This discussion thread is to mark your completion of the February challenge to fulfill prompt #43 A book that takes place entirely in one day. This prompt was selected in honor of Groundhog Day, a North American tradition observed in the US and Canada on February 2! This derives from a Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and sees its shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat to its den, and winter will continue for 6 more weeks! If it does not see its shadow due to cloudiness, spring will arrive early! Per Wikipedia: Though this tradition remains popular in the 21st century, studies have found no consistent association between a groundhog seeing its shadow and the subsequent arrival of spring-like weather. (Just so you know this tradition hasn't been proven to be a scientifically reliable predictor! :))

Please include the following information about this book:

Ariel | 126 comments Title: After Dark
Author: Haruki Murakami
Would you recommend this book? Maybe� It was quite weird but interesting. Bit of a slow start but by the middle I was hooked by Mari’s story (Eri’s bits were just confusing). But it ended too soon without any resolution.

Title: Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
Author: Winifred Watson
Recommend? Definitely! This was a fun and quick read. Absolutely delightful!


message 9: by Erica (new)

Erica | 1234 comments Title: Magic Tides
Author: Ilona Andrews
Recommend?: Yes but you have to be familiar with the series first, a.k.a 10+ books. Alternate Atlanta where magic and technology swing back and forth.

Author: Riley Sager
Would you recommend this book? Yes, you definitely have to suspend a little belief, but it is worth the ride.
