message 10: by Marie (new)

Marie | 21 comments I'm listening to Tending Roses (Tending Roses #1) by Lisa Wingate I'm also reading The Truest Pleasure by Robert Morgan

I chose Tending Roses because I wanted to join in the discussion this month (it'll be my first time!) but I still haven't figured out where that takes place. I've been on Goodreads for several years and I never get involved in the groups because they seem overwhelming...I can never find where to post. My goal this month is to figure it out. All hints welcome :)


message 11: by Loraine (new)

Loraine (librarydiva) | 4439 comments Marie here is the link where the discussion will take place. The links are near the top of the home page each month under Book of the Month and Group Buddy Read. Hope this helps you.

message 14: by Lila (last edited Feb 02, 2019 08:19PM) (new)

Lila Diller | 225 comments I'm having trouble getting into a book I signed up to review. I have to finish it by February 12 and didn't realize how long it was! Finding Amor

Then I want to finish the "short story" I started, not realizing how long it would take to read. (Kindle says more than an hour).

Then I will need to get started on a much shorter book for review in March,The Baggage Handler.

If I have any more time, I need to finish Gulliver's Travels that I never finished last year (I'm at 50%) to count for the Past, Present, & Catchup challenge.
Finding Amor (Buscando Home, #1) by Allison K. Garcia The Baggage Handler by David Rawlings Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift

Nancy (gr-nancy-a) | 310 comments I am thoroughly enjoying The Twin by Jan Hudson. I am halfway through it and so far it is a clean, sweet romance.
It just is SO Texas and as an adult transplant to this marvelous state I am a total fan.


message 20: by Nancy (new)

Nancy (gr-nancy-a) | 310 comments Whoops, around page 140 The Twin lost its clean designation. This is c2010 Harlequin American Romance (series book).
So NOT recommended for CFD group....

I wish I could listen to audio books, since I do a lot of computer work it would break up the silence. But I get so lost in them, I loose my place, it is a disaster. 🤷‍♀️ So I guess I will just stick to paper books and my Kindle.

Katrina Lybbert | 886 comments I did not get as much reading as I had hoped in February but I did finish 2 of my planned books:

I found it interesting, and all the twists and turns kept me turning the pages. Oh, and I loved Kevin!
The only downside for me was the amount of social drinking that went on throughout the story.
