Book of the Month May 2024: Pick or Pass? + Prediction Recap

[@sarahbarden4135]

I am also from the PNW and am loving all these new thrillers that are coming out in this setting! I did get The Return of Elle Black, and I do need to pick up Middletide next month.

I really like this wrap up style! I picked the Christina Lauren as well as Middletide.

I just picked up The Ministry of Time this month, but I was also intrigued by Emiko Jean’s and Rachel Khong’s books

[@LizzieMcGuire-ml9ww]

I got the Return of Ellie Black and also The Ministry of Time. I have high hopes for them, so fingers crossed!

[@jeanninethompson6243]

I got middletide and will wait to hear reviews on Christina Lauren’s book. Erick Larson might be an add on to a future book.

Love this new style for the wrap up. I went with the Christina Lauren, Emiko Jean, and Eric Larson books. I agree that The Devil in The White City could be quite dry - the architect chapters in particular, but if you pushed through, the two timelines came together spectacularly. I’m interested in what he can do with a Civil War book.

I ended up picking Real Americans and The Ministry of Time!

I chose The Paradise Problem. I'm giving Christina Lauren one or two more chances to see if they are an author I want to continue with.

I’ve been watching for this video from you. I picked Real Americans, Middletide to share with my mom and Erik Larsen for my dad.

[@RescuesandReads]

Thank you!! I hope you enjoyed! The Erik Larsen book does seem like a perfect Dad book

[@elizabethandrus3848]

I chose Real Americans and The Paradise Problem. The first I know I will like, the romance.... not my favorite genre; but I thought I would give it a try. I am looking forward to your Middletide review and thoughts on crime stories. I haven't read that genre yet. Thanks so much for sharing! Elizabeth

[@RescuesandReads]

I definitely enjoy a well plotted crime novel. Hopefully this one is as good as I think it will be!

[@theeellebee]

I picked The Return Of Ellie Black and The Husbands from last month as an add on. I want to read some reviews for The Paradise Problem before I pick it up. I feel like Christina Lauren has become one of those authors where every book is the same now

[@RescuesandReads]

I am always reticent about authors who pump out books so quickly like they do.

[@Lululovespatches]

I got The Return Of Ellie Black and Kill For Me, Kill For You. I enjoyed your video!

[@RescuesandReads]

Kill for Me, Kill for You was really good!

[@Laura_Reads]

Middletide sounds so good!!

[@alisonshovan4289]

Love the BOTM selection recaps!

[@RescuesandReads]
