BIC book club!

[prettyinpa]

Some of us here have expressed an interest in a book club, myself, @mermadelove, @LCResz, @ZombieMetroAnt, @Mcakes. If you'd be interested in joining, reply below. My initial thought was to mail the books around but if it means that some people can't participate, then I'm all for dropping that requirement. I'd love this to be a place where we nominate our favorite book and others can read it and comment. Something fun for the new year!  ETA: the booklist:

@darkiceis had the brilliant idea to start a book club and meetup for us NYC gals. I was thinking of creating a WhatsApp group if you all use WhatsApp?

Currently reading the final third book of the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy “Rich People Problems” and then I’m going to read Fire and Blood. 

[Titian06]

@SportyGirly125 @KehDee - I thought this thread was dead, but it turned out I hadn't been receiving my subscription e-mails for over six months!  I just finished Crazy Rich Asians.  I'm on the wait list for the second book, and have the third book on my wish list.  I have another book on the wait list and three more books on the wish list.  The book I checked out is The Devil Wears Prada.

[SportyGirly125]

@Titian06 the first book took me forever to read. The 2nd and 3rd book are so much better. 

[KehDee]

I’ve heard those books are so good!

[SportyGirly125]

@KehDee several people on here have read the books and enjoyed them. I also like “To All the Boys I Loved Before” series books. 

[KehDee]

My new current read. I was hoping to have it done by now but I’ve still got a lot left

[Mallerlyn]

Omg I’m also working on this collection! I’m halfway through the second book

[ElizabethJoy09]

Wait til you get to A Dance With Dragons! Talk about a long read

[SportyGirly125]

@KehDee hopefully you can finish all 5 books before he releases the newest one that was suppose to come out 2 years ago but keeps getting postpone. 

[KehDee]

This Is my current read

[StTropezBarbie]

@KehDee like the children described in the book, my marshmallow are eyeshadow palettes and I’m trying not to buy anymore until the end of the year. Hopefully, my self control is strong!

[greeneyedgirl107]

Was wondering if anyone had any good books they'd recommend for summer reading.  I just finished reading "The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane" by Lisa See, "Half Broke Horses" by Jeannette Walls and "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett.   

[GodivaMoon]

@Anonymous7 These are some books I love that I couldn't put down when I read them. They're historical fiction...one of my favorite types of books!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@GodivaMoon Those do sound interesting!  The funny thing is, I don't like history but I really like historical fiction!  Thanks!

@greeneyedgirl107 

Gather the Daughters by Jennie Melamed
The Telling by Ursula K. Le Guin

[janedoe13]

@Anonymous7 I really loved The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid and Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton. They have that great summer reads vibe!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@janedoe13 Thanks for the recs!  I am esp interested in the Old Hollywood vibes from "Seven Wives."  🙂

[GG84]

@greeneyedgirl107 

I read a book every week but I read mostly thriller/suspense. So it depends what sort of genre you’re looking for! 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@GG84 I'm open to thrillers/suspense.  The last ones I read were a while back (Tami Hoag and John Sandford) but I enjoyed them 🙂

[Titian06]

@greeneyedgirl107 @GG84 - A work colleague turned me on to James Patterson's the women's murder club series.  These read very fast.
