January 2023 Reading Challenge: Match Your Flannel

Brown, tan, rose-pink, black, and a smidge of white

This is not an original idea, the matching of book covers to flannel, but one shared on Instagram by book-stackers across the land. Since I recently bought a new flannel scarf, I thought I'd give this reading challenge a whirl for January. Still cold outside. Still relevant. So, here's what I pulled off the shelf:

1.) Never Let me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro (amzn)

2.)  A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson (amzn) - It's a good read!

3.) Little Black Book of Stories by A. S. Byatt (amzn)

4.) The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E. Reichert (amzn)

5.) The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen (amzn)

 Happy reading!
