I don't read a lot of historical non-fiction or fiction, admittedly. I am not sure why, but this month I am tackling the novel Lady Clementine. It's a book of the month in one of my groups and it does sound interesting. I'll report back on it with a review once I've read it lol

By the way, Shannon Hale's graphic novels (as mentioned above) sound great. As a child of the 80's myself, I might have to look them up.

You're welcome :)

I am going to play this game beginning this September because I wasn't a member of this lovely group last year. I came up with a BINGO card even to go with it. I invite anyone to use this card as well, if they'd like. Enjoy!

I have not read a lot of sci-fi, to be honest. It's never been my favorite genre, but I do like some dystopia. I'd like to finish the The Maze Runner series which I started awhile ago. I think I'll make that my goal for August :)

Awesome! Thank you for replying. I have this book so hopefully I can read it for the challenge.

Is Shadow and Bone the first book that starts the whole universe? I want to read them in order and I've heard such good things about Bardugo's books.

Thanks. I love L.M. Montgomery too!

I just landed on Partner Pick in my Bookopoly game. Can someone help me pick a book from these? Thank you!

Thanks!!

I am sad to say I haven't read a lot of fantasy books. I am not sure why as I liked the Harry Potter movies. Anyway, this will be a good challenge for me. I think in April, I'll try out either of these books:

or

They both sound good.

Excited for this one! It's been on my bookshelf collecting dust for at least 10 years! lol Now I can tackle it. TY for the opportunity. Looking forward to the discussion :)

I read the first Harper Connelly mystery a while back and enjoyed it very much. I keep meaning to read the rest of the series but I am easily distracted lol
