Hello #LMPBC #GroupS friends! What do y‘all think of these as choices for our Springtime read?
@Jerdencon @Deblovestoread @Reggie

The Violets of March: A Novel

See All 8 Comments

julieclair Springtime in Lawrence Park does not seem to be in the Litsy catalogue, so I could not tag it… 2y

Reggie Peacock Spring was one I left off my post. I vote for it but whatever you choose I‘m good with. 🙂 2y

Jerdencon All sound good to me! 2y

Deblovestoread I have Sweet Bean Paste on my kindle and haven‘t heard of the others. They all sound good to me, too. 2y

julieclair @Reggie , @Jerdencon , @Deblovestoread As it turns out, Springtime in Lawrence Park is only available digitally, and both The Peacock Spring and Sweet Bean Paste could not be delivered until March 6 - 13. I‘m going on vacation March 3, and really wanted to bring it with me. So by default, I‘m choosing

I have officially been to the post office. Out in the mail is 2 boxes for #summersantagoespostal and one of two boxes for #makerswap. Plus my controversial book. Yeah.

BookishMarginalia, wellreadredhead

BookishMarginalia 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 6y

VanChocStrawberry Ohhhh...what‘s your controversial book? Is that for a group? 6y

LibrarianRyan @VanChocStrawberry yes. Similar to #LMPBC except there are just four of us. I started with The Black Witch, someone started with The Hate You Give, and I can not remember the other two. But it is at a much slower pace. No set dates. 6y

ShananigansReads I will be ordering these scooby doo stamps for my office, cause I like to keep it professional. 😂 6y

LibrarianRyan @Bookjunkie57 You and me both. When they first came out they ran out of the quickly so I am glad they brought them back. I really wanted the Woodstock stamps, but they are not out til next month.

Crazeedi I love getting the new and different stamps, they always look at me at the post office when I say no I don't want a flag book, what do you have different and new? It was nice when my sister was a postmaster, cause she always got me all the new cool stamps. 6y

LibrarianRyan @Crazeedi That would be nice. I have a tendency to mix out on the really awesome ones. I didn't get any Mr. Rogers. 😠. But they reprinted Scobby so he must have been popular. 6y

Crazeedi @LibrarianRyan I did get mr. Roger's and shared w my daughter, I rationed them! Lol 6y

SaturnDoo I have been using the Scooby stamps for a while now. My PO had a good supply of them. I ❤ them. Glad to know they reprinted them. 🤔Probably should get some more just in case. 6y

I see now that the email was in an incorrect order. Glad we caught this in time since I have already mailed my book. Everything should have been listed in the order in which we signed up. The absolute correct order is in the graphic above. Sorry for the confusion.

Laughterhp Okay. Thanks! Sorry for all the confusion! I just wanted to make sure I mailed it out right! Good thing we caught this today. Otherwise it would‘ve been off to the wrong person!! 😊 6y

@jmofo @donnalyy @mreads

mreads Works for me. Oh and I can't spell my name Haha it's just one n , I'm sure I'd get it either way 🤪 6y

Amiable @donnalyy The spreadsheet didn't include your city in it, but I'm guessing from the zip code it's San Diego? 6y

jmofo @Amiable Looks good! @mreads Thanks for the heads up! 👏 6y

First draft of my suggestions for #LMPBC #GroupM. I will tag them in my comments. These are four I happen to own already and that are less than 400 pages. I'm not wedded to any; if none of them pique your interest, I'm happy to do another search! @jmofo @donnalyy @mreads

Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism

donnalyy I vote for The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work, followed by San Francisco is Burning. But haven‘t read any of them and am open to all of them 🙂 6y

Amiable I just noticed that "River of Doubt" is 432 pages --oops! I thought it was less than that. 6y

mreads I'd vote for San Francisco is burning. 6y

jmofo I‘m good with any of the first three! I would like to vote down Kingdom Coming. I‘m a super moody reader and I‘m not sure I‘ll be up for it and my comments might be lacking. 6y

Amiable @jmofo @mreads @donnalyy Let's go with "San Francisco is Burning," then. It's been on my TBR for 5 years now--would love to get it read at last! 6y

mreads @Amiable 😁 6y

jmofo @Amiable That sounds great. I recently listened to a podcast about Chinatown in San Francisco and I‘m curious to read what this book might have to say on the subject. 6y

Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place

donnalyy My first vote is for

Darwin Comes to Town: How the Urban Jungle Drives Evolution

donnalyy And my second vote would be

Riding the Bus with My Sister: A True Life Journey

donnalyy But I haven‘t read any of these and would be happy to do whichever one ☺️ 6y

RamsFan1963 I've only read this one, but it was chilling, heartbreaking and thought provoking.

The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History

Amiable My first vote would be "Sixth Extinction." Second choice would be "Riding the Bus with My Sister." I also haven't read any of them. 6y

jmofo I‘m happy to read any of these! 6y

mreads @Amiable @jmofo @donnalyy checking in to see if we are still doing this? I know life happens Thanks 6y

jmofo @mreads I have mailed off my book (extremely late, so I hope @Amiable and @donnalyy and you have some flexibility and patience for The Collector making the rounds) and I am taking San Francisco book with me on vacation this week. I have gone dark on Litsy lately because, as you say, life, but I‘m still on board. 6y

Amiable @mreads @jmofo @donnalyy I knew there was a bit of a delay with one or two books, but I thought we were basically on track —no? I‘ve completed the San Francisco book and mailed it to Jessie. The “Sixth Extinction” book is also completed and sealed in an envelope waiting to be mailed for May when I return home from vacation this weekend. Did someone not get a book at all? I‘m fine with taking longer than a month to get the book done if needed. 6y

mreads @Amiable @jmofo I've not received a book yet. @donnalyy is to send to me and it seems as if she's not posted for 2 months. Not sure how best to handle ? 6y

Amiable @mreads On her last post ( the one from two months ago) she added a comment two weeks ago that said she was sorry about the delay because of her master‘s thesis. But she also said she was sending the book priority mail “in the next few days.” Not sure if it did go out? Did she have an email addy on the mail spreadsheet? I‘m in Sweden right now and can‘t check! 6y

mreads @Amiable oh ok didn't notice that I can send her an email 6y

Amiable @mreads I‘m pretty sure there were email addys on that spreadsheet that we received with all the mailing addresses. If you still have it and can find it, do you feel comfortable sending Donnalyy an email checking in with her? If not I can do it on Sunday when I get home and can get to the list. 6y

Amiable Oops, we just crossed messages! Ha ha! Let me know if she responds! 🙂 6y

donnalyy @mreads @Amiable @jmofo Hi all! Huge apologies for my absence, I haven‘t finished my book and I‘m wondering if it‘s best to take myself out of this rotation. I would love to send you all some bookish goodies to make up for my radio silence. Please let me know your thoughts! At present moment, I‘m still hard at work on the road to graduation 😩 6y

mreads @donnalyy totally up to you if it's not a good time I'm not in any rush I certainly have plenty to read. I just wasn't sure what was going on. Best of luck on the masters work 😀@Amiable @jmofo 6y

Amiable @donnalyy Do you want to just send the “Kitchen” book along to get it started? I know you haven‘t finished, but since it‘s yours it will come back to you at some point and you can finish at your leisure. Then you can read as much of the others as you can when they get to you. And if after 4-5 weeks or so you can‘t finish (or even start) one, just pop it in the mail! This is supposed to be fun—it‘s not meant to be a burden on anyone! @mreads @jmofo (edited) 6y

jmofo @Amiable @mreads I second Amy‘s sentiment but @donnalyy if it‘s too much at the time, I get that. It‘s way cool when things go according to plan but it is amazing when people can be flexible while taking care of what they need at the same time. 6y

donnalyy Put the Kitchen book in the mail for @mreads today! And I received The Collector @jmofo @Amiable 6y

mreads @donnalyy Thanks! 😀 6y

jmofo Hi! 👋 I‘m crashing your non-fiction party because the only parties I want to go to are ones where non-fiction books are discussed! (Just kidding: I‘m not much a party person.) However, I‘m super glad you started this n-f group! 6y

Amiable @donnalyy @mreads @jmofo Hooray! We have a full crew of nonfiction fans! 6y

jmofo @mreads Welcome! I‘m glad we have a full group! @donnalyy & @Amiable It doesn‘t hurt to start thinking of what books we all want to pick. What are the nonfiction books you want to read? 6y

Amiable @jmofo @donnalyy @mreads I just had new bookcases delivered to my house today and will be able to start unpacking my books tonight! (We moved 6 weeks ago and my books are still in boxes. 😬) I will pull a few suggestions and then post them in the next day or so--ok? 6y

mreads @Amiable @jmofo @donnalyy how do you all feel about memoirs or nonfiction about nature ? 6y

jmofo @Amiable I‘m not sure what I want to bring to the group, I‘ll have to browse my shelves at home after work. @mreads sounds great! 6y

donnalyy @Amiable @jmofo @mreads I love memoirs and I‘m also thinking some narrative nonfiction like @Amiable mentioned. I have Being Mortal by Atul Gawande on its way to me - have y‘all read that or would you be interested in it? Or how about The Man Who Loved Books Too Much? 6y

mreads @donnalyy I've read Being Mortal, it's excellent 6y

donnalyy @mreads Nice! I am happy to pick a book that is new to everyone in the group so we can all experience a new adventure together 6y

Amiable @donnalyy I have also read "Being Mortal" --it's excellent! You will get a lot out of it. 6y

Amiable @mreads I love memoirs and biographies--I'm reading Michelle Obama's "Becoming" right now. 6y

donnalyy @Amiable I‘m waiting for my hold for Becoming from the library! @mreads @jmofo I‘ll figure out some other book choices and post them soon to let you all help me pick (edited) 6y

mreads @donnalyy @jmofo @Amiable I'll look through my books and TBR and send some options too. I'm also waiting for Becoming from the library 😀 6y

I am so fed up with the USPS. I can‘t tell you how many times I have had to deal with late packages. And this one in particular is really annoying because they delivered other mail including another package. 😒😒😒😒

Lovesbooks87 @aroc I read a little bit of everything. I mostly read ya, thrillers, true crime, and romance. But I up to trying anything! I already have a book in mind but wanted to make sure that no one had already read it! (edited) 6y

EH2018 @aroc i too pretty much read anything...not usually a heavy scifi fantasy or harlequinn romancey girl, but for this swap im pretty much open to anything! Last time we each took pics of 4 books we were considering left comments for eachother and picked one from there right @Lovesbooks87 ? 6y

Lovesbooks87 @EH2018 @aroc yep that's what we did to make sure no one had read anything we were thinking about picking and then once we decided what we were going to pick we let everyone know. 6y

@jillannjohn another #lmpbc book has safely made it to me! I haven't read this one either but it's been on my TBR so I'm looking forward to it! And that bookmark is so stinking cute!! 😊

@Betty

TheWordJar Hello! Just wondering if you ever sent that book out! I haven‘t received anything yet, and I‘ve had some packages come in horrible conditions lately, so I just want to make sure a postal machine hasn‘t eaten it or anything! @Betty 6y

InBooksILive @TheWordJar I am sending 2 out tomorrow! I was so close to finishing the 2nd one I have so I figured I'd hurry and finish so I could send them both out together. So you have 2 coming your way! 6y

Betty @InBooksILive are those two books you‘re sending out those two originally sent by me (Stoner) and @jillannjohn (title unknown)? I have your book which I‘ll mail out to @jillannjohn at the end of the month. Not sure who has @TheWordJar ‘s book I received it Aug 17 and mailed it Aug 21. That one was

InBooksILive @Betty @jillannjohn I have Fagrenheit 451! I got a little behind in the reading so I hurried and finished what I had and am almost done with Fahrenheit. Sorry I just seen your comment. Yes, I sent out Stoner and There's Someone Inside Your House. @TheWordJar did you get them? 6y

Betty @TheWordJar are you still in? (Have Stoner and There‘s Someone in Your House?). @jillannjohn mailing off The Good Girl to you today. @InBooksILive finished all the books? Can we keep in touch? 6y

TheWordJar @Betty @jillianjohn So sorry everyone! I‘ve been busy lately, but I‘m still in. Just about done with There‘s Someone In Your House, and I hope to mail it Betty next week. Then next up, Stoner! 6y

TheWordJar @Betty @jillannjohn And I received my book back already! All of your notes are lovely! Thank you, ladies! 6y

InBooksILive @Betty I believe I have read everyone's books! I haven't gotten anymore lately anyway. Everyone picked such great ones. Just waiting to get mine (The Good Girl) back now 😁 6y
