Adventures In Bookland discussion

This is the yearly challenge you guys voted for second-most. The aim is to read (at least) twelve books in 2022 which fit the commemorative/celebrational months/weeks/days posted below. The relation to the themes can be very direct or more indirect (e.g. reading a book by a Black author for February vs. reading a book where a picnic takes place for July).

Rules:
1. Read (at least twelve) books according to the monthly themes posted below. You can check off just one per month, or multiple ones in each month.
2. Any book finished in a certain month and fitting any of the possible themes for that month will count.
3. Post the book you finished with the theme you finished it for in this topic.
4. Have fun and good luck!


Registration: open!
