Goodreads Choice Awards Book Club discussion

A place to discuss the current months new releases. Each month the link to the top 200 books published in that month that people have added on Goodreads will be posted here.

January New Releases

I'm having some trouble with Goodreads today. It is super slow and the add book link isn't working well. I'll have to update to add the links later.

As usual, there are quite a few books I'm interested in. These are the ones that have made it onto my TBR.

I read The Maid and thought it was good.

I'm reading Reckless Girls and The Last House on the Street. I also have Josh and Gemma Make a Baby.

I am interested in A Flicker in the Dark and the newest in the Wayward Children series, Where the Drowned Girls Go.

I received The Taste of Ginger from Kindle First and have some interest in it, though it's not top of my list. I also might have some interest in Her Last Goodbye.



Also as usual, there are a couple books that I have read or plan to read that are re-releases. I have not added these to my list here.

Kristie, how was The Maid I have this to read next month. Have you read A Flicker in the Dark yet?

I really enjoyed them both, Kristine.

The Maid was an interesting story. I thought it was going to be lighter than it was. It isn't a cutesy cozy kind of mystery. The MC is very quirky, but it's a bit more serious. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

A Flicker in the Dark was very well-written. It doesn't read like a debut. I thought it was a really engaging read. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I just edited my above post to add the book links.

Update: I have read The Maid, Reckless Girls, The Last House on the Street, and A Flicker in the Dark. I am currently reading Josh and Gemma Make a Baby (63%) and am still planning to read Where the Drowned Girls Go. The last two are still maybes.

February New Releases

Kristie,
Thanks for your comments and reviews. I had not heard much about A Flicker in the Dark, so your review was really helpful. Much appreciated.

Thanks. Glad you found them helpful, Kristine.

Lynn, Thanks for putting this together. It is really helpful.

I've got a few this month:
Must read : House of Sky and Breath (guilty pleasure), I Must Betray You (who wants to read this one with me, I already made the buddy read request ;) ), Golden Girl
Maybe : Eternal

And since I forgot to include my new releases TBR last month, here they are: The Overnight Guest, Reminders of Him & Violeta

Already read: The Christie Affair, Dark Horse

Want to read: Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead, The Paris Apartment, I Must Betray You

Have from Kindle First: The Lobotomist's Wife

Maybe reads: Black Cake, Meet Me in the Margins, An Impossible Impostor, Diablo Mesa (I need to read the previous books in the series for An Impossible Impostor and Diablo Mesa first)

There are a few others that I'm interested in, but they either haven't made it onto my TBR yet or they are just new editions coming out.



I am also interested in The Ultimate Reading Challenge: Complete a Goal, Open an Envelope, and Reveal Your Bookish Prize!. It looks like it might be fun!

Oh... I forgot. I also have a copy of One Night on the Island from the publisher through Goodreads. So I'll be reading that too.

March New Releases

Only 3 for me this month:
The Diamond Eye, The Step Child & All My Rage.

I am looking forward to
My Darling Husband
The Match

I am reading right now Little Rumours

And I just finished The Golden Couple which was 5 stars for me!

I haven't read the latest one (Diamond Eye) but I loooooved The Rose Code

Savanes wrote: "I haven't read the latest one (Diamond Eye) but I loooooved The Rose Code"

Same here! I'm really looking forward to Diamond Eye too.

I think I have quite a few coming out this month that I want to read (as usual). I haven't had a chance to go through the list yet. Soon.

April New Releases

Yes, The Rose Code was amazing. I got my mail and The Diamond Eye is sitting in front of me. Keep looking over at it. Must get some sleep.

May New Releases

I have quite a few this month:
Book Lovers, Book of Night, Something Wilder, Sparring Partners, Never Coming Home, Pieces of Her, The Druid, Darling Girl: A Novel of Peter Pan, The Homewreckers
Maybes: The Lioness, Reason and Romance, Bravely, Glow

I've been reading more contemporary romance lately, I usually like to mix them in with my heavier reads for a break, but lately I've been adding more of them to my reading plans.

I have quite a few coming out this month that I want to read and a bunch of 'maybes' as well.

I have The Homewreckers, My Wife Is Missing, and The Final Hunt to read through NetGalley right now.

I also want to read Book Lovers, Something Wilder, The Unplanned Life of Josie Hale, and Our Little World. I also want to read The Cherry Robbers and Carolina Moonset, which I have through Bookish.

I may want to read The Island at some point, but it's not high priority at the moment. I also have Just Like Mother, Breathless, At the Quiet Edge, and Take Your Breath Away on my maybe read list.

I got an arc of Book Lovers, and loved it!

I'm so excited for Book Lovers! I have a hold on it from the library and I can't wait to get it!

I also have a hold on it, but have too many out right now to even be able to read it. I'm looking forward to it soon though!

June New Releases

Lynn, glad you got an ARC of Book Lovers and enjoyed it so much. That is always nice to read. I have that book, Hopefully, read this month. I have come to enjoy romance more, too, good break from such heavy reading.

Also, want to try a book by Mary Kay Andrews, The Homewreckers, have a hold on.

Thanks for the June Releases. I will never get caught up. 📚📚

I have just a couple of books that have made it onto my 'maybe read' list this month. I'm interested in The Man Burned by Winter, which I received through First Reads, and The Candid Life of Meena Dave.

That's funny, I have quite a few that made it to my tbr this month.

A Botanist's Guide to Parties and Poisons, More Than You'll Ever Know, The Lies I Tell, The Girl Who Survived, The Mutual Friend, Last Summer Boys, Relic and Ruin & My Killer Vacation

July New Releases

I have quite a few I plan to read that publish in July.

I have already read DIY Resin Crafting Projects and Holy Chow. I enjoyed them both a lot and would recommend them.

I am currently reading The Bodyguard. Then I have Things We Do in the Dark, Upgrade, Bad City: Peril and Power in the City of Angels, and Fatal Witness, which is the next book (#7) in the Detective Erika Foster series, to read next. I hope to read most of these in July.

I am also interested in The Family Remains, The Big Dark Sky, The 6:20 Man, and maybe Paradise Girls, The Brighter the Light, and The Kingdoms of Savannah, because the cover always grabs my attention for some reason. I also have The Secret Witness from Prime, which I hope to get to eventually.

Phew! That was a lot. Not sure why everything is coming out this month!

I just saw that we got an extra free book through Prime this month! I almost missed it. I very quickly picked up The Brighter the Light. Yeah! I love when we get two on a month that offers two I want to read. :)

August New Releases

September New Releases

For the August new releases, I was able to read The Book Eaters and Wrong Place Wrong Time. Both were very good books! The imagination in The Book Eaters was amazing for me. And the story in Wrong Place Wrong Time was intriguing. I gave both 5 stars.

December New Releases

Where is Cormac McCarthy's "Stella Maris" the second in "The Passenger" series which I am now reading. It has to be one of the most popular. Bookmarks had an article about him and one person called him our greatest living author.
