You'd imagine the first book one should read for the year ideally should be a love story. In her post, @gabyr02 shares with us a book that tells a love story of two people who are truly in love with each other with all the battles and endless drama. A great piece.

One of the gift of reading is the ability for one to go back to re-read any work of literature and still enjoy it's content as if it was written yesterday. @jesuspsoto is all of us in 2022, XD. He re-reads some amazing classics like 'Mobydick', 'the old man and the sea', etc. And tells us of his list for the new year. A post worth reading.

One thing that authors do so well is to leave thier text ambiguous for multiple interpretation. It always plays to a personal sense in the end. @urban.scout shares this incredible psychological fiction with us that delves into the deepest part of human nature in a simplistic, but beautiful way. You might want to consider adding this one to your list for the eye, XD.

@mercmarg makes her entry for the contest by sharing with us her best book of last year. The list is diverse and quite interesting. She went in on all the genre including personal development. You might want to have a look.
And finally, @valeriavalentina shares with us a truly brilliant story by the virtuoso himself. There are a lot of short stories out there, but if you don't read anyone, you should definitely read atleast one of 'Edgar Allan Poe's work.' A true gem.

What is Hive Book Club?
Hive Book Club is a community made by book lovers, for book lovers. A place where the chaotic minds of writers may punch away words from their keyboards as they share their writing adventures. Where passionate book collectors may rummage through their stacks of books to share and review their latest additions. Outside of our regular curation process, we may create contests for our community to participate in, and earn even more from their posts. If you have a certain theme for a future contest you would like to see, let us know! Be sure to check with us frequently on our various social media platforms to avoid missing out!
How Do We Choose The Highlighted Posts?
For those of you curious as to how you may have been chosen or would like to be chosen in the future in one of these compilations: we scan through the community and read the many posts that the community members write. We then select four or five posts that we believe meet certain criteria and are worthy of sharing with the rest of the community. We aim to keep these selections diverse in style, from writing skills or subject matter.
Hence, throughout the week, the moderators will check the community and manually handpick the posts. Some factors include the post subject, post quality, engagement, personal voice, and general effort. If we choose you, or you happen to stumble across these highlights, please do check out the other posts we feature, and contribute to their curation and engagement!
Hive Book Club is supported in the OCD Community Incubation Program. If you like what they do for the community, OCD Has a Hive Witness ... @OCD-Witness! You can vote for @ocd-witness, with Hive Witnesses.
Join us today and discover the joy of being part of a vibrant book club community!
