Thank you! I have already read American Marriage, have Nightingale downloaded for when I finish Eight Years tonight, and put the Feb book on my hold list, so I'm feeling very prepared!

thanks!! I've read American Marriage so hopefully I can get a jump start on the other books here.

My goal is to be more proactive in the 2019 book club discussions. I’m excited about these selections.

Is there a way to pin this post to the top?

I'm excited to dive into these. A woman at work said The Children of Blood and Bone is not only good, but leaves you with book hangover!

I read it for an in-person book club a few months ago. It's definitely good, and definitely leaves you wanting to read the next one. I believe it is the first book in what will become a trilogy.

I've actually read half the books for 2019 already, so I will try to read the others and participate! Thankfully I think I read most of them in 2018 so hopefully my memory won't completely be garbage and I can remember things to contribute. It may also prompt me to do a re-read of the Nightengale, which I loved the first time around but it's been a few years so details are fuzzy.

These look like some great pics! Excited to read these and getting back to posting on this board more.

I updated the 2018 post to be for 2019 I had to do the same thing last year, it was originally the 2017 post
EllieArroway, want to assign mod duties for this board for 2019 so I can create a brand new post for 2020? Haha
