Hello Everyone! Happy December. I hope that the holiday season treats you all very well. Do you have any amazing reading plans for the last month of the year? I am starting The Good People by Hannah Kent today as a buddy read with Lindsi over at The Wandering Reader today. I am so excited. I adored Burial Rites! What is on your agenda?

Happy Holidays!

Jen | 2 comments Right now I'm reading Sing, Unburied, Sing. Not sure what's next...maybe The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa. Or Wuthering Heights (I've never read it). And then The Changeling for your book club!

ColumbusReads (coltrane01) | 10 comments I’m reading The Scapegoat by Daphne du Maurier. Its classic Du Maurier and one that no one talks about enough. What a shame!


message 6: by Jody (new)

Jody (jodyforsythe) I'm reading The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey.
No big reading plans this month on account of the holidays and lots to do to get ready for that.
Hope you all have an enjoyable December!
See you in the new year!

Hello Angie, Rebecca is just brilliant, simply brilliant. I think I’ll end up going through her entire catalog because she’s just that good. Please let us know what you think. Enjoy!

I agree. I read this in early November and thought it was an incredible and gripping read.

Bah Humpug | 15 comments Just finished White Tears and really enjoyed it, but it was definitely different from what I expected. Second half was very fractured and surreal, but it worked for me.


message 20: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca | 7 comments Florence in Ecstacy. I love the discussion you had with Jessie on her book. I was so happy my library had it, and it is on there fiction display. I read the prologue and I am like Yes, this gorgeous writing. I am so excited to read this one.


message 21: by Veronica (new)

Veronica  (vblanc) I just finished Sing, Unburied Sing last night...undecided about that one but in the middle of When Dimple Met Rishi and listening to The War I Finally Won-which is great!

The rest of the month-I did pick up Lonesome Dove-yes I haven't read it and Wives & Daughters, they are chunksters but i want to read them over the holidays!

Because I an such an indecisive reader, I am currently reading 3 books: the third Percy Jackson book, "The Amateurs" and "Two Orphans".
Hope your read..."


Don't worry that is me too!


message 23: by Jessie (new)

Jessie | 1 comments I know its later into the month but I'm currently reading Far From The Tree by Robin Benway, so far its pretty good!

Bah Humpug | 15 comments Just finished The Blood of Emmett Till. Excellent non-fiction read. I have too many fiction reads going on at the same time right now. Homegoing, The Power, and Lincoln in the Bardo.
