Sandra - will you pick the language for each month? or is that up to us? Thanks!
What a great idea! I have absolutely nothing that works for that is at the top of my TBR pile but I will for sure check back next month.
I'll be picking the language ladymurmur :)

I'd like to do this, but I don't know if I can get two "O"s in this month. I might have to juggle... or use a character with an "O" name, is that alright?

Finished On the Edge, now reading Once Upon a Curse: Stories and Fairy Tales for Adult Readers. Updating post #9.
