Hi, friends! It's time for another monthly theme: Ancient April!
Ancient April is all about reading books that are not set in modern times — this could be historical fiction, memoirs, nonfiction about times gone by, true crime, or classics! We're pretty lenient around here, so anything pre-2000 can count if you're in a pinch — sorry, I'm making myself feel old, too!
You can create a TBR and post it here, or you can just post progress updates as you work through your reads. Every time you finish a book, you can post a new comment with an update (star rating, quick thoughts, or just that you've completed it), or you can go back and edit your original TBR comment!
REMINDER: You don't have to only post the books you read that fit the theme, as long as one or more of your reads during the month match the prompt! (I personally like to notate in my list which of my reads fit the theme and which ones don't!)
If you have any questions, check our general FAQ topic and see if it's been answered already. If not, ask away!
Happy reading, friends!
