#EuropaCollective ✨December 2024✨ REMINDER

Hope you all are as excited as I am for our next pick, Belle Greene by Alexandra Lapierre! Read the book sometime in December, post your review &/or any thoughts along the way and be sure to tag the group. All are welcome!

I‘m planning to take a break from Litsy in the new year. If any of you would like to take over hosting duties and keep the group going, please be my guest.

Tamra I‘ve been looking forward to this one! 👏🏾👌🏾 3w
TheKidUpstairs Thanks for the reminder! I totally forgot but I am really looking forward to this one! 3w
LeahBergen I‘m about to post about our Persephone Club soon and have you slated to put forward our October picks. Do you want to stay in our rotation or should I bump the next person up into your spot? Either way will be absolutely fine! I overcommitted myself to buddy reads this year and haven‘t been very good at keeping up with the Europas. 😢 I‘m going to rein myself in next year, too! 😆 3w

LeahBergen @Tamra Right?? 😆 3w
LiteraryHoarderPenny This was a fantastic book! I was completely enthralled with Belle‘s story from beginning to end! The book club should fall in love with it for sure. 3w
jlhammar @LeahBergen You can go ahead and take me out of the Persephone rotation, bump up the next person. I may still read along sometimes, but I don‘t need to choose or vote. Thanks for checking! 3w
Suet624 I hope you won‘t be gone for long. 😳 3w
LeahBergen @jlhammar No problem. Please pop in and read with us when you can! 😘 3w
Gleefulreader Oh! I hope you‘ll be back soon @jlhammar! I haven‘t been the most active because of life intervening this year, but would love for this group to continue, so let me know if you don‘t find a host. I‘ve not hosted anything on here before but happy to learn! And I‘m thrilled to be starting this book! 3w
LeahBergen @jlhammar Oh, I meant to ask … should I leave you on the tag group so that you can see what we‘re reading? Or remove you? 3w
julieclair I‘m so excited about this one! And @jlhammar , thank you for the wonderful job you have done hosting. 💙💝💙 3w

Quiet as a Nun | Antonia Fraser

Not sure I'll rush right out to read the next in this series, but I mostly liked this #nunlit pick, despite some dated bits and a solution I partially sussed out. I wish that modern mysteries were as short and moved as briskly.

#NunLit #TBRTarot #192025

A short mystery published in 1977. While some of it felt dated and I didn‘t particularly love the MC it was an engaging mystery.

@jlhammar @CBee @Librarybelle

CBee Yay! 2mo
Librarybelle I plan to use this for 1977 too! 2mo

Finished Nancy Drew & Limited Edition Murder in the car while traveling to Worcester MA for a Holy Cross v Fordham football game- HC won! (My alma mater).

I am really enjoying our #sundaybuddyread . A YA book, fun & easy reading about witches & magic.
