Anyone interested in the following for February to April? I am open for any of those months.

Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman April
The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward
Salem’s Lot by Stephen King
The Institute b6 Stephen King

[LinaVer]

Would anyone like to read The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck in March?
I'm interested to read more classics this year, and the title also mentions grapes which could possibly suit the food topic for march.

Or The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer? In march, for the food connection.

BUDDY READS SIGN-UP THREAD"

Sorry for possible confusion Sarah but I've accidentally deleted (instead of editing) my comment suggesting Madly, Deeply: The Diaries of Alan Rickman.

I wanted to add that if someone wants to buddy read it, I think April would be best for me, as I've already signed up for several buddy reads until then.

Edit #2: I've now looked at the original comment by someone else and they mentioned completely different book Truly, Madly. So that's on me.

Anyway, I can read both/ either of them on April then.

[Jannene]

SarahKat, Lorraine and I plan on reading The Shadows We Hide in February and The Stolen Hours in March before finishing the last Rupert book. Will you change Forsaken Country to April?
