Member Appreciation Week: Expand your reading list
We are firmly of the opinion that TBR (to-be-read) lists can never be too long, so buckle up and get ready to add to yours! We are excited to share more than 200 recent titles authored by some of our 1,000+ members as part of Member Appreciation Week 2024.
Browse covers below (even though we know you can't judge a book by its cover!), titles at the end of this blog post, and find many of these titles on Storygraph here.
