Hi All! Happy Feb!
This is just a fun little meme that Carole and I are going to try and do once a month. Give a little shout-out and "badge" of honor to our favorite book of the month!
For January, Carole has decided to give the trophy to.........Eidolon by Grace Draven.
"I picked this as the book of the month because I could hardly put this down. I enjoyed the first of the series, but this was even better. There was so much going on. So much drama and it really made me feel and think. This is an interesting world and interesting character. I can't wait for more. That is why I picked this for book of the month."
Now, My pick.........................Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick.
"I cannot say I had a best book for January. They were all kind of the same. Good, but nothing that was totally amazing. Instead, I will go for the most interesting book, which of course was Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick. It had me thinking, and it sure made me NOT want to live in North Korea. So that is my pick for January."

What was your favorite book of the month? Please share below!
I had a good month but if I have to pick a favorite it would be News of the World by Paulette Jiles (audiobook).
ReplyDeleteI have to take a look at that one
DeleteGlad you guys enjoyed your books. My favorite book this month would have to be The Bourbon Thief by Tiffany Reisz. I hope you both find great books in February.

I have yet to try her
DeleteI tried to read Grace Draven's books, but couldn't get into it. The North Korea book sounds scary tbh!
ReplyDeleteThe first one was awesome, but that was this series
DeleteI really enjoyed Master of Crows by Grace Draven, so I'll have to look into the Wraith Kings series too!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the Wraith more :) Master was good, but not amazing
DeleteI quit on that series by Draven. Welp.
ReplyDelete;)
DeleteI NEED to read Eidolon! I bought it but forgot to read lol
ReplyDeleteKaren @For What It's Worth
you so do
DeleteMmm I think I wouldn't want to live in Nth Korea without reading the book, but I guess the book cemented it for you!!
ReplyDeleteI am sure it looks nice...just as long as I could live where no one else lives, and never meeting anyone else who totes would throw me in a camp
DeleteIt is so freaking scary
ReplyDeleteI so need to read more about North Korea. I will keep an eye out for this one.
ReplyDeleteThere are quite a few
DeleteI think my favorite is The Turn by Kim Harrison :)

DeleteI like this new feature! Good to know which books caught your attention each month. I didn't have a great January, lots of good books, but none that are phenomenal (ie. no 5 stars).

Carole talked about movies too, so I hope we will expand to best movie too :)
DeleteI love your 'Best of the Month' meme idea. I'm always curious what books people enjoy. Mine was Gemina by Amie Kauffman and Jay Kristoff.
ReplyDeleteI have not read that one yet!
DeleteYou two picked such different books. My favorite was Infini by Krista Ritchie.
ReplyDeleteNice :)
Deletetwo different books there
ReplyDeletewow two very different books, but must both be equally as amazing to win the book of the month! stood out
ReplyDeleteThat they did
DeleteIt's nice to find a book you really like.
ReplyDeleteOh both sound intriguing. I think I already knew I didn't want to live in N. Korea though. ;)
ReplyDeleteScary thought
Deleteoh I love Grace Draven and I had a blast with Eidolon....so much happened but I loved it.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun series
DeleteI love that you share the best of the month! Great to see and remember the month.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteGood to have a book that makes you think. Hope you have a knock out read or two in Feb :)
