Bookbug

Bookbug is a book club that was created by Maple and Vashti in December 2023, and i joined in December 2024, exactly a year later. Each month we read a new book, discuss it on discord, and write about it on our respective websites.

I've arranged (nearly) every book read by the bugs by month and year. The books i have read have been marked with a tulip [🌷], and the ones i have read and reviewed will contain a link. The book we are currently reading will be marked with a sunflower [🌻].
