Meeting ID: 259 312 051
In the silent book club everyone brings their own book or E-reader and reads together quietly for an hour, then we all nerd out about books afterward.
We kick off the meeting with a quick round of introductions where everyone says their name and a little about what they're reading. We love hearing about what people are reading (often in their other book clubs).

Or if I can't read it because either the type is too danged small for me to see and decipher or it's in a language like Flemish (which I can't read to BEGIN with) and there's no freaking English translation available... .
In other words, far too often.
The situation I spoke of where the font was too small to read or decipher AND it was in Flemish really did happen to me.
The aforementioned book in Flemish had also been published in the 1930s, but was in pretty damn good condition for a book that old...90+ years old!
I got an audiobook from Netgalley and of course they do not let me get a sample of the narrator. I barely got through 2 hours of the over acting, over pronouncing of every syllable. It was awful. I feel like if they gave me the book to read, it might be actually decent.

I tried that. Couldn't get to the message form without asking her to be a Friend.
Amber wrote: "What was the name of the book?"
Sorry the late response, I did not see your message. I have a bad habit of not looking at the group on my app and only go on the group when on a computer.
I was at Barnes and Noble just today and saw this book was in the newly released table so I hope for those reading the novel, its better than my audiobook experience!
It happens, Lesley. I have a smartphone but removed my Goodreads app when I could no longer remember my original password...not to mention that I only get 4.5GB of data a month and Belleville, IL. has very few places with FREE WiFi that DON'T require passwords... .
Hello Everyone, Can someone come up with a group theme for November 2021? It will be so valuable to me. Enjoy Reading, 📚

I’ve always loved reading books where the hero fights against the odds and somehow manages to win, maybe that’s why thrillers and epic novels are my top picks. In the same way, when I’m not diving into a good story, I’ve found myself playing online and https://pickem-mongolia.com/review/me...turned into a surprising favorite. Living in Mongolia, where long winters make you search for something engaging indoors, I noticed that the sense of victory in Melbet feels similar to finishing a great novel—you carry that small spark of triumph with you, and it keeps you motivated for the next challenge.
Hello Everyone,Introducing the first in a new paranormal crime mystery series set in 1980s, New York City on Wall Street
Clive January is a driven, self-made Black man, a ruthless, wildly successful investment banker who had it all - until he is shot and killed from behind by an unknown assailant. As Clive lies in a pool of blood, his life slowly ebbing away, he hears voices, unearthly beings tormenting him, telling him that he will burn in hell, unless he finds out who killed him. Now before it's too late, his ghost must solve the crime of his own murder and his only choice is to work with the white racist cop assigned to his case, Detective Bob Greene.
Their relationship begins in hate and distrust, but soon they each realize that they have more in common than they could ever believe. And in the wrenching ending, they discover the truth that frees them both.
