    The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow is the official January Pick for the Peanut Blossom Book Club for Recovering Readers.

    A copy of The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow sits on a brown table surrounded by book corners of other books.

    Hello, 2021! We're all very glad to see you.

    Who's ready for another year of the Peanut Blossom Book Club?? ME!

    I'm so excited about this year's book line-up. I had so much fun picking the titles we'll be spending the coming year with.

    This month's book came highly recommended by several of our book club members. I've had my eye on it for ages and I just couldn't resist picking it for our January book pick.

    What better time of year to read The Ten Thousand Doors of January than January itself, right?? Scroll down for more info about the book and I'll see you in the group once I've finished it.

    P.S. Just joining us? Don't miss the full 2021 line-up for our book club picks.

      January's Official Book Club Pick:  The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow

      I’m pleased to announce that this is our official January Pick for this year.

      Get your copy of this month’s book club pick:

      Buy the book on Amazon.

      Buy the book on Audible.

      Money-saving tricks for reading this month’s book pick:

      • You can get the book from your library.
      • The Kindle version is cheaper than the paperback AND you can save money on the Audible version if you own the Kindle copy! I love to use the Amazon Whispersync feature to go back and forth between audio and digital reading.

      What Is This Month's Book About?

      "In the early 1900s, a young woman embarks on a fantastical journey of self-discovery after finding a mysterious book in this captivating and lyrical debut.

      In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, she feels little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored, and utterly out of place.

      Then she finds a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other worlds, and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure and danger. Each page turn reveals impossible truths about the world and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own.

      Lush and richly imagined, a tale of impossible journeys, unforgettable love, and the enduring power of stories awaits in Alix E. Harrow's spellbinding debut--step inside and discover its magic."
