November 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 May, 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'm choosing
Empire of Ants: The hidden worlds and extraordinary lives of Earth's tiny conquerors

I read a book about ant colonies when I was a kid and found it fascinating. I'm curious to see how the knowledge has changed in the last 50 years.

I think I'll commit to The Harlem Hellfighters by Max Brooks

[Bonnie]

I'll commit to The Bookseller of Inverness since it's my choice for a bookclub (Scottish roots, Mclean author.)

[Pam]

I will commit to The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon since it’s our library sci-fi book club read and I suggested it.

Heh, well, way to hold yourself accountable, Pam! :-)

[Lindsey]

I commit to The Nativity Story

[Pam]

Jennifer - I’m trying!! Plus, I’ve had the book for years and just need to read it or dispose of it.

I finished my book today. Not being an over-achiever -- it's free on audible plus but it expires on the 4th so it was now or never!

--Fascinating! 4 stars.

Finished. It was a good read, lots of history, which might not appeal to everyone, but it was of interest to me.

Finished . I gave it 5 stars. There is a movie made from this book. It gives some more detailed information about the story than just what we learned in Sunday School class as a kid. I found it very interesting.

This was enjoyable and I recommended it to another of my book clubs for next month.
