But now it is a New Year and we are all hunkering down to read and discuss. It is a good variety. The Wreath is by an Nobel Prize Winner. Believe it or not, I have never read Dune and I am excited! Miss Burma was on my list of books I wanted to read last year. The Fifth Season was one of my Top 25 Books of 2017 and I convinced The Bookie Babes to try it, though not many of them have ever read fantasy. I hope they don't hate it.

What are your groups reading in January?
Tomorrow I will return to reviews of books I read in December.
I have Miss Burma on my reading wishlist... I look forward to reading your review of this novel.
ReplyDeleteI am quite interested in reading that one!
DeleteI read all three of the Kristin Lavransdatter books a few years ago, so I'll be interested to know what you think of The Wreath. I hope your group enjoys The Fifth Season!
ReplyDeleteI finished The Wreath the other day. We will discuss on Wednesday. I have conflicting feelings about it so a discussion will help me write my review. I will report on the next reading group update how it went with The Fifth Season!
DeleteI am currently reading Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus by Nabeel Qureshi for my church's book club. Happy club reading!
ReplyDeleteJessica, I so appreciate how you always answer my last question with what your group is reading! I must say, that is an interesting title. I look forward to your review.
DeleteI'll be interested to read your reaction to Dune. Once again it seems that you have a diverse reading list for January.
ReplyDeleteI too wonder how I will find Dune. I started it today and from what I have read, everyone is confused at the beginning. I can deal with that.
DeleteWOW, so may book groups Judy - are these online or in person. I am in one in person group - none online.
ReplyDeleteBook groups are my social life these days! They are all in person. What is your group reading this month?
DeleteI'd like to read Miss Burma too! I have read Dune but it was long ago -- I found it quite visual. All I recall is the giant sandworms, oh my! The Sidgrid Undset books are a favorite of a Swedish friend I have but I haven't gotten to them yet. Enjoy your reads.
ReplyDeleteMiss Burma is good! It reminds me a bit of Pachinko. Trying to penetrate the world of Dune now. I haven't gotten to the famous worms yet.
DeleteGood luck with all the choices! Come back and tell us how the discussions went down in your groups. :-)
ReplyDeleteOK, I will report on that in the next reading group update¡
DeleteWow you have a nice selection for January. My group is readings Picoult's, Small Great Things - we meet Wednesday. I read it when it was released and did the audio now. Liked it too. Should be a good discussion.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Thanks Diane. I always want to know what other groups are reading. I will start a new feature in my Reading Group Update in February: a recap of how the discussions of the previous month went. Stay tuned for that!
