BIC book club!

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:

Re: BIC book club!

Glad you found this thread @KrissySM; welcome! These two books sound interesting; making a note to look into them. 

Re: BIC book club!

Welcome, @KrissySM !  We used to actively read a scheduled list of books (listed at the top of the page), but it eventually fell to the wayside.  Now we read independently, posting what we read and helping each other find our next reads. 📚

 

I'm definitely going to look into your two books.

Re: BIC book club!

Happy to have found this thread and will update on my reads 🤓

Re: BIC book club!

Finished these in the last couple weeks.

Re: BIC book club!

Whoa! Look at you go @blackkitty2014! You're a reading fiend! 😍 Ahhh, James Patterson - another author I used to read a lot from. Making another note ... 

Re: BIC book club!

@itsfi  I blamed Amazon for this. I’m not familiar with Micheal Bennet series. They throws at me random books for super cheap lfrom .99 to $4.99 from times to times. Good marketing on their part. I end up reading the series and I’m sure there will be purchases in the future since my library doesn’t have complete series 😂🤣

Re: BIC book club!

Well played amazon marketing; or should I say, well played, amazon marketing AI; well played. That's how they get us @blackkitty2014!

Re: BIC book club!

You are on a roll, @blackkitty2014 ! 😄  I did finish Paris Agent (posted above) last week.  Now I'm reading a book on how to become a minimalist--yea, right, not gonna happen! 🤣

Re: BIC book club!

Hehehe thx you seems taking me forever @Titian06 especially that Stephen King book. I thought I have to renew it after 21 day limit ran out 😂🤣 

Re: BIC book club!

I've been meaning to post my reading adventures.  I recently finished the first two books and started the third book.

Re: BIC book club!

Of these three @Titian06, was there one you enjoyed more than the others?

Re: BIC book club!

What are your thoughts on The Paris Agent? @Titian06 

Re: BIC book club!

Hi, @KrissySM !  It was predictable, yet at the same time it was a nice, easy read allowing me to destress.  If you like stories set during WWII, then I recommend.  If not, you won't be missing anything.

Re: BIC book club!

Ohh those sound good @Titian06 

Re: BIC book club!

I finished these 2 couple days back. Surprisingly I enjoyed the 2nd installment of 6:20 man The Edge much more than the first one. Debating whether I should read Renée Ballard 4th book (sigh my library doesn’t have the 3rd book) or Stephen King fairy tale. Will report back which one I read next.

Re: BIC book club!

This is going to show how little I read 😞 - I'm only familiar with Michael Connelly because of you @blackkitty2014! Is it the storyline / plot that you like about his books? His writing style? 

Re: BIC book club!

Amazon keeps offers me his books on discount @itsfi . That’s why you see I finished soo many of his books recently. My local library has lots of his as well 😘

Re: BIC book club!

Discounts seem to make a purchase that much better @blackkitty2014!

Re: BIC book club!

@blackkitty2014 - Have you tried requesting the book through your library's interlibrary loan?  You can do that even if you borrow books electronically. 

Re: BIC book club!

We live in a tiny town so I borrow ebooks via the county library. But that’s a good call @Titian06 . I know the neighbor county is using the same app so I can ask them if I can do that. Thank you. It’s definitely frustrating when a series missing a book or 2. 

Re: BIC book club!

@blackkitty2014 - I live in a small town too.  Our library is part of a larger metro library.  I submitted a request through the app; and much to my surprise, the book showed up a few months later!  I hope it works for you too. 🍀  Yea, there are a few books missing out of a couple of different series I've been reading on and off.  I'll ask about them eventually!
