Mixed Format Books

One of my favorite newer trends is the mixed format book. Traditional novels include just paragraphs within chapters. Occasionally, you might find a picture or two but the book is primarily just blocks of text.

The books featured on this list reject such a traditional idea of a book. These books have:

• Emails
• Maps
• Audio Transcripts
• Diary entries
• Letters
• Interviews

These books are fascinating ways to tell a story. They’re also a wonderful way to grab the attention of a struggling reader.

Book Box Guesses: December 2021

It’s no secret that I’m a book box lover. Part of the fun is trying to guess the upcoming month’s books (even if I don’t subscribe). Here’s a round up of what I think will be in the upcoming month’s boxes. I’ll update this post as new themes are revealed. These posts are typically scheduled around the 15th of each month.

If you’d like to play along, drop your guesses in the comments and I’ll add them to the post! If you think I’m wrong, please leave a comment as to which book is a better fit.

Let me know if I’m missing a box you think should be added to the list.

If you work for one of the boxes below and would like to offer a discount code to my readers or a referral link, email me and I’d be happy to add it to the post. I’m open to discussing other types of partnerships as well.

I STRONGLY urge you to research a box before buying or subscribing. There’s been some shady behavior and you don’t want to get caught up in it.

Discussion: Reading Traditions

Reading is a deeply personal hobby. There’s no wrong way to do it. You can read for your own enjoyment. You can read to educate yourself. You can read for comfort.

One thing you can do is start (or continue) a reading tradition.

I’m here to talk about my reading traditions.
