Starting in 2025, Book Club will be a little different. Instead of running for four weeks on - one week off, it will be ran on a monthly basis. For example, this reading session will begin on January 1st and end on January 31st. The review session and the next book club session will run at the same time. It will become more clear as we continue, and if you have any questions, please let me know!
Book Club 44
→ Reading Session: January 1st - January 31st
→ Review Session: February 1st - February 28th
Book Club 45
→ Reading Session: February 1st - February 28th

Welcome to all of the witchy book-lovers here in the forum!
Thank you again to everyone who joined in for last month’s reading session! For those who haven’t yet shared their thoughts about their book (or anyone who enjoys reading book reviews!) you still have time to do so in 
Spells8 Book Club XXXXIII - Readers’ Reviews!
As of today, the 44th book club reading session has now begun!
On Your Mark, Get Set, READ!
-
Begin by announcing your book
The first post below is an editable wiki post- add your book title and name to the list! (instructions below) -
Know that you have [[ the whole month ]] in this reading session
While it is great if you can finish your book during this time, it is okay if you break it into chapters or sections- do as much as you can and know that doing your best is always good enough! -
As you’re reading, feel free to share your thoughts!
You are very welcome to share any thoughts or tidbits while you read in the comments below or in a new post in the forums. Just save the best parts for the final discussion at the end of the reading period! -
Join the final discussion
When the month is over, a discussion post will open encouraging all readers to share a review of their book and any personal thoughts they have about it. A mini-review is perfectly fine, and there will be a suggested format for anyone who would like to write a longer review.
A note about sharing books:
While everyone is free to choose their own book, you may consider reading along with someone else ! It is fun to share thoughts and insights about different books and even more exciting to do in-depth about a book with fellow readers 
If the book you plan to read is already on the list below, add your name to the list of others reading that book! Please keep in mind that everyone will reconvene and chat together in the Reader’s Reviews discussion, regardless of which book you read
