📚 Read-Alongs

Start & End Dates:

• Read-alongs begin on the first of the month and end on the last day of the month (I may adjust the timing based on my personal schedule; I will make sure that the time frame is listed in the post/description, and it will typically run 4 weeks to 6 weeks, etc.).
• Everyone reads at their own pace within this window.
• Discussions may happen weekly, bi-weekly, or at the end (depending on the book’s length and participation).

Book Selection & Recommendation Criteria:
When recommending a book for a read-along, I look for titles that…

1. Accessible – Available in multiple formats (print, ebook, audiobook) so everyone has a chance to read.
2. Have Good Pacing – Books that spark conversation, whether fast-paced plots or rich character-driven stories.
3. Enjoyable to Discuss – Stories that raise questions, themes, or emotions we can share together.
4. Length Consideration – Long books may require more time, so we plan accordingly.
5. Diverse Voices & Genres – A mix of authors, genres, and perspectives keeps things fresh and engaging.
6. General Interest – Even if not everyone’s favorite genre, the story should have broad appeal or at least something worth talking about.

Why Join a Read-Along?

• It’s a chance to share the reading experience instead of reading alone.
• You get multiple perspectives on the same book, which often deepens appreciation.
• It keeps you motivated to finish and stay engaged.
• It is also a chance to make a new friend or two.
