If we can do this for January and February as Lorraine suggested you can put me down for this book. Never read it!

[Ashleigh]

Now that I'm getting my 2022 reading plan sorted:

Would anyone like to read:

February - The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water

March - Children of Earth and Sky

[Cosmic]

I would like to be added to A Christmas Carol group for December. Planning to read it as part of the Advent Calendar reading challenge.

[Frezita]

I'm also interested in reading
Of Mice and Men
The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race

[BookishlyWise]

Yess lets roed The Code Breaker!! The entire gene sequencing is so much more relevant now. Its a thick non fiction though so I'm guessing it might take 2 months to finish.

[Frezita]

Great. Placing the book on hold.

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Cosmic, the A Christmas Carol thread is posted. You can join the discussion here.

Frezita, December confirmations are closed now so those books will have to be pushed to another month. Bibliophile, would you like Code Breaker moved to January?

[BookishlyWise]

I am ok with January too for a formal buddy read because its a thick book and I'm sure ill still be reading this in Jan.

[Alison]

Hi...I would like to join oshizu and Sunny in the January buddy read of Murder at Half Moon Gate. Thank You!! :)

February
Murder at Kensington Palace by Andrea Penrose
(Book 3 of the Wrexford & Sloane series)

March

[Sunny]
