BB Book Club | January 2018 Roundup | Tales Of The Peculiar
This year we decided to launch our very own online book club, with a new book for you to join us in reading every month. We were so pleased to receive such a positive response to our new venture and would like to thank everyone who picked up a copy of January's selection Tales Of The Peculiar by Ransom Riggs. The short story collection proved very popular with you guys and we've put together an infographic to share a little bit more about your thoughts on the book!
Reader's comments & favourite quotes:
"I really enjoyed this book. It was a great addition to Ransom Riggs' other stories, and a fun read even if you haven't read the series before. I love all the creative abilities and peculiar talents that Riggs comes up with for his stories. The illustrations in this book were definitely a beautiful addition." - Sophie @ Sofilly
"I really enjoyed this collection of short stories and felt it was a great first book club pick! I loved the unique settings and characters as well as the beautiful illustrations. Tales Of The Peculiar has encouraged me to read the original series/more of Ransom Riggs writing in future." - Erin @ A Natural Detour
"It is a fun and exciting read. It is perfect for dipping your toe into the Peculiar world or exploring it in more detail if you are already a fan." - Kelly @ This Northern Gal
"I would definitely recommend the book as a great quick read. It's great for both those who are familiar with the world of the Peculiars and those (like me) who may only know it through the movie or have never read any of Ransom Riggs' novels. I really loved how dark some of the stories went and the style reminded me so much of the original Brothers Grimm fairytales." - Ria @ Thoroughly Modern Millennial
"I would recommend this book. I enjoyed the short stories, the illustrations and also the occasional editors notes. Some of the stories were fascinating and took turns that you couldn’t predict." - Cat
Thank you to everyone who joined in with our first ever book club read!
If you would like to get involved with next month's BB Book Club check back here tomorrow where Anjali will be introducing her selection for February - we think you're going to love it! You can also sign up to our mailing list to make sure you don't miss out on any future book club updates.

How You Can Get Involved With February's Group Post!
Image via unsplash.comWe may have already picked out some books for our 2016 TBR lists but they might be about to get a little longer as February's post is all about recommendations! This month the topic is titled 'Love that? Try this...' and we need your help to make it happen!
We know that you're all dying to spill the details about your favourite reads and we'd love to hear your recommendations based on books, as well as TV shows and films.
All you need to do to get involved is send us your recommendations and who you think would enjoy them in the format shown below. You can also include a sentence or two about why you think fans of the book/tv show/film would enjoy the recommendation/s.
For example;
"Love Pretty Little Liars? Try Dangerous Girls (Abigail Haas) or Ten (Gretchen McNeil). Both of these novels have a dark and mysterious feel to them that I think fans of PLL with enjoy."
The post is due to go live on the 20th so we'll need your answers by February 17th.
You can email them to bloggersbokshelf@gmail.com or tweet us @blog_bookshelf
Thank you for reading, we hope to hear from you soon!

Group Collaboration | Our Favourite Genres
For our first group collaboration here at Blogger's Bookshelf we asked you, our readers and contributors, to tell us about your favourite book genres and to recommend us some titles. Hopefully this post will help you to discover some new books or even inspire you to venture into a different genre. These were the results...
Next month we will be discussing favourite reads of 2012!
We would love for as many of you to get involved as possible - all you need to do is either leave a comment on this post, tweet or email us your top five reads of the year. If you'd like to you can also include a sentence about why you enjoyed each one but please note we may not be able to include these for every book - it will depend on how many responses we receive!
We will need your answers by December 19th and the post will be live on the 22nd. And remember, they don't need to be titles released in 2012, just your favourites of the books you read throughout the year!
Contributors - Taylah, Laura, Sandra, Jess, Niina, Elle, Anjali, Lucy, Ria, Francesca, Kristina, Lulu, Cat, Erin, Jo
We were really pleased with the response we received & would like to say a big thank you to everyone who got involved.
