The more I think about this book the more I love it. The character's felt incredibly real. Kay is a story I want to hear more about. I am sad this book has ended. #JoyousJanuary #52booksin52weeks @Andrew65

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 Sounds good. 2d

so-so

A lovely set of stories about people living their lives in a small community and a look into their thoughts, experiences and struggles. A bit cheesy at parts, but dealt with real and gritty topics.

This was a beautiful exploration of how the lives of a small community intersect. It is a beautiful book full of heartbreak, struggle, triumph, & well... A little hope.
The chapters are told from perspectives of different characters & braided together to allow an intimate view into the relationships & bonds that hold the community together. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

What to rate this? It depends on whether your in the mood for some fluffy moralism. The good characters are very good; there aren‘t “bad guys”, but there are hard up characters that aren‘t redeemed. Maybe I‘m a snob, but this reads unsophisticated and a bit immature, like a talented teen wrote it. However, sometimes one needs fluffy, and I did the day I started this. Definitely a book with a little hope. I‘ll go with pick. #botm

Megabooks @TrishB thank you! 3mo

Megabooks @jdiehr I hope you enjoy it! I‘m not sorry it was my pick, but I liked (not loved) it. 3mo

Megabooks @Cinfhen thanks! I know it‘s not as positive as yours, but it felt heavy handed to me, yet still a heartwarming book 3mo

marleed I like this review. I get what you mean when book is okay but just needs a bit more sophistication in its telling. 3mo

Megabooks @marleed thanks! That was just the best word for it. It could‘ve used some subtlety. 3mo

Chelsea.Poole I‘ve been wondering about this one. Great review! 3mo

Megabooks @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB thanks! We‘ve turned it into my living room. Yay! (Not sure if I mentioned that yet. Very forgetful atm.) Molly likes to play in there, so it just made sense. My favorite chair is right next to that. Molly likes to sit in my lap and look out the window. 😁 3mo

Cinfhen That‘s wonderful! A gorgeous space for you two ♥️ 3mo

Megabooks @Cinfhen thanks friend! We‘re sitting in the chair now watch the grass get mowed. Exciting stuff! 3mo

#BOTM was kinda blah this month ☹ it doesn't help that I'm in such a reading funk right now, and usually spooky season is my favorite for reading. I wasn't even excited to check the picks today, ugh do I hate slumps!!!

mdm139 I skipped too 3mo

ItsAnotherJen I relate. It's been harder for me to get into books lately. I've been taking a lot longer getting through the books I'm reading too. Definitely feeling like I'm in a reading slump as well 3mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I also skipped 😩 3mo

erank58 @mdm139 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @EKonrad @staci.reads seems like there were a lot of skips this month!!! 3mo

erank58 @ItsAnotherJen I feel the same way! I need a good one to keep my interest. I have a few lined up for my TBR that I'm going to try next week! Good luck 😊 3mo

mrsthilkey I skipped for the 3rd month in a row. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 3mo

LOVED this month on #botm!! I‘m very hopeful 😉 about these choices. Somehow I worked my way up to four accounts, so after these arrive I‘m canceling these two. Skipped on the other two. Excited to see what everyone else did!

Cinfhen, swishandflick, Reviewsbylola

Cinfhen Oh wow!!! 4 accounts 😂😂😂do you need 4 different emails??? I tried to rejoin but it keeps taking me to my current account. 3mo

Megabooks @Cinfhen yes! Four different emails! 😂😂 3mo

Reviewsbylola I could have probably been persuaded by either of your main picks but I don‘t like the covers enough. 😂 The NF I may listen to on audio depending on reviews. And your fourth choice is def one of the adds on I was interested in! 3mo

Cinfhen I need to cutback on BOTM simply because of delivery to Israel. I‘m waiting for my “ free” book of the year book and then I‘m pulling the plug. Almost ALL of these books end up on #Scribd or #Audible so I‘m happy putting my $ towards that. But I do love the monthly excitement of a little blue box 😍 3mo

swishandflick 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 3mo

MicheleinPhilly 4??? Didn‘t you quit when I did??? 🤣🤣🤣 3mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 🎉📚🎊 3mo

ValerieAndBooks What @MicheleinPhilly said!! I quit at that same time too, and now somehow you have 4 accounts 😂 !! There are times I miss that blue box coming, and other times when I don‘t. 3mo

britt_brooke FOUR? 😂😅💸 Too funny. 3mo

Megabooks @MicheleinPhilly @ValerieAndBooks @britt_brooke I rejoined on my main account a few months later for what was supposed to be one month that has turned into three. The other ones I joined using the blue box #botmhacks to get cheap add ons that I wanted. Last month I got four add ons over two accounts. Just reminded me that it sucks when they‘re the best books. I enjoyed two, bailed on one, and am enjoying the third, so at least I‘m reading them! 3mo

Megabooks @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @swishandflick 👍🏻👍🏻 3mo

Megabooks @Cinfhen yeah, I can imagine that would be hard. Probably better to buy local or BD. Plus, like me, you seem to be reading more audiobooks than print. Plus you‘ve got netgalley! #NeverTooManyBooks 😉 3mo

Megabooks @Reviewsbylola yeah the add ons seem pretty solid. I almost decided I didn‘t need the essays in print, but I wanted to read more print NF. Or at least have one around. 😁 3mo

November #BOTM picks! 📚

swishandflick @Cinfhen @Reviewsbylola @Megabooks @Breanne1 (edited) 3mo

Branwen YES! You're the absolute BEST! 😁💕📚 Thanks so much for posting these! 3mo

Nelnjali The Keeper of the Night sounds like my kind of book, and I'm definitely curious about the Keanu Reeves book. It sounds like it could be some quirky fun. 3mo

See All 28 Comments

Breanne1 Thank you SO much, I really appreciate the tag!! I‘m leaning towards A Little Hope or The Collective. Need to keep thinking on it… 3mo

BookwormAHN I'm thinking Keeper of Night. 3mo

AmyG Thank you! 3mo

Cinfhen Ahhhh!!! Thank you!!!! You‘re awesomeness xxx 3mo

swishandflick @Branwen Sure thing!! Anything jumping out at you? 3mo

swishandflick @Nelnjali I felt similarly about the Keanu book! Haha. I don't usually purchase romance in hardback but that sounds fun. 3mo

swishandflick @Breanne1 Definitely been doing some digging! I think I'm leaning towards The Family 👏🏽 3mo

swishandflick @Cinfhen Anything striking your fancy? I saw your review on A Little Hope and that sounds good. I feel like I'm also leaning towards The Family. 😆 3mo

PathfinderNicole Wooo!! Thanks for always posting these!!! It‘s really helpful for getting a jump start on my picks! 3mo

Branwen I think I might get 3 again this month! 🤣😂 The Collective, A Little Hope, and the fantasy YA one look soooo good! 😍 Of course, I might change that around if there are super good add ons too! 🤔📚 3mo

Megabooks I‘ll have to look these up!! 3mo

Megabooks A little hope and the family look good to me! 3mo

5feet.of.fury How to Marry Keanu Reaves in 90 Days? The title is selling meeeee 3mo

TravelsWithBooks @5feet.of.fury Same! 3mo

Hollie Oooh, The Family looks good! 3mo

swishandflick @Hollie That's the one that's calling to me too! 3mo

Booknerd222 I‘m kinda disappointed cause for the last few months (and this month) I haven‘t found any of the books horribly interesting. 3mo

marleed Oh cool -I saw a spoiler suggesting The Family is Jenna‘s Nov bookclub pick. 3mo

Cinfhen The Family is the only one calling to me!! A Little Hope is a quiet & quick read but it doesn‘t really linger once you put it away. It‘s good but not GREAT. I‘m curious to see the add-ons 3mo

catiewithac Major bummer 3mo

Breanne1 With @Cinfhen review of a Little Hope I‘m leaning towards The Family now. It seems like The Collective will be a potential ebook deal for me down the road…don‘t need it in hard back. 3mo

Cinfhen Agreed @Breanne1 worth picking up at some point but not necessarily a book to own immediately 3mo

Reviewsbylola Ok, just my first impression—none of these look like books I would read. Possibly the synopses will change my mind on that BUT even if I do change my mind, I really don‘t like any of these covers. And that‘s a dealbreaker for me for book purchases. 3mo

mrsthilkey @Booknerd222 same. I will be skipping for the third month in a row 😬 3mo

swishandflick @Reviewsbylola Haha, fair! 3mo

A Little Hope: A Novel | Ethan Joella

pick

A special and touching debut. Ethan Joella introduces us to an unforgettable cast of characters. This novel follows a group of loosely connected characters each tenderly drawn, who reside in the town of Wharton, Connecticut. The story encapsulates one year as their lives intertwine through friendship, loss, joy, sorrow and hope. Many thanks to Simon & Schuster for gifting me this beautiful, quite novel. #SimonAndSchusterBookClubFavorites #ARC👇🏼

SimonSchuster, simonbooks

Cinfhen There are a few trigger warnings but they are also spoilers so peek at your own risk 👇🏼 4mo

Cinfhen Death, miscarriage, 4mo

Megabooks I think I‘m going to choose this from BOTM! Great review! 3mo

Cinfhen It‘s a quiet and quick read. But it might be a #BorrowNotBuy @Megabooks 😬 3mo

Megabooks I have a bunch of credits and December is usually shit, so I‘ll probably go for it. 👍🏻 3mo
