Books and Jams Readalong discussion

Hello friends,

Who will be joining in with The Dream Daughter by Diane Chamberlain this month? I know it might be a bit harder to get ahold of this one. I know my Hoopla app (through my library) has it available and it was recently a Kindle deal for just $2.99. I hope many of you are able to get it and read along this month.

I know the past 6 weeks or so have introduced a new (hopefully temporary) normal to our lives. I hope and pray you're all well and safe and healthy. I'd love to hear how you're doing. I'd also love to hear a highlight for you from the past 6 weeks. Maybe something you've been able to do that you were putting off, or a friend you've reconnected with, a way you've helped others, or just that you've stayed sane with extra littles at home all day. Let's hear some positivity from the past few weeks.

Looking forward to reading with you all!

I’ll be joining in for this book I may found it on audible so I will be listening to it on Audiobook.

I am definitely joining this month! I’ve seen a few reviews of this book by other booktubers who have loved it, so I’m super excited

Being part of the “at risk group,” this time has been so frustrating. I’m lucky enough, however, to share a home with my daughter and her family, which includes three grandsons. Sometimes a blessing; sometimes a curse. It’s always LOUD! Lol. But it has been such a great opportunity to work with the two younger boys (ages 4 and 20 months) to learn new things. And the 8 year old is an avid reader so have been able to share and discuss books with him.

Thanks again for the book club, Krista! A great getaway!

I will be joining in! I've had this book for about a year 🤦‍♀️ it's about time I picked it up, lol!

This book was on some local libraries' Libby app (or Overdrive) and the unabridged audio version and digital book are available on Scribd, too. This was one of my top 3 favorite books last year. I may join along this time and read it again, because I really did enjoy it so much.

I am also in. It was also on sale on Amazon Turkey for $3.45. Thanks Krista for reminding me to look at it.
I really wanted to read this book because I heard so many good things about Diane Chamberlain books and how they would be perfect fit for me. Now we will see if they were right ;)
I am working only once or twice a week so I also spend days at home. I live with my parents but they are not permitted to go out because they are high risk group because of their age. So I do the grocery etc. shopping in every two days. I workout at home more frequent than usual, read almost the same amount and watch some TV series.
I also watch & connect with my Booktube friends more often than usual. My recommended books list getting huge every day :)

I'll be joining for Dream Daughter as soon as my ebook copy is ready from the library. It says it will be 4 weeks...so.. hopefully sooner than that though as I have sworn off buying any new books for now... if I don't get it in time I will read in whenever I get it...

Me, me, me!!! I picked up a hardcover copy of this off the bargain table at Barnes & Noble a while ago. It's just been sitting there waiting for me to pick it up. I'm looking forward to reading and chatting with everyone about it. This will be my first Diane Chamberlain book, though I do own a few of her other works.
Happy reading, everyone!!

Hi Krista and the rest of you. I just checked at my library and I can get the book on my kindle easily.

This past week has been a good one. I became a great grandma again on April 29th. I made May baskets this week and today I delivered them to my neighbors, some shut-ins and some of my grandkids. This was so rewarding for me. I highly recommend doing some little act of kindness for someone if you can. You will be the one who is blessed.

Hi!! I just got this on sale on amazon, so I’ll be joining in.

I'm in! I took advantage of the Kindle deal Krista mentioned.

Been working from home so it's been hard. A highlight is my nephew being born during this time. He was born 3 months early, weighing 2 lbs, 7 oz but is doing so well. He continues to grow stronger everyday. We hope he gets to come home soon...maybe by Mother's day.

I’m in.
Steph

Hi everyone! I found our book available on Overdrive.

I have found some joy in the stillness brought on by the pandemic. Usually the kids have activities every afternoon, and I have to rush to get out the door and rush to get dinner on the table. No more! I am also looking forward to a possible change of pace in my career. My ER has been unusually slow, so I cannot get any hours. I have applied to a few additional positions in home health. It will be fun to explore.

I will be joining in this month. I picked this up in one of my many Book Outlet orders several months ago so its been on my shelf for a bit. Looking forward to reading it. This will be my sixth Diane Chamberlain novel I've read. All her others have been favorites of mine and she's pretty much an "auto buy" author for me. This book also satisfies two prompts for the "Quarantineathon" I'm participating in on Booktube so that is perfect!

I am really trying to join this month. I always have it on my list but I never end up getting to this selection, but whenever I do, I love the books so this month I am really really trying

I had already added The Dream Daughter to my May TBR, so I was excited to have people to talk with about it! During Ohio’s stay at home order, I have loved the extra family time we’ve been getting. We’ve been doing things together that we normally don’t make time for. I hope some of this can carry over once “real life” starts again.

I’m in. I just got the Ebook from my library.

Just got the book on hold yesterday! Perfect timing-

I am a librarian for a public library. We have been closed to the public, offering curbside pick up of holds, since the end of March. As of May 1 our main library is now open for limited service. I've been working the whole time (and feel lucky for that) so it hasn't been as big of a change for me, simply because I am out of my house every day and interacting with other library staff members.

My book is on the way. For real this month. Should be here by Monday at the latest!

I wish our library was able to have things processed. I especially miss my book club.

I’m joining in. Have heard so many good reviews about this book so I am looking forward to reading it.

this book amazing new author for me well read more of her it was a can not but down book
