I need to really focus on the books on my shelf at home. Those books include:
Firefly Lane Little Fires Everywhere All These Things That I've Done by Matt Pinfield Too Late to Say Goodbye by Ann Rule Bossy Pants by Tina Fay My Name is Memory
And the more I hear about Ready Player One I want to add that to my list too!
Has anyone talked about group reads on this board in 2018?
I really enjoyed Big Little Lies, and Everything Everything is cute, quick read. I haven't seen the movie yet but I think it will translate well.

Balson My Not So Perfect Life by Sophie Kinsella One Thousand White Women by Jim Fergus Still Missing by Chevy Stevens Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid I Feel Bad About My Neck by Nora Ephron Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty The Alice Network by Kate Quinn

Hi! I read a ton of books last year thanks to nursing and pumping so much, and now that I'm cutting back on that I'm hoping to carve out time to keep up with my reading. My TBR list is really long and ever changing. A lot is shaped by what is available from the library to get on my kindle.
The books I have on hold at the library right now are Artemis by Andy Weir Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer (Jan book club pick) Origin by Dan Brown
I'm going to attempt the popsugar challenge with my SIL and BIL. Some books I have penciled in to start with are Missoula by Jon Krakauer (true crime) The Girl in the Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz (nordic noir) They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera (LGBTQ protagonist) Will Grayson Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan (book by 2 authors)
I have 500 books on my goodreads lists, about 100 of those are non-fiction/memoir. I don’t really have specific ones I am focused on reading and take the app to the library with me and look for what’s available, or if something keeps being mentioned here or is for a book club or I’ve been thinking about I will put it on hold. I find that I crave certain genres or series here and there, then I’ll seek out one of those. I was craving a Murder mystery last week and picked one up earlier this week. I should cull the goodreads list but I’m not sure where to start.
