Retro Reads discussion

I have a feeling most of us were and are pretty satisfied with reading through the selections at will.

But if you feel the need to put a little twist into your Pool reading, you can try one of the following suggestions and make a few waves. 😉

Read your choices in alphabetical order, by titles or author's last name.

Alternate female and male authors.

Pick 12, one per month, for those who have limited time.

When the pool grid is complete, you might choose to read a line horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

Happy planning and don't drown! 😁

Fun ideas! Thanks, CindySR!

Same here, thus the extra little motivation with options. 🤞

Be sure to go over the main Book Pool 2023 page (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) and officially list your two titles with Carol so that we will all know about them.

Thanks Barb.

I have edited the thread title, to (hopefully) make it a bit clearer. :)

@Elinor I'll move your post to the main 2023 page. :)

I think I'll do a book a month. Although, that was my inner goal for the 2022 pool and I only managed 8. Maybe I'll do better this year.

I’m going to try to do better as well, Barb! I was thinking one a month was a nice amount, cross our fingers!

I just had a new idea of checking the page counts for each book in the pool and then reading some of the shortest. 😉
That way I can maybe fit in a few more.

Well, is a kid's book, illustrated, 95 pages. And a good read, too! Might be one to consider...

Well, [bookcover..."

That’s on my list, I’ve never read it! I’m up for an adventure! ;)
