We're Reading... 2021

Members are invited to keep track of their own reading list for the year using whatever format they like—maybe they feel like including a small shot of the cover, a review, their preferred wine pairing? Maybe they only list what they finish, or they want to list everything they’ve got on tap too!  Whichever route you choose, we’re excited to see which books you’ve lost yourself in

We ask only two things:

• Spoilers in spoiler tags, please!
• Don’t break the page or the code >.>

Don't forget, starting a discussion on one of your books can help to earn you our Charming Book Club Stamps!



For formatting and tracking ideas, refer to our 2019 Reading Lists! <3

There is no way in hell that I would keep a post here up to date. I am, however, aggressive about keeping my Goodreads page up to date!

Thus far, though, shoutouts to Song of Achilles and The Midnight Bargain for being SWELL <3
