2023 Talking Time Book Club - Junior Effort

(they/them)
We've made it to the third year of our book club! I still think it went well. We're taking all the momentum and positive energy our book club had in '22 and moving it forward into '23. As always, if you've been lurking or looking for some books to read or people to read them with I hope you will join us!

Throughout the year we read 10 books taking July and December off. This is 2023's list:

January - The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
February - The Rithmatist - Brandon Sanderson
March - Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett
April - The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
May - Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado
June - The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin
August - Uprooted - Naomi Novik
September - Still Life by Louise Penny
October - Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
November - The Only Harmless Great Thing - Brooke Bolander

I'll be making a new thread for each book/month and linking to them here. I don't think anyone minds if you get your reading in early but please don't begin discussing the book until the month has started and let's keep spoilers out of discussion until the last two weeks or so of a month?

If you recommended one of these books and you've got a specific edition or version that you think is great please mention it and link it here if possible. Otherwise I look forward to reading with you all in January!

Thanks for the reminder! I was wondering where the new thread was. This will give me time to get through some other books on my backlog.
