Time for a drumroll, please! After the success of the #1930Club (and what a fab week of reading it was!), Simon suggested we ask for nominations for the next Club reading week, which will be in six months’ time. Despite some proposals of early or late dates, we both feel comfy sticking within the 1920-1980 range, and the actual year of 1920 came up several times in comments on our blogs.
Now, that’s quite an interesting suggestion, because of course next year will be 100 years on from that year. So as it’s an era that appeals to both of us, has an interesting anniversary and was a popular choice, we’ve decided that the next club will be the #1920Club! 😀
Simon has designed this nifty graphic for us all to use when we’re reading and posting about books from 1920, and as you can see the dates will be 13-19 April 2020. I noticed, too, that this will be our tenth Club Week, so it’s a bit of a milestone as well!
So – you can’t say you haven’t been warned. You have six months to source, research, read, enjoy and get ready to post about books from 1920. I’ve already got one title lined up which I’m *very* happy about! So what are you waiting for? Ready, steady – off you go! Here’s to the #1920Club! 😀

Another favourite year and certainly a wise move, celebrating the centenary! This Side of Paradise, Women in Love, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, Arthur Schnitzler’s Reigen, Colette’s Cheri, Wilfred Owen’s poems, plus one of the most famous of Romanian novels ‘Ion’ by Liviu Rebreanu. Also, this rather beautiful blending of text and art, a symbol of cross-cultural collaboration by the Dadaists:

What a great year it looks like! And that Dada thing looks great! 😁

Excellent! You have six months to read it! 😀
Oct 25, 2019 @ 23:32:39
My all time favorite!
Oct 26, 2019 @ 09:08:26
One I’ve still to read, alas…. 😦
Oct 25, 2019 @ 10:30:37
Hooray, if nothing else I have Quiller-Couch’s “On the Art of Reading”!
Oct 25, 2019 @ 13:22:19
Hurrah! It’s a very promising year! 😁
Oct 25, 2019 @ 11:31:32
Brill! I must begin my search. 😃
Oct 26, 2019 @ 15:48:47
Happy hunting! There look to be some great books!
Oct 25, 2019 @ 12:09:48
Fantastic! I’m determined to join in this time.
Oct 25, 2019 @ 13:20:32
Yay! It looks a very good year!
Oct 25, 2019 @ 14:03:13
Great choice, Karen! Count me in 🙂
Oct 25, 2019 @ 14:50:51
Hurrah! It should be a wonderful event! 😀
Oct 25, 2019 @ 14:07:49
Wonderful! I’m looking forward to it.
Oct 25, 2019 @ 14:50:36
Yay! Look forward to seeing what you read – it’ll come round very quickly!
Oct 25, 2019 @ 14:47:39
Hooray! 1920 is very appealing and I love the graphic. Will this be the push I need to finally get Ulysses read??
Oct 25, 2019 @ 14:50:15
Now there’s an interesting thought! I hadn’t considered Ulysses, but the first publication in parts ended in 1920, didn’t it? So maybe we could count it in… I’ve read the first chapter, so maybe it’s the push I need as well!
And yes, 1920 looks to be a very promising year, and the graphic is great – Simon’s very good at doing these for us! 😀
Oct 25, 2019 @ 17:43:34
Thanks for the advance notice — I need it! I actually did get something read for the now-defunct 1930 club, but didn’t have my act together enough to get it reviewed/posted. I plan to participate in the 1920 club and it looks like I’ll have lots of great books to choose from.
Oct 25, 2019 @ 19:31:59
Fab! There are lots of good choices from 1920 so I hope you can join us. I find reading some titles ahead helps… ;D
Oct 25, 2019 @ 18:24:00
If I said I was going to be well organised and search out books in advance, would anyone believe me?! Seriously, there were some great books published that year.
Oct 25, 2019 @ 19:31:24
LOL! I have plans too, but we all know about plans and me (they always go hopelessly wrong). But it’s a great year, and I’ll probably have trouble choosing again.
Oct 25, 2019 @ 19:41:17
How appropriate! I shall have to take a look at my shelves to see if I have anything suitable….
Oct 25, 2019 @ 20:01:31
Definitely – plenty of time for a little research! 😀
Oct 25, 2019 @ 20:20:43
Brilliant, thank you, I can definitely get myself organised this time!
Oct 26, 2019 @ 09:11:03
Well, you have six months to plan, although it does tend to creep up on you! 😀
Oct 25, 2019 @ 21:54:27
I am so looking forward to this one. 1920 will be another great year. 😊
Oct 26, 2019 @ 09:10:37
Yeah, I think so too – a really good selection of books to choose from!
Oct 25, 2019 @ 22:10:22
After a preliminary search a couple of books really jump out at me. Looking forward to it already.
Oct 26, 2019 @ 09:10:17
Yeah, I am too – some really good books from that year which I’m very keen to read. Shame it’s six months away! 😀
Oct 25, 2019 @ 22:28:45
Looks like the middle volume of the Forsyte Saga is 1920. I think I’ve got a plan!
Oct 26, 2019 @ 09:09:54
LOL! That could be a bit of a reading project for you! ;D
Oct 25, 2019 @ 23:31:45
This sounds like a lot of fun. Could I participate? Or is this for a select group? Thanks!
Oct 26, 2019 @ 09:09:38
Oh, the Clubs are open to anyone and everyone! We encourage as many people as possible to join in so please do – we love to see what books people discover and write about. It’s such fun – look forward to seeing what you read from 1920! :DD
Oct 26, 2019 @ 14:32:30
Thank you! I’m looking forward to participating!
Oct 26, 2019 @ 15:46:37

That sounds like an interesting year. A handful of choices in my list…we’ll see. (Maybe by then I’ll actually be finished my 1930 choice, Dos Passos. Nah, at this rate, not likely!) Thanks for hosting and giving us such good notice to make plans!
Oct 29, 2019 @ 10:01:11
Yeah, some really interesting possibilities. And I’m sure 6 months is enough to finish the Dos Passos – it’s not *that* long! 😀
