GROUP READ Our June theme is Change and our group read for this month is 11/22/63 by Stephen King, where Jake Epping takes on the impossible task of preventing the Kennedy assassination through time travel.
CHALLENGES This month, we have new challenges with the theme of Change, and we’ll continue our two Spring quarterlies!
Monthly challenges Life Changes is an open challenge to read books in which characters go through a big life change. Change by Any Other Name is a prompt-based challenge based on synonyms of change.
Quarterly challenges TBR Spring Cleaning can be either an open or prompt-based challenge, depending on how you wish to clean up your TBR shelf. All About Spring has twenty prompts that are, yep, all about spring events, words, and phrases.
Do you have an idea for a new challenge? Please let us know! Most of our quarterly and monthly challenges grow from our members’ suggestions. We love hearing your creative ideas!
TBR TWINS Share a book with an online friend while knocking off a read from your TBR list!

BUDDY READS Let’s read some books together! Buddy reads are a great way to read and discuss a book together with fellow group members.
