Happy New Year all! Looks like lots of good titles that have been made available. I can't decide as yet which I will choose, as I am currently back logged reading for authors, but I would probably start at the top and just work my way down. X D

I'm looking forward to reading Edna Ferber's So Big. I'll keep checking Gutenberg to see if it's available.

I just checked my library. They have two copies! We can read it together whenever it fits into our schedule.

Great!

Hey, Lanelle! I can read So Big on Monday. Is that suitable for you? I found the book on Open Library (https://openlibrary.org/books/OL10998...).

I just checked the book out from my library. I'm good to start on Monday.

Awesome! I can't wait to discuss the book with you. :D

I changed the title of this thread to reflect the books that become available each January 1 (Public Domain Day).
