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

Oh, Canada! | Per-Henrik Grth

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 😊!

@BarbaraJean birthday fun 🎉

My birthday is in just under 3 weeks & l've been putting together a multi-year reading challenge to complete before 3/31/28 (my 50th birthday). I went through my physical shelves & TBR lists and chose 50 books l'd really like to finish before I turn 50. Then, I wrote prompts for each-so anyone who'd like to join me can choose their own books for the challenge. Who wants to read #50x50 along with me?

I‘ve had this on my shelf for a long time & I‘d really like to tackle it this year! Is anyone interested in a buddy read?

It‘s a trilogy of historical novels set in 14th-c Norway, originally published in 1920, 1921 & 1922. These would work well for anyone finishing the #192025 challenge this year. I‘m planning to use the first 2 books for 1920 &1921.
