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.
Fabulous Simon! Looking forward to it already :-)
That’s a brilliant plan. And I have already read and piled up some 1925 books this year as inspired by Neeru.
So looking forward to this one – it looks a great year, and it will be lovely to celebrate our previous clubs too!
I’m glad you decided on 1925 – it should be a great year. I love the new badge as well!
Love the badge! Hopefully I’ll get my act together in time to participate!
Brilliant, looking forward to it!
Oh hurrah: Does this mean I revisit Gatsby?
Awesome!
1925 will be fun!
Thank you for the shout-out, Simon. Very kind of you. 1925 was a wonderful year. I am looking forward to all the reviews. I am also excited about the celebration of favourite reads. It’d be fun to read everybody’s favourites.
So glad to see that this idea proved popular! I shall endeavour to get my act together well in advance this time…
What a beautifully designed image for this next convocation.
Thank you so much!
That’s a great choice. I had that same idea but I am sure I was not the only one. I have read already quite a few books about that year, but I already found some others. Looking forward to it. Thanks for organizing this.
I will have to see if there’s anything TBR but I usually make an exception for your and Kaggsy’s Weeks and make a purchase if not!
Hope you find something good!
