Discuss the book here!! Use spoiler tags if necessary

Oohhh cool!

Yes! Very happy!🤩 I hope Lily has seen this… She and I are big fans of this trilogy.

What is the name of the author?

@Clare—RJ Anderson

I’ve officially requested the book through my library!

Thank you!

yeah, I simply can't find it in my library 🫤🤷🏽‍♀️

Oh, bummer, Clare.😢 I wish I could say the kindle edition was on sale, but I looked yesterday, and it was $8. Can you request your library to buy it? My library isn’t very good about that, but other libraries are.

I just reserved Swift from the library 👍

No, I couldn't even find much less reguest them to buy. I would type in the title and the author, but the only thing it would show was baywatch🤣🤷🏽‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Clare, to request it you don't search the catalogue, there should be a place on the library website, or you could do it in person, to put in an author's name and the book title, and what format you want it in. At least that's how my library works.

I requested it!! I have a lot of books in line though to read, so we’ll see if I get to this soon. 😅

Yeah, I did that. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I got a lot of Taylor Swift from my library 😂 I don't think I'm going to be able to get ahold of a copy, but I'll keep seeing if I can download a different library app or something...

@Sharon I'm so glad for you both! I know you've been nominating it for a while now and it looks so good!

@Angela, yes! There are tons of other titles with the word “swift” in them, including a lot of Taylor Swift stuff.😅

I am actually surprised that my library has it since it seems so many others don’t. They aren’t good about shelving books from smaller publishers, much less publishers with Christian morals. I really didn’t expect this book to be hard to get.🤷‍♀️

I have definitely wanted it to get chosen for a while now, but if most people won’t be able to get it, it won’t be nearly as much fun.😢

🚨🚨 Hi guys! So a new rule we added is that IF YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE BOTM YOU GET TO ADD +30 POINTS TO THE ADDITIONAL OG SCORING.

So for this month, since swift was the winner, it would normally be 20 points, but with the additional 30 points it’s now 50 POINTS!!

We hope this increases motivation/participation in the botm! Lemme know if you guys have any questions! 🚨🚨

I just put Swift on hold! Hopefully it comes in soon!

I hope so, Jazzie!

I just finished, and loved it once again, but the next two books are even better than Swift, so I am itching to keep going with Nomad.

I really want to read it but I can't find it on Libby or any of the other online libraries I use :( I'll check with my local Library when I get the chance tho!

I hope they have it, Sophie!

fingers crossed!

@Sharon exactly!! Discussing it with friends is the cherry on top!

I'm still working on Scorpio races😅 so even though that was in November does it still count?

lol well we just started it for this year and mostly everyone already added their points, so unfortunately, no

Ok. Does that mean that in the future we can?

Idk if I'll be reading this one... I still need to work out what all I'm reading this month lol. And there's the matter of only being able to get it through Hoopla, which means I can't download it to Kindle...

That's a bummer that Hoopla isn't compatible with Kindle. I can only get audiobooks from Hoopla, so I never noticed.

I hope you're able to, Lizzy! It's a great series.

Yes

I didn't find it there :( I think I might go to the Barboursville Public Library and see if it's there

Wow! You must feel good about that!🤩

😂😂 she finished in a day!!

As opposed to the 1.5 months it takes me 💀💀

I feel sooo good! I’m on a book high right now, so watch me crash in about a month and not read a book for like a month. 😂

I’m surprised myself I read it in a day 😂

You can do it Tazzzz! If not, I’ll be right beside you again next month 😂

Haha thats amazing Ellie!!

Go Ellie!!

My hold came in yesterday, so I picked Swift up earlier today when I went to the library, and I'm starting it now!!

Awesome, Jazzie! I hope you like it!

Thanks, Sharon! I hope I do, too!

I’m on a book high too!

I was happy to see my library carried it, but only on Hoopla. It's funny how the different library apps have different books..

Yeah it is so weird!!

Just finished! I’ll add some thoughts soon, but I enjoyed this one!

I picked up the book yesterday, and I'm halfway through. This is my first time participating. Do I finish the books and answer the questions or prompts in the other threads?

As far as the library apps go, it just depends on which books (ebooks or audio) that your library purchases and makes available on those apps. And how many licenses they purchase. My huge library only bought 2 licenses for Wind and Truth, which meant a very long wait for those who didn’t jump to get in line as soon as it was available. I jumped the moment I got the notification that it was available, and I was still 12th in line.

@Tori— for this thread, you can make comments as you go, just be careful of spoilers for readers who are behind you. For the Questions thread, you wait to do the question until after you finish the book. The Activities thread is unique in that it depends on what activity you do. You can do the fan art, playlists, etc before you are done, but the review would be after you finish. You can just link your review, you don’t have to write it in that post. I think I already linked mine, so you should be able to see how I did it. I am so glad you joined in!😍
