HEY! We should do a book club together 🙂

I know it’s already almost March but, hey. We can start in March. It’s okay.

Essentially, each month, I will be reading the chosen book, and you can also feel free to read that book. If you want to buy the book, you can get a book club discount at The Bookshelf, where I work! At the end of the month, starting in March, I will make a cute little blog post talking about the book! We can chat about it in the comments if you want, or I plan on leaving a submission form on each designated post where you can send in your thoughts. If anyone sends in their thoughts, I’ll feature them on the next month’s post! 😀

I can’t plan out books I want to read a year in advance, I just simply cannot. Therefore, I’m going to divide them up into seasons (: so this post will be the books I’m going to read in March, April, and May. In May, I’ll make a new post about the ones we can read together over the summer! Since I work at a bookstore, I know new books are constantly coming out, and that’s also why I don’t want to get too ahead of myself here. They will not all be new books, though! We’re actually going to start with a classic I’ve been wanting to read. I’m also going to try to keep the selections generally themed to whatever season we’re in, but it may not always happen. We’ll just go with the flow here!

Okay! Without further ado! Here are the Spring 2025 young, dumb, & twenty-ish book club books!

Woohoo! I am so excited! I am SO excited, I’ve wanted to host a book club for so long and I am falling so madly in love with my YDT blog, so getting to combine the two will surely be so so fun. I will include thorough reviews, notes and annotations, maybe even some audio & video footage!

Make sure you’re subscribed so you get an email (and only one!) whenever a new post goes up!

Also! Even though I am the self-designated host of this club, I don’t have to be the only one picking the books! If you have a suggestion, please send it my way! Or if you are just coming along for the ride, I would love to know!
