Has anyone been thinking of joining Book of the Month??? I got this email to share with a friend - join for $5 - and wanted to share the link in case anyone had been on the edge. I have been a member since March 2018 and it is a simple joy every month to see the new selections and receive my box 📖 Let me know if you have any questions! I‘ll post the link in the comments.

Starting my #LMPBC along with a lime frosted coconut bar from Starbucks 🌴 🥥 @Jerdencon @Christyco125

My book club with friends picked our books for 2023!! Each month we will choose this selection or nominate any new finds, then vote on a final choice.

Which ones have you read? Which ones are faves?? Excited for this list, but it will be hard to wait for some of these!

Ready to dig into this ARC while my son naps on our last full day of this cabin trip … it is cloud and cool and perfect reading weather ☁️ 😴

This one was honestly so disappointing for me. I had such high hopes. It took me FOREVER to get hooked on the story (like until the last 100 pages), but then I stayed up late to finish because I couldn‘t put it down. I did not connect with the characters and kept wondering why there was so much premonition of what was to come instead of anything actually happening ⭐️⭐️⭐️

First swap I‘ve joined in almost 2 years…haven‘t felt I had the time to participate with a newborn (who is somehow now a toddler 🤯) I LOVE FALL so this is the perfect swap to dive back into. Check out @Endowarrior21 page to join me 🍁#litsyswaps #cozyfallswap

Why is this so funny 😂

I don‘t want to say TOO much, but I did not enjoy this one as much as I expected 😬 - I was disappointed in the writing style and how the points of view confusingly jumped around at times - but there were parts I was into and I am hoping my #LMPBC members will find some things to enjoy 📖 This will be on its way to @Jerdencon soon! (Also tagging our other member @Christyco125 )

It arrived yesterday and I can‘t wait to get started (after I wrap up a few books I have in progress 😅) #LMPBC

SO excited to start this one tonight ‼️

Well, I‘m a little worried this one is rated at 42% 😬…
But starting my #LMPBC read @Jerdencon @Christyco125

Congratulations on your milestone @Nessavamusic !! Thanks for offering the opportunity of this #100kGiveaway

Any of these sound good for this round @Jerdencon @Christyco125 ?? #LMPBC

This box is going to be SOOOOO GOOD 📚

Wow this did not end as I expected! It kept me guessing until the end - I really feel the strong female characters in this novel are a timely parallel for current events. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🛑 STOP what you‘re doing and go pick up this book!!! You can thank me later. I don‘t usually enjoy romance novels, but a friend picked this one to read together and I absolutely could not put it down ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and would give it more if I could

Started this one … reading with a friend … why is it SO GOOD ?! Can‘t put it down … it won‘t take me long to fly through this one 🌼

Could not be more excited to start this ARC!!! I have loved Katherine Center‘s previous books and expect to fly through it ✈️

Typical Elin Hilderbrand novel that was tugging on my heartstrings all the way through. Mallory and Jake have a “same time next year” pact and this beautifully written story had me turning pages so fast…simply a wonderful read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Going to be at our cabin for 10 days. Brought 5 books and my kindle. Also ordered one more from Amazon that should be arriving today 🫢 🤷🏻‍♀️ (Photobomb of my son‘s Stitch toy 🤣)

So excited to return to the Litsy Markup Postal Book Club!! #LMPBC Join me in group S - especially if you love a good thriller or historical fiction read ☺️

Finished this one while I‘m sitting with Mom 💗 Leaving it for her to read next because it is SO GOOD!!!

Next up for book club 🤓

Couldn‘t decide which book to read at nap time today so I brought out two 🤷🏻‍♀️

How many is too many books for a 10 day cabin trip?? 🤔 How many do you think I packed?? 🤣 Starting this one, which came highly recommended!

Cabin days call for reading in the hammock during little man‘s nap time 📖 I loved this book and it is one of the best I‘ve read in a while!

The blurb for this one begins “When Katy‘s mother dies, she is left reeling. Carol wasn‘t just Katy‘s mom but her best friend and first phone call.” They were planning a mother-daughter trip she now takes alone.
This has such a lovely cover and sounds really interesting…hoping it doesn‘t hit too close to home as my Mom was diagnosed with cancer just before thanksgiving, finished 4 rounds of chemo and is about to have a stem cell transplant ❤️💪🏻

Starting both of these at nap time!
Reading 1️⃣ with my husband
Reading 1️⃣ for book club

It has been FAR too long since I have posted, but I‘m here to say: If you have not read this one, RUN and get it. Now. Thank me later. It is SOOOO GOOD! This was picked by someone else for the Mama Book Club I‘m in and OMG I‘m so glad it was chosen!! It is a roller coaster of emotions🎢 and I did not see the end coming at all!

I was on the fence about this #BOTM pick, but had to give it a shot. Here‘s to hoping I get lost in this one 🌲

✈️ Loved the twists and suspense in this one ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Next up for Mama Book Club 📖

My reading goal was much lower than previous years as my days are now filled with caring for my baby/toddler, but I DID IT!! 🎉

A rainy cabin day calls for a new book while little man naps 😴 📖 🩰

It is so hard for me to believe my little guy will turn ONE in 5 1/2 weeks. HOW?! 😭 I worked as an early childhood teacher (or assistant teacher) for 14 years before staying home with him so I‘m excited to start this book that is right up my alley!

✔️ Beautiful new ombré Starbucks tumbler filled with a Strawberry açaí refresher
✔️ Finishing up a GREAT read while little man naps. I could not put this one down and definitely need to check out more novels by Chris Bohjalian ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Next UP 📖

This one was disappointing. It was hard to follow the plot as it slipped around quite a bit and some of the quotes between chapters left me confused ⭐️ However, finishing it up from the hammock (as little man naps!) on Day 1 of our 10 day cabin trip made the ending a little sweeter! 🌲

First book in our Mama Book Club and this has me cracking up 🤣🤣🤣

This book is as fabulous as the cover. Stop what you‘re doing and read it ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ It has such a unique story line that really pulls you in. I really enjoyed this one!

It has been a hot minute since I‘ve posted, but I‘m finally getting some time here during little guy‘s nap to start this new one!! Coben is a favorite author so I could not be more excited!! 💕

I feel it‘s a great day to start this one ☝️

I was really not impressed with this one. I almost could not finish it because the topics are not ones I like to read about. ⭐️

** book not pictured with my reading buddy ** Finished up during morning nap today! This was different from other books I normally read, but I‘m so glad I gave it a shot. The language was hard to get into at first for me, but I ended up getting so attached to Adunni and invested in her story. I wanted the best for her and enjoyed cheering her on. Check this one out! #botm ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Couldn‘t pick which one to read so starting both 🤷🏻‍♀️

This one started off strong and I was completely into it, but somewhere around the middle it lost me. It became cheesy and unbelievable. It was a light, easy read though so onto the next 🙌🏻

This book was so different from most books I read and I loved it immensely!!! Definitely did not want it to end
