FantasticStrangelingsBookClub

When you bet &… WIN!

I was fairly confident that the #FantasticStrangelingsBookClub pick for May would be The Hacienda, but I didn‘t know. For some reason she‘s been announcing late in the month lately…

I‘d prefer to give an independent bookseller my $$ for the monthly book, but sometimes I “have to” pick my #BOTM first & it ends up being the same. So I “bet” this month, chose my BOTM, & held off on Hacienda… Voilà! It paid off. ???♥️

Avanders The club? Here you go: https://www.nowherebookshop.com/fantastic-strangelings-book-club 3y

BookwormAHN Nice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 3y

Linsy You know Jenny well! I just got mine from her and cannot wait to read!!! 3y

Avanders @Linsy me tooooo! And I don‘t know if I know her well… she hinted at countries for her March, April, and May picks… and I got lucky 😜 I don‘t know why she doesn‘t do more hints! 😁😁 3y

The Hacienda | Isabel Ca�as

Decided I was okay getting my box delayed by picking Book of Night. Not like I‘m going to read them any time soon.

#BOTM

Avanders Man do I want The Hacienda too… but I‘m ….95% sure it‘s going to be the #fantasticstrangelingsbookclub pick for May so… held off! 🫢🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 3y

Kimberlone I picked the same two! My box is always late so an extra couple days is no big deal for me. 3y

Laughterhp @Avanders I do not know what this book club is, but I‘m intrigued! 3y

The Change: A Novel | Kirsten Miller

I admit I considered skipping this month and getting The Hacienda from the library but The Change seemed to good to pass up. What did everyone else pick from #BOTM for May?

TEArificbooks I love the concept of The Change too 3y

Kimberlone I picked The Hacienda 3y

Laughterhp I picked Hacienda too! 3y

Mrs. March: A Novel | Virginia Feito

Since I met my Goodreads goal early, I decided to read 12 #BOTM #bookofthemonth books — I wanted to see what my resistance was, if I could 😜 (I suspect it has something to do with my lifelong resistance to reading-what-I‘m-told yo read 🤭). I‘m 5 books into that… but when this book arrived from #FantasticStrangelings #fantasticstrangelingsbookclub yesterday, I simply couldn‘t resist. Loving it so far…..

I did a splurge and joined #fantasticstrangelings book club from Nowhere Bookshop. This is my first shipment and it sounds right up my alley! I‘ll be reading the non linear story line and comparing notes with @Soubhiville at some point. Fun times ahead, hopefully! #bookhaul #fantasticstrangelingsbookclub

Soubhiville Yay! 4y

TK421 I'm going to have to read this. Also, at first glance I read the hashtag as fantastic strangling. 😁 4y

BookNAround Let me know how you and @Soubhiville like it. I have an ARC I‘ve never gotten around to reading! 4y

Soubhiville @BookNAround I‘m about 3/4 through and it‘s strange but I do like it. I‘m so intrigued about the other reading order... 4y

LilMrmd79 I splurged too last month through Fantastic Strangelings and said I would cancel. But I didn‘t. And now I‘m not so sure I will since she just listed all the perks with her upcoming book next year. 🤷‍♀️ Guess I‘ll just have to stay in the club. How are you going to read this book - straight through or Baroness? 4y

Life has continued to be... INSANELY HARD!!! My mom was just diagnosed w final stages incurable cancer. As of now, it‘s a big hope that she makes it to Christmas... So I‘m busy, distracted, sad, angry, and all kinds of other confusing emotions.

Meanwhile, I‘m trying to find joy in little things like: The #FantasticStrangelingsBookClub and our new book for the month... has anyone read this? Which way should I read it first?!

Follow Me To Ground | Sue Rainsford

pick

This book is strange. I woke up the morning after I finished it and thought about it, realizing I did not grasp the ending and went back to reread it. Now I get it. A dark and magical book. Slight, as books go, but a heavy story. Magic, incest, a touch of horror. Simply gorgeous cover. #fantasticstrangelingsbookclub
