February 2024 Commit to One Book Monthly

[Jennifer, Moderator]

Hi, everyone! This is the thread for the "Commit to one book monthly" challenge. In this thread, post one book you intend to read in February, so everyone else can see your pick. When you finish reading it, we'd love for you to come back and post your opinion. I expect everyone's TBRs to suffer because of this monthly reading challenge, but I'm prepared to make that sacrifice. Are you? :-D

I commit to reading Walk the Blue Line: They Walk the Line between Life and Death by James Patterson

[Jackie]

I'll commit to .

[Bonnie]

I'll commit to as it's a book I own on Kindle and it's listed as Fantasy/Historical Fiction/ Romance- and a few other things, so no matter what genre we do for the genre reads of February, it will work. Plus it sounds fun and I'm kind of procrastinating some books on my list that are "good for me." And it's a Jane Eyre ( a favorite classic) kind of retelling.

I really liked this book. I hope you do as well.

Good story, and not one I knew except in the broadest strokes. The only thing that kept jerking me out of the story is the same issue I have with most recent historical novels -- they get the details right but the language wrong. Usually -- as in this book -- it takes the form of characters saying or thinking a phrase that wasn't in use at the time.

I'd like to read this one, too Bill. She does a great interview & was so impressive during the hearing.

It just came out, and I had to go out and buy it, so I better read it!

Finished and an excellent read for February

[Denise]

Finished , gave it 4 stars. I enjoyed this book very much. Each story was about the day in the life of each officer and range from regular beat cops, state troopers, ATF, FBI Agents and SWAT. The stories make you realize that there are many more good cops out there than bad ones, and they all deserve our respect for putting their lives in danger everyday just to protect us.

[Pam]

Well, I DNF’d my book after ~20 pages. I might try it again later this year. I just wasn’t interested in it right now.

If the time isn't right, the time isn't right, Pam. :)
