Hi, I would like to join This Is How You Lose the Time War in February.
I started this book in 2023 and didn't finish, maybe it was too difficult to read it in English, I would like to give it a second chance in French this time :)

I'm a huge Hunger Games fan and am quite excited for this one.

Confirming mine

[Beth]

Dominique, Blagica, and I started the Alex Cross series in December; we read book 2 in January. Maybe we never confirmed it, but, Sarah, would you please add the series on a monthly basis? Feb will be book 3, Jack & Jill. At a book a month, we'll be good through the beginning of 2027. 🤣

Of course, anyone is welcome to join us.

Thanks, Sarah!

Other than that, mine look good.

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Sorry Beth, those were confirmed I just forgot to add them to the upcoming months!

[Dominique]

I'll join Elaine for The Seven Year Slip and confirming my BR. Thanks

Mine are good.

I'd also like to join these two:
1. The Seven Year Slip with Elaine
2. Wonder with Beth

P. S.: I've updated my name on Goodreads, so now it might be easier to have me as LinaVer than Lina2 :)

No worries! You do a great job keeping all this straight, so the once-in-a-blue-moon forgetting is no biggie. 💐💐💐

That will be nice Lina! I've changed it everywhere on the spreadsheet. That is why my name is SarahKat also. When I started being active on here there were 6 Sarahs.

Thanks for the kind words Beth!

Thank you for updating my name, Sarah. 🙂 and for all your hard work in this topic. I was just talking with my husband tonight, since he's always asking how "that challenge on the internet is going" (he means the Jan Let's Get Cozy challenge), and I told him I am really amazed and inspired by people who lead year long challenges and topics. So many people and so many updates to follow up!

Luci, Love in the Time of Cholera is already a buddy read for February so I've added you to the list.

Your post says you want to suggest "one of these" so I'm not sure if you want the other 3 books suggested or if you just have time for 1? Please let me know.
