Hey everyone,
Happy Friday. As you know if you follow us on Facebook or Instagram, yesterday we announced the list of books we will be reading in 2020. Here it is (in order):
We curated this list with your help. In fact, most of these books were chosen because many of you asked for them, or because you expressed an interest in discussing more books by a particular author (see: Greene, Graham). Or, as in the case of The Catcher in the Rye, because you won the auction item that gave you opportunity to choose a book. (Yes, you can blame those auction winners if you hate that book! :) ) We always cover at least one book geared more toward children and families and it seems right to finally turn to Ann with an E. She will be a fascinating counter point to young Holden Caulfield, we figure.
We’re excited about this list. Hopefully you are, too.
Affiliate Links
Many of you already own these books, or at least several of them, but if you’re planning to buy any (or maybe just want to get your hands on a different edition), then we’d sure appreciate it if you purchased using these affiliate links with Amazon:
Anne of Green Gables (and here is a nice box set of the whole series)
Please note: Just by following these links you can help us out when you purchase these books in any format. Same goes for Christmas shopping, too, it turns out.
