Hey #lmpbc #groupk #round10! I‘m really looking forward to this round of reading with you. I‘m thinking of one of these for our group... any thoughts? (I‘m also thinking of hate-reading Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer but.... not wanting to put anyone off with that). What do you think?

AmberWB, EH2018, Tattooedteacher

Sarahreadstoomuch Shoot - adding this book into the list too:

The Extraordinaries

EH2018 So many good choices! I read Scythe, and am interested in The library of lost things and Internment but I am open to any! 4y

AmberWB I‘ve read Scythe as well and am also interested in The Library of Lost Things Internment. 😊 4y

Sarahreadstoomuch @EH2018 @AmberWB @Tattooedteacher my copy of Internment is an ARC... is that okay with you? Otherwise I‘ll go buy a new copy of Library of Lost Things. I‘m fine either way... 4y

AmberWB I am always good with ARCs! 4y

EH2018 Im good with arcs too! 4y

Tattooedteacher Ok. Just catching up. I signed up for this but I have no idea how it works. Can someone explain? I‘ll catch up. What‘s an ARC? 3y

Tattooedteacher So I see I‘m almost 2 books behind. I failed on this one. So I can forward the book from 3y

Sarahreadstoomuch @Tattooedteacher no problem! And ARC is an Advanced Reading Copy meaning it could be a little different from the finished copy you can buy in the store. Usually very minor like typos. 3y

Sarahreadstoomuch @Tattooedteacher and I don‘t see why you can‘t forward a book on, or just send a book to the person below you in the email with the addresses... it‘s your book, so you get it back last and can read it then. That might be fun anyway! 3y

Tattooedteacher @Sarahreadstoomuch so would it be best if I drop out and forward the book from @AmberWB to the next person? 3y

Tattooedteacher Ok. I‘ll jump in and send a book to the next person. Do I choose the book? Thanks for your help 3y

Sarahreadstoomuch @Tattooedteacher yeah, the book of your choice you can send to the next person. (@eh2018) Then this month you read and write notes in the book that was mailed to you from @amberwb 3y

Sarahreadstoomuch @Tattooedteacher And then we‘ll be a little behind, but it doesn‘t bother me. The mail is all wonky slow right now anyway. Agreed @AmberWB and @EH2018 ? (edited) 3y

Sarahreadstoomuch @Tattooedteacher does that make sense? 3y

EH2018 Sounds good to me @Sarahreadstoomuch @Tattooedteacher @AmberWB 3y

AmberWB Sounds good to me! I have not gotten a book in the mail yet, FYI. @Tattooedteacher @EH2018 @Sarahreadstoomuch 3y

Sarahreadstoomuch I haven‘t received a book yet either, and I definitely mailed one out nearly 2 weeks ago! I‘ll see if I can find the tracking number. I think mail is super slow right now though... @Tattooedteacher @EH2018 @AmberWB 3y

Tattooedteacher Think I‘m sending either the book thief or finding Layla. Any preference. @AmberWB @Sarahreadstoomuch @EH2018 3y

Sarahreadstoomuch @Tattooedteacher I don‘t know Finding Layla, so that would be fun, and even though I‘ve read The Book Thief - it‘s SO GOOD it deserves a reread and would be interesting to see everyone‘s thoughts through the book! So the long way to say - either! Lol 3y

EH2018 @Tattooedteacher interested in Finding Layla! Read The Book Thief already, really good tho if you haven't read it 3y

Hi there! Just thought I‘d send out a quick note to you all! I‘m looking forward to this LMPBC. This is my third time and I‘ve enjoyed it so much so far!! I‘m curious to learn if any of you have selected your books yet? I‘m still in the pondering stage... #LMPBC #Round4

suvata, hoggman, jessinikkip, Book_Lust

hoggman I noticed a lot of people saying they like memoirs, so I chose notes on a banana, by david leite! 5y

Readergrrl @hoggman I must admit that I haven‘t heard of this memoir. I am quite intrigued! I noticed that we all mentioned horror too. I was considering The Reapers are the Angels by Alden Bell. It‘s one of my favorite literary (really!!) zombie novels. But it is a reread for me and my TBR pile is out of control so I may pick something new to me. Still deciding!! 5y

CouronneDhiver I‘ve done all the rounds so far... my groups have all chosen to keep the titles secret - makes it an extra fun surprise. 5y

hoggman I decided to go for a reread bc I'm reading a lot of different things this month. And I like to choose memoirs based on subject, not on who the person is. I find a lot of neat stuff that way. I first listened to this on audiobook about a year ago and have been meaning to go through a physical copy. And cool, I'm down for zombies! 5y

hoggman Ooh @CouronneDhiver that's so fun! 5y

jessinikkip Sorry I am so late, I worked all day today! I am still deciding really, I want to do Dorothy Must Die, but would everyone like that?

Dorothy Must Die

Book_Lust Dorothy Must Die looks fun! 5y

Book_Lust I have five different kinda multicultural memoirs I‘m torn between. I‘ll share a pic and maybe y‘all can help me choose. 5y

Book_Lust Noted on a Banana has been on my tbr for a while now! 😊 5y

Book_Lust @hoggman @jessinikkip @CouronneDhiver @Readergrrl Hey guys! getting ready to send my book and so excited! 😊 this is my first lmpbc swap and I‘m not sure... do I send to the person below me or above me on the list? 5y

jessinikkip @Book_Lust the peraon below you. Unless you are last on the list, then you would send to who is first 5y

Book_Lust @jessinikkip @hoggman @CouronneDhiver @Readergrrl Happy December! Has everyone received their lmpbc book? I passed mine on but still haven‘t received the next one yet. 5y

Readergrrl Hi All! I have huge amounts of egg on my face! I have not sent my book out yet! Clearly I have lost my mind as I finished before Thanksgiving!!! I completely thought I had mailed it, but I think I got myself mixed up with my stuffed sticking swap! I will get it in the mail tomorrow! @Book_Lust @hoggman @jessinkkip 5y

Readergrrl @hoggman @jessinikkip @Book_Lust Hey, LMPBCers! Just wondering how everyone is doing? I know it‘s almost the ides of January, but I‘m just finishing my January book now!! I‘m sorry but it‘s been crazy busy! I will have What Alice Knew in the mail by Tuesday (1/16) and NO later! Pinkie swear! 5y

jessinikkip Its been an insane couple of months here. In December I got to send the book out super early this month Im super late. A surprise $500 bill kinda took it out of us :( 5y

Readergrrl No worries here!!! Our cellar flooded because the sump pump decided to take a hiatus and of course it‘s end of quarter and midterm season in teacher-world so reading for pleasure has become nonexistent!!! 5y

Book_Lust I sent out my original book on time in November, but never received a book in December, so I have nothing to pass on 😢 Sorry! 5y

Book_Lust @hoggman basically fell off the grid I think, I haven‘t been able to successfully contact him and he hasn‘t been active on Litsy in 2 months. I‘m wondering if we should count him out of the loop? Otherwise all books will be stuck with him and I‘ll never get one 🙁 (edited) 5y

Readergrrl Okay, executive decision time! I have @jessinikkip ‘s book, What Alice Knew. I‘m late sending it out as it is, so I will not send to Hoggman and will instead send to you @Book_Lust. How does that sound? @hoggman -if you‘re here, please come back! We‘d love to re-include you! Besides, you have my Where the Crawdads Sing and I‘m pretty sure everyone here will enjoy it too! Let‘s get back in the swing of things. No hard feelings! 💩 happens!! 😊 5y

Readergrrl BTW @Book_Lust which book did you eventually select? I was curious about the titles you were thinking about. 5y

jessinikkip I can stand by that decision @Readergrrl if no one can get ahold of him. I plan to go to the post office tomorrow to mail The Spirit Catches You so that will get that one back in the loop. And yall take as long as yall need with Alice, Im not in a huge rush to get it back, just excited to see the marks in it when it comes home lol 5y

Book_Lust All sounds good to me! @Readergrrl I went with The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, and it was a good choice, I loved it! 5y

Readergrrl @Book_Lust @jessinikkip Hi, #LMPBC peeps! Just finished both of your books and getting ready to send them on to you @Book_Lust , but I have a conundrum. In tonight‘s mail, I received my book I sent to @hoggman as “unclaimed/return to sender.” Do you want me to send it on too? It was Where the Crawdads Sing. That means BLust would get 3 all at once. Would you rather I send it to you, JKip? I have really enjoyed both of your books!! 5y

Readergrrl BTW, I just want to say that I‘m concerned for @hoggman. Maybe he moved? 😟 5y

jessinikkip @Readergrrl that is up to you and @Book_Lust if they want all 3 at once or what. I would like to get to read your book so dont leave me out guys! Just yall decide what wirks best for yall 5y

Readergrrl @jessinikkip I will send Crawdad to you and the others to @Book_Lust 5y

Readergrrl @jessinikkip Alice was your book, correct? And Spirit belonged to @Book_Lust? 5y

jessinikkip Yes @Readergrrl Alice is mine and yall take your time with it. And that works for me :) 5y

Book_Lust Whatever works :) can‘t wait to get reading! 📚😊 5y

Another day, another #thriftstorefind ! I couldn‘t pass this up for $0.50 🤷🏻‍♀️ #whoopstheregoesmybookbuyingban

PenguinInFlight For 50 cents, it barely counts as breaking the ban. 😉🤞🏻 6y

Clwojick @PenguinInFlight I‘ll keep that in mind when I go to the huge book sale my library is hosting this weekend. 😂😂😂 6y

PenguinInFlight @Clwojick #justsaying 😂😂💜 (I seriously have ZERO self control at library book sales.) 6y

Clwojick @PenguinInFlight same... or literally any book sales. ♥️😂😅 6y
