Week 3/4 - What Are You Reading?

[Joanna]

How's everyone's month going so far? Can anyone believe February is next week? I most certainly can't. I'm sorry for the lack of a thread post last week; I took a week vacation which was much needed. It was a stay-cation so of course I tried to conquer some of my to be read pile. Managed to read some Alice Oseman books (that aren't the graphic novels)- Solitaire and Nick and Charlie- and finally, finally finished a book I've been reading since early December, Oaths of Legacy. So all in all, a good stay-cation.

What books have you all been reading? Any standouts? Any you would recommend? Let us know!

I finished A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson not last week (and enjoyed it thoroughly), and also The Plot is Murder by V.M. Burns (an enjoyable cozy- can't wait to see what happens next).

At the moment I am reading The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes by Cat Sebastien, and listening to the Templar Legacy by Steve Berry (my commute is too short to listen to the radio, all I get are commercials). Not sure what is next.

So far I would recommend everything I've read this year.

I’m reading The Cabin at the End of the World, and it is very very good! Suspenseful and thoughtful and sad!

I'm listening to The Girl from the Train. Not sure where it's going, but well written and learning new things about WW2

I just finished Anatomy and Lost in Time.
Currently reading Hell bent by Leigh Bardugo.

Lunar Love by Lauren Kung Jessen is this month’s Book of the Month pick. The Count of Monte Cristo is my epic classic for the first half of 2023.

So to show the tiny book covers, when you're looking at the comment box in the thread, you'll notice to the right of "comment" is a clickable option "add book/author." Click that and a pop up box appears. At the bottom of the pop up box is an option to either add link or cover. Change that to cover. Then just search for your book title in the pop up box and when you find it, click add. It'll appear as a string of code in your comment box but when you hit "post," it'll be the cover.

Let me know if that makes sense!

Please see my heart eyes over Count of Monte Cristo. You and another friend of mine are reading that right now and it's really making me want to do a reread.

The Storied Life of A.J.Frikry is my most current favorite read.

I am currently reading The Stardust Thief with a good friend. While I am waiting for them to catch up I am also reading The War of Two Queens. I highly recommend book 1 of this series: From Blood and Ash.
