I’d like to read The Art of War - February is fine.

[Luci]

Oh gosh I'm so sorry, I could have sworn I checked the list beforehand but I must have overlooked that one. Thanks for adding me!

Right, I won't have time for all of them, so since Allison is interested in reading The Art of War, I'll stick to those two for this coming month. Would it be possible to suggest the remaining two for March/April?

I can do Anna Karenina in April if that works for you

We don’t necessarily need to do February for The Art of War. It’s a shorty, we can do it at any time, good with me!

Lorraine and Allison, April works great for Anna Karenina!

Allison wrote: "We don’t necessarily need to do February for The Art of War..."

Yes, since it's a short one I'm fine with reading it in February, too :)

@SarahKat
I just had a look at the google sheet and wanted to ask, if you could switch There There from March to May?
I suggested it for May - I´m sure it being in the march column is just a mistake! :)

Sorry Alina that's fixed!

I just read the first one in later half of 2024 so if someone reads the first with you and wants to carry on, I’ll join for book #2.

I'll join! What's one more series? I lost track of how many I'm reading (Alex Cross, Kay Scarpetta, Matthew Shardlake - but that's nearly done - Cotton Malone, to name just a few).

[D.L.]

I'll join for Rules of Prey :)

[Lisa Marie]

Could I please be added to the thread for The Body Farm by Patricia Cornwell :) I would greatly appreciate it!! Thank you!!

HAPPY READING!!
