Thanks for that! I've been keeping it as Maine. This is even better!

K (billielitetiger) | 43 comments Ima recycle "Mother of Strangers" by Suad Amiry bc it sounds interesting, didn't win last month but Ima read it anyway.----"The Berry Pickers" in bigly demand at local libraries!

Gail (gailifer) | 247 comments Yes, I am going to read Mothers of Strangers also. It looked so interesting. I am on a very long wait list for The Berry Pickers. Maybe I should break down and purchase.

Gail, do you want to stew on that a little for a recommendation and let me know? Thanks!

Amanda Dawn | 275 comments ...DID SOMEONE SAY NOVA SCOTIA? One of our main characteristics is being stoked when we are mentioned lol. That book sounds great, and it has been a minute since I've read something from my home province. will def read if chosen.

I'll toss in Sightseeing (Thailand) if there are still enough noms to fill (no bigs if not).

I'm going to be travelling tomorrow, going back home to "babysit" Dad after getting out of the hospital. Not sure when I can get back in. So I'll set up the poll tonight. Gail, I'm going to add in Marriage of Opposites as well.

Gail (gailifer) | 247 comments Hope your Dad is well soon and yes, might as well throw Marriage of Opposites in there although I will probably vote for Berry Pickers!!

Poll is up and ready.

Thanks, Gail. He's definitely doing better than he was. Was hospitalized for complications from the flu even with the flu shot! Still having breathing issues but he's a trooper.

Well. 2 votes for The Berry Pickers. 1 each for Mothers of Strangers and Sightseeing.

I've set up another poll with three options for the second read:
* Mothers of Strangers
* Sightseeing
* Keep all three and read whichever you want.

Again, only 4 of us voted.

"Keep all three (books) and read whichever you want" for the second book.

Plus

Berry Pickers.

Whew.


message 14: by Gail (new)

Gail (gailifer) | 247 comments Great. I just finished Mother of Strangers so I should have time to read the other two by the end of April. I will post a short review once the review string gets posted here.

Amanda Dawn | 275 comments Sounds good to me :) I'll be reading at least 2.
