Just wanted to let you all know what we’ll be reading next month in the ABM Book Club so you can get your copy now. Our awesome copy editor, Sarah, will be moderating, and she has chosen All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. I’m stoked because I haven’t read a Doerr book (or short story collection) since college. So, we hope you all will join us in March for that.Â
Confession: I haven’t gotten to start the February book yet. I know! I can’t believe the month is already half gone! Luckily I’ve heard it’s a pretty quick read, but I am feeling a little behind, so I’m spending the rest of the weekend snuggled up with some tea and Eleanor & Park. -Emma

oh i loved this book! i read it last month and it’s intense and fantastic. can’t wait to read your thoughts.
I really enjoyed this book.
I’m pretty smitten with your bookclub series. I’m an elementary school librarian with a master’s in contemporary literature. Have you ever thought about developing content geared towards children’s literature?
Thanks for all that you do,

My mother, who only ever reads career coach books anymore, recently texted me that she had read a really good book and she had left it on her kitchen table for me. I haven’t started it yet, but if it caught her attention, it must be good.
Yay! I LOVED this book so much. Best book I’ve read so far this year
Emma,
Love the cover, can’t wait for the read
Best wishes,

Got the book – ready to get started-
Hi! It’s very casual. You can read the book anytime during the month of February and then join in on the discussion post at the end of the month. 🙂 -Jacki
Hi Renee! All you have to do is read the book sometime during the month of February, and then join in on the discussion at the end of the month. We will do a blog post, and you can share your input through the comments. 🙂 -Jacki
Hi, how do I join your book club?
Question. With this book club, do you have actual discussions set up or is it more a casual let’s all read this together at our own pace thing? Just wondering because I’d love to join a book club and just haven’t found one yet!

It won’t take you long, it was so so good. I didn’t want it to end.
I read this last year—it was wonderful, both in story and in the incredible writing.
I read this book a few weeks ago- I’m also a “judge-a-book-by-it’s-cover” person (and a librarian, I know, awful right?), and it was definitely worth it! What an amazing book. ALTHOUGH, why does every great book have to have a bittersweet ending? I always wonder whether this makes the book good, like I wouldn’t enjoy it as much if it was a fairy-tale ending, or if it would still be as good or better with one? Anyways, I’ve moved on to “The Goldfinch” and am forcing myself to read it all the way through just to find out what happens. Don’t pick it next! This choice is a wonderful one. =)
I have been wanting to read this book! 🙂

This book is beautifully written and heartrending. I’ve been to Saint-Malo, where the story takes place, and the author does a magnificent job of mapping the lay of the land there too. Excellent choice!
Just downloaded it! The description on Amazon is definitely intriguing — can’t wait for the discussion! 🙂
Always, Anita
This sounds fabulous! I’m awful at making time to read.
Warm Regards,
