You're just so eager ^_^ I actually had a moment of doubt so maybe we've spread it amongst one another haha.

Girl Power always makes me feel like a spice girl ^_^ glad you're able to join in!

Who fears death sounds like a story I'd pick up anyway so looking forward to giving it a go.

Glad to hear it ^_^ I'm looking forward to reading some more genre fiction with lots of plot!

I've popped up a poll on what we should read in September, October & November https://www.goodreads.com/poll/list/1...
It will end on the 31st of May.

Who Fears Death is one of the books I frequently recommend to others. I just read the "prequel" or sorts, in case anyone wants more story - The Book of Phoenix.

At first I wasn't planning on reading all the books every month, but so far everything sounds interesting to me. Who Fears Death should fall on my doorstep in the next coming days, and very curious for it.

Aha thanks for the heads-up!

Hey! We don't have a group read in Jan/Feb so the whole year's reading list will be announced at once in February :D - welcome to the group!

Thank you! 😊

Hi Everyone, I hope your doing well.
May I suggest to perhaps put „Living a feminist Life“ by Sarah Ahmed in the reading list for this year? What do you think?
Kristin :)

Hi. I was wondering if we are doing a booklist for 2020? Thanks.
