Governerd Fall Fun discussion

Sorry for being the weirdo who friended/followed everyone in the group, lol. My logic was the more people I follow, the more exposure I have to books I may want to read and since books are my happy place, it totally made sense in my mind before I thought about how creepy it may make me look! haha.

Carry on, and have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Not creepy. I certainly had the same thought. ☺️

I didn’t think creepy just friendly. We are both governerds, after all.

I should have known my fellow governerds would understand! 🥰 I’m definitely guilty of worrying too much sometimes! 😂

Thanks for the friend request, always great to connect with Governerds

Anyone else ever pre-order a book, forget that you did, and then have a pleasant surprise when you see it in your kindle!? 😂😂 Went to buy the book Sharon recommended yesterday and realized, I already had 🙈🙈🙈

Anyone else a prime member that takes advantage of First Reads? We get to pick two books this month and I’m having such a hard time deciding!

What is first reads? I am a Prime Member.

You get a free early release kindle book every month! (Sometimes two!) they usually have 10 you can choose from of varying genres. I like it because it gives me the chance to find new authors!

If you Google “Amazon first reads” they page with the selections should come up. I don’t remember if I had to activate it as a part of my membership or not though.

Cool, thank you.

Yes! I've picked one, but can't decide for the other one!!

I ended up picking the psychological thriller and the memoir because I really am a sucker for those two genres 😂😂 But I could have easily picked two more!

I picked Her Perfect Family and Flight Risk. I have SO many TBR books that I’ll never get through them all!

Do any of you listen to the podcast What Should I Read Next? It’s amazing.

I listen occasionally. The host lives right down the street from me in one of my favorite houses in the neighborhood. I wasn't familiar with her until she hosted a book event with Liane Moriarty for our local bookstore.

Oh wow! I have listened on and off for a few years ever since it started. I’m always adding to my TBR after listening and seriously wondering how I’d ever choose 3 books!

Seriously, I feel so stupid. It has taken me weeks to figure out how to post. What’s the Dirt book Sharon was talking about?

Anyone ever feel the need to “declutter” their want to read shelf? 😂 I started to, and it’s so interesting to see the evolution of my reading preferences from when I first joined goodreads in 2013 to now 😂😂

Marcy… thanks for the podcast suggestion! I added it to my queve… idk how if ever pick 3 books either 😬

Monite… it’s Dirt by Mary Marantz! It was on sale on kindle a couple of weeks ago, so I picked it up but haven’t started it yet!
