Is anyone else reading The Women by Kristin Hannah this week? It was released on Tuesday. It is so engrossing. I have about 80 pages left and don't want it to end.
It's about a nurse who volunteered for the Army and did two tours in Vietnam. The first part of the book is about her experience there. The second part is about her experience coming home and dealing with the PTSD, flashbacks, and lack of support, especially for female veterans.
Are you reading? Let's discuss!!

This is a BOTM choice this month. I was trying to decide between this and The Heartless Hunter. I figure the KH book will be on Everand soon. And I might not be able to get the other choice. Good to know that The Women is good. I am really looking forward to it.

I’m 52nd of 207 in line. Oddly enough, I started at 69th in line. How the heck did 3 others jump ahead of me? It’s supposed to be in order of reservations.

I just went to my library to see if it was available. I was able to get in line for it. But I saw this when I was looking at my place - Your holds position: #84 on 5 copies
Note:Some copies of this title belong to specific member libraries, and their users are given priority for holds on those copies. For this reason, users may jump forward or move backward on the wait list, so we can't accurately estimate wait timeI wonder if this may be the case at your library? |

She’s a must-buy for me so it was delivered the day it came out. I started it last night when I went to bed but I was very tired and didn’t get very far. Enjoying it so far though!

Stephanie Howell (she used to be a member here....but I think she deleted her profile?) was just posting about this book on her Book Tik Tok account. I get tons of recommendations from her -- but to see you all like it as well is making me go find it asap.

I managed to get on the library waiting list early for the ebook and I'm only 7th in line. Hopefully they will buy another copy if the demand is high.

I used an audible credit for this book since I have another three weeks to wait to read. I her books and have heard only great reviews!
I follow Stephanie on tik tok, Instagram and her fb page! I love her reviews and how she reviews the books that capture her heart. Love her fb page too, a great place to find reviews and discuss books.

I like her recommendations too and it’s been fun to watch her girls grow up and their travels as a military family. I only follow her on Instagram because I’m not much of a TikToker. 😄 |

She's going to have a lot of new followers! I started following her too! On instagram and facebook, I'm not a tik toker either.

That’s right. I was looking for her full name. Either way, I love her TT account and the books she recommends. I swear I have a list a mile long that I want to read now. |

I got it in my BOTM box and I'll start next week. This weekend is kind of swamped with activity, but I may manage to sneak in a few chapters tonight.
You guys just influenced me to find Stephanie on tiktok. Ha!

I put a hold on it last night (the kindle version) and it said “several months wait” which I thought was interesting. Usually it says more like 16 weeks, etc. But at this time it looks like there is only one copy so hopefully they will get more. |
