52 Books in 52 Weeks (2022) (52 Book Club) - hosted by alexanderclamilton

Picked based on its spine
Instead of picking a book by its cover, this prompt is all about picking a book by its spine! Stroll the library or your local bookstore and see what pops out at you. This could also be a great opportunity to finally finish a book from your own bookshelf, or to scope out what reads are on a friend’s bookshelf too.

This prompt is all about personal preference, so what sort of spines stand out to you? Is it a certain color or font type? Graphics or none? Thick books or skinny ones, the options are endless! And remember, just because we’re picking a book based on its spine, it doesn’t mean that we have to read a physical copy. Once you’ve picked your book, feel free to read or listen to it in any format!
