38 -- Published By Hachette
Heartstopper by Alice Oseman
I'm planning on reading Belladonna by Adalyn Grace
I mostly read in my mother tongue German, can I also count a translated book that was originally published by any Hachette division?
Mod
Absolutely!
I'm going to read an SFF novel from the Orbit imprint. Maybe Behind the Throne by KB Wagers, The Shambling Guide to New York City by Mur Lafferty, or Winter of the Gods by Jordanna Max Brodsky (I read the first book of the trilogy years ago, so I should probably read the second volume)
I will be reading The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. Never saw the movie, but am familiar with the premise lol.
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
The Second Girl by David Swinson
I am not going to pre-plan this one, I am just going to read the first book I find on my shelves published by HachetteFound one: Christopher Hitchens is a Hachette author. i will choose one if his books, I own many
Never Met a Duke Like You by Amalie Howard is my pick.
I plan on reading The inheritance games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes.
The Museum of Failures or A Grandmother Begins The Story
I'll be reading Reminders of Him, as well for this prompt.
I accidentally found one on my bookshelf that qualifies! Started Early, Took my Dog by Kate Atkinson
For this prompt I’m reading Circe by Madeline Miller!
Looking through the list and saw that The Allure of the Multiverse: Extra Dimensions, Other Worlds, and Parallel Universes was on there. That's perfect since I already own a copy.
I read A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks. It was better than I thought it would be; I still preferred the movie.
I read The Escape Artist by Jonathan Freedland.
A book I’m listening to is published by Hatchett Audio. Would this also count?
Mod
Absolutely! All branches and subsidiaries of Hatchett count.
Starting "Pachinko" by Min Jin Lee, and totally invested.
This was a happy coincidence. I read The Orphan Sisters by Shirley Dickson. It was just okay for me but many WW2 fans would enjoy it.
I read Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell 5 star read

I read The Sudden Appearance of Hope (Claire North).
Hachette Audio produced the audiobook Circe by Madeline Miller.
All the little bird- hearts is on my TBR list and is published by Algonquin Books - part of Hatchette
I read Forget Me Not by Julie SotoEdit - I moved Forget Me Not to a different category and instead put a different Julie Soto book here: Not Another Love Song. I didn't like it as much as Forget Me Not, but it was still good.
“The Curse of the Pharaohs” by Elizabeth Peters is a hilariously thrilling novel in the Amelia Peabody Mysteries. This is book two. I recommend going back and reading book one, Crocodile on the Sandbank, first.
I listened to Pachinko by Min Jin Lee It was selected by a book club I go to, & I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did, as I don't often enjoy family sagas & it is a long listen. So I pressed play at the last moment a few days before we meet ~ & was enchanted. I knew almost nothing about Korean or Japanese history but was fascinated. It's a wonderful listen.
One of the books I've read for this prompt is Trail of the Lost: The Relentless Search to Bring Home the Missing Hikers of the Pacific Crest Trail
by Andrea Lankford Andrea Lankford .I keep thinking about all those who are lost. . .and their families.
listened to the audiobook published by Hachette Audio
This is my second for this prompt: Paradise of the Damned: The True Story of an Obsessive Quest for El Dorado, the Legendary City of Gold
by Keith Thomson Keith Thomson.All about the 1500's obsession with finding El Dorado. . .and Sir Walter Raleigh who crossed the oceans many times, lost a number of his family members including a son to these failed quests for which he lost his head.
The story behind The Secret Rescue: An Untold Story of American Nurses and Medics Behind Nazi Lines by Cate Lineberry NEEDS to be made into a movie.
