The votes are in and our February book of the month has been decided! Drumroll please - it's Confess by Colleen Hoover!

"At age twenty-one, Auburn Reed has already lost everything important to her. In her fight to rebuild her shattered life, she has her goals in sight and there is no room for mistakes. But when she walks into a Dallas art studio in search of a job, she doesn’t expect to find a deep attraction to the enigmatic artist who works there, Owen Gentry.

For once, Auburn takes a chance and puts her heart in control, only to discover that Owen is keeping a major secret from coming out. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it.

To save their relationship, all Owen needs to do is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin..."

We'll begin reading this bad boy on February 1st through to February 29th.

Will there be some schedule for the reading in addition to the start and end date?

We won't have a reading schedule, so that everyone is able to read at their own pace, but there will be a discussion thread from Sunday the 21st of February for everyone to join once they've finished the book. We'll be posting more details closer to the start date :D

That's great! :) Reading schedules seems to be very popular in many groups, but for me they rarely work because some of my work days are too busy and then I fall behind schedule. So reading on our own pace is good news!

That's really great between a full time job , a baby & a husband it's sometimes hard to read, I'm glad !!! Thanks Guys

No worries at all! I personally find reading schedules put a lot of pressure on me, and we thought that had to be the case for a lot of people! I'd much prefer to read the book in my own time and then be able to gush over it later with everyone, and I'm glad this suits you both as well :)

Super excited! Ordered my copy yesterday and it should be delivered tomorrow! Woohoo for Amazon Prime! Lol

I'm, trying to finish reading Golden Lily before the first of Feb, so I can put my full attention on Confess.

Lol. I'm going to try and squeeze one book in after I finish my current read before I start confess on Monday.

I've just ordered my copy today...I'm so excited!

I just picked a copy up today at the book store and I can't wait to start reading!

The cover has me really interested :)

I'm really excited to start reading this book tomorrow! :)

It fun lily arrived in the mail today! Right on time.

Can't wait to read it. Trying to wait until I finish The 52nd but it's dragging SO. MUCH. it feels like it's taking forever and I'm only halfway through.

Is anyone reading a translation of the book instead of the original? I almost bought a German translation today, but was weirded out by what they did with the title. I'm fine with translating an English book title into German, but they went for keeping an English title.. but instead of just keeping "Confess", the book is called "Love and Confess" here. I thought that was a bit weird, and it took me a moment to even realize it's the same book and not a sequel! :P

I'll be starting the book today. I'm so so excited. This is also my first CoHo book!

Managed the finish my previous book (Red Queen) right in time and began reading Confess yesterday. So excited to discuss it with everyone!

Still waiting for my copy to arrive but I'm really excited to read it! It's going to be my first CoHo book as well!

I read a couple chapters of Confess today. I like the beginning of this story very much!

I got about forty pages in and I like it so far! I'll probably finish it tomorrow night since I'll have a couple hours of alone time after work. :)

I'm halfway in. I'm having mixed feelings for this book. Anybody who has finished it already?

My copy just came last night! I'm finishing a book at the moment, but I really hope I can start it next week!

Halfway in and have mixed feelings too! I'm curious how I'll feel at the end of the book.

OK I HAVE MY COPY AND I AM COMMENCING READING. Hold tight, guys. This is about to go from zero to one hundred real quick.

So excited that I already have this book :D and I know it will be a quick read (because Colleen Hoover always is!) so what's one more book club read in the shortest month of the year?! ;)

My copy still isn't here! Hopefully it will be here by the end of the week.

I finished this morning before work. I'll post my on here and my blog tonight when I get home :)

Hey everyone!
Just a quick heads up! I've completed the book and my review can found on my profile. We will discuss it in a new thread after the 20th.

Just posted my review too! On goodreads and my blog. :)

My copy arrived this morning! Can't wait to get started.

So i've read over 200 pages so far. I'm, liking this book a lot more than I thought I would. It's kind of, dragging on now, yet it is a shorter book, so that is kind of suspect.

about half-way through now and getting the feels. Though I'm not loving this as much as November 9 by CoHo

This book is starting off kind of slow for me... anyone else feeling the same?

I was really excited to start this, I'm on page 236 and I have a feeling I know where this is going

Just bought the book after having a major book hangover over Ugly Love last night. Into 52 pages and it is good so far yet I don't think that I will like it as much as Ugly Love or Maybe Someday.

At the second part right now and I'm starting to like it. Although this really won't compare to Maybe Someday, November 9, or Ugly Love.

I've just finished it! I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

I finished this yesterday, I really enjoyed it but there were some parts that were a bit predictable for me

I finished it as well and added my thoughts to my blog =)

I've just started ! I'm not too far in but so far I think it's pretty good!
