Possible May Books

Hey all, it's almost end of April

😲😲*Shocked in books*

Which books y'all think might be May selections

I am hoping Tapestry of Fate and

The burning Side

Is it wishful to hope they will have

Good joy Bad Joy and

We dance among Demons.

What do you think??

The new “nobody reads” BOTM campaign has me wondering…

Does anyone here feel like it’s true? Personally, I’m the only reader in my family and most of my friends aren’t avid readers. Some are more casual readers, usually picking up a book because it’s really hyped up or they saw the movie or tv show. But that’s just my slice of the world. Anyone else think differently?

My first BOTM!

Not sure if it's allowed but I got one book and had my husband get the other so I could get these both for a dollar each 🤣

I'm excited to continue the subscription though!

Have you guys read either? Which one should I start first?

Does anyone have a list of all/some of the thrillers BOTM has released? I joined recently + all the books I’ve gotten so far have been 5⭐️! I’d like to see what else they’ve put out so I can add them to my never ending TBR!

Lena Dunham's Famesick is calculated

The book was recently added on to BOTM, and the marketing for it has been everywhere.

When I studied Dunham’s recent marketing campaigns, I found that authenticity is artifice. Authenticity, in this context, means keeping your audience in mind and reshaping details about your life to connect with them.

I now view Dunham as calculated, a word I never thought I’d use to describe her. Dunham used to write to process life experiences as they happened, resulting in honest and raw pieces that were sometimes to her detriment.

This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me

Question for those who got this book from BOTM, does your cover look like this under the dust jacket too?

So i started this

This is my 4th book by Sager. I read The Only One Left and really enjoyed it. But I read Middle of the Night and House Across the Lake, and those were okish. So I guess we'll see!

A modern classic, a bookish mystery, a gorgeous romantasy ... Marigold's favorite? None of the above!

I didn't get my copy of This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me from BotM, but Marigold wanted you to see it anyway. The jacket copy says the character is named Maggie, but if you read the book you will learn her name is actually MARIGOLD, and people just call her Maggie for short, which is silly, because everyone knows the nickname for "Marigold" isn't "Maggie," it's "Greedy Guts."

Margot’s Got Money Troubles is now on AppleTV!

I didn’t hear anything about this, but this book was such a cute one and I love Elle Fanning so I’m excited to check it out.

Familiarity Breeds Contempt… towards books??

I admit this is a weird one, but does anyone else start resenting or getting sniffy about books that have sat in the TBR pile too long?? Something about seeing them there over and over when I peruse my shelf for what’s next eventually makes me think they must suck or I will hate them, and I have zero reasoning to support this!! 🤣

Black woods blue sky and the bombshell are two of my longest term TBRs and every time I see them I feel grouchy and like I should just donate them.

Am I the only one??
