Katie and I hope you enjoyed posting about your favorite books by black authors! This is such an important month to celebrate, as it should be celebrated always. My tbr grew again and I cannot wait for our discussion about diverse authors and how important their books are! This also leads us in to the pick for the March theme!

Women’s History Month: Favorite Book With a Strong Female Character

Another important month to celebrate! And, who doesn’t love a book with a strong female character?

With March’s Theme voted for, this means it’s time to vote for February’s Popular Pick, and April’s Theme. You can vote for both in the google doc below. Voting for February’s Popular Pick will close Friday, February 22nd after the Twitter chat ends. Voting for the April Theme will close Sunday, March 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! February 18th will kick off this month’s chat and each day will have a new question under the hashtag #CGBChat. So 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.
