BookishMarginalia Well… I‘m going to say the In Death series — who doesn‘t love Eve and Roarke, Leonardo and Mavis, Peabody and McNabb…. 3w

TheBookHippie Ummmmmm 😅🫣🤷🏻‍♀️ not my genre. 3w

TheBookgeekFrau Not really a romance, but a damn good love story

Karisa Life with Picasso was written by his longtime lover, Francoise Gilot who was 40 years his junior and suffered his abuse. Also read the Epstein survivor‘s book and 1984… Maybe the opposite of romantic has been my reading theme this year 😂 3w

xicanti I just finished a book where the prince of Christmas and the prince of St Patrick‘s Day fell in love, and it was mostly a little tediously silly but then it got pretty good near the end. Enough so I‘ll probably read the next in the series, where I assume the princess of Easter falls in love with someone. 🤷‍♀️ 3w

Cupcake12 In November I read ‘All wrapped up‘ by Heidi Swan. It was based around a pumpkin festival so a perfect theme for the time of year. I loved the two main characters and would love it to be made into a movie. 3w

julesG @RaeLovesToRead shared the advent calendar prompt on WhatsApp last night. You should team up. 😉 Last finished romance was Christmas Fling. My current fantasy ARC has a romance subplot

Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die

RaeLovesToRead I'm currently reading Get a Life, Chloe Brown, so probably that! Not really my genre though 😅 3w

PurpleyPumpkin I‘m not a huge romance fan, but I‘ve actually read a couple on this bookshelf! 3w

Deblovestoread I‘m currently listening to this one. Not my usual genre but funny and spicy.

The Nightmare Before Kissmas

LeafingThroughLife I‘m not a huge romance reader, but this year I loved the romance in

Thank You for Listening

BookishMarginalia I used to read the #OprahBookClub picks once upon a time. Now I dabble in different picks as the mood strikes. My fave book club read this year is from my Monday book club:

Flourishing Kin: Indigenous Wisdom for Collective Well-Being

RaeLovesToRead I've only just heard about the Audacious book club and now I am excited! 🥰 3w

lil1inblue @RaeLovesToRead Tell me more.... 🤓 3w

RaeLovesToRead @lil1inblue It's Roxane Gay's book club! 3w

lil1inblue I read so many good books this year; it's hard to pick. But this is one that I wish I had read with a group, because it was soooo good:

Now in November

AmyG No clue what book that is. I used to read Oprah‘s, too. Now I find that I am wnjoying some of Jenna Bush‘s books. 3w

lil1inblue @RaeLovesToRead OMG, now I'm excited, too! *runs to google* 3w

dabbe What a fun game! I enjoyed finishing the #noplacelikeholmes buddy read where we read the whole canon. I also enjoyed finished the #shardlakebr where we read all the Matthew Shardlake books by C.J. Sansom. And I loved all the books we read this year with the #hashtagbrigade, led by the invincible @BarkingMadRead. 🩵☃️🩶 3w

TheBookHippie @RaeLovesToRead oh I‘m so in for this. 3w

TheBookHippie I have tried IRL Bookclub 😵‍💫🫣 they don‘t read the book and get together to bash their partners and I want no part of that. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 back in the day I would check out Oprah but it‘s been a long long long time. My favourite “bookclub” is my #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD and I think our November book was my favorite

Life with Picasso

(edited) 3w

TheBookgeekFrau I read Flowers for Algernon for an IRL bookclub. Haven't followed a celebrity book club since the OG Oprah one. I have to say I kind of resent those book club seals on book covers; they interfere with the esthetic 😤 As for the trivia question yeah, no clue 😂 3w

Karisa @TheBookHippie That was my experience too! So awkward showing up as the only one that wanted to talk about the book. 🤓😂🤣 3w

Karisa I‘ve read so many great ones this year with Litsy people! Life with Picasso, 1984, Fearless, Woodworking, Wild Dark Shore, and The Death of the Author are some that first come to mind. Always a great discussion with the book groups on Litsy! 🥰💗🥰💗 3w

TheBookHippie @Karisa SOLIDARITY. 3w

lil1inblue @karisa @TheBookHippie I'm glad I'm not alone in my IRL book club experience. ? Not only do they not read or discuss the book, but it always ends up being a book I'm meh about reading. I much prefer litsy "clubs". ? 3w

TheBookHippie @lil1inblue THAT TOO!! 3w

Karisa @lil1inblue 🎯 🥰 3w

WanderingBookaneer @TheBookHippie and @Karisa : I run a book club, Books on Tap, that meets at a local brewery. We don‘t have assigned books. People just share what they read during the past month. Some of us bring books to hand out after we‘ve read them. 3w

TheBookHippie @WanderingBookaneer I want to join. ♥️ 3w

Karisa @WanderingBookaneer That‘s the way to do it! 😊🥰 3w

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick The tagged is probably the best of book club fiction that I read this year. I don't really follow many of the celebrity ones. If I happen to choose one they've selected, great, but I tend to like things a little weird and they're usually very standard books.

Migrations: A Novel

Cupcake12 I loved reading this book club read. I don‘t normally like historical reads but this captured my heart from the start. I dolly the Happy Place Book club by Fearne Cotton - a tv presenter, podcaster in the UK.

The Air Raid Book Club: A Novel

tpixie @WanderingBookaneer that‘s a cool 😎 sounding Bookclub!! 3w

tpixie I generally don‘t read celebrity book club books although I did just love Sarah Jessica Parker‘s imprint book I Am You that a few of my recent post about. My in real life Bookclub also doesn‘t stand focus or go as in depth because I would like to go with a Bookclub, but I‘ve continued because it‘s the only social thing I do each month. I get much more out of my #LitsyBuddyReads and @litsybookclub books. 3w

LeafingThroughLife I used to follow Oprah‘s Book Club pretty closely, but lately I think I, probably unwittingly, am following Reese‘s Book Club with more success. This year, I loved

The Phoenix Pencil Company: A Novel
