The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

First book of the year! Unraveller

The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah

The Book of Everlasting Things by Aanchal Malhotra just came out in December 2022. It's a beautifully written story that takes place around and after the time of the Partition of India and Pakistan.

The Sunbearer Trials This was seriously good and could also be used for tons of others prompts.

Animal Farm

The Watchmaker of Filigree Street, by Natasha Pulley

The Blame Game by Sandie Jones

I finished How Winston Delivered Christmas by Alex T. Smith . Delightful Advent activity book about a cute mouse that found a letter to Santa Claus. The journey to the North Pole takes 24 chapters of fun, activities, artwork, and adventure. Enjoy !

I read The Whisper Man by Alex North which was an excellent psychological thriller.

I read and listened to Remote Control by Nnedi Okorafor. The audiobook was published by Macmillan Audio

I just finished Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet by Darynda Jones. The main character, Charlie Davidson, is the grim reaper.

Love this author and that series! Hope you enjoy it!

I read When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain by Nghi Vo, 4 Stars

I read Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell for this prompt.

All the Dangerous Things is a fantastic new book!! I listened to the Macmillan Audio audiobook

II listened to Uncomfortable Conversations with A Black Man. I didn’t realize Macmillan was the publisher until I started listening to it. The book and narrator were excellent! Excellent!

I’m going to listen to Disorientation on audiobook

Under the Whispering Door and I Wonder As I Wander (ebook version)

I READ the House in the cerulean sea in Feb

Love the Charlie Davidson Series!

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. I am not a fan of this author, but it fills the prompt.

I read Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell

Don't Go by Lisa Scottoline
4.5 stars This could also go under prompt about wars other that WWI and WWII. Partly set in Afghanistan war. Also has a funeral for that prompt.

I’m reading ‘A Court of Thorns & Roses’ by Sarah J. Maas - and unpopular opinion, I find it really slow and uninteresting….

Just realized that the publisher of The Silent Patient is under the Macmillan umbrella. ✔️

The Long Call - Ann Cleeves

I listened to . Typical Nora Roberts; not one of her best.

I listened to Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing

I read A Sunlit Weapon by Jacqueline Winspear

Macmillan Audio

WOLFPACK: How to Come Together, Unleash Our Power, and Change the Game by soccer great Abby Wambach
I recommend this short listen for anyone who interacts with humans. There is a young adult version for the less mature humans in your life.

The Second You're Single by Cara Tanamachi

"The Highway" by C.J. Box, published by Minotaur Books, an imprint of St. Martin's Publishing Group

The Blame Game by Sandie Jones - 1/5

James Herriot's Favorite Dog Stories by James Herriot 5 stars because I love dog stories and I love anything by James Herriot.

I read "The World Without Us" by Alan Weisman

If you're still seeking a book for this prompt, I can't recommend Open Throat highly enough. It was one of the most amazing novels I have ever read. It would also fit for a book under 200 pages.

I read The Night Swim by Megan Goldin

I read Hello Stranger by Katherine Center. Fun, romantic read.

I read Brick Dust and Bones by M.R. Fournet for this prompt. It was published by Feiwel and Friends, one of Macmillan's imprints.

is there a difference between "Published by Macmillan" and *Distributed by Macmillan*. Macmillan Distribution is the mother ship for a LOT of publishers.

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

I hope not because my choice is by Flatiron books, an imprint of MacMillan. I say any of their imprints counts.....

G-d Save the Mark by Donald Westlake. What happens when the world's most gullible schlimazel inherits a fortune.

I finished Olga Dies Dreaming by Xochitl Gonzalez. I thought out was just ok. It was published by a MacMillan imprint

I listened to Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

Cheddar Off Dead by Korina Moss 2/4/23

All the Sinners Bleed by S. A. Crosby

The Raft by S.A. Bodeen. I was doing a long-term substitute teaching job earlier this year, and I had to read this book to my 8th grade advisory class. It was a little bit gory at times, but I enjoyed it. And they LOVED it! Even the rowdy boys who tried to act like they weren't listening were answering questions about the story!
