I definitely want both the last word and your truly, I think I am going to go with the last word and order yours truly with indigo for the aesthetic as I have the first book in paperback as book of the month wasn’t in Canada back then 😊
I was terrible this month! I got Truly Yours, The Love Experiment and Did You Hear About Kitty Karr? The I signed up for Aardvark book club and got Swamp Thing and Chain-Gang All-stars. 🤪🤷🤦
The Last Word did sound interesting but .... I have a hard time reading books that make me actually trip out and start thinking that something is going to happen to me in real life LOL that's why I love fantasy and fairytales 😆
I was so excited The Last Word was an option and since it’s been on my wishlist for a while now I snagged it for myself. I didn’t have the money to do add ons this time around but The True Love Experiment sounded interesting. I might grab it next go around.
I hope you enjoy The Last Word! It sounds like it’s going to be fantastic! If you pick up The True Love Experiment, I’d love to hear how you like it once you have a chance to read it 😁
I always look forward to these videos! And it’s so funny that you mentioned you have a golden retriever…. I selected The Last Word as my pick for this month because I also have a golden retriever!! 🤭🤗
I skipped last month and would also skip this month (haven't liked any of the main 5-7 options in April or May), BUT there are two add-ons that I really want so I'm just choosing the alternative "member fave".. add-ons are Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstances (fantasy/fairytale) and Practical Magic (witchy fantasy) and my BOTM will be Babel. As long as I don't feel like Babel is trying to lecture me, it should be alright..
Haha I have heard that a lot about Babel. I have it on my shelf but have been too intimidated to pick it up. I’d love your thoughts on it once you read it! Hope you enjoy all of your picks! 😁
I honestly wanted every book this month. I chose The Collected Regrets of Clover (fyi, death doula is absolutely a real job...I personally know two of them 👍), The Last Word, and Yours Truly. I really hope they decide to implement the 5 book limit that they beta tested with some members a couple months ago.
That’s neat! You learn something new every day… haha Speaking of learning new things, I didn’t realize they were beta testing a 5 book limit! That is dangerous! Haha Hope you enjoy all of your picks! 😁
They all looked good. I went with The Last Word and The Collected Regrets of Clover. I have elderly parents and sadly death is on our minds so I’m interested in this transition and time of life. Anything to help me understand how they may be feeling. Jodi Picoult’s The Book of Two Ways features a death doula as well. Always enjoy these videos. It’s a fun day of the month! Now on to the blue box! I read Hang the Moon last month. It was ok but I was a little disappointed. A three star. What are you selecting or did I miss that?
That is really kind and thoughtful of you. I know it can be a difficult thing to think about. I chose The Last Word this month! I didn’t mention it at the end of the video so that was my mistake! I hope you enjoy both of your picks! 😁
I think for BOTM I’m going to choose The Last Word and maybe do Did You Hear About Kitty Karr as an add on. For aardvark I was thinking of grabbing The Perfect Ones and adding on Swamp Story. 😅
I know what you mean! Lately, anytime I buy a new book, I feel a little pang of guilt for the entire shelf of unread books I already own 😆 Was definitely bummed to see yours truly as an option!

That sounds like a great idea! I hope you enjoy both books! 😁
You should maybe show the new add-ons also. Just saying
Thank you, Ruth! I actually intended to do that but forgot 😆 Hopefully next month!

Haha that sounds like a great haul! I hope you enjoy all your picks!
I am with Aardvark too. I selected three books: Chain Gang All Stars (wow what a premise), The Perfect Ones and House of Eve .
The Last Word did sound interesting but .... I have a hard time reading books that make me actually trip out and start thinking that something is going to happen to me in real life LOL that's why I love fantasy and fairytales 😆
Lol I don’t blame you! I love fantasy for the escapism as well 😁
Your fur baby is adorable! I'm thinking of getting The Last Word. Did You Hear About Kitty Karr? sounds good too. Enjoyed your video! Happy reading
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy whichever book(s) you choose! 😁

@@dylancanread thanks! Yes I will share my thoughts. Planning on reading it this month for AAPI Heritage Month (Asian American & Pacific Islander) ☺

Yes a Death Doula is a real thing... think like a midwife but for death. (And yes you pronounced it right 👍🏻)
What a unique career!
I might skip… I have too many books still to read. I’m bummed I already bought Yours Truly also! Otherwise I would’ve picked that.

it’s may! 😋
LOL thank you! 😂 just fixed it.
