Hi everyone!

We finished up polling for our book club picks for April - June, and we have some amazing books to read coming up here in the spring! So here they are:

  • April: The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins

  • May: The Sword of Kaigen by ML Wang

  • June: Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson

If you are not a member, and you want to participate, make sure to sign up as a member here on Bindery and check out the pinned post about how the book club works. The book club is always free, but of course paid members get a lot of great stuff in addition to the book club (including early access to YouTube videos, a weekly reading update, picking a book for me to read each month, a private Discord server channel, and more)!

Also, if you are interested in getting these books to read, or any of the books I post about on here, you can order by clicking them either on my shelves or on this post here on Bindery, and buying through here helps me out a bit! It gives you the option to order fro Amazon or Bookshop (when available), which gives you a good choice.

Hope to see some new faces joining us here in the spring, and let me know if you have any questions! And of course, we are always welcoming new members to our Discord server, where we have a great community of people talking books, doing buddy reads, and sharing great bookish conversation. you can click the link in my profile, or when you join as a member you'll get an invite link. Hope to see some folks there as well!

And the book club winners are...

Every month on my Bindery and Discord, I host a monthly reading challenge where participants are eligible for a $25 @bookshop_org gift card. For March, the theme is rereading a favorite. I know not everyone is into rereading, but I want to tell you why I think it is really good for you! #readingchallenge #rereading


Auditing every fantasy and sci-fi series I'm reading | Which ones will make the cut?
Auditing every fantasy and sci-fi series I'm reading | Which ones will make the cut?
