💥KINDLE DEAL ALERT💥 The amazon ebook of #TheBlinds is on sale today for $1.99!

The Blinds is ”a place populated by criminals—people plucked from their lives, with their memories altered, who‘ve been granted new identities and a 2nd chance...They don‘t know if they‘ve perpetrated a crime or witnessed one, but if they leave, they will end up dead.”

Ashley_Nicoletto Of freaking course it is. 🤣 Ive been waiting on it to go on sale since it came out and I finally caved on Sunday and paid full price. 😩 6y
Jess7 Oh no! That‘s the worst! I‘m sorry that happened to you. It happened to me once when I had a gift card and since then I refuse to pay full price for an ebook. @Ashley_Nicoletto 6y
jpmcwisemorgan Ohhhh...I want to read this one. 6y
Ashley_Nicoletto I know better than to pay full price. My resolve slipped. 🤣🤣 Must have been the heat of the weekend. 6y

I am loving #TheBlinds. It is really good. #Shadow was enjoying lying on my lap, while I read, that he fell asleep on my book. I had to switch to something else so as not to disturb him 😄😍😸🙀

AmyG @TheBookHippie Then I'm in! 7y
BookNAround I have this on my shelf and would love to read it with you. I'm about to do some traveling though. When are you going to start. 7y
Jess7 Would love to this with you if you put together a schedule like we do so many chapters a day or a week etc to keep us paced! 7y
Jess7 I checked. There are 20 chapters. Would you want to pace this out somehow. I could commit to that bc it would still allow me to read my other books at the same time. @AmyG @BookNAround @TheBookHippie @MinDea 7y
Jess7 We could do five chapters a week over the course of four weeks or something like that? 7y
MinDea I could probably start this next week! @Jess7 @BookNAround @TheBookHippie @AmyG 7y
AmyG I am super flexible. So whatever works for the people with busier schedules. @Jess7 @TheBookHippie @BookNAround @MinDea 7y
MinDea I can catch up too if you guys want to start this week. 7y
BookNAround I can start whenever but the week after next I won't be able to check in because I'll have limited access to wifi. 7y
Jess7 I looked at it and this is what I propose: week 1: ch 1-6 (pp. 1-70); week 2: ch 7-10 (pp. 71-139); week 3: ch.11-13 (pp. 140-217); week 4: ch. 14-17 (pp. 218-285); week 5: ch 18-20 (pp. 287-336) 7y
Jess7 Week 1: ch 1-6 (pp. 1-70) 7y
Jess7 Week 2: ch 7-10 (pp. 71-139) 7y
Jess7 Week 3: ch 11-13 (pp 140-217) 7y
Jess7 Week 4: ch 14-17 (pp. 218-285) 7y
Jess7 Week 5 (final week): ch 18-20 (pp. 287-336) 7y
Jess7 What does everyone think of the 5 week schedule I created above? We could start next week but with this *suggested plan* you would know where the group would be each week and you could read ahead if you knew you wouldn't be able to read the following week etc. @MinDea @AmyG @TheBookHippie @BookNAround - we could start next week since this week is almost over but you could always start this weekend to stay on track if you needed? 7y
MinDea Works for me @Jess7. 7y
MinDea @TheBookHippie do you have a # you want us all to use to talk about the book? 7y
TheBookHippie @Jess7 sounds good to me ! 7y
TheBookHippie #LFEreadalong ??? The title is soooo long !!! 🤦🏽‍♀️. @Jess7 7y
Jess7 That works for me! I'll make a post tonight with that tag and the chapter divisions on it so we can save that for quick reference and if that works for everyone we can have the week start next week for the #LFEReadAlong @TheBookHippie @MinDea @BookNAround @AmyG 7y
BookNAround 👍🏻 7y
TheBookHippie @jess7 awesome !!!!!! Wahoo 7y
Jess7 Please share the post I made and tagged you guys in so we get more people to join us! @MinDea @TheBookHippie @BookNAround @AmyG 7y
AmyG Sounda great! Thank you @Jess7 7y
MinDea Posted @Jess7 7y
Jess7 @TheBookHippie I think we should post discussion questions for the current week on Sunday for everyone to respond to. We could mark spoilers accordingly for people not participating in our read along. Do you want to post these questions? @bookloo has been tabbing pages a lot so she might be good at this if she wants to do it? Does anyone else want to do it? @MinDea @AmyG @EllieDottie @BookNAround @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @MrsV 7y
MinDea @Jess7 I'm more than happy to post weekly questions on Sunday! 7y
MinDea @Jess7 do you want to help make up questions or want me to jut come up with 1 or 2 a week? 7y
Jess7 @MinDea Either way! Im happy to help. You have my email - so we could email about it if you want before we post something Sunday. I went back through the chapters and made notes about what happened in each of the 6 chapters we read so I could think of some discussion points. If anyone else wants to join in and help think of some ?s I'd be open to that too. Have you read the chapters yet? Let me know bc if not I'll wait to email you my ideas. 😉 7y
MinDea @Jess7 I haven't read them yet. Was going to last night but I couldn't put down Good as Gone! I will try to read them tomorrow so feel free to send it and I'll wait to read your email until after I am caught up! 7y
Jess7 Ok sounds good! @MinDea - no rush! Enjoy Good As Gone. I really like that book. Have you received anything in the mail yet from me? I can't find the USPS tracking receipt but I think it said it would be there by today or tomorrow. 🤗 7y
bookloo @Jess7 Ooo sorry for the late reply! I don‘t think I would be able to ask really good questions (despite my excessive tabbing! ☺️), but I would love to contribute suggestions on some of the discussions. @MinDea 7y
TheBookHippie @Jess7 Sunday works fine ! @bookloo may ask the questions if she wishes !!! I read the chapters in one setting !!!! Ha. Monday is usually my off day...so I read ! I can come up with questions too if no one else wants to it can. They aren't my strong suit 😂but I love a good discussion! 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Jess7 I'm just seeing these posts! Just got off work! Looks like y'all have it worked out! Hoping to start tonight... if this works well maybe we can do some other buddy reads! Thanks for including me! 😊 7y
Jess7 Have you read The Hate U Give? @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks - it's on my #TBR. I would do a buddy read for that one too. 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Jess7 I have, but I can participate with the questions! Have you read A Little Life or 7y
Jess7 I'm planning to read The Heart's Invisible Furies for my November book club in real life. I'm planning to add it to my #BOTM for October. I own A Little Life and I do want to read it. @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks (edited) 7y
MinDea @TheBookHippie @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @bookloo if you guys want to help with discussion questions can you give me your email address? I can start an email chain with those who want to help so we can all discuss and figure out the questions before I post them on Sundays. @Jess7 7y
bookloo @MinDea Here‘s mine: bookloo.litsy@gmail.com 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @MinDea mistymichelle22@att.net 7y
MinDea @Jess7 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @bookloo @TheBookHippie is everyone a member of BOTM? Why don't we do a monthly #BuddyRead of one of the #botm picks?? 7y
bookloo @MinDea That‘s a great idea! 😍 7y
Jess7 That's a good idea @MinDea - I would like to do the tagged book (The Heart's Invisible Furies) after LFE. Has anyone already read it or would want to read it next? @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @MinDea @bookloo @TheBookHippie @EllieDottie @AmyG @BookNAround @MrsV 7y
MinDea @Jess7 @bookloo @TheBookHippie @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks we can totally do more than 1 book a month too. Have several #botm #buddyreads going. I have that book to read still and would be fine reading it. I was thinking each month read that months pick...to keep up with each month. I am waaaaaaaaay behind on my BOTM picks! 7y
MinDea Let's think of a buddy read name...I'll send an email shortly...and then we can start using that hashtag! My boyfriend offered to make us bookmarks for our buddy read group too! 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @MinDea I am! That's a great idea!! 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Jess7 I have it and I'll be ready to read it when you guys are! 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @MinDea I'm behind too!! That is really sweet of him!! 😊😊 7y
MinDea Just sent an email to you guys @Jess7 @bookloo @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks . The 4 of us can be the hosts of our group! 7y
MinDea @TheBookHippie did you want to host with us and make it 5 hosts?? 7y
MrsV Im@in to read The Heart's Invisible Furies next! 7y
TheBookHippie @Jess7 I have not read it ! I am a BOTM member as well! 7y
TheBookHippie @MinDea I am a BOTM member ! My email social@bookhippie.com 7y
AmyG @MinDea @jess7 I would be ThrilledTo read TheHearts Invisible Furies next. I love the idea of reading a BOTM book as my pile is also quite big. 7y
Jess7 Great, once I get it this next month I'll put together a reading schedule for it to begin when our current one ends. @MinDea @TheBookHippie @AmyG @MrsV @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks - I'm not super creative but it appears this one isn't taken yet if you want to use it - #BOTMreadalong assuming we will always do a BOTM? Thoughts? (edited) 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @mindea when we have a list of the hosts can you compile it and send us an email? I want to make sure I have everyone! 😘 @Jess7 (edited) 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Jess7 sounds great to me!!! 7y
Jess7 I read the email from @MinDea after my last post - I liked #BotmBuddyRead bc of the double BBs so I want to modify my suggestion. @TheBookHippie @AmyG @MrsV @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Jess7 I'm not hard to please! That works for me #BotmBuddyRead 👍🏻 7y
MrsV Sounds good to me! My email is fenwaybaseball74@gmail.com 7y
Jess7 Ok so I propose we keep #LFEreadalong for this book bc we have already told people that hashtag and then we can add our new tag with it - #BOTMBuddyRead and when we get to our next book the Heart's Invisible Furies we can move to #BOTMbuddyread only if you guys want. @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @MinDea @MrsV @AmyG @TheBookHippie 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Jess7 sounds like a plan!! 👍🏻 7y
TheBookHippie @Jess7 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💗📚📖sounds great!!! 7y
TheBookHippie @MinDea my BOTM pile big as well!! 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️📚 7y
AmyG @Jess7 #BOTMBuddyRead...I love it! 7y
Jess7 I changed our main picture/post by subbing in a square with the dates instead of Celeste Ng signing my book - so people have it if they screen shot it and repost it. @TheBookHippie @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @MinDea @MrsV @AmyG @bookloo (edited) 7y

My boyfriend is out tonight so I indulged in some comfort food tonight. Fried chicken tenders with mashed potatoes and a country biscuit with butter and strawberry jam! Yum. Hoping to make a nice dent in #TheBlinds tonight. I am only 30 pages in but VERY intrigued by the story so far

Lies She Told | Cate Holahan

I should have listened to everyone and read #TheBlinds instead of #LiesSheTold. I picked this one cause it was shorter and thought I could just knock it out. The writing was terrible. It seemed the author couldn't decide on the story so she wrote 2 and embedded one in the other. I figured out "the twist" in chapter 2. So disappointed. However, #Shadow enjoyed me sitting down to finish it! ??
#BookReview #botm #CatsOfLitsy #Shippy

MinDea I just looked at everyone's review on here and I might be the only one that feels this way... 🤔😐 7y
Jess7 This is on my #TBR - I have heard mixed reviews, but I was excited to read it. Have you read The Couple Next Door? In my opinion, the writing in that wasn't very good, but I was able to get past that and enjoy the book - even though I didn't particularly think the ending was believable? If your dislike for this book is like that, I could still read it and maybe enjoy it but if it's worse than that - just terrible like the one I'm tagging then 😩 7y
Megabooks I'm bored by it and gave up for now. So sick of thrillers. 👎🏻👎🏻 7y
Sace Shadow is beautiful! ❤️ 7y
MinDea @Jess7 I did read The Couple Next Door. That was a quick read and kept me interested. imo Lies She Told is worse than The Couple Next Door. I really wouldn't recommend it. 7y
