It was a busy month for reading and suggestions and although OGRESS AND THE ORPHANS remains at the top of our suggestion list, we have a large number of new titles to keep an eye on as the first quarter of publishing has officially ended.
Here’s a look by the numbers:
- 47 May suggestions
- 19 people suggesting
- 10 new titles
- 10- highest number of total suggestions (OGRESS AND THE ORPHANS)
- 5- highest number of suggestions this month (ANYBODY HERE SEEN FRENCHIE, AIN’T BURNED ALL THE BRIGHT AND THE LAST MAPMAKER)
A few clarifications that were asked: these totals are year-long, so a cumulation of March, April, and May. Titles that are suggested for the first time this month are marked by an asterisk. We’ll be back again in June for more suggestions, and in-depth conversations start in September (which all are welcome to participate in).
