Yalonda (yalondade) | 81 comments Update: I'm finished. Did not like this one :-(

While I don't have any additional suggestions, I have read Every Day and enjoyed it. While intrigued by Imaginary Friend, I just cannot reconcile myself to a 700 page book. I have chosen for my read this month The House of Discarded Dreams which sounds quite different.

I'm reading The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden - it's the 2nd book in the Winternight series. The first was The Bear and the Nightingale (which I read for the January Motif challenge).

Erin | 6 comments I’m reading The Woman in the Window!

Melissa | 12 comments I read The DREAM Daughter by Diane Chamberlain

Well, I know the meaning behind the title...the story invades your dreams and you find yourself getting up at 1:00 a.m. to read for the next 2 hours to finish the story! See my full review:

Traci (scraptraci) | 45 comments I have read Stranger in the House and it is a very good book. I have come to realize I really enjoy Shari Lapena's work. I just read her Someone We Know this month and it was just as good. I want to go finish up the others she has written, hoping they are as good

I am not sure what book I am going to read for this prompt yet. Lots of good ones to chose it looks like

Pamela McIntosh | 13 comments I read "Darkness, My Old Friend" by Lisa Unger
Good read, not gripping, but good. This was the 2nd book in The Hollows series.


message 14: by Simone (new)

Simone (simonec75) Such a fantastic book!!!! I hope Sarah J. Maas won't let us wait too long for the sequel!

House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City, #1) by Sarah J. Maas


message 15: by Cecil (new)

Cecil Huston | 235 comments Okay, FINALLY found one on already my shelves to read for March! Will be reading “Connections in Death”, by J.D.Robb. Which I just discovered is actually Nora Roberts writing under a pseudonym. Never knew that!

With all this downtime, at long last have recorded all my books (almost all) in my “To Read” list, also adding the ones I own, both ebooks and physical books, to a “Misc Have” shelf. So I quit buying duplicates in series I’m reading. (Only ones not recorded yet are my moms Agatha Christie and PDJames collection. Later, later.)
So...I have about 150 MORE books on my TBR list. Which is now well over 500. Sigh...

And hugs to my wonderful daughter (who works at the library by the way) helped by organizing the shelves by author and pub date. Thanks sweetie!!❤️

Sharon (sharoncoleman) | 8 comments Just finished “ Storm in a c cup” gave it 4 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Was in my list for a while, wish I’d read sooner


message 18: by Cecil (new)

Cecil Huston | 235 comments Challenge Complete! Finally finished the book I chose for March’s Keyword challenge, and kinda wished I’d found a better one. Read “Connections in Death” by J D Robb (aka Nora Roberts). My first venture into this series, and not especially impressed. See my review for details. Good news is, I have a change of genre planned for next month. See you there!
