I loved this book, it was amazing. Lisa See is one of my favorite authors because of the amount of detail she puts into her writing. I learn so much from her books, and the stories themselves are great too.

Stephanie (thetasteph) I'm reading America's First Daughter by Stephanie Dray.

I want to read more historical fiction without all the romance. This one seems like a hood good candidate. Plus, the author shares my name.

Shelley | 428 comments - What are you reading for this category? Paradox Bound
- Why did you choose this book? It was one of the interesting books in my TBR that I had never gotten around to read. There ere some problems with the logic, but considering that the entire premise is paradoxes, I guess that should be expected.

Silvia Turcios | 1058 comments - What are you reading for this category? I read Sing, Unburied, Sing, published in 2017

- Why did you choose this book? It was BotM for Ghost Story, but I already read my ghost story, so I just looked for another category where the book could fit :). I am really happy I had the opportunity to read it, I don't think I would have read it if it had not be chosen by the group :D

Emma (factandfable) | 182 comments I read A Secret History of Witches by Louisa Morgan, published in 2017. I read it for my book club, and it was not a huge success.

I read Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders
- Why did you choose this book?
The novel won the Booker last year, and I saw it in the bookshop and decided that it was time.
