Happy New Year! I'm starting the year off nice and low-key with .

[Andrea, Moderator]

Happy New Year everyone!

I finished Kristin Hannah's the Women today. What a great book to start off 2025. I have way too many library loans that I'm in a crunch to read. Several of them are audio books that I can listen to as we de-Christmas. Some of these books are short so it looks like a lot.

1. The Women
2. Sandwich
3. If Only I Had Told Her
4. Motorhomes, Maps, & Murder
5. Funny Story
6. Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World
7. The Paradise Problem
8. Start the The Summer Cottage

[Shelby]

My first read pick of 2025 is The Maid and the Crocodile! 🐊
I had to use a free trial because I wanted to read an ebook or physical copy. 😅

[Carol]

I'm in. Hope to finish 4 books. Will post them as they are finished

[Elyse, Moderator]

In addition to starting , I also started lol

[Andrea, Moderator]

I had a crazy idea...would people like a thread like this to be ongoing/monthly? Like January goals and chat, February goals and chat, etc.? Just want to make sure we keep the group going and people are engaged. I'm seeing some groups sunset and I don't want that to happen for this group!

[Pamela]

I am reading Intermezzo by Sally Rooney.

[writer...]

Well done everyone and a HaPpy Reading New Year !!

[Elyse, Moderator]

I did end up reading before the readathon ended but didn't finish and still haven't.

[Andrea, Moderator]

I finished my little list of books! Off to a great start for 2025.
