This is probably a stupid question but does it mean the oldest date published or books that have been on my shelves the longest? :)


message 65: by Tori (new)

Tori | 1192 comments Mod
Janice - Either is fine!

This theme is the one theme we do every year and I think most of us choose to read the ones that have been on our shelves the longest. But that doesn't mean you have to. If you are feeling more motivated to read the oldest publication dates then go for it!

Hello, I think this might sound silly, but are we allowed to "shift" books across themes? For example, I was planning to read Frankenstein for Apr to June, but I couldn't finish it. So am I allowed to read it for the July to Sep theme, since it fits the one word title criteria?

Tori | 1192 comments Mod
Elle - Yes, of course!
