Welcome Back to the Forum Party 🥳

So glad the forum is back up and running. I’m Jane and the best book I’ve read since the forum has been down was Beautiful Strangers by Camille DiMaio and the book I’m most excited about reading is Jodi Picoult’s The Book of Two Ways.

Love Alice Hoffman’s books and I won her latest that just came out on Goodreads.

I love Alice Hoffman’s works, congrats on the recent Goodreads win! I recently finished Practical Magic and am in the process of reading The Museum of Extraordinary Things.

Skyhunter was soooooo good! Totally binges in 2 days. Now the question is… do you think the sequel will be just as good?

ashleebuttars · October 6, 2020, 4:49pm

I’ve read so many good books lately. A few of my favorites are The Gilded Wolves, The Glass Castle and Darling Rose Gold! I loved the Shadows but I haven’t read Whisper Man yet so I’m looking forward to that!

I liked the silent patient too!! And I’m adding your BOM pick as my add on next month!! Kicking myself I didn’t this month. Addie Larue sounds so good!

My name is Rachael; I work in a local library and hope to be a librarian one day! The best book I’ve read recently has been The Winner’s Curse. I’m excited to read The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. My copy is on the way to me!!

Who’s ready to partyyyyy? The BookishFirst Team (specifically @bookish_dana) will be here chatting and replying to everyone over the next hour. A little about me as a reader, I primarily read romance, YA, and SFF. I’m currently at 132 of my 150 Goodreads goal. My recent obsession has been historical romance.

rachael.lee · October 6, 2020, 5:01pm

I’m waiting patiently (okay not so patiently as I keep checking tracking) for my copy of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue to get here so I can read it as well!

I have Skyhunter as an audiobook from Libro.fm. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it!!

bookishfirst_team · October 6, 2020, 5:02pm

The Winner’s Curse is a great series! Very excited to dive into The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. It sounds fantastic.

bookishfirst_team · October 6, 2020, 5:02pm

The Shadows and The Whisper Man are BookishFirst favorites!

rachael.lee · October 6, 2020, 5:02pm

I’m working through The Winner’s Kiss right now! I’ve enjoyed the whole series so far.

Tessa Dare is great! My two favorites right now are Sarah MacLean and Joanna Shupe. - @bookish_dana
