It‘s my turn to pick our book club read and I can‘t decide between American Gods by Neil Gaiman and Sacred Treason by James Forrester.

I have a bunch of books that I want to read next month so I have created a page in my bullet journal to help me keep track 📖
The House in the Cerulean Sea finally became available on Libby ‼️ and there are a ton of people waiting so I want to finish before it's due back.
Also excited for The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, which is my friend group's first book club pick of the year 😍

Cinfhen Nope @Librariana @riversong153 @BarbaraBB But I‘m super excited to read that one!!! 7y
TrishB I think the SK? 7y
Kalalalatja But the SK is a chunkster, right @TrishB ? So it couldn‘t be that one 😄 7y
merelybookish Weight of Ink? 7y
KarenUK I‘m thinking it‘s A place for us....? (edited) 7y
Cinfhen Another book I‘m looking forward to @merelybookish but NOT the one I recommended 7y
Cinfhen The lovely @TrishB has guessed correctly 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻and it‘s 870 pages @Kalalalatja ❣️❣️❣️❣️ 7y
Cinfhen The two I‘m not excited for are the Fitzgerald and 7y
Cinfhen Thanks for all the guesses 💕 7y
merelybookish I wouldn't be excited about Fitzgerald either. 😒 7y
Cinfhen The person who suggested the Fitzgerald also suggested tonight‘s book choice @merelybookish so I‘m already weary of her picks 😫 7y
TrishB It will fly by! I think it‘s a really easy read. But I love SK that much that I find it hard to offer anything independent- I‘m always grateful for another book! I haven‘t read that Fitzgerald so can‘t comment. 7y
TrishB A Place for Us sounds good 👍🏻 and The Weight of Ink - that title is awesome! 7y
ephemeralwaltz The SK is so good. It is easy @TrishB I couldn't stop reading!! 7y
Leftcoastzen Love the King, but I love all Fitzgeralds. 7y
Zelma What was the book you bailed on? 7y
LeahBergen I KNOW it‘s the Kadish. 😘 7y
LeahBergen Wait, what?? 😂😂 7y
Cinfhen @Zelma the bailed book was beyond horrible 7y
Cinfhen Hahaha @LeahBergen but I‘m all for the Kadish book!!! I‘ve been wanting to read the King forever and summer seemed like the perfect time to do it @Leftcoastzen @ephemeralwaltz @TrishB I‘m actually pretty pleased with the first 6 books selected 🤞🏼🤞🏼 7y
Reviewsbylola I would have guessed The Weight of Ink! You better love 11/22/63!!! One of my favorite books ever. Except I feel like you‘re never #teamsteph so 😬🤞🏻😬🤞🏻 7y
Cinfhen I totally have 11.22.63 on my list from you @Reviewsbylola and the fact that the ladies agreed to read King makes me soooo happy!! Turns out they all LOVED your other choice...so I guess we were all #TeamSteph on that pick (edited) 7y

This was a slow start for me, but I was intrigued enough to continue. Once I was around halfway through, I couldn't put it down and stayed up tonight to finish. Definitely recommend. 8/10 #bookclubpicks

I 😄, I 😭 and I 😞 (cringed) some-at the writing.

While the writing isn't great, the message is a very important & impactful one.
Whether you've found yourself in a similar situation (I truly hope not), or know of someone who is/has been, there's no escaping the slew of profound & conflicting emotions this book inflicts on it's readers. Even more so, after reading the special 'Author's Note' at the end. 💔

mrsthilkey I read this last month and almost gave it one star for bad writing and cliché characters and situations. I ended up giving it 3 stars because it does deal with a super important subject. I'll bet it made for a great book club discussion! 8y
MarticaMustRead I totally feel you @mrsthilkey and absolutely agree about the cliches and the writing. I struggled about giving this a high rating, (initially thought 2.5 at most) but in the end, its emotional impact, the fact that i did stay up till 2am finishing it plus the important subject matter sorta won me over lol. But will I read another of her books? Probably not. Our meeting for this book is next Friday, it def should be a good one! 8y
mrsthilkey @MarticaMustRead It's true, I couldn't put it down! 8y

My book club meeting is coming up in under 2 weeks so I decided to a get a start on it over dinner at a new local latin spot down the street from work tonight.
Their Lomo Saltado did NOT disappoint...and so far, neither is this book.
It's my 1st by this author but have heard great things about this particular title & that it makes for great book club discussions.

Reviewsbylola Yum!! 😍 8y
CoffeeBooksRepeat Looks delish! 8y
A_planNerd Favorite book this year. 8y
