February Novel Picks: The Secret Garden & Take a Chance on Me
I am selecting The Secret Garden for the first prompt (Read a book involving friendship) and Take a Chance on Me for the second one (Read a book with something sweet on the cover).
~ JANUARY ~ Theme: RESOLUTIONS – Prompt 1 (read a book that you meant to complete last year) – Book Lovers & Prompt 2 (read a book that is part of a series that you have already started) – A Tale of Beauty and Beast (Beyond the Four Kingdoms #2).
~ FEBRUARY ~ Prompt 1 (read a book involving friendship) – TBR & Prompt 2 (read a book with something sweet on the cover) – TBR.
I can’t believe the first month is complete for this challenge for another year in a row! I am very excited to attempt to read 24 more novels from my endless TBR backlist. My first two novels of the year were great and were authors that I have enjoyed in the past. I am very excited to now read my next two novels. Although I read The Secret Garden when I was little, I don’t really remember the actual writing, so I consider it a new read. The other novel just sounded like fun, plus I loved that it had a catchy song title.
HAPPY READING!
