In the past, we have had a sporadic book club here at The Hollow. We would pick a book, dye yarn to go with it, and put together book boxes with fun extras. Finally, we might discuss the book either on the podcast or as a separate video or live stream but there was very little rhyme or reason to those Toads of the past.
Usher in 2020, our self proclaimed YEAR OF THE TOAD, and we have a plan (you might hear this a lot from us)! We have a theme for our yarn and a list of books that we want to read next year. We’ve organized the books by category and we’ve picked one each month that we invite you to read along with us. We will have weekly discussion threads over on our Facebook Group, Crafting With The Toads and then, at the end of the month, we will record a video with our discussion about the overall book.
Are you ready to start reading? Let’s see what we are reading this year.

This sounds like so much fun.
Always looking for new interesting books .have you discussed Where the crawdads sing?
Count me in. The list looks great.
I’m intrigued by the list. A couple I have read but would enjoy discussing! Count me in. I want to read Cinder.
Can’t wait! Really looking forward to The Nightingale, since I loved her earlier book. But vampire knitting is intriguing.
