Oops! :D

It's time to think about themes that you'd like to explore in March. I'm not sure what happened to February, but we're running out of days to decide!

Nominations will be open until Thursday, Feb 23rd, and then we'll have a poll through the weekend.

When I read bundles, I still add each of the books separately on Goodreads, especially since I don't always read them all at once. That means I don't add the exact edition that I read, but it feels more accurate to me.

Well done everyone. I hope you found some good authors to follow.

Nice work, Jenny!

Wow Rosemarie, nice work!

Snow days are such a special treat, Renee - enjoy! We're expecting temps close to 70 here in Colorado today. It feels more like Spring than Winter!

Nope, just count the pages for the edition you're reading! We have plenty of ebook and audio readers here and don't discriminate. :)

I think Fated by Benedict Jacka might work for this.

Ha! I like it! :D

"Valentine's Day" is our chosen theme for February. You may read any book, fiction or nonfiction, that relates to either romance or saints.

What will you be reading? Any suggestions?

It's interesting to hear that the Bell Jar might not be so depressing as I've heard. Maybe I'll actually consider reading it some day.

And Rosemarie - yes! What kind of time warp are we in?

One of mine too!

Thanks for the recommendation, Jenny. I haven't heard of him before so I'll definitely check out his books.

It felt really long to me (didn't realize it was a doorstopper at first, reading on my e-reader!). It felt like the rebellion just kept going and going. I thought it was going to be the end, and then things kept getting worse instead of better. So other than that, I liked it. I did like how all the different stories wrapped up.

I read this recently too, Amber. What did you think?

Based on the poll, our theme will be Valentine's Day (Saints/Romance).

Ok, we'll see how it goes! Definitely later in the year if so.

Canada's got the right idea, Rosemarie. We really need a holiday in February!

I could possibly be persuaded to do W&P this year, especially if anyone is interested in a buddy read.
