The #hashtagbtigade selection for May is #widesargassosea and we will read a chapter a day! Comment below if you are joining us for this book! Anyone can join at any time, just know that my hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers, so don't read the post until you've read the chapter!

LitsyEvents ALSO I leave tomorrow for Europe so my posts will come at weird times of the day
I promise to post though!

Funny story, I had already drawn the BS number like a week ago because I'm in charge and can find out my own BS read early 😂 but didn't draw the DS number until after I had filled in the card! I couldn't believe when I pulled the 2!

Ok, I am being impulsive in-between folding socks! #queerbc will be starting in May

One LGBTQIA+ author will be selected each month and you can read anything they have written. At the end of the month you can discuss them, their works, and maybe stack a few new books.

Suggest authors below or through GoogleForms - https://forms.gle/sYFzHid61eSJRaHT9

I'll keep a list then randomly select 3, you guys will then vote and one author will be chosen

They Knew Mr. Knight | Dorothy Whipple

It's now April so that means it's time for one of our #PersephoneClub reads!
It's my pick this month and we'll be reading They Knew Mr Knight by Dorothy Whipple. This is a casual buddy read; read and comment on each other's posts and reviews as you see them. We usually aim to finish by the middle of the month but that's not written in stone. (5) And anyone is welcome to read along with us, of course!

#Pemberlittens our April #JaneAdjacent read has been chosen and we will start mid month. I will provide the exact date and reading pace when I get my copy of the book. This one has a bit of a fantasy magic element which will be interesting for sure and is book one of a series. Funnily enough I own book 2 and never realized (I bought it for the pretty cover).

I hope you're all well and enjoying the longer days.
FYI - keep your notes on Gleick's The Three Ages of Water and I'll post a discussion thread sometime this month.

Dear #OokBOokClub-ers,

I can draw up a reading schedule.

Repost for @TheAromaofBooks

I may regret this, because obviously I don't have enough buddy reads going on 😂, but is anyone interested in reading the Trixie Belden books with me? I'm thinking similar to the Nancy Drew readalong - one book a month with a few discussion posts? Since we read ND in the first half of the month & discuss on the 15th, I'm thinking Trixie in the second half & discuss on the 30th?

If yes, start this month or in April?
