For the past couple weeks fellow blogger, Flavia, and I have been dropping hints on our blogs (here, here, and here) about something called Calendar Girls! And today is the day we finally tell you all about it! Yay!
“So… What is Calendar Girls?”
Calendar Girls is a brand new monthly blog event to incite discussions with other bloggers about books we’ve read and loved!
“Cool! How does it work?”
Simple! Each month is going to have a theme. All you have to do is pick and read a book that you think matches that theme. (No worries! It can be a book you’ve read before, if you want!)
Then, on the first Wednesday of each month each participant will post their book selection to their blog along with their reason why they think that book matches the month’s them.
“That’s it? o.O”
Not quite! We want you to visit other bloggers’ posts and discuss with them in their comments section why they chose that book and whether or not you agree. Please remember to be polite!
You’ll be able to find a list of participating bloggers on mine and Flavia’s book-choice posts for the month, which will be updated as new bloggers join the event! Our book-choice posts will also contain the theme for the next month, as well!
“Great! When does it start? And how do I sign up?”
Calendar Girls will be starting in January 2017! That means, your first book-choice post should go up on January 4th, and you should leave a link to your post in the comments section of either mine or Flavia’s post.
In the meantime, please let Flavia or I know you’re interested in joining the Calendar Girls event by commenting below or tweeting us at @flavbibliophile or @Noellbernard, and use the hashtag #CalendarGirlsBooks to keep in touch with other participating bloggers! Also, if you want to receive a monthly Calendar Girls newsletter with discussion highlights and theme previews, please sign-up using MailChimp!

Hi there! You can join whenever! 😊 You are welcome you pick a book for May’s theme, which is Best Sequel, and just link me your blog post so I can share it with the others. Or you are welcome to wait until June, where the theme will be Best Shakespeare Play.
Let me know if you have any questions! 😄

Yay! You can still participate in this month’s theme, if you want! March’s theme is a book with an active WAR! It can be a war from our history or it can be a war in a scifi/fantasy novel. Check out my post for March for some examples and April’s theme is High Fantasy! (next month’s theme is always listed at the bottom of our posts!) Let me know if you have any questions! I’m happy to answer them!
