[Jennifer, Moderator]

Hi, everyone -- sorry, this is a little later going up than I intended. Please feel free to post your chosen books for January here. The cover needs to have white or dark gray in it, either or both, any amount.

I will be reading and

I'll have to wait and see what books I actually start with to see if any have a white cover, although I am seriously looking at Futureface: A Family Mystery, an Epic Quest, and the Secret to Belonging by Alex Wagner as my first biography for my Jan focus so that would qualify

[Bonnie]

I will be reading with an in person bookclub (too) and which I've been holding off on so I can include it with the color challenge and my 2022 Motley Reading challenge :)

I just picked it up last week at the 50% off sale at our local thrift store. I enjoyed his recent book so I hope this one is good too.

We have 8. 😊🥳🎉 But since there is no way I can finish it in 2021, it will be my first book completed in 2022!

Finished my first pick: Sugar Cookie Murder. I love this series but am currently talking myself out of trying the recipes because at the moment I'm trying to diet....

[Christina]

Finished both and . I really enjoyed both of them.

Kind of wanted to slap the characters of Until November a few times but overall it was cute and made me smile. Maybe I'm feeling mushy since I'm preggo.

The Summer Children is part of a series I love, but this book was REALLY hard to read. Not because it wasn't good. But because it's about crimes against children. It was rough to get through. Still a fantastic book.

Good luck with resisting the sugar cookies!

I stayed away from the sugar cookies. Of course I ate a handful of chocolate chips right out of the bag but that's a different issue.

Ha! And quicker to eat by not having to wait for the cookies to bake.

Plus think of all the calories I'm saving by not eating all that pesky dough.

Really like Greg Iles, plus who does challenges and doesn't need an "I" author?

Ooh Jennifer. Totally didn't think about my alphabet challenge. Thank you!

:-)

[Lance]

Alphabet challenge? Is that here or in another group? And…if first names can count for X, I’d have no problems! :)

[Martha]

I'll read ... thought I had already responded to this.

I don't know where I first saw it. Probably on Facebook in my bullet journaling group. Some are using authors' names. Others use book titles. With the hard to find letters we give ourselves leeway. So I would definitely count first name for X.

[Lance]

Finished my dark grey book . Excellent look at bare knuckle fighting. 5 stars

[Carolyn]

Finished my first for the year - white and grey (lovely cover)
Canticle Creek by Adrian Hyland, well written Aussie mystery. 4★
review: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

[Carolien]

I didn't put this on my original list, but looking at it, it will qualify. Completed . It's a terrible picture as it is a photo of the cover on a table that Goodreads has for the first edition.

Started and finished Gone to Dust

Finished Shuggie Bain. Very well written and good book, but very sad.
