2025 Reading Challenge discussion

Hi fellow bookworms!
So in April, I again will be hosting a read-a-long. But, I need voting! Comment down below a idea for a book we can all read in April. End of this month, I'll draw them out of a hat and the one the comes out we'll be reading. But there is one rule. Don't vote to read a sequel. Comment away guys!!

Cutting for stone by: Abraham Verghese

what is the difference between a read-a-long, and a group read?

I have read Cutting for Stone, can recommend it :) Unfortunately I think I have too many projects for a read a long now, but we will see :)

Joanne, there basically the same thing. Just different names

I think pretty much the only difference is that the group read book is decided by a group-wide poll whereas a read-along is a few members deciding to read something together. Anyone can join in but no official poll. The nice thing is you can read a book that the group already read and you missed out on.

I feel like this is what Buddy reads are for.

Thank you

All, sorry for any confusion. This is not a group event. Jess, if you'd like to host this, please put it in your own corner. To Stefani's point, this sounds like a buddy read. If you'd like to do that, please post in the buddy reads thread. Thanks!
