Some people are addicted to soda, some to coffee, some to chocolates. I'm seriously addicted to Book of the Month Club (BOTM). I wait on pins and needles at the beginning of the month to see what book options I have to pick from and how many I can get. Because you can NEVER have enough books, right??!! So, this list is my backlog of BOTM books I need to read and get off my shelves so I can get more books. πŸ“š

My 12:
1. Madwoman
βœ”οΈ2. The Wedding People - 1/24
3. Listen for the Lie
4. The Night We Lost Him
5. Pictures of You
6. Middle of the Night
7. Just for the Summer
8. The Fury
9. A Thousand Times Before
10. Butcher & Blackbird
βœ”οΈ11. Is She Really Going Out with Him? - 2/15
βœ”οΈ12. Only If You're Lucky - 3/20

Plus 4:
1. Anita de Monte Laughs Last
βœ”οΈ2. Blue Sisters - 1/10
3. The Three Lives of Cate Kay
4. What Happened to the McCrays?

I think I'm doing a horror type of BOTM; so this is great. I definitely have many of these authors, but only one of the books.

Good luck and happy reading!

You ladies and your book of the month club! It's so tempting to join. But I still add more books to my physical book shelves than I read every year...and don't get me started on my audiobook problem! I can't wait to see what you think about all of these great books!

A nice variety of genres and books I haven't read. I'll have to see how you rate them and which ones you love.

I am also a guilty and fickle BOTM-er. I both read and hoard them. Of your list, I really loved Just for the Summer (Abby Jimenez's best IMO), Listen for the Lie, The Wedding People and Blue Sisters.

Only if You're Lucky and The Fury have been hanging around my house longer than I'd care to admit!

Good luck with your list!

**franctically writing down possible buddy reads**

I already have us down for The Wedding People, but I am also interested in Butcher & Blackbird (which I own) , as well as Pictures of You & Middle of the Night- which i dont own but will get .
LMK ;)

There are worse addictions than books. Enjoy your 2025 reading.

Thanks Amalia! 😊 So my habit has gotten really bad since they've expanded the box size to let you get up to 5 books in a month. I use my books as gifts for friends, family and my son's teachers. So they eventually find a good home. But I'm getting them faster than i can read them. Lol

Lindsey~Great List of BOTM. I don’t do that because I have about 10 Books from Various Places a Month. Then get ARC since must read the newest book the author wrote, even if her last book is sitting on my floor still waiting TBR.

What Happened to the McCrays was Incredible. That I got since NG wasn’t listing fast enough, so I begged the Publisher and she sent it in the Mail to Me :-)

The Fury thought was really great. Loved The Night We Lost Him. Bought Blue Sisters and Listen for the Lie. Those both have heard are good.

I have to put my list together, but thinking similar Idea. I must get some Books off my Floor, so Yes, can Buy More Books to Put There.

Happy Reading! Happy New Year 🎊 2025 πŸ“š

1st book finished - Blue Sisters . 4 stars.

A beautiful and heartwarming story about the bonds of sisterhood and heartwrenching journey they all take through the grieving process.

It's kind of hard to say more about it without giving away too much of the plot. Each of these sisters have their own demons to face as they battle how to move on after the loss of their sister. I think the author does a great job of showing the various stages of grief and how they can dominate your life.

Congrats on finishing your first book Lindsey.

2nd book finished -The Wedding People . 5 stars! πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™

I just loved this book! I honestly didn't know exactly what it was about, and I think that's a good thing. I got to ride the roller-coaster with Phoebe! I loved all of the characters, even the mean sister-in-law, lol. What a fun story of a woman trying to find her way again when everything in her world comes crashing down. Just be unapologetically yourself!

I’m seeing great reviews everywhere on this one. Looks like I better move it to the top of the TBR.

3rd book finished - Is She Really Going Out with Him? . 4 stars πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–

What the perfect book to read for Valentine’s Day! It's sweet, touching, heartwarming, charming, romantic. I loved all.of the characters. And what a fun idea - having your kids pick dates for you.

I really enjoyed her other book This Time Next Year, and this book makes me want to read all of her other books.

4th book finished - Only If You're Lucky . 4 stars

So talk about a story of keep your friends close and yiur enemies closer! You really can't figure out who your true friends are. This was a dark and twisty, quick read thriller. Throughout the story little clues are dropped here and there to help he reader figure out what happened. I did not see that ending happening quite like it did. I've read all of Stacy Willingham's books and have become a fan of hers. Good book!

So happy to read a great review! It makes me want to read it even more. But I need to wait till the second half of the year when my book club reads it.

Kudos on your overall progress, Lindsey! You are on point!
