#1954Club: post your reviews

The 1954 Club has started! Karen and I are asking everyone to read one or more books published in 1954 – in any language, format, or place – and share your reviews. Together, we’ll put together an overview of the year. I think it’s our 14th club year, which is incredible.

Pop a link to your review in the comments, and I’ll put together an overview of all the links. It can go to blog, social media, GoodReads, wherever – if you have nowhere to post a review, feel free to put it in the comments.

Excited to see how everyone found 1954!
