the not-too-distant future, society looks very similar to today. Unsurprisingly, people are more dependent on their cell phones than ever, especially on an app called Lux, which analyzes every situation for you and tells you the optimal choice for every question - what to eat, where to shop, when to leave for an appointment. When Rory gets accepted to the most prestigious high school in the country, she's thrilled, especially when she ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks finds out that her mother (who died when Rory was born) also attended the same school. Things take a darker twist, though, as Rory begins to discover things about the school, a secret society, and (of course) Lux. While some aspects of this story were predictable YA/scifi/dystopian kind of stuff, overall I really loved the concept of a society that has done its best to quash that quiet voice in our heads & replace it with 100% rational choices ⬇ 5y

TheAromaofBooks thanks to technology. This book felt like it could easily have strayed too far into religious territory, but kept the balance well. Overall a fun read for its genre.

bibliobliss @MissAimz_55 Exactly 😉 5y

Geenie How do you sign up for these or find them? 5y

bibliobliss @Yoshi-and-a-book All the challenges here are floating around on Litsy. They all have their own hashtags and can be located in the search function via hashtag. You don't have to sign up for most of these, you just find one you'd like to try and join in. Find the original post, take a screenshot and post on your profile. The only ones I "signed up" for are the #LitsyAtoZ and #NWC #NovelWatchingCrew (which I also found on Litsy and joined the group) 5y

Geenie Thanks so much! @Readage the challenges are so cool 😎 5y

bibliobliss @Yoshi-and-a-book You're welcome. Any more questions, I'll try to help 😉 5y

Reviewsbylola You‘ve got a lot on your plate! 5y
