It's really that time again, yes.
It's time to schedule out our book club readings for the coming year. I've asked a few new people to join the ranks and host a month. You'll also note that none of the books on the list below are epic novels, thereby allowing everyone time enough to read the book during the month it is being discussed. Another thing you'll recognizing is that the book club reads are being combined with the annual reading challenges which I host here at Reading to Know. The RtK Book Club will be combined with the Lucy Maud Montgomery Challenge in January and the Chronicles of Narnia Reading Challenge in July. This will also help to simplify the reading year, allowing for greater ease in participation.
One additional note: it recently came to my attention that using the description of "book club" seems to insinuate that if you commit to being a part of it, you are signing up for all 12 reads. That's not true! (But I also can't think of a better name for this than a "club" because we read the books and then "come together" to discuss.) Having no better term or label for this, we call it a book club but we invite you to read as you are interested and able. If there are only 3 books on this list of interest to you, please feel free to join in just for those three books! Of course, we hope everyone will play along as much as possible and share their thoughts on the books which they end up reading. We hope you'll make new bookish friends and read authors that you might not have otherwise picked up all on your own. The point is always to have fun so use this "club" in a manner that best suits you and your family.
Now, without further ado, let's move on to the books selected for the upcoming year, shall we?

I have actually read a few of these, but really, this is a good excuse to read them again, especially my favorites by Tozer and Lewis! I may participate more than I anticipated!
Woohoo! I'm so excited to be joining in again this year - the list contains several books I've been intending to read for ages so now I've got some impetus to actually do so!
I read a couple of these just this year but see several others I am looking forward to.
Trying to simplifiy my reading list and get through some of my favorite authors I had decided to choose 3 authors to read all next year. But, now you have enticed me to jump in on a few of these. Altough Montgomery is an author I chose for next year, January I will continue reading the Anne Series and pick up other series later in the year. February and September reads have been on my list for a while so I many join in to get them knocked out! Thanks for hosting yet another year! Always fun!
I was just telling Husband that I wanted to reread The Screwtape Letters. So, I'm happy about this year.
A few of these have been on my TBR list for years, and some of the others that I'm not as acquainted with... I still want to read! Very excited about 2015's reading line-up.
So slow to getting around, but I definitely want to participate in several of these months! Thanks for hosting, Carrie. Maybe one year I'll get it together to host a month myself. :)
How exciting!!! :D
You know which one I'm most excited about? Christy!!!
A book club that I don't have to feel guilty about if I don't have time to participate every month? Woot, count me in for January and July for certain; hopefully the whole year if life doesn't get in the way. ;-)
I'm in!
Wooo hooo. I am now prepared to participate. I have my February book and will commence reading today! Thanks for organizing this, Carrie.
And I just posted about it. ;)
