2025: Three Charming Reads (selection thread) - Aldous Crouch - January 19, 2025
Inspired by the "12 book recommendations from 12 friends" trend, I thought I would adapt this for Charming! It is: simple.
- Each person interested had two weeks to suggest 3-5 books they really really like. the suggestions thread can be found here!
- Choose three books suggested by your fellow Charmers that YOU will endeavour to add to your 2025 TBR!
Kayte's Selections!

The Age of Innocence

So, I decided not to cheat and did not include the books that were already on my TBR (Bee's A Curious Beginning and MJ's The Finest Print; also I just finihsed Earl Crush which Lady recommended xD
I also have a prettier copy of Age of Innocence so I included that cover instead of the one MJ supplied :P

I am going with The Golem & the Jinni, the Lies of Locke Lamora and Delilah Green! I have two in my possession and the third has been surprisingly hard to find! XD
I will also read the Davenports, the Age of Innocence & Ne're Duke Well, but I've had one on my shelf for a year, so like Kayte, didn't choose things already on my TBR lol
RE: 2025: Three Charming Reads (selection thread) - Gus Lissington - January 19, 2025
I added The Thursday Murder Club, A Curious Beginning, Age of Innocence and House of Gold to my TBR. (Had my three picked, but Steph got me with historical fiction and WWI, so alas, now I have four.) Now which one to read first xD

Tentative picks are: The Naturalist Society, Time To Orbit: Unknown, Small Things Like These
Earl Crush and The Golem and The Jinni were runners-up, but I don't tend to read that many books a year so that may be pushing it for ambition xD
