Announcing the 10th Anniversary Reading Week Club!

Thank you to everyone who took part in the 1952 Club and, yes, I still indeed to read lots more posts(!) – and thank you especially to everyone who submitted ideas for the special 10th anniversary club reading week in October. The idea that came up from quite a few people was a centenary celebration – hence the 1925 Club! Karen and I thought it was a brilliant idea, and also looks like an exceptional year for books. Here’s the new badge…

We all love efficiency in our reading challenges – so an added bonus to the 1925 Club is that you can also contribute your reviews to Neeru’s Hundred Years Hence reading challenge, which is going throughout the whole year.

I can’t believe Karen and I started the club 10 years ago, and I am so thankful that she said yes to my initial idea, and has so diligently co-hosted the clubs ever since. They go from strength to strength, in terms of numbers, and I’m excited to see how things go 20-26 October this year. (This will overlap with our first reading challenge – which was apparently a fortnight! Gosh, we were ambitious back in 2015.)

As a celebratory 10th anniversary, we’re adding a special anniversary element. Throughout the week, you’re welcome to celebrate favourite reads from past clubs (whether that’s over 10 years or one year, or anywhere in between – as usual with these challenges, it’s low pressure and highly flexible). We’ll be dedicating the Thursday 23 October to celebrating those.
