January 2023 Group Read #1 - The Shuddering

[WendyB]

HA members have chosen The Shuddering by Ania Ahlborn as a group read for January.
Should be some icy scares to be had.
Remember to use spoiler tags and have a good time!

[Emilie]

This one is available through kindle unlimited through reading and listening.

[Saffron]

Yay I'm super excited to finally get to this!

[Leigh]

I so ready. I've kicked this to my currently reading.

[Victoria]

This will be my first read with this group and I already enjoy Ania Ahlborn so I'm looking forward to this :)

[Ashley]

This will also be my first time reading with a book club. I’m so excited. I cannot wait for January.

[Marie]

Awesome! I am joining this one - already have it downloaded on my KU. I really like Ahlborn so this should be fun. :)

[RoseDevoursBooks]

Yessssss. I’m excited to read this one with the group! 🙌

[Zain]

I’ve read this book, already. I’ll try the other book.

[Gareth]

This is one I've been meaning to read for some time. I'm in for this group read!

[Badseedgirl]

I was planning to read this in December, but have moved it to January to join this group in this read. But don't worry, I have LOTS of other books to read this month instead!

One thing I never worry about with the good people on HA is having enough books to read. :D

LOL! Now THAT sounds familiar! I'm actually up to December's group read now!

[Sally]

Oh yes! I've wanted to read Ahlborn for ages just haven't made the time.

[Karisa]

Can’t wait to read this one with you all! I already read sundial though :(

[Sarah]

So excited!! I’ve been flying through books this last month so I’m def saving this one for January. Now I just need to figure out where to get it since it’s not at my library 😭

[Lindsay]

Yay! This one got my vote so I'm excited to read it. I'm still trying to frantically finish my 2022 reading goal, so this will wait until January for sure! (Even though I maybe already rented it on kindle unlimited...)

[Kim]

I've been thinking about reading this one. Glad it was chosen.

[Aaron]

A great thing about groups is the introduction of titles you hadn't found on your on. The Shuddering sounds neato-torpedo.

That's exactly who I joined HA. :)

I've got The Shuddering loaded and waiting for January.

I am thinking I might do the same, this book sounds really good!

I'm guessing that reading a book in a club like this leads to conversations about it? Without looking, which I'll admit is lazy, I wonder what else it entails..

[Giovanni]

i love this book, very creepy with an old school style
I'm on the audio book and since I had some driving this week I'm almost finished

[Brenna]

Joining in on this one for January! Excited!

[Sarah]

Joining this one for January. New to the group. Thanks !!

[Laura]

I will join in for this one too! Good start to the year!

[Meagan]

The odds of me having already read both January books is crazy. I actually am ahead for once! I will reread The Shuddering so I can refresh my memory on it. I did give it a good rating!

[Leigh]

Happy New Year! Great book to start today

[Marie]

I am starting this book tonight. I have been wanting to read this book for awhile. :)

[James]

I’m starting this one and new to the group. I am new to this author too. Looking forward to it!

[Badseedgirl]

I am finishing up Earthworm Gods II: Deluge and then I will be starting this one. So Maybe on Tuesday.

[Hannah]

i just wanted to point out that this was an amazing read for me last year so i hope you all enjoy it!

[Gareth]

I started this early this morning. Certainly gets off to a good start.

Glad to hear it! It’s definitely a wonderful book in my opinion, Ania is a very good author

Uh-oh Mods - we have a spammer making their rounds in here!

[Marie]

I started this book last night and love how (view spoiler)[right away there is creature action - just trying to figure out what the creature is - I am thinking something werewolf maybe. We will see. (hide spoiler)]

[Leigh]

@ PiperDemaine totally inappropriate to be posting that here. This is only for people who want to read books and have discussions take your gambling "investng" app site else where

I'm glad you're off to a good start. I'm also wondering the same thing.

[Rachel]

i've been meaning to read more ahlborn for a while now so i'm really excited to join in with this one. just waiting for my copy from the library! :)

[Tommy]

Loved "Brother" so I'll jump on this :)

I also will be audio booking this - how was the narrator?

[Lisa]

Can’t find this one at my library or Hoopla, which is really unusual. Kindle it is…

[Heather]

Just got my copy from my library (did have to interlibrary loan it, as my district did not have it)! Excited to start reading!

[Chandler]

Love Ania Ahlborn so I'm excited to read this one! Waiting on Amazon to bring me my copy.

[Lindsay]

Just started it tonight. Always knew I made the right choice to move to a tropical place where it doesn’t snow.

I wish I had your foresight. 🤣

Thanks! I still don't know exactly (view spoiler)[what the creature is yet but it did give a description but it didn't help much. lol (hide spoiler)]

[Marie]

The suspense buildup is killing me! LOL :)

[Gareth]

I'm thinking you may be a little disappointed regarding that Marie. I'm 80% in now and still wondering to some extent. I'm enjoying reading this still.

[Ashley]

I just finished this book. It was not what I expected. I’m looking forward to seeing what others feel about the book.

[Badseedgirl]

Ok, so this might be an unpopular opinion, but I find Jane to be a bit of a whiny ass beotch. She has spent most of the book so far screeching at her brother, pining for Sawyer, and cooking/baking.

I don't think this requires a spoiler!
