, Nicole D. Collier, 1/31 Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...So, finished all my January Books and 3 from 2021. When I review a lot, suddenly books I put in from months ago will get approved. So, this morning, 1/28, I got approved for
, which I really wanted and
, Pub: 3/1, which I really don’t want with all the other books. I am not on pre-approval, so can get easily backlogged with too many books. Thanks for doing this. It really helps me look at my books and remind myself to only have 2 or 3 a month and actually read them on time! I am going to try and finish all my books from January if I can.
I got a all books done so have 25 to go. May try to get 1 more done this month. At 88% Feedback.

You can also check Amazon, it lists top new fiction, so does Apple Books if you have that. Also, PopSugar is a site to check out. On Instagram and Facebook there are also lots of book sites to join. My favorite is Book Club Favorites. Just post and ask what books people recommend. It’s a great site. At my library and bookstore, I also pick up a great pamphlet called BookPage which has lots of upcoming books. Once, you get started, you will easily find many books to read. Good Luck. Hope that helps.

I have never read anything by Sarah waters, but have The Paying Guests, I don’t even remember how I got it. I heard that one was good, so will give it a try. Glad you liked Fingersmith, I’ve heard of it, but don’t really know what it’s about. It sounds like it is a Mystery? I definitely did not realize that. Glad you enjoyed it.
The Little Stranger I have never heard of, but sorry you are not really enjoying it. That is always frustrating. I have so many on my TBR, think I will skip this one.
I just finished
, believe it or not this was a book that dragged and was boring. Still, glad I read it b/c Anne Perry is a famous Crime Writer and appears to have no remorse for a horrific murder. This did bother me. So, I will not read her books, making my TBR a bit shorter. I have to find my list, but will add it on.
I am trying to finish this one and also the Decades Challenge. 2020 and 2021 are easily done since that is what I’ve been reading. I will keep posting as I finish TBR books. Currently reading Anne Perry and the Murder of the Century.

TO READ:
I just got one in. I am trying to get all the Fiction and Historical Fiction from the Goodreads Best Books. I finished Valentine, by Elizabeth Wetmore. Is there any way I can get added on list? I just started so late, but will try and catch up. .
Hi, can a moderator add me to the list of participants. Thanks very much :-)
