Megan (meglynnreads) | 15 comments I only plan on reading one but can't decide between four options: City of Brass, Red Sister, Onyx & Ivory, or A Crown for Cold Silver. Leaning toward City of Brass but I'm sure I'll change my mind in thr next couple of weeks.

Karis Gorst (karisgorst) | 1 comments i think i'm gonna extend this buzzwordathon round to the whole month, because i have a good amount of books i want to get to.

Black Girl Unlimited by Echo Brown The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune Concrete Rose (The Hate U Give, #0) by Angie Thomas White Teeth by Zadie Smith It's Not OK to Feel Blue (and other lies) by Scarlett Curtis

it's not ok to feel blue is an essay collection (and a thicc one at that) so i plan to read a couple of the essays every day. white teeth is also a thicc book and i'm very intimidated by, so i hope i get along with it!

since I really want to read more classics this year, I'm choosing "The Red and the Black" by Stendhal. I have no idea what to expect, so I hope I'll like it!

Amanda (literaryweaponry) | 7 comments This month I will be reading Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik. I thought I had already commented but didn’t see it so throwing it out there again.
Spinning Silver will be a reread and it was one of my top reads of 2019.

message 79: by Beth (new)

Beth If I can get the audiobook back from the library, I might cheat and continue Dark and Deepest Red by Anna-Marie McLemore or read Blanca & Roja by Anna-Marie McLemore which I own from the same author. I have been into poetry collections, though, so it's entirely possible I stumble into one with a color this month.

message 99: by Francesca (new)

Francesca (francescapigeon) | 13 comments I've just finished reading James and the Giant PEACH (I'm counting it as a colour okay) :'D
Really nostalgic experience. I loved the film growing up (I don't think it gets talked about enough), so reading this just reminded me of so much of the stuff that happened.
I will say, for a book that included facts about insects and tried to disprove false information, having a maneating rhino... like okay???????
Nevertheless, it was a nice quick read.
