Oh my goodness, you guys. I’m so behind on my Calendar Girls Books post for this month! It’s not even funny. I am glad, however, to finally be able to share it with you! This month’s prompt is Eleven (Strangest Book You’ve Ever Read) and let me tell you…it was a tough one for me to figure out. I had to scroll through my Goodreads all the way into 2016 before I could make my choice! And even then, I wound up with 4 honourable mentions that I just had to feature, haha. Continue reading to see what my top pick is and what other participants have chosen too!
⤖ About Calendar Girls ⬻
Hosted by Katie @ Never Not Reading and Darque Reader Reads. Calendar Girls is a monthly blog event created by Melanie at MNBernard Books, and Flavia at Flavia the Bibliophile, and will now be hosted by me, Katie. It is designed to ignite bookish discussions among readers, and was inspired by the 1961 Neil Sedaka song, Calendar Girl. Just like the song, each month has a different theme. Each blogger picks their favorite book from the theme, and on the first Monday of the month reveals their pick in a Calendar Girls post. Make sure to post back to the hostess’s post, and I will make a master list for the month. The master lists allow everyone to see the other Calendar Girls’ picks and to pop on over to their blogs. Thus, we all get to chat about books and even make some new friends!
