Happy book birthday to When The Forest Breathes by Suzanne Simard, which released yesterday! If my library wait times and the subsequent large order of additional copies purchased this morning are any indication, this is an exciting new release!

I was devastated to find out that Simard was just in my area and I barely missed seeing her. If you are a fan, or want to attend more bookish events, I encourage y'all to check out her very robust book tour! (link) In particular I am super jealous of Boundlings in New York, who have an opportunity to see both Simard AND Zoe Schlanger (author of The Light Eaters) on the 9th! (link) If you happen to be in the area and go, please let us know how it was!!

ALSO can you believe we've crossed over 1,000 quest members??? Thanks for joining us - I am so so glad y'all are here!!

And since we're all here, let's chat readalongs! My previous post about suggesting a readalong book didn't get much traction, so I've curated a few titles for y'all to vote between, and those able and interested can join me for a readalong in May! If you would like to suggest readaong books for the future please do so. I'll post each book title & a blurb in a comment below - please upvote which book you are most interested in, and which ever book has the most votes by 10pm PDT, Sunday April 5th will be our pick!

Again, excited y'all are here. I hope y'all are enjoying your regionally appropriate season!!
