Trouble with You | Ellen Feldman

This broke my heart a little this morning…. But it‘s so true! I once read the slowest breakup you will ever have is with your son - my son is now 15 and I feel this every day 😞 even though I know it‘s the right thing.
I find it an amazing part of reading when an author find the words that hit you right to t he heart ❤️

Any of these sound good?

rwmg All 3 are excellent. Difficult to pick one. 2mo
TheAromaofBooks I\'ve read Raven Black, so that would probably be my third place pick, although I\'m not opposed to reading it again since it\'s been such a long time. The other two are both on my TBR, so I would be down for either one!!

I\'ll pull together some options later this week!! @bookandbedandtea

bookandbedandtea I've read The Thursday Murder Club but I wouldn't mind reading it again as a group and seeing everyone's comments! But any of these are fine with me. @TheAromaofBooks 2mo
Jerdencon @TheAromaofBooks @bookandbedandtea I‘ll go with the one no one has read… 2mo

Finished this early this morning before work! A little crazy! I‘ll get it back to you as soon as I can get myself to the post office. Sarah - hope you got the book I mailed a few weeks ago - I think I forgot to post it here.
@TheAromaofBooks @bookandbedandtea
Also - this was the last book in the round? Do we want to do another round or take a break? Im fine whichever way.

bookandbedandtea I keep meaning to ask you both about continuing, so I'm glad you brought it up @Jerdencon . I'm enjoying it, but totally understand if either of you need a break. @TheAromaofBooks 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Yes!! I did get The Last Close Call and am SO sorry I didn\'t remember to post about its arrival. I seem to have a habit of taking pictures of things and then not making the posts to go with them 😂 I\'m really enjoying our thriller/mysteries, so I am totally down for another round - this one would be Oct/Nov/Dec - or take a break - or skip December and do Oct/Nov/Jan - whatever works best!! @bookandbedandtea 2mo
Jerdencon @bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks I‘m good for Oct/nov/jan - figure we can send at the end of October and if no one is in a rush can send this book and that book at the same time to save money. I‘ll do another post with some book ideas later. Excited for another round! (edited) 2mo

I did a search for good but underrated mystery books and these sounded interesting - let me know what you think j @TheAromaofBooks @robinb @bookandbedandtea

robinb These all sound good, Denise! Judging from blurbs I‘d probably go with Jar City, The Midnight Witness, Northern Spy and then the Woodstock…but I‘m good with the consensus. 😊 6mo
bookandbedandtea I've read Jar City and Northern Spy. Either of the other two sound good to me! 6mo
Jerdencon Any preferences @TheAromaofBooks? 6mo
TheAromaofBooks I haven't read any of these, so I am fine with whichever one works best!! Probably a slight inclination to The Midnight Witness out of the two that @bookandbedandtea hasn't read yet. @robinb 6mo
bookandbedandtea Sounds great! 6mo
robinb 👍👍👍 5mo
TheAromaofBooks @Jerdencon - I received your books over a week ago and just keep forgetting to post anything!!! @bookandbedandtea did you get the books I sent to you? 4mo
bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks Yes I did! Sorry, I keep forgetting to post also. @Jerdencon I still haven't mailed the next book to you and I apologize. 😵‍💫 Lately I just collapse when I'm finished with work but I promise I'll get it sent next week. 4mo
Jerdencon @TheAromaofBooks glad you got them. 4mo
Jerdencon @bookandbedandtea no worries! Send it when you have time! 4mo
TheAromaofBooks @bookandbedandtea - No worries on not posting about their arrival, I think I got the books Denise sent back at the end of July and yesterday was the first time I remembered to mention it 😂 4mo

bookandbedandtea @ElizaMarie I went to the post office after work but there 42 (!) people in line and the line did not move an inch for 10 minutes. 😖 I left and will go again tomorrow. 6mo

bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks The Recovery Agent has arrived, Sarah! 🎉 6mo
TheAromaofBooks @bookandbedandtea - yay!! At least one book made it there 😂 6mo
TheAromaofBooks Hey!!! I had a crazy weekend and forgot to let you know that Murder on the Tracks arrived safely!!! 6mo
Jerdencon @TheAromaofBooks I just realized I never mailed this back to you! I‘m so sorry - I will send it along with the next book if that‘s ok - too many books lying around here! 5mo
TheAromaofBooks Yes!! That's totally fine - I literally thought the other day that I should tell you do that to save on postage and then I spaced 😂 @bookandbedandtea doesn't realize it yet but that's what is happening with her book as well LOL definitely planning to send them both before the end of July!! 5mo
bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks You made me laugh! No rush 😄 5mo
TheAromaofBooks @bookandbedandtea - I kept thinking, I need to either mail this OR let Paula know I'm going to mail it later... but neither of those things seemed to happen 😂 5mo

I keep hearing about this Netflix show and how it‘s based on a book and sounds right up my alley…. Decide I should read the book first and then watch the show only to see on my Goodreads account that I read it and gave it 4 stars in August 2016…. And have no recollection of it! 😂
Debating rereading or reskimming or just going to the show?? I guess I liked it 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 Hate when that happens! Am I the only one?

Ruthiella I don‘t think I have ever forgotten a book wholesale, but then, if I‘ve forgotten, how would I know? 😂 It happens. 10mo
Elizabeth2 It‘s definitely happened to me. Found a book on my shelves and thought, that‘s shelved wrong, I‘ve never read that. Nope. On Goodreads there‘s a rating. No idea what the book was about. It went in the donate pile. 😂 10mo
Crazeedi Oh I've done this too! Thinking oh I'd like to read, then goodreads tells me I read 5 years ago, lol 10mo

Love when I‘m reading a book and it mentions something in my neighborhood - I pass by Creedmoor every day on my way to work as it‘s only a mile from my house - the top right picture was taken today in the fog making it seem even more creepy… it‘s the largest building around for miles in this part of Queens. Also - on the campus are 3 public schools and currently a tent migrant shelter. Interesting place… #literarycrew @Librarybelle
