Good plan! I'll be reading my own physical books as well. We are reading Zadie Smith's White Teeth next month for my Goodreads book group/chat, True Book Talk.

Probably shouldn't be a problem finding great stuff at the library. Welcome, and good luck!

The Princes in the Tower by Alison Weir The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley White Teeth by Zadie Smith The Witching Hour (Lives of the Mayfair Witches, #1) by Anne Rice The Devil in the White City Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson

Trying to finish The Princes in the Tower which I should have finished last month. Want to read the second book in the list before Tuesday (I'm going to see the movie). White Teeth is our True Book Talk read for Black History Month. The last two are long term reads (The Witching Hour is a reread...had to pick it up again because of the TV series).


Icy-Cobwebs-In-Space  (readingreindeerproximacentauri) | 159 comments Both Ninth House and Hell Bent are WELL WORTH reading! Lengthy! I reread Ninth House and then immediately followed with Hell Bent. Took 2 days each. Really great. Mind-expanding.
