Also I plan on reading whenever I get it, and this will also be a new author.

I left room to add some if people have books in common with me that I didn't put on my tbr. Just a super tentative list of what I want to read this month. c:

I started this series today and it’s even better than expected. A bit like Cruel Prince. And a new author for me: https://www.goodreads.com/series/2779...

I am currently reading and I also want to complete the series this month and follow with . Not a new author to me, but my goal was to finish series if I start them instead of starting a multitude of series and then having to reread.

A list of possible authors I'm trying out this month:
Series:
Lani Wendt Young (Telesa 4-book series)
Margaret Peterson Haddix (Shadow Children 7-book series)
Farrah Rochon (The Boyfriend Project x3)
Sarah K L Wilson (Tangled Fae x5, Bluebeard's Secret x4)
Only reading one book from:
Danielle L. Jensen (Fate Inked in Blood)
Sandra Proudman (Salvacion)
Rachel Schneider (Metal Slinger)
Allison Saft (Down Comes the Night)
Mary Higgins Clark (All Dressed in White)
Sara Samuels (Timeborne)

I'm happy to prioritize any of these that others are reading so we can make five for the bonus. I won't get to all of these.
Edited to reflect ones I've already decided not to pursue this month.

The following people will be joining the following teams -

I can add [book:Metal Slinger|213309864] to my tbr for the month for extra points

@Ari sounds good. Do you want to BR? If so any start day works for me.

Sure we can buddy read! I don’t do it often so I might be bad at it. :x

We can start asap, I can start today.

Can you request the thread? I’m just on my phone right now

@As You Wish here's the thread c:

Hello all! Checking in

I'm not sure which new to me authors I will be reading yet

I'm currently reading Love, Mom by Iliana Xander.

I also plan on reading :

On Wings of Blood by Briair Boleyn
Burning Daylight by Emily McIntyre
House of Bane and Blood by Alexis Menard
Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole
Your Knife, My Heart by K.M. Moronova

Not sure if this book will count, but I will be reading
Just as I am by Cicely Tyson as well

These are all new authors for me

Jennifer Donnelly is just not hitting the notes for me this month; doubling down on Farrah Rochon as I see she’s written several romances.

Welcome to 2026!

I posted my books, I've been reading quite a bit just haven't been reading too many new to me authors.

You sure have read a lot of books! I'm finding it hard to match up with other teammates, too, like all the books they're reading are either by authors I already have read or have never heard of. It's tough to match-up.

Last day to post reviews! Thanks for a great month, Team 2026. :D
