These are great! We're going to have so much fun this year!

Ooh, what is this? This sounds intriguing

We cannot wait to have you, Jeffrey. :) Thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated. :)

Looking forward to trying out new authors in 2023.

Cool!

Looking forward to another year of great reads!

It will be awesome to have you all with us on the reads next year. :)

This is so awesome and looking forward to this in 2023 :-D

Very cool, Marie! Thanks for organising!

You are welcome! :)

I have another announcement to make!

KJK Publishing (Kevin J. Kennedy) has agreed to come be with us in March of 2023 for this book:

The Horror Collectio: Sapphire Edition

All the authors that are in this book are welcome to join us as we read the book.

We are looking forward to reading all the stories and interacting with the authors along with the publisher as well. :)

I've just purchased a copy of the Horror collection. I'm ready for March.

I've purchased 'Dark Observation,' too. So, ready for February as well.

Damn! Graeme, you're either flush with money now or building out your whole reading list in advance! Either way, I'm a little green-eyed over here.

Whoo-hoo! Excellent news! :)

Whoo-hoo Again! Some more excellent news! :)

Reading with this group gets prioritized in the budget.... 😉😎😀

I've had so much happening in the last few days that I'd forgotten I bought it a couple of days ago.

I'm intrigued by the idea of occult operations within (or preceding) the 2nd World War.

Awwww .... nice! Love this statement! ❤️

I just purchased Dark Observation and have borrowed Seeing Evil, Immunity, and The Horror Collectio: Sapphire Edition via Kindle Unlimited.

Kindle Unlimited is a good app for an avid reader.

Awesome Nyssa! Happy that you will be joining us for the reads! :)

I'm able to get an ecopy of Dark Observation at my local library . . . good news!

Awesome! :)

It's gonna be a great year! I need to ask for a cool calendar for Christmas to keep track of all of this fun!

I actually tried that this year, but it didn't work for me. I'm a moody reader and need an easier way to move things around.

So I created a sortable "group & buddy read" shelf here, allowing me to adjust the book locations accordingly.

Of course, I didn't think of it until after I had already overcommitted January 2023.

@Nyssa Ooh that's smart. My brain works better with lists I've written down so I have to commit on pen and paper or it didn't happen. But your shelf idea sounds really great

I agree with Nyssa! I've been using the shelf idea for a while now and it works wonders. Plus, I don't have random lists and spreadsheets written down somewhere. It's all digital.

Of course, it works for me because I've been e-reading exclusively for a while now.

2022 has been all ebooks for me as well. But I've challenged myself to concentrate on my personal (RL) bookshelf and to finish a few previously purchased/started series in 2023, so it will be a mix of paper and electronic next year.

I get that! Writing does help information stick in one's memory.

I have an announcement to make!

Author, Jonathan Janz has agreed to come be with us next year in July for the reading of his book The Raven. It is a mixture of horror/fantasy/sci-fi.

Here is the book: The Raven

The picture does not show in the app; could you add the link, please?

Nyssa wrote: "The picture does not show in the app; could you add the link, please?"

I did add the link but I will add it again. :)

The Raven

Thank you! 🙂

Edited to add: There was just a blank space after "Here is the book" neither the book cover nor the link showed.

Yay! This looks good!

Just to let you all know I did another revision on my digital artwork up above as we have two other authors joining us. However, the books are not officially out yet nor are there links on here (ŷ������) yet so I can only share the author pages with you in links.

Looking forward to having you Mia and to reading your book, Estate Sale! :)

Hey Mia! Thanks for joining us!

To round out the year for featured authors one more author has joined us and that is it for the year. I have revised my digital artwork to reflect all the authors that will be coming this year.

In November we will be having author, John Everson and will be reading his crime/horror thriller, Voodoo Heart.

Voodoo Heart

Great line up for 2023!
