Welcome to December 2020!

If you wish to have a buddy choose a book from your SBC bookshelf, please comment below with the amount of books you wish to have picked out for you.

I will pair you with your Buddy using Random.org.

Rules-ish:

You will need to create a bookshelf marked Stitcher’s bookclub TBR or SBC TBR on Goodreads. Put books on it that you can read in December.


PARTICIPANTS:

Bonnie - 1 book
Tracey - 1 book
Janice - 1 book

Janice Boychuk (janice_boychuk) | 237 comments Hello ladies! I’m still not finished my second November book, but what the heck, count me in for one! 😇💕

Tracey Allen at Carpe Librum (carpelibrum) | 1257 comments Hi guys, like Janice, I'm still reading my November buddy pick, but sign me up for December. I'd love to take part again.

Noted x

I'll give the ladies a few more days to sign up and for you both to finish your buddy pick (I failed miserably about reading a book so I've left all of them on my SBC shelf for december - i'll be adding more too).

Tracey Allen at Carpe Librum (carpelibrum) | 1257 comments Last night I finished reading my November buddy pick (Hideout by Jack Heath) and absolutely loved it. It’ll be a five star review from me so I’m definitely ready for our December picks.

Tracey Allen at Carpe Librum (carpelibrum) | 1257 comments Thanks for the announcement Bonnie, I'm very excited to see all the buddy picks!

Jenny, I choose Her Outback Secret by Kristy Taylor for you this month. You've had this on your TBR for quite a while now, so hopefully you'll enjoy picking it up for this challenge. I like the fact that Kristy is an Australian author and I'm hoping you enjoy this romance novel in the month of December.

Jenny (diggensjenny) | 133 comments Janice, I choose the following book for you:

Down River by John Hart

Janice, you had this book on your TBR since 2013. The book is still in print. I hope you enjoy reading this book.

Tracey, I have found the perfect book for you. It has the weirdest plot ever: a mystical scheme to create the world’s perfect font! Just awesome.

I choose for you: Death of a Typographer by Nick Gadd.

Happy Reading xxx

Thanks Bonnie, I'm looking forward to an excuse to prioritise this one. My husband gave it to me for Xmas last year, so it's about time I got to it. Hopefully it'll be a lot of fun 😃

Janice Boychuk (janice_boychuk) | 237 comments Great pick Jenny! I’ve been reading a lot fluff books lately, so any reason to delve in to a good murder mystery (and one that has been on my TBR for far too long) is 👍🏻👍🏻! 🤗🥰


message 14: by Janice (new)

Janice Boychuk (janice_boychuk) | 237 comments Bonnie I choose “The Christmas Killer” by Alex Pine... seeing as it’s that time of year, and a new series! Hope it’s good 🥰⭐️


Purple Bookish Frog (Bonnie) (purplebookishfrog) | 688 comments Mod
Thank you so much. I’ve been wanting to read that for ages. It’s an arc from Netgalley and I really ought to read it and review it really soon.

I think I may be one of the worst admins ever. I struggle to read a book a month.

But I do want to keep having y'all pick books for me just in case I get to them.

So, if I'm not too late, pick for me please :D

Just realised nobody picked for you so I’ll happily oblige 😃 I choose For Whom the Book Tolls as your buddy pick as it has the least number of pages (264) and is the first book in a series. Good luck!

Tracey Allen at Carpe Librum (carpelibrum) | 1257 comments Hooray, I just finished reading my buddy pick Death of a Typographer. How’s everyone else going?


message 20: by Janice (new)

Janice Boychuk (janice_boychuk) | 237 comments Hey Tracey! I’m about 1/2 way through my December book Down River... good so far but I got distracted by some other ones that cane thorough on Overdrive- my husband can’t understand how I can keep track reading half dozen books at a time but somehow i do and love the variety! 🤪💕


Purple Bookish Frog (Bonnie) (purplebookishfrog) | 688 comments Mod
I’m sorry I totally lost the plot with my December pic. I’ll post for January now.


message 22: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (diggensjenny) | 133 comments I agree, Bonnie. I also lost the plot for December.


Tracey won this month. Congratulations, Tracey


message 23: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (diggensjenny) | 133 comments I everyone.

If it OK with, Bonnie and Eden.

No one nominated books for Jan - Feb BOTM reads.

We could put up the buddy picks at the top of the home pages.

Has anyone else got any ideas?

Hi Jenny!
I did nominate books for this round and was planning on making it free choice round because of it just being me.

The buddy picks would work instead but there would be quite a few books. I don’t have an issue with that personally. Whatever you all think is fine by me as far as that goes.


message 25: by Eden (new)

Eden | 1098 comments Mod
But they would be January buddy picks i think


message 26: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (diggensjenny) | 133 comments No Problem, Eden! What ever you decide is OK with me!


Purple Bookish Frog (Bonnie) (purplebookishfrog) | 688 comments Mod
Im posting the January buddy picks post now. I’m happy to nominate some books for the BOTM. I’ll have a look at what I’ve got in my shelves x


Purple Bookish Frog (Bonnie) (purplebookishfrog) | 688 comments Mod
But of course if you think it best to put the buddy pick books up instead I’m cool with that. Off to look at books!

Just tell your hubby that it’s easy to keep track of multiple tv shows and it’s the same with books!

It happens Bonnie, don’t worry about it. Count me in for January, I’ll go and sign up right away.

And I don’t mind at all which books are highlighted at the top. Happy for others to choose 😃
