The 2024 LINE UP ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Everyone welcome!!!

AmyG Oh boy! Thanks for posting. I just saw that Simone had a new book out next year. 🙌🏻 6h
TheBookHippie @AmyG Did you get your mail from me with this schedule yet??? 6h
vlwelser Is it weird that the ones I'm most excited for are both by authors named Simone? I have the de Beauvoir in French. Because why not be extra? 6h

TheBookHippie @vlwelser Extra is good! You may catch things we don't! Hopefully not too many duds..........I am excited for it! 6h
vlwelser It's so hard to pick book club books. Even if there are some duds the discussion will be fun. 6h
TheBookHippie @vlwelser Well we have certainly proven that point! OY VEY! 6h
vlwelser That last book was so disappointing. After we loved one of her other books. I think it's easier to be disappointed with a new author because it's like meh and you move on. 6h
AmyG I have not gotten the schedule yet. 6h
TheBookHippie @AmyG OH DEAR!!! the mail is truly SLOW!! OY! I will mail another to you and to @BarkingMadRead it's been weeks. ugh....... 6h
CBee Zorrie is excellent. And I have Flight Portfolio on Kindle, maybe I‘ll wait to read it! 6h
TheBookHippie @CBee OH YAY!!! Join us!! Glad to hear Zorrie is good! 6h
CBee @TheBookHippie it‘s very simple, very melancholy, but also lovely. I really enjoyed it. And I will try to join! I want to read Simone‘s newest too 🙌🏻🙌🏻 6h
TheBookHippie @CBee 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 6h
BarkingMadRead Great selection! I haven‘t read any of these! 5h
AmyG Don‘t mail another one yet. Mail is slow here so let‘s wait a bit. 5h
TheBookHippie @AmyG 😘😘😘 5h

So the plot is hatched with Mary to be Annabel …and arrives to start the plan .. What could go wrong?!

Julie is coming -the other person who could inherit

Grandfather is napping ..

Tea time

Thoughts on the plot?

vlwelser Those cakes look delicious. 6h
vlwelser 😂 the plot. Anyway.... I think the plot poking holes in itself is clever. I think this works better in the time period than it would today. Science and social media have definitely ruined a good mistaken identity plot theme. 6h
TheBookHippie @vlwelser I am just pretending it is 1962 when it was written, HA. or the 1950s...... 6h

vlwelser It feels pretty Agatha Christie so far. Maybe with a side of Hammet. 6h
TheBookHippie @vlwelser I was thinking Christie, I can see Simone now too. 6h
vlwelser Oh definitely Simone. The early stuff. 6h
Lcsmcat Those sound so delicious! 5h
AmyG Hahahahaha….what could go wrong? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 5h
vonnie862 If she's really not Annabel, many things could go wrong. If she is Annabel, well, we're going to see some weird stuff happening. 5h
IndoorDame @vlwelser @TheBookHippie same. I‘m already starting to see how she was a Simone inspiration. Very exciting! 5h
TheBookHippie @Lcsmcat on the agenda this week! 4h
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame it‘s so exciting!! 4h
TheBookHippie @vonnie862 either way it‘s going to be fun! 4h
TheBookHippie @AmyG 😵‍💫🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ 4h

Lisa Dermott
Trust her or no?
What‘s in it for her?

vlwelser I don't trust her or the brother. But the narrator is also suspect imo. 6h
TheBookHippie @vlwelser Me- They're all guilty!! HAHAHAHA. 6h
AmyG Ha, right? @vlwelser That‘s what makes this so good already. Trust no one. 5h
See All 7 Comments
IndoorDame I agree. Everyone seems guilty so far! 😂 It‘s awesome! 5h
vonnie862 Oh man...I'm going to be going back and forth trying to figure out who is the bad person. Maybe it's like the Oriental Express where everyone is guilty? Who knows? 5h
TheBookHippie @mcctrish I agree!!! No one is to be believed at this point! 16m

Makes me so angry and sick…

vlwelser The poor tree. 6h
AmyG I did see this. WTF is wrong with people? 😢 (edited) 5h
IndoorDame I didn‘t see this! People are SO awful! 😢😢 5h
vonnie862 I saw this too so it was on my mind when reading the first three chapters. It's so sad how people can be so destructive. 5h

Con Winslow
Yikes
So what really happened with Annabel?
And what‘s he really doing ?!?!

vlwelser He's so creepy right from the start. Maybe that's a red herring. 6h
TheBookHippie @vlwelser I wonder... 6h
AmyG He is VERY creepy. Kind of stalkerish. 5h
See All 7 Comments
IndoorDame He totally comes off like a stalker. But I was also completely convinced she was running a con when I first met her, so…🤷🏻‍♀️ 5h
vonnie862 Oh man. He gave me the creeps right away. 5h
TheBookHippie @vonnie862 ME too!!! Yikes... 31m
mcctrish The way his facial expressions are described has me thinking serial killer 🤣😳 21m

Mary Grey
So, thoughts ???
Interesting lead character- Or is she really Annabel? Or Annabel is um DEAD? Murdered?! Which ???

Also 😬 the cliff 🤯😵‍💫opening scene ..

vlwelser I have no idea where this is going. I love that. 6h
TheBookHippie @vlwelser so happy I could cry.......... 6h
AmyG Yeah, I was wondering if she was actually Annabel, too. Is she back for revenge or something? Or is she actually Mary? I‘m going to enjoy this one. 5h
See All 6 Comments
vonnie862 My thoughts as well! Is she Annabel? Is she a twin? 5h
IndoorDame @vlwelser I love that I have no clue at this point! 5h
mcctrish @IndoorDame me too and me either 22m

Pickpick

This is lovely. Obviously. #SundayBuddyRead @TheBookHippie thank you so much for sending this and also for picking her biography.

#DoubleSpin June @TheAromaofBooks I should never have put a giant book of poetry on my June list. Lesson learned.
