Readalong

hello and welcome to the monthly readalong here at the little reader!

this was born out of a few twitter/blog conversations with fellow book lovers.  we all have books that we’ve been meaning to read forever (go on you can admit it!), those pesky habitual dust collectors on our shelves that nag us to be read.  so, in attempt to be “well-read”, we’ll read them together and come back at the end of each month and discuss it.  simple enough.

PARTICIPATION: anyone and everyone may join in, and it is at your will.  if you see a book you’d like to read (or re-read) that is scheduled, all you have to do is show up at the end of the month for the discussion!  or, if you’ve already read it and would just like to talk about it, you are more than welcome to join as well.

DISCUSSION: please check back on this page for updates. each title will link to the discussion on the last day of the scheduled month.

    join me in my adventures and bookish encounters as a born-again english student. non-fiction to literary fiction, some YA and a dabbling of things in between. i'm adding books to the to-read pile faster than they can be read!
