Round14GroupB

pick

This is my #LMPBC #Round14GroupB choice (#botm backlog), and it was excellent. I hate that I waited 2 years to read it, but I love that I get to read my group‘s thoughts.

It‘s the 1970s in oil booming Odessa, Texas, and a 14 year old who has been brutally raped crawls to a farmhouse for help. This is the story of women in town and how they reacted. I will say I love how the author really inhabited and wrote differently for each woman.

@Megabooks @LMJenkins @JamieArc

It looks like we have our lineup. I‘m excited about all of these #botm backlog books, ladies!

JamieArc @Megabooks @thebluestocking @LMJenkins Are we going to pick a different color for annotating/highlighting? 2y

Megabooks @JamieArc I am left handed and have few pens that don‘t leave marks when I rub. I think I have a blue one that will work. I‘m fine with different handwritings (and whatever color) or different colors. @thebluestocking @LMJenkins 2y

JamieArc @Megabooks Hey fellow lefty ✋🏼. Sounds good! My handwriting is pretty distinct. 2y

Megabooks @JamieArc lefties of the world unite! 😁😁 2y

LMJenkins Looking forward to this! ⭐️ 2y

thebluestocking @JamieArc @Megabooks @LMJenkins Sorry I‘ve been MIA. I‘ll pick a color other than blue! 💙 2y

Malibu Rising (June 2021)
Leave the World Behind (October 2020)
Beautiful Country (September 2021)
Harlem Shuffle (October 2021)

I tried to keep these relatively short. I have a few doorstoppers in my backlog (The Lincoln Highway, The Hearts Invisible Furies, The Fountains of Silence) if anyone would prefer those!

Let me know which of these you guys would like to read the most!

#LMPBC #Round14GroupB @Megabooks @JamieArc @LMJenkins

Megabooks I vote leave the world behind 👍🏻 but I‘d be okay with any of them except beautiful country which I read and hated. (edited) 2y

JamieArc I have read Malibu Rising. My vote is also for Leave the World Behind. 2y

kellyann28 I'm not apart of this group but just wanted to say thanks for this amazing idea. I was sad this group was full so I created another one. ❤ 2y

thebluestocking @Megabooks Ha! I may just donate Beautiful Country. It hasn‘t spoken to me since I picked it. 2y

thebluestocking @kellyann28 It is such a great idea. I had a different group started, but when I saw this one, I had to join! 2y

Megabooks It went into the library sale pile right after I finished it! 😂 2y

LMJenkins I have read Malibu Rising and Leave the World Behind, but I wouldn‘t mind reading them again. Any one of the four is good to me. 2y

thebluestocking @LMJenkins @JamieArc @Megabooks Hmm…looks like by process of elimination, we‘re at Harlem Shuffle unless you want to put one of the longer books in play. (I have fewer backlog books than I thought.) 2y

LMJenkins @thebluestocking Your call, 💯! I‘ve heard great things about Harlem Shuffle. I‘ve never been drawn to it, but that means nothing….sometimes those end up being the best. 2y

Megabooks @thebluestocking I tried the audio on HS and didn‘t like the narrator, so I‘d be cool with trying it in print! 👍🏻 2y

JamieArc @thebluestocking I‘m good with it! That author has intimidated me for a while, but reading it with others makes it not so intimidating! 2y

thebluestocking @JamieArc @Megabooks @LMJenkins Okay, Harlem Shuffle it is! 2y
