Buzzwords Challenge

 Books and Lala sponsors the Buzzword Reading Challenge on Storygraph. The goal is pretty simple--just read one book per month which has the following prompt words in the title. I decided that I just don't have enough reading challenges, so here we go for one more...

I'll post my tentative picks below and will update as I go along.

January--There/Their/They're: There Is a Tide by Agatha Christie (1/14/24)

February--Positive/Happy Words (sweet, cute, joy, etc): A Fete Worse Than Death by Dolores Gordon-Smith [fete = fun frolic/carnival]
