Is The Bees you’re suggesting by Laline Paull? I’d suggested that one earlier (msg 53), so am definitely interested in reading that one.

Hey Rebecca!
So glad you signed up for Cult Classic. It’s been on my list for so long now 😂 now I’m going to finally pick it up

[Andy]

Do we get a reading buddy as well? How does this work.

Andy, read through the first post in this thread and the FAQ.

People suggest books they want to read and if one or more other people want to read the book at the same time, I create threads to discuss them for the month they want to read them.

[Vedushi]

I'll join the buddy read for As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow for January.

[Alina]

please remove Tress of the Emerald Sea from january.

I´d like to join yellowface though.

I'm also planning to read Yellowface

[Emily]

Can I tentatively suggest continuing the Holly Gibney trilogy with If It Bleeds in January and Holly in February?

All three books are a bit on the lengthier side so I'm not sure how well one a month will work out for everyone!

[Beth]

Yes, I’m into that! We did the Bill Hodges trilogy one a month and it was fine.

[Jen]

We've all seen that Yellowface won the Goodreads choice award? I'm still 16 on the library waitlist, I do hope I'll have it by January.

[Beth]

You can remove The Outsider from January. I had missed that it was already on the list for December. Thanks!

[Lulo]

I'll join if it bleed in January, and try to get a copy of Holly for february

Oh, I'd love to read Fourth Wing as a buddy read! Except I'm number 22 on my library's hold list for it. If I get it in time, I'm in for that one as well.

[D.L.]

Please add me to The Proposal in January. Thanks :)

[Amy]

I would like to read Jade City in January and the rest of the trilogy in the following months please!

[Beth]

I recently learned of an interesting-sounding Victorian mystery series. There are 12 books total, and all (as of today) are available on Kindle Unlimited. Penny Green Mysteries

I’m going to start in January with Limelight (Penny Green, #1) by Emily Organ. If I like that, I’ll continue with the series, one per month for the year.

Anyone want to join me? :)

[Rebecca]

@Beth I’ll join in Limelight. I’m always looking for good ways to use my KU subscription

[Rebecca]

I'd like to suggest The Wretched of Muirwood by Jeff Wheeler for March, but I'm open to other months.

[Beth]

If you can start the beautiful this month that be great. I be doing them as audiobooks but can wait tell January if need be

[Rebecca]

Jan, I have a busy couple of weeks between holidays and birthdays in my family, so I’ll need to wait until January.

[Jan]

Rebecca i understand will there be a thread i need to find in january and do you want to do like a section of chapters or how would ya like to do it

[Rebecca]

@Jan, the threads are usually posted around the 25th, which will give other people time to join the read, and we’ll be able to discuss progress goals or just go for it and post comments behind spoiler tags once the thread is up.

[Jan]

Ok sounds good thanks
