Sign up by leaving a comment. Do indicate which option you're leaning towards. And if you have a blog, please leave your blog address so I can visit you.

Reviews are not a requirement. But if you do review, you can share links to your reviews. I'm thinking of having check-in posts on the 15th of every month.

With two young kiddos, we read a ton of picture books in this house. For this coming year, I'm going to push for Option 2 with a huge checklist of different books. Here we go!
