BookBosomed1 @Laughterhp I have heard that The Exiles is really good 3mo

kellyann28 I haven't ready any! I would go for The Book of Lost Names or The Forest of Vanishing Stars. I would happily read any of them! 😀 3mo

BookBosomed1 @kellyann28 I've never done LMPBC before so checking my understanding - do I pick one of these books based on ya'll's feedback and then I pass that along at the end of November or is there a different process? 3mo

kellyann28 Yes, the choice is entirely up to you though! So you'll read your book in November and then mail it to the next person that's on the address list that was sent to your email. You'll send to the same person each month until you get your original book back! 3mo

kellyann28 And also, in this we mark up the books: Make comments on our thoughts, underline, highlight, or whatever your heart desires 3mo

BookBosomed1 @kellyann28 got it. Thanks for the response! 3mo

kellyann28 Of course! I've done this for two or three years now so let me know if you have any other questions! 3mo

ncsufoxes I haven‘t read any of them & they all sound interesting 3mo

BookBosomed1 @kellyann28 @ncsufoxes @Laughterhp I am going to go with The Engineer‘s Wife. I want to learn about the Brooklyn Bridge! 😉 3mo

kellyann28 Sounds great! 3mo

West with Giraffes | Lynda Rutledge

Hello #LMPBC #GroupJ 💜 I'm excited to read some historical fiction with you all this round! Here are my choices that I've been debating. Have you read any previously? Any that stand out to you?
@Laughterhp @ncsufoxes @BookBosomed1

Laughterhp West With Giraffes would be my top choice because it‘s on my TBR. But they all sound good and I haven‘t read any of them! 3mo

BookBosomed1 I like them all! I haven‘t read any of those books. The Girls in the Stilt House and The World That We Knew are all on my TBR. (edited) 3mo

BookBosomed1 I just read the description for West with Giraffes and I‘m excited about that one. 3mo

Above the Bay of Angels: A Novel | Rhys Bowen

pick

3.5 ⭐️ I didn‘t realize this was a cozy mystery until quite a bit into it lol. It is a fast read. The writing is smooth, enjoyable and I was actually surprised how quickly it read it.

A young girl from an aristocratic background falls on hard times and by pure chance (and some lying) becomes a cook for the queen of England. There‘s lots of cooking, mentions of class (superiors / inferiors lol) and of course a mystery. #LMPBC #GROUPJ #ROUND10
