IN OUR READERS’ WORDS

I really enjoy the book lists in the various challenges.  I had gotten into a rut, and doing the challenges really pulled me out!  They included books I never would have pulled off my library’s shelves.

Tammy W.

I love the monthly lists and the excitement leading up to the release of those. I like how you expose me to books I didn’t know about, and I enjoy the community you have pulled together.

Kristi C.

The lists are a way for my daughter and me to connect, even though we live far apart. We pull up the lists and talk through the choices together. Then we share our thoughts about the books as we read them as well.

Shari S.

I adore your attitude which is reflected in your book challenge themes, the books themselves, the WORK put into choosing, describing, and supporting those books, and your newsletters.

Victoria B.

I enjoy the personal experience of feeling like you are among friends and the variety of books to choose from. The website is easy to navigate, and I look forward to the weekly emails with more information on new books to consider.
