Bookzombie I love this series, but I always listen to them on audio. I love the accents. ☺️ 7y

robinb @Bookzombie I‘m not an audio person but hearing those accents WOULD be an incentive! 👍🙌😊 7y

britt_brooke @emilyhaldi Awesome - thank you! 7y

batsy @britt_brooke @emilyhaldi That's great! I've had it for so long and still unread; a readalong should be motivation 😀 7y

BarbaraBB Lovely picture 😍. I am also looking for a reason to finally read CoD. This buddy read might be it! 7y

drokka I really liked His Bloody Project. It was different. 7y

LauraBeth I‘m checking in to see if you‘ve read Mr. Rochester yet 😬 Wanted to get your thoughts before going into it 7y

LeahBergen @LauraBeth I haven‘t yet! I‘ve been wondering if I should do a reread of Jane Eyre beforehand or just jump in. 🤔 7y

LauraBeth I had a similar thought @LeahBergen since it‘s probably been ten years since I‘ve read Jane. 7y

readsusieread @MaureenMc so many people rave about both of those! I can't wait to dive I into one of them! 7y

readsusieread @Librariana same! I think once I finish the books I'm reading now - I might start Exit West! 7y

Thanks, Obama: My Hopey Changey White House Years | David Litt

I'm not sure if there are any parameters with the #5in2018 or just 5 you commit to reading but here you go. This helps with my goal of catching up on BOTM. Thanks @RebelReader for the tag. I tag @LeahBergen @cobwebmoth and @LauraBeth if you haven't already done it.

mrozzz The Power and the Animators are fab! Hope you enjoy them! I‘m also looking forward to Thanks Obama. 😊 7y

RebelReader I'm looking forward to Eleanor, Thanks Obama and The Power too! 😍 7y

ErikasMindfulShelf I loved

Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

A Little Life: A Novel | Hanya Yanagihara

Thanks @mrozzz for tagging me. This was hard because I have so many picked for all my 2018 reading challenges. Here are my #5in2018. I guess it's pretty evident I like the Chunksters!
If you haven't already posted your picks, give it a go @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Tamra @LeslieO

mrozzz All hail the chunksters! 🙌🏻 I hope you like A Little Life ☺️ 7y

Christine11 Prepare yourself for major emotions in A Little Life !! 😊 7y

Cinfhen Those are some big books, and the two I've read we're wayyyyyy worth the #pagecountphobia 💟💟💟I'm interested in reading

Revolution of Marina M.

shaynarae A Little Life is one of my favorite books! Definitely not for the faint of heart, but so worth it. 7y

RebelReader @shaynarae I have heard that from so many Littens. I've avoided it because I hate the cover, but when I got it for a buck at a library sale I decided to power through! 😂 7y

RebelReader @Cinfhen I hope Marina M is fabulous because it's going to be a trilogy! 😊 7y

BookEmDana Heartbreaking read but one I think about often 7y

shaynarae @RebelReader The cover is awful. I avoided the book for a long time for the same reason. 7y

Pachinko | Min Jin Lee

Gah this was so hard!! Thanks to @MicheleinPhilly and @Centique for the challenge to choose my #5in2018

An honorable mention is a nonfiction, American Sickness by Elizabeth Rosenthal which @Riveted_Reader_Melissa got me looking forward to.

If you haven‘t already made your picks, give it a try @ReadOrDieRachel @wrenaymuhree @bookloo @RebelReader

Centique Ooh there‘s some good ones in there! 7y

MicheleinPhilly Excellent choices! 7y

wrenaymuhree I just started Pachinko yesterday...I can already tell it‘s going to be an emotional ride. 😢 7y

See All 12 Comments

mrozzz @Centique Yay! I had fun pulling from my massive TBR but I almost am too anxious to start any of these because I have such high expectations! 7y

mrozzz @MicheleinPhilly thanks! I hope they all hold up! Maybe some potential ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘s 7y

mrozzz @wrenaymuhree that‘s what I hear! It‘s been built up so much... maybe I‘ll give it a try next month 🤔 7y

wrenaymuhree I also loved LFE! That was a great one w/ rich layers. It was a 5🌟 read for me! My Absolute Darling has merit but it‘s a very difficult book to choke down. Interested to hear your thoughts on both! 7y

mrozzz @wrenaymuhree Ok! Yay! I went to see the authors of both books and especially loved what Tallent had to say about his process and why he wrote the story the way he did... I‘m hoping that will help me get into/through it. I really need to move these to the top of my TBR and stop checking books out from the library 😅 7y

readordierachel Good picks! Can't wait to see what you think of My Absolute Darling. 7y

mrozzz @ReadOrDieRachel Thanks! I feel like it‘ll be a favorite read of 2018 or I‘ll absolutely pan it... I‘m sort of scared to hate it though which is why I‘ve put off reading it for 4 months 🙈 7y

emilyhaldi Great stack!! Someday I am going to get to this...

The Resurrection of Joan Ashby: A Novel

mrozzz @emilyhaldi Thanks! And let me know when you do! Then maybe I can hold myself accountable and get to it myself! 7y
