Last year I challenged myself to read one book per month from Persephone Books, and tracked it using the hashtag #PersephonePick. This year I'll still be reading from Persephone, and invite any and everyone to join me! There is no set structure- you can choose any title and read a book per month, or one for the year, or anything in between; the idea is to discover new authors or a great new story. Anyone else wanna grab a #PersephonePick for '22?
MaureenMc Ooo, I‘ve got a couple of Persephones on my shelves I‘ve yet to read. This will be the nudge I need to finally get to at least one of them this year! 2y
quietjenn Most definitely! I have more than a few Persephones kicking around that really deserve some attention. 😊 2y
KristiAhlers Please tag me in these. I love this idea. 2y

MarianaLeahBergen Certainly! I read only 3 (I think?) last year and have LOTS on my shelves, calling my name. 2y
AnneCecilie I want to read Persephones, but I don‘t know where to start. Do you have any recommendations? (edited) 2y
Andrea313 @AnneCecilie Such a great question! Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day is a true Persephone classic, and my recent favorite from them is The Fortnight in September. They make recommendations to new readers as well, which you might find useful: https://persephonebooks.co.uk/pages/may-we-recommend 2y
Andrea313 @Ruthiella I hope you love Mariana! It took me a little bit to get into it, but it seemed to suddenly catch me all at once and then I tore through it. I can't wait to hear your thoughts! 2y
elkeOriginal @Ruthiella That is on my TBR as well! 2y
elkeOriginal @LeahBergen I remember planning to read one a month in 2021. I failed. 2y
elkeOriginal This is a good nudge to get some of my Persephones READ. 2y
Andrea313 @elkeOriginal That's why I started my own personal challenge last year! I had too many collected and sitting on my TBR but just hadn't picked them up. And I'm so glad I finally did, because they really made for great reading. 2y
rubyslippersreads Please tag me! I have a big stack plus some ebooks. One I‘ve been wanting to read for ages is the Queen Mum‘s favorite,Lady Rose and Mrs Memmary 2y
Lady Rose and Mrs Memmaryrubyslippersreads @elkeOriginal @Ruthiella Mine too! 2y
elkeOriginal @rubyslippersreads Lady Rose is one of my all time favorites! 2y
elkeOriginal @rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella A buddyread, perhaps?Mariana 2y
MarianaRuthiella @elkeOriginal @rubyslippersreads I‘d be up for that! 👍 2y
rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella @elkeOriginal Sounds great! 2y
elkeOriginal @rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella Super! There is a lot going on right now but let‘s think about spring? Are you on StoryGraph? They have a buddyread feature it might be fun to check out. I am elke_go_read over there if you want to hook up… 2y
Ruthiella I am on StoryGraph but haven‘t updated in probably a year? 😬 But my handle is the same “Ruthiella”. I will try to resurrect my password! 2y
rubyslippersreads @elkeOriginal I just friended and followed you on StoryGraph. @Ruthiella It would only let me follow you. I haven‘t used SG much, so my stats, etc. are way behind. 2y
Ruthiella @elkeOriginal @rubyslippersreads I just sent you both friend requests on StoryGraph. 😊 2y
elkeOriginal @Ruthiella @rubyslippersreads We are all set! I will set up that SG buddyread! What is cool is that it seems to hide comments until you reach the same page number - to avoid spoilers. Brilliant! 2y
