It’s starting to feel a little like Spring here in the UK, but it’s still very cold, a perfect excuse to stay inside and read. Thank you so much to everyone who has joined in with our new challenge in 2023, lots of you in our book group have been sharing your reads.
As you know, we are keeping with an inclusive challenge again this year with the three options, Easy, Hard, and Super Reader. This year’s monthly category will be, “Read the Rainbow”, a different colour will be picked each month, and you can choose to either read a book with that coloured cover or with the colour in the title. There will also be an alphabetical challenge, once again by author’s name.
