Happy almost-May, readers! Our selection for the month is Crank by Ellen Hopkins. Hopkins‘ books were banned more frequently than any other author‘s in recent years.
Also, watch for discussion questions for our April read, The Perks of Being a Wallflower coming soon.

Calling all Kindred Spirits! We‘ll be continuing the #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead with an #LMMReread of Rilla of Ingleside, then an #LMMAdjacent title: Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter (a contemporary of LMM and a fellow author who published with the nefarious L.C. Page Co.).

Ready for another round with our favorite boy detective? Time to put in your hold or otherwise grab a copy of the tagged for May.
Looking at the cover of the 1967 edition with the polar bear, I remember the solution to that particular mystery! It‘s weird what sticks from childhood, huh?

I was invited to be part of this podcast in Singapore where we talked about book clubs. Naturally, I mentioned the Litsy community, including #CampLitsy24 which is now #CampLitsy25, the #EuropaCollective and a few other book clubs I am a part of. I am only in the first seven minutes. Happy listening!

This is very low key—no tag list, so feel free to participate how often you would like. I am reading one nonfiction a month that looks beyond the history found in schools.
If you would like to participate, post your book and thoughts each month, using #RealHistory and/or #HonestHistory . I‘ll make a bibliography for those interested.

If you‘d like to donate to give my Daytonators a book of their choice, this is how I want to spend my birthday. My goal as a reading teacher besides standards is to encourage reading for pleasure through choice. If you donate as little as $1 I will knit you a beautiful bookmark & send it to you. WIN-WIN-WIN Please share. #Tammyturns50

Hello Shardlakians! Hope everybody is enjoying HEARTSONE. I‘m finding it hard to stop reading!
Our next discussion will be this Monday 31/3, over chapters 1-26. Have a fabulous weekend! 🤩
Just wanted to put this out to those who are participating (or thinking of) - is there a particular genre you'd like to read next and if you like voting on the next pick or would rather I just pick one book? I'm happy to go any way - want to pick books that people are interested in reading! I was thinking another historical fiction for the next read and then maybe something lighter in the summer. Always love hearing from you all 😊!
