While our Spring Read-a-thon doesn't start until March 1st, we have a fun game that will tie into this Read-a-Thon.
If you've seen our The Person Below Me thread, you'll understand what we are doing here. The goal is to compile a list of recommendations that we will then use as a list option for our Read-a-Thon.
The theme is "The Person Below Me Recommends".
Person 1: The person below me recommends a book that will make me cry.
Person 2: Beartown by Fredrik Backman. The person below me recommends a book with an X in the title.
Person 3: Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. The person below me recommends a book from the Tournament of Books shortlist this year.
Person 4: Margo's Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe.
And so on.
So I'll get us started here.
The person below me recommends a book featuring a character with a pet.
