Me too! :)

I completed forgot to put a time to it but I’m thinking 5pm on Saturday. Let me know if this works for everyone.

It was 1200 pages of gold ☝🏼

Are you sure Ani? I know you were soooo excited for your Feb book 🤣🤣

I’m so fucking excited for you Ani. The ending was just as good as the rest of the book in my opinion. Naila you don’t have to start tomorrow. I’m not starting mine until I’m done with Onyx Storm.

We are officially a week away from starting our new challenge! This challenge is to read the book that has been on your TBR the longest. We all have that one book that gives you the side eye every time you come home with more books. Let's show that book some love! And what better month to do so than Valentine's month? 😉

For me, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by my one and only Valentine Stephen King. I have owned this book since I was in high school. In fact, this was my very first King book... I just never got around to reading it lol.

I'm excited to see which books you guys have been neglecting!

Just as a quick reminder, February 8th is our first book club night! BYOB🍺/BYOW🌿. I will have finger foods/snacks for everyone but if you would like to bring a snack for everyone, that is very much appreciated as well. See you guys then!

I’m on my third but I didn’t realize how long Iron Flame is! lol

Great! Marissa says she’s in as well! I’m thinking at 5pm. I’ll make a bunch of finger foods but byob and byow for my 420 friends, you know who you are 😂 see you guys then!! :)

How does everyone feel about having a book club night at my place? I’ll provide snacks (byob?). I was thinking February 8th? We can talk about the books that we read for Jan challenge and celebrate Naila’s birthday too!Thoughts?

I finished The Great Believers las yesterday and I will be starting Fourth Wing today but may not get very far this week. I’m very sick and I work all day tomorrow and Wednesday then I’m going out of town this weekend. But I’ll keep y’all updated!

ANI YOU KNEW! You knew I was already heart broken from my last read and you still let me read this book. I get it and I agree, 5 ⭐️! Yes yes yes, loved it!

I’m so excited for you Ani, The Stand is my absolute favorite book! It’s not just a chunky book, it’s a god damn brick!!

Woohoo! I cheated and started The Great Believers 2 days ago 🤣 but I need y’all to know I’m emotionally unstable after A Little Life. I tear up thinking about it so I NEEDED to move on with my life and just jump into another one.

Now we are less than a week from the new year and the start of our first month challenge. Idk about y’all but I’m excited! I hope we can stick to it throughout the year and maybe set up a book club night where we drink wine and eat fancy cheese (or drink beer, smoke weed and order a pizza 🤣). So here’s what I’ve got so far:

Naila: “This Time Tomorrow” by Emma Straub rated by Ani

Ani: “The Stand” by Stephen King rated by me 😁

Vicky: “Fourth Wing” by Rebecca Yarros rated by Marissa AND “The Great Believers” by Rebecca Makkai rated by Ani

Ashley: TBD (but I am trying to convince her to read Fourth Wing with me lol)

Marissa: TBD but most likely reading a book rated 5 stars by Naila

Marissa and Ashley let us know if you have chosen a book or if you’d like to sit this one out.

Well y’all already know what I’m reading! I’ll keep you updated on if I agree with your 5 stars! 😅

I couldn’t decide on my January read so I think I’m going to do two! I am going to read The Great Believers from Ani’s 5 star books and Fourth Wing from Marissa’s 5 star books! 😁 I’m excited to see everyone else’s pick!

So I noticed that we all have different reading goals next year. So instead of having a yearly number goal or reading the same book, I thought it would be a good idea to have a monthly theme. Here’s what I was thinking:

Reading Challenge
- [ ] January: Book that someone in this group gave 5 stars to
- [ ] February: The book that has been on your TBR the longest
- [ ] March: A book with a beautiful cover
- [ ] April: Book about an animal
- [ ] May: Book written from a new to you author
- [ ] June: Book swap with another member of the group.
- [ ] July: A dystopian novel
- [ ] August: Book by your favorite author
- [ ] September: Classic book
- [ ] October: Book with a spooky vibe
- [ ] November: Book published in 2025
- [ ] December: Book with a holiday vibe

Let me know what your thoughts are and if you have any ideas where we could adjust. Every month we’ll post what we’re reading and why we chose that book. Have fun and get creative with it!

**Please remember this is for fun and not homework! Life happens and sometimes we don’t have time to read. That’s okay, no one will hate you for it 😊
