Hey everyone! Keeping up with how we organized this month's rec post on ONTD (with book recs by continent), this thread is for everyone to discuss the books they've chosen to read by Oceanic authors (remember - only women whom you've never read anything by before).

Tell us which book you've chosen, what it's about, whether you liked it and would rec it, etc. You can also use this topic to ask for more recs!

Keeping up with how we organized this month's rec post on ONTD (with book recs by continent), this thread is for everyone to discuss the books they've chosen to read by American authors (remember - only women whom you've never read anything by before).

Yeah, I was thinking about the discussion posts for this month - I don't know if there's going to be much overlap with everyone's choices cause it's such an open theme, so do you guys want to maybe do one discussion post for each continent?

Let us know how your reading went this month, if you had trouble completing this month's task, if you enjoyed the book you read and whether you'd recommend it!

Welcome Sascha!! I hope you have fun with this month's theme, and join us for the next months as well!

And here is this month's rec post on ONTD!! Featuring women authors from all over the world!

OMG, Assassin's Apprentice. I love that book SO MUCH.

BTW, Rachel and I are preparing a special rec post for this month so stay tuned!!

Lucie wrote: "I did finished Fight Club though... don't suppose that could count for this month? Would Tyler Durden count as an imposter?."

Hmmm no, I don't think so...

Also - heads up if anyone is still looking for a book to read. I just picked up Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson and it fits this month's theme. There are impostors and an identity thief. I haven't finished it yet but I'm really enjoying it. It's a bit of The Lies of Locke Lamorra meets the jacobins, with magic.

I think that does count, Alyssa ;)

I read Republic of Thieves (Gentlemen Bastards #3) by Scott Lynch this month. It was not great. It was definitely missing the fun from the first two books in the series, but I'm glad I crossed it off my TBR and am all caught up with the series. Hopefully the next one will be better!

Could be the translation, too (I imagine you're reading in English?).

Courtney wrote: "I decided to go with The Count of Monte Cristo and I am regretting that decision only fifty pages in. Oop@me"

why? is it boring? I was about to pick it up but I don't feel like I can commit to that big-ass book right now lol

Juliana wrote: "Does The Wolf of Wall Street count? I want to read The Woman Who Wasn't There: The True Story of an Incredible Deception but I'm having trouble finding an available copy."

ummm, I'm gonna go with a no on The Wolf of Wall Street... since it is more about Wall Street crimes?

Congratulations on getting all the letters, Eve!!

We have regular book posts on ONTD and they are a great way of finding new books to read. It can be something recommended in the post itself, or a book that an ONTDer says they liked, or you can ask for more specific recs in the comments!

Let us know how your reading went this month, if you had trouble completing this month's task, if you enjoyed the book you read and whether you'd recommend it!
