Hello campers! I‘m your main discussion leader for July. We‘ll start the month with the overall top vote-getter, Yellowface, and finish it with our first nonfiction title, the memoir Hijab Butch Blues. Very excited! 😁🏕️ #CampLitsy23
Important housekeeping note‼️‼️ We will be taking the first weekend off (July 1-2). July has 5 weekends, and many Americans travel then for the national holiday later that week.

dabbe Do we have exact date for July as to where we should be with both books? Thanks for organizing this and being such wonderful hostesses, @megabooks, @squirrelbrain, and @barbarabb! 🤗 12mo
Megabooks @dabbe no, I don‘t have the exact page numbers, but the first half of Yellowface will be July 8 and the full book will be July 15. The first half of HBB will be July 22, and the full book will be July 29. I will release exact page numbers closer to time as I don‘t have both books yet. 12mo

Cinfhen My preorder arrived today!!!! 11mo
Megabooks @Cinfhen yay!! 11mo
Megabooks @CSeydel last year some people read early then joined in the discussion later! 11mo
Cinfhen I‘ve started and it‘s EXCELLENT!!!! Will make good discussion 🤓 11mo
Megabooks @Cinfhen you‘re not waiting for camp?!? Haha! #MoodReaderProblems! I‘m glad to hear that because it was the #1 choice as far as number of votes! 11mo
Cinfhen Nope!! I couldn‘t wait but I‘ll join in for discussions 11mo
Megabooks I looked back at your post and I had it backwards, and here‘s where I gave my schedule. Weird that we got each other‘s reversed! I‘ve just requested BQ be ready at the library, but I just read it last month so it should be pretty fresh! Good thing because my procedure at Vandy is right in the middle of it. 💜 @BarbaraBB 11mo
BarbaraBB Nothing‘s more important than that appointment! I‘ll read BQ next week and wil reach out to @squirrelbrain and you about the questions for the first half. I hope you don‘t mind that. If it‘s too much for you right now, I am sure Helen and I will be able yo work something out! 🩵 11mo
Megabooks @BarbaraBB I‘m planning to read it next week too! I‘ve got 2 books to read before it so I‘ll likely start Tu/W. I should be fine for the first week, but the appointment is between the two BQ weekends (June 5). If everything goes normally, it shouldn‘t affect CL at all! 11mo
BarbaraBB 🤞🏽👌🏽 11mo
squirrelbrain I need to get BQ from the library when I get back…. Hopefully! I didn‘t reserve it so you can guarantee someone else will have borrowed it now. @BarbaraBB @Megabooks 11mo
Megabooks Hey @GatheringBooks , here are the books for July and note we‘re taking the first weekend off since there are 5 in July. Excited to have you join us!! 👍🏻🏕️ 11mo
GatheringBooks @Megabooks perfect! Thank you! 💕💕📚📚📚💕💕 11mo
