Hey book lovers! Some of you are interested in reading some of our past book club nominees that didn’t get enough votes to garner the top prize of Title of the Month. Never fear…below is a list of our past title of the month nominees for 2023.
For those new to The Chaptr, each month, we spend hours researching books–with an emphasis on diverse reads and ‘under the radar’ books–to present to our subscribers to vote on each month. What that means is that even if a book is not selected as the winner, you still have quite a bit of books to add to your TBR (sorry, not sorry!). Let’s dig in!
