Repost for @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks :
Coming 2020!! We will have a slight change to the way we currently do our #BotmBuddyRead!! We will still read ONE BOOK A MONTH; sometimes it may not be BOTM selections. This will allow us to read a wider variety of books currently unavailable through BOTM! There are so many awesome books being and we will now have more options!! 📚💗

We are super excited about this! We hope you will be too!!

Thoughts?!

JaclynW I'm good with this! Good books = good books (no matter where they come from). 🙂 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @JaclynW exactly!!! 💗🙌🏻 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thank you for reposting!! 😘 6y

Andrew65 Given one or two of our #BOTMBuddyReads recently I think this is a good decision. Some haven‘t been up to the quality of others recently. @TheBookHippie @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 6y

So much #heartache in my #BOTM! This is an engaging book from its very first pages! Told from Sylvie‘s perspective, she was only 14 when her sister Persephone disappeared- and now at 30, she has returned to her CT home and begins digging into the past... some of the plot is easier to see coming than others, but I couldn‘t tear myself away from this one! #LiteraryLove

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I ordered this one too!! 6y

TorieStorieS @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Oh- I hope you like it as much as I did! Since joining BOTM (totally a #BlameItOnLitsy membership!!), I have made it a goal to read at least my pick of the month within the month! The extras, I give myself a little extra time to get to! 😊 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TorieStorieS join some of our #BotmBuddyReads!! 6y

One of my favourite books this year, simply loved this story and it ending up having far more depth than I expected during the early part of the book. Think I have found a new favourite author. Not read it? What are you waiting for?
Also love this cover!

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks, emilyrose_x

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘m so happy you love her!!! I sure do!!! ❤️❤️ 6y

Andrew65 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Don‘t think we should be surprised we both love her! Our tastes seem very similar looking at the #BOTMBuddyReads 😍😍😍 (edited) 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Andrew65 you are so right!! 💞💞 6y

BooknerdsLife Happy reading! One of my favorite books this year! 💕 6y

EadieB I have this on hold too! 6y

Andrew65 @BooknerdsLife That‘s what I keep hearing so looking forward to it. 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB I was surprised that my library didn‘t have this but bought the ebook. (edited) 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 Someone will definitely ask them to purchase it soon! 6y

AlaMich It‘s sooo good!! You guys will love it! And it is superb on audio; the narrator is outstanding. 6y

BooknerdsLife @Andrew65 Can't wait to hear what you think of it too 😃❤️ 6y

Crazeedi @Andrew65 I tried my library and overdrive, no book at my small library, overdrive 12 plus weeks🤨 so I bought, I wanted physical copy. I'm stoked! 6y

Andrew65 @AlaMich Great to hear! 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB They seem to have very few of the #BOTMBuddyReads 6y

Andrew65 @BooknerdsLife Will let you know. 6y

Andrew65 @Crazeedi I have the same problem with the #BOTMBuddyReads. My libraries are very behind the times with modern popular fiction. 6y

EadieB @andrew65 that‘s really deplorable! 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB They don‘t seem very up on modern fiction and keeping up with trends, other than favourite series. Not helped by budget cuts. One librarian recently hadn‘t even heard of Daphne Du Maurier! Can be very frustrating especially when you recommend ebooks that are highly rated which they ignore and they buy whole swathes of series that are second rate or smutty Romance Books. (edited) 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 That is definitely frustrating! 6y

TheBookHippie I'm ready!!!! 6y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie Hope you‘re feeling better. 😍 6y

Crazeedi @Andrew65 I've turned on my library to maisel Dobbs series, Charles Todd's bess Crawford and Rutledge series and a few other newer books too. Did this by donating my books and they put in circulation. I will continue to give them books I think will reach a wider audience, and they can put others in their used book sale! 6y

Andrew65 @Crazeedi What a great idea! Some great series there too. 6y

Crazeedi @andrew65 I loved maisie earlier books, love all insp. Rutledge book, and I liked the first couple bess Crawford, then meh 6y

Andrew65 @Crazeedi Maisie is one of my favourite series and want to get to the others. Just too many series on the go. 😳 6y

Pamwurtzler I‘ll give it a try. I‘ve been wanting to read this . . . 6y

Andrew65 @Pamwurtzler Yey! Be great to have you join us. 😊 6y

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 we've had whooping cough, chicken pox, stomach flu, nasty strep throats at school thankfully I got the short lived stomach flu 😷🤢 blech ...son got a sprained wrist grand baby a nasty virus and high fevers and poor hubby came home to all this sick himself with a bad cold after being gone a week 🙄😭😭😭 #hotmess (edited) 6y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie What a terrible time you‘ve had! Hope you are all recovering now. Had some of those same things at school recently, but clear,y not to the same extent. Keep building up your strength and rest! 😳 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Jen_is_always_reading 👍🏻🙌🏻👍🏻🙌🏻 6y

Andrew65 @Lola @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I was thinking the same thing, many of these look as though they could make great #BOTMBuddyReads if they make the cut! Already read together, and loved,

The Broken Girls

Lola @Andrew65 The Magic Eight Ball (and Internet spoilers) say Yes to Kate Morton being an Oct option 🙃 6y

Andrew65 @Lola 😂🤫🤫🤫🤫 6y

Eggs All of them look wonderful 🌺 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs I agree!! 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Andrew65 I just compiled that list!!! I will post soon!! 💛 6y

Andrew65 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 😘 😊😊 6y

JaclynW I've read Next Year in Havana and The Broken Girls. I loved both of them. 6y

SilversReviews Yes...I have read them all and LOVED them all. THE CLOCKMAKER‘S DAUGHTER takes a bit to get into, but Kate Morton is the BEST. It is worth the wait. ENJOY...they are all reviewed on my blog except Kate‘s book if you want to take a look. THE CLOCKMAKER‘S DAUGHTER will be reviewed in October. 6y

Doing well - I‘ve not gone near my copy of the book ahead of the #botmbuddyreads in May. But it‘s hard to stay away from good press! Great article by Fiona Maazel in #Bookforum

Bkwurm Thanks for sharing this. I have this book on my list to read when it comes in my @Powells #Indiespensible box and I can't wait to get started! Maazel's review just made me want it more! 7y
