The 2019 Finer Books Club Reading Challenge
Coming Soon!
In the late 2010s, Angela and Miranda found a way to channel their mutual love for heart-warming sidekicks, elegant plots, endearing main characters, twist endings and (most of all) fine words into something tangible and exciting. Thus began the Finer Books Club. This is their yearly challenge.
