Trisha | 1966 comments oooh that's a great box of goodies!! I skipped the memoir but will be curious to see what you think!


message 7: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 508 comments Why are the October books not on my PC? Only September's are there, but they're on the mobile app. Makes no sense. I like to view them larger.

Trisha | 1966 comments I picked Hazelthorn by C.G. Drews The Second Chance Cinema by Thea Weiss Flat Earth by Anika Jade Levy

I already have
The Haunting of Paynes Hollow & The Book of Guilt so I didn't order those. . .

I had been hoping for some more mysteries and/or spooky halloween reads but I was glad they ended up with a few!

YES! I noticed this too! I have no idea why they haven't updated the website yet but the app is fully updated with the new books!


Michelle's Empty Nest (mlundy5) | 4 comments That is odd. Mine are on the website for October, but I did have to refresh a couple of times.


I wasn't super excited about any of the books for October, but I did go ahead and get The Second Chance Cinema by Thea Weiss and Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall .

that's so odd! Mine STILL shows September books. I wonder if I need to clear cookies and then reload. . .

I hope you love your picks!!

Red City was tempting because of those pretty edges! I hope you love it!

It's a metal thingy like the thor hammer we got last year. I thought it was weird, but my husband thought it looked cool on my bookcase. So i guess that's what I'll do with this years prize....


message 31: by Ilsen (new)

Ilsen | 49 comments I never responded but I ended up getting Never Over by Clare Gilmore as my pick because I came back from Nashville and I like the romances from BOTM! I also got the book hats so I’m excited! Although I should have added The Academy by Elin Hilderbrand because I’ve been intrigued by it but I don’t know, I’m running out of shelf space XD

running out of shelf space is definitely a common problem! 🤣😂


message 33: by Ilsen (new)

Ilsen | 49 comments Absolutely, I’m thinking of going on pause for BOTM not just because of the picks but even if I do like the picks, I don’t have enough space or enough time to read it all! I’m still thinking about it though.


message 34: by Allison (new)

Allison (im2white) | 1 comments I picked The Ten Year Affair by Erin Somers and I am so excited to read it!
