Calendar Girls: February Theme and Updates

Happy January Calendar Girls Participants!

Katie and I hope you rang in the New Year with a bang and enjoyed posting about your anticipated 2019 book releases! We sure did! There were some amazing choices, and my TBR grew again!

Now that our January choices have been made, it’s time to announce the theme for February!

Black History Month: Favorite Book by a Black Author

This theme won by a landslide, and we are so excited to celebrate an important month with beautiful, diverse reads!

With February’s Theme voted for, this means it’s time to vote for January’s Popular Pick, and March’s Theme. You can vote for both in the google doc below. Voting for January’s Popular Pick will close this Friday, January 25th after the Twitter chat ends. Voting for the March Theme will close Sunday, February 10th at midnight EST.

Post Schedule Reminder:

The first Monday of each month is book choice day for that month’s theme. This is where you can rant and rave about your favorite pick for the current month, as well as see what everyone else chose.

The second Monday of each month Katie and Adrienne will be announcing the theme for the upcoming month, the chat reminder, and the voting form for both the next month’s theme, and the current month’s popular choice.

The last Monday of each month will be recap day! Katie and Adrienne will make sure to update you on the current month’s popular choice, the chat recap, and the upcoming month’s theme.

Reminders:

Don’t forget to join us for our new Twitter chat schedule. Instead of chatting for an hour one day of the month, we decided to spread it out over 5 days to allow more of you to be able to participate! Starting January 21st, each day will have a new question under the hashtag #CGBChat, and you will have the whole week to join in on the fun!

Newsletter

For those who are new to Calendar Girls, it is a monthly blog event that was inspired by the Neil Sedaka song, Calendar Girl. Just like the song, each month has a specific theme, voted on by the participants, where we get to talk about a particular book we love or think fits the theme the best. The blog event was created to incite fun bookish discussions and to spread the blogger love by introducing us to new bloggers and/or books that we have not come across before.

If this sounds like something you would enjoy, make sure to head to my Calendar Girls info page! Drop a comment and let me know if you are interested in joining us.
