NOVEMBER 2018 EVENTS
Nonfiction November is a month dedicated to celebrating nonfiction…we’ll talk about our favorites, trade recommendations, discuss our nonfiction reading habits, and hopefully discover some new book blogs! There will be a link-up for your posts every Monday…see Sarah’s Bookshelves for the schedule of events and where to find the link-ups.
Margaret Atwood Reading Month is hosted by Naomi at Consumed by Ink and Marcie at BuriedInPrint and inspired by decades of reading Margaret Atwood’s words: journalism and fiction, poetry and comics.
From November 1, 2018 through November 30, 2018 we’ll be reading Margaret Atwood, and you are invited to join. (On the 18th, Margaret Atwood celebrates her birthday and quietly we’ll be celebrating along with her, by reading her work. That also might be an excellent reason for cake!)
Want to join in the celebration? It’s easy. Just read one thing by Margaret Atwood or one hundred things (well, poems add up). Something. Anything. Printed page or audiobook: whatever tickles your fancy.
Post about it where you love to bookchat and then leave your link to that post in a comment on Marcie’s site or on Naomi’s site. We will curate the content and share at the end of the event.
Looking for more structure? We’re also planning weekly posts by themes.
Take a look at Buried in Print to find out more about this event.
2019 EVENTS
Rachel at Hibernator’s Library is considering hosting a Year of Shakespeare in 2019. She is thinking about dividing the year into trimesters:
Jan – Apr Comedies
May – Aug Histories
Sep – Dec Tragedies
Would anyone be interested in joining? It would be very informal, with linkups each trimester to post links to your reviews. If you are interested, contact Rachel here.

2019 year of Shakespeare anyone? Maybe one play a month?

I could possibly get behind that.

We could even make it into a 3 year project to get all the plays, if people got really excited. Though that seems long. 😁

Part of me says, “Absolutely!” and part of me says, “Yeah, prolly not gonna happen.” Maybe make a poll and have people vote on what they’d like to have included? Or let everyone choose their own things and just have it be a “read some Shakespeare” event like the Women Authors event from a year or two ago?

I was thinking more aling the lines of voting for the plays, and everyone reading the same. But we could also split it into 4 month tragedy, comedy, history and let people read however many they want.
