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

If you like a good thriller, I recommend Camilla Bruce "in the garden of spite" or "You let me in"..
I will read Fourth Wing with Vicky!!! sorry to be M.I.A. I promise I am SO excited to do this with you guys!!!!! I'm excited to try one of those thrillers this year. I want to try a murder story or like a "who done it" type!!!
I’m excited to try a new author! And Fourth Wing is so good, I hope you guys enjoy it! Keep us updated!
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.
Just started You Let Me In. I’m about 20% in. The writing style is very interesting, it definitely took me a minute to get used to. Also Pepperman is kinda terrifying. But I’m enjoying it so far, I’ll keep you posted!
I've had a slow start. But I WILL finish The Stand in January! Love the premise so far but it's a chunky book. 😆
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!!
I admire you for picking The Stand as your book for the challenge this month! That book honestly intimidates me 😅. Way to get your page count up though! Let us know how you’re liking it 🙂
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 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!
Just finished “You Let Me In”!!! I pretty much just went into it completely blind, so i don’t know what I was expecting but wow it wasn’t that - in a good way! I really enjoyed it though, it was such an original story and the descriptions and visuals were insane. It wasn’t quite a 5 star read for me because the writing style was a little hard to get used to and I kinda wanted more at the end. But overall it was great and it had me wishing we could live in a world surrounded by fairies. Thanks for the recommendation!
OKAYYY , I just got done with "This time tomorrow " by Emma Straub, and I loved it! That was Ani's 5 star book, and I would also give it 5 ⭐️s and recommend it..
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 am bout 200 pages into Fourth Wing, and I am absolutely in LOVE. Oh my goodness. I definitely need to look up how some names are pronounced, and I want a grid of the military layout, but I am head over heels for the women growing strong, physically, mentally and in her own confidence! and the dragons are hilarious. 🤣 I'm so excited to finish it. 2/08 works for me!!!!
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!! :)
Marissa, Fourth Wing was amazing for me! I've already ordered the second book. I can't wait for all of us to get together to chat 😁
I'm starting my 5th book tomorrow.. "The secret history " by Donna Tartt. I've heard good things about it.
LAAAST DAAAAAYY! And you people been done with January....I know.🙄I have about 30 pages left of the stand! I've loved all of it so far that I'm scared of it ending with some disappointing shit. 😬
Will finish tonight! 🥳
I'm reading 2 books right now and literally gonna start my February book tomorrow. I am not ready for 3 books 🤦🏻♀️
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.
I'm taking a day or 2 off before I start my February book too. My next one is going to honestly feel like a pamphlet after January. 😌
