The Book Haters' Book Club | Gretchen Anthony

I love days where my only real goal is to finish a book. I loved a lot of the characters in this story, but found it a little predictable. Looking forward to reading Women Talking next, for #litsymarkuppostalbookclub# @BookishPiper @lynneamch @shellleigh33

Looking forward to starting round 17 of #litsymarkuppostalbookclub with all of you! Do any of these sound good to all of you? I‘ve got around 60 books on my shelf, so there are plenty of others to choose from. Just figured I‘d start here. @shellleigh33 @lynneamch and @BookishPiper

BookishPiper I think The Book Haters Book Club would be good. I recently read Devil in the White City and it was very good also. 13mo
shellleigh33 I have not read any so I am good with any of them. 13mo
lynneamch Book Haters Club is good for me. I've read Devil and Mrs. Tom Thumb, though wouldn't mind reading again if you want. 13mo
smalldogs_bigbooks2419 Book Haters Club it is then! I love it when decisions can be made that easily 👍🏻👍🏻 13mo
wojo Erik Larson is a great author, Isaac‘s Storm was an excellent read. 12mo

YA just isn‘t my thing. I tried because it was for the #litsymarkuppostalbookclub. This is the second book in the club that I haven‘t really loved. The first was my own, so I felt like I had to finish it. Starting the third today, and hoping to enjoy it more. @vonnie862 @Bookwormjillk @suvata

suvata It‘s okay to bail. Not every book is for every reader! 1y
Bookwormjillk I think the 3rd is my book. The pressure 😂 1y
smalldogs_bigbooks2419 @Bookwormjillk I‘ve only read the first chapter and already hate Ram. Sometimes things like that are enough to keep me interested in a story. 😂 1y

@mom_of_4 @Bookwormjillk @vonnie862 I‘m really looking forward to my second round of #litsymarkuppostalbookclub #round16 #groupC Would either of these work for all of us? I‘ve definitely got several more options. Just wanted to see if either of these would work before taking a bunch more out.

mom_of_4 Yes either one 1y
vonnie862 Either book works for me 1y
smalldogs_bigbooks2419 @suvata how about you? One of these or should I find another? 1y

suvata @smalldogs_bigbooks2419 Either one is good for me. And, they both sound good. So you get to pick. 1y
Bookwormjillk They both sound good to me too! 1y
suvata @Bookwormjillk I‘ve never read anything by Abbi Waxman so, that might be fun. (edited) 1y
smalldogs_bigbooks2419 Alright. If everyone else is fine with either, I‘m going to go with Adult Assembly Required. (edited) 1y
smalldogs_bigbooks2419 I‘ve only read one of her other books. The Bookish Life of Nina Hill. I think I have all of her books though. 1y

MaleficentBookDragon I just signed up for your group! I love me some cozies. 2y
MaleficentBookDragon I have not read any of these so I'm game. If I had to choose, my first choice would be 2y
julieclair Yay!! Welcome to #LMPBC Round 15 #GroupM, @MaleficentBookDragon and @Avanders ! @Kdgordon88 and I were thinking this group wasn‘t going to happen. SO glad y‘all signed up and brought us back from the dead, lol! Let‘s read us some cozies! @suvata 2y
Avanders Thank you!! As I said to Chelle, please just let me know what‘s expected of me this round ☺️ As for your choices, they all look fun! I have read Murder is Binding and enjoyed it - I‘m ok w a re-read 😁 2y
julieclair @Avanders Last quarter (Round 14) was my first time doing a #LMPBC, so I don‘t have a lot of experience. I guess my expectations would just be the basic rules: read and mark up the book with our thoughts, and do our best to mail it to the next person on time. @Kdgordon88 and @MaleficentBookDragon , any thoughts? 2y
Deblovestoread I‘ve read Murder is Binding. The rest look fun but if I had to choose one I‘d go with 2y

Diverse characters, a fun location, and a puzzling mystery have me declaring this book A Perfect Escape.

A lost 400-year-old garden, filled with statues, set in a thick and verdant forest, that harbors clues to an ancient and mysterious puzzle? Yes, please!! Endearing characters, a bit of magic, and the perils of a wartime setting? Even better!

Thanks, @Readergrrl , for this fabulous pick for #LMPBC Round 14 #GroupO.

@sprainedbrain @BookBosomed1 @suvata #LitsyMarkupPostalBookClub #MagicalRealism

BookBosomed1 Oooooo. The tagged book sounds great. I‘m trying to finish a Murmur of Bees this week. It‘s a hefty book and so interesting! I hope to send it to @Readergrrl next week. (edited) 2y
sprainedbrain This sounds great! Looking forward to it. 2y

I don‘t want to oversell this...but I don‘t think I *could* oversell it. It‘s kind-of like if “Anne of Green Gables” went horribly, horribly wrong. @MirrorMask you‘re in for a treat (& I don‘t just mean the chocolate). I‘m planning to mail it out to you sometime this week! I‘ll tag you when I do.

MirrorMask I'm really excited to read this now. 5y
monalyisha @MirrorMask I keep forgetting to grab this on my way to work so I can mail it on my lunch break. Hoping to remember tomorrow! 🤦‍♀️ 5y
TheLibrarian @monalyisha The next book got mailed this past Monday so hopefully you‘ll get it soon! 5y
monalyisha Hi @TheLibrarian! I just got it a day or maybe two days ago. Thank you! I‘ve been so busy/sleep-deprived from my whirlwind Colorado visit that I forgot to post! 5y
TheLibrarian @monalyisha No worries and so glad you got it! They asked for an apt number so I was worried it wouldn‘t arrive. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 5y
monalyisha @TheLibrarian Technically, I guess we‘re 2S but we never use the apt #/it‘s not even on our licenses. 5y

@Pogue @MeesesPieces @Sharpeipup
Hey!! Now how do we want to do this?? Do we want our choices to be surprises or do you guys want to let each other know what book we're picking?

#LitsyMarkupPostalBookClub #GroupO #lmpbc #Round5

Sharpeipup Hi! In both of my past rounds, we identified the book in advance which helped because we nearly picked the same book but I‘m good with either way... 5y
InBooksILive Yeah my first round we did surprises I ended up picking a book a couple already read and that's no fun I'm sure. So letting each other know is good with me! @Sharpeipup 5y
InBooksILive AND also I figured we'd send in the name order of the list. Like I send to @Pogue sends to @MeesesPieces sends to @Sharpeipup 5y

MeesesPieces Hi! Letting each other know is fine with me! This is my first time! This is so exciting! 😊📖 5y
Pogue Hello, I think I have found the perfect book. I just have to see if it is in print. 5y
BeansPage @Sharpeipup @MeesesPieces @Pogue hey have you guys heard from @InBooksILive at all? I am from one of her other postal book clubs and she has the majority of the books from our round and she hasn't yet sent them along. I'm starting to get a little worried. We really need those books back. I hope that she is okay. If you speak with her can you please ask her to message me ASAP? Thank you so much 💕😘💕 5y
Pogue @TheReadingMermaid Hi no I have not heard from her in a while. She has not responded in a while to the email chain we have going. Is there a way you can pm me? (edited) 5y
InBooksILive Sorry guys! @TheReadingMermaid I am sending out the 3 books this Friday! 5y
MeesesPieces Glad everything worked out! 😊💕 5y
