Hi, everyone! This is the thread for the "Commit to one book monthly" challenge. In this thread, post one book you intend to read in February, so everyone else can see your pick. When you finish reading it, we'd love for you to come back and post your opinion. I expect everyone's TBRs to suffer because of this monthly reading challenge, but I'm prepared to make that sacrifice. Are you? :-D

Bonnie | 708 comments I'll commit to Salt & Broom by Sharon Lynn Fisher as it's a book I own on Kindle and it's listed as Fantasy/Historical Fiction/ Romance- and a few other things, so no matter what genre we do for the genre reads of February, it will work. Plus it sounds fun and I'm kind of procrastinating some books on my list that are "good for me." And it's a Jane Eyre ( a favorite classic) kind of retelling.

Good choice Bill! I'm reading it now and highly recommend it. I will add my political comments on my personal book updates and review!

I have 3 books to read for February group reads and will commit to the longest one (651 pages) - Great Circle by Maggie Shipstead.

I finished The Queen of Sugar Hill A Novel of Hattie McDaniel by ReShonda Tate .

Good story, and not one I knew except in the broadest strokes. The only thing that kept jerking me out of the story is the same issue I have with most recent historical novels -- they get the details right but the language wrong. Usually -- as in this book -- it takes the form of characters saying or thinking a phrase that wasn't in use at the time.

I'd like to read this one, too Bill. She does a great interview & was so impressive during the hearing.

Finished and an excellent read for February

Denise (derickert) | 1268 comments Finished Walk the Blue Line They Walk the Line between Life and Death by James Patterson , gave it 4 stars. I enjoyed this book very much. Each story was about the day in the life of each officer and range from regular beat cops, state troopers, ATF, FBI Agents and SWAT. The stories make you realize that there are many more good cops out there than bad ones, and they all deserve our respect for putting their lives in danger everyday just to protect us.

Pam (bluegrasspam) | 233 comments Well, I DNF’d my book after ~20 pages. I might try it again later this year. I just wasn’t interested in it right now.
