The January topic for the Monthly Recommendations Goodreads group is best first books in a series, and wow, did I struggle with this one! I mean, obviously the first book has to be good enough to get me hooked, but in a lot of my favorite series, the first book isn’t necessarily my favorite. Continue reading

It’s time for another Monthly Recommendations post! The Goodreads group, which you can check out here, selected the best new to you authors as the topic for this month’s post, and it was a really fun list to put together. Continue reading
Monthly Recs: Books I’m Thankful For
The November topic for the Monthly Recommendations Goodreads group (which you can check out here) is books I’m thankful for.

Monthly Recs: Auto Read Authors
Oh my. So I decided to join the Monthly Recommendations group, which I found through Trina of Between Chapters when I watched her video on the August topic: Auto Read Authors. I know I should start with August’s topic, but the July topic is just too fun to pass up. After going through my shelves, it turns out my list of authors is a bit long…I guess if I like an author, I’m all in! Continue reading
