So, with our current read, we‘ve come to the end of this round of the #PersephoneClub and we‘ll now open it up for others who may wish to join.
We read a Persephone book together every 2nd month (starting with February) and each member suggests two picks for us to vote on for their month. Anyone on Litsy is free to read and discuss with us, of course!
Do let me know if you‘d like to be added and if you‘d like to stay for another round!

Aimeesue Oh, me, please! 2y
BookNAround I can just randomly join in on the reads, right? I don‘t think I can commit to every read because of my schedule but I do like to dip in occasionally. 2y

LeahBergen @Gissy @Aimeesue Yay! I‘m glad you two are joining! 👏👏 2y
LeahBergen @BookNAround Oh, of course! Anytime you can fit one in. 😘 2y
willaful Include me in. :-) 2y
LeahBergen @willaful Great! 👏 2y
elkeOriginal I am in for another round! I love the 2-month schedule and how it alternates perfectly with the #furrowedmiddlebrowclub - plus you are kind enough to keep me around when I skip🤦🏼♀️ 2y
Gissy The only situation I have is I don‘t have a bookstore with these beautiful editions and I need to order them sometimes from Bookdepository or Waterstones, which means it will take sometimes three weeks to arrive😳I will need to know in advanced which book we are going to read, maybe early in January for the first book😬 I‘m so happy I‘m going to collect books from this publisher😍I added a couple of titles you read this year to my wish list🤗 2y
sisilia I‘m with @BookNAround 😅 2y
jlhammar Okay, twist my arm. 😆 I‘d love to read along with you all next year. Thank you! I‘ve been meaning to try some Persephone titles. I want the physical books (so pretty) so am in the same situation as @Gissy - the more time I have to order the better! 2y
rubyslippersreads What @elkeOriginal said. 😊 Looking forward to another Persephone year. 2y
LeahBergen @Gissy Yes, I have to order these, too, and they sometimes take over 3 weeks to reach me here in Canada as well! As soon as I see how many people we have I‘ll arrange us in order and get everyone to post their two choices for us to vote on. I‘ll probably do this in batches so that we don‘t all choose the same books to vote on. I‘m hoping we will have our entire year‘s reads planned out all at once to give everyone plenty of time to order. 😊 2y
LeahBergen @elkeOriginal @rubyslippersreads Perfect! 👍 2y
LeahBergen @sisilia No problem! Just jump in and read with us whenever you can. 😁 2y
LeahBergen @jlhammar Yay! We‘re happy to have you! 😊 And yes, see my message ⬆️ to @Gissy ; I‘m hoping to have all our choices picked out well in advance. 2y
jlhammar Thanks, Leah! Looking forward to it. 2y
andrew61 Thanks for organising leah, I have really enjoyed this series of books and having jumped the gun with High wages find myself as delighted with the storytelling as I have in all the others. Looking forward to next year. 2y
LeahBergen @andrew61 Ah lovely, Andrew! I‘ve been really enjoying myself , too, and I‘m glad you‘re back on board for next year. 😊 2y
Gissy @LeahBergen Yes! Can‘t wait🤗📚❤️ 2y
CarolynM I‘m in (of course!) 2y
LeahBergen @CarolynM Of course! 😘 2y
Cathythoughts Thanks Leah 👍🏻♥️ Im sitting here with it on my lap presently. Hoping to make a start today. 2y
LeahBergen @Cathythoughts @quietjenn Just confirming… are you two back in for another round? I‘m assuming you are! 😊 I‘m going to be making up our new list of people (and order of recommending books) soon. I‘ll then have our members put books up for our votes and post our full reading schedule for 2023. 👍 2y
Cathythoughts Oh yes ! I‘m back for another round! Loving 🥰 the Persephone 2y
Cathythoughts Thanks for organizing 😘 2y
quietjenn @LeahBergen oh yes, most definitely! It gives me great joy to be in the Persephone Club. 2y
LeahBergen @Cathythoughts @quietjenn Thanks! I‘m loving our little club, too! ❤️ 2y
Tamra For sure, count me in! ❤️ 2y
LeahBergen @Tamra Just checking … do you want to be added to our list of those who suggest a monthly read and vote on the other‘s suggestions? Or are you just reading along with us? Either is completely lovely, it‘s just that I‘m making up the voter‘s list right now. 😆😆 2y
Tamra @LeahBergen I am happy to be a tag along. 😄 2y
LeahBergen @Tamra 😆😆 That‘s fine! I‘ve made the list alphabetical by Litsy name so you wouldn‘t be suggesting a pick until 2024 anyway. 😆 That‘s what we get for only reading 6 Persephones per year! 2y
Oryx Oh can I join? I don't need to vote but will join in on the reads 2y
LeahBergen @Oryx Definitely! It‘ll be lovely to have you along. 😊 2y
Kristin_Reads I would love to join if its not too late 😊 2y
HeatherBlue I would also love to join if possible! 🙂 I also wouldn‘t need to vote, but I‘d love to read along when I can! 2y
rsteve388 I'd like to join if possible. :) 2y
LeahBergen @Kristin_Reads @HeatherBlue @rsteve388 I‘ve closed the list now for voting members (those who suggest our reads and vote on the picks) as we already have enough to take us well into 2024. 😆 BUT you are all more than welcome to read any or all selections and discuss them with us. We do a casual type buddy read of that month‘s selection and comment and discuss on each other‘s posts and reviews. I‘ll tag you when I post the 2023 schedule. 😊 2y
rsteve388 Thank you! 2y
mom_of_4 I would love to join. 2y
HeatherBlue Thanks so much!! ☺️ 2y
