My February #BOTM picks! If it wasn‘t already obvious, historical fiction is my favorite genre. Looking forward to reading both of these as soon as possible! #bookofthemonth

JenReadsAlot I almost added Send For Me! 4y
chelreads @JenReadsAlot I try to limit myself to one add-on a month and this one sounded so good! What did you end up picking this month? 4y
JenReadsAlot Girl A because I already have a signed copy of the Four Winds. 4y
chelreads @JenReadsAlot Girl A was another one that interested me. Lucky you for the signed copy! Kristin Hannah is one of my favorites! 4y

Unexpected book mail today! (I thought I ordered something off of Amazon in my sleep again 😴) I believe it‘s from one of my fellow #TheBreakfastBookClub members since this was one of the books that we lost. Thanks to whoever sent it my way - I‘ll pick up a notebook before passing it along to @melyndarae

whatsthEStorey Oh wow that got there fast!!! I was going to post today, I ordered it just yesterday and it was due Friday the 29th! Go Amazon! I included a notebook in the package with The Lost Girl of Astor Street with my notes from Point, Claw. The package was supposed to go out this weekend, but Christmas procrastination....it will go out Wednesday. 6y
whatsthEStorey Also, now that I look at the picture again, I did not order the uncorrected proof. 🤔 Is that a paperback and is it used? I ordered a new hardcover. (edited) 6y
whatsthEStorey Just got off with Amazon customer service, they will be sending the correct item, so be watching out for a new one! It should be a new hardback, so let me know how it looks when it gets there! 6y

chelreads @whatsthEStorey it is used and paperback. I can send this copy back to you or Amazon - let me know what you prefer! 6y
whatsthEStorey Nope, no need to return it. I told them it was a gift so they will just send you the right one! 6y
