For the Quarterly Book Club, Sam @ A History of Books and I decided to theme each Quarter of year with a different genre of YA novels. For each quarter, we shall select a collection of reads and stick ’em in a poll for you to vote on (you may also add books to the poll list). The top 2 books will be the reads for the selected Quarter, and in addition you can select two other books from the list to read to make a list of 4 books for the Quarterly Read :).
————————————-
The Themes
1st Quarter// Jan, Feb, Mar // Fantasy
2nd Quarter// Apr, May, Jun // Contemporary
3rd Quarter// Jul, Aug, Sep // Mystery/Paranormal/Supernatural
4th Quarter// Oct, Nov, Dec // Historical
Below is a list of all the books the Quarterly Book Club has read/included on the reading list for each Quarter up to the most recent Quarter!
