Van Gogh's Ear: The True Story | 
All the books I read this year were marvelous.
A link to the 80 books is here: https://tinyurl.com/nddhvbpr
Tried to make a dent this year in my backlist of ebooks. Out of the 44 books I picked for my #readyourebooks #readyourkindle challenge (I started in Feb) I finished with 30 read & 14 unread. Not to bad. Thinking I may do a mash up of this with my physical TBR shelf for 2025.
Surpassed my goal! 🥳🥳🥳

pickStormbound by Maggie Maren is not in the database. I read it via Kindle Unlimited and it was okay, a low pick. I liked the setting and the witchy woman who is stranded and the lumberjack forest ranger who feels compelled to protect her. #BookspinBingo
#12Booksof2024 #Wardens2024 #ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 #ReadMyRoom #ReadYourKobo #BookSpinBingo
So many books to choose from😬🫣 so, I tried to narrow it down. These are the (Jan - May) #SeriesLove2024 reads that stand out the most for me this year.
Because I miss that 2nd of the month feeling, I‘m going to give #BookSpin a proper go this year.
And because I‘m SO good at complicating things, I‘m going to play with two lists - one of my own books, and one of ‘work‘ reading - books or authors on the library shelves, that I really should have read. Or read more.
What could possibly go wrong??!
Alright, alright, alright, my peeps! Who‘s ready for 2025? I‘m not 😂🫣😅 Thanks for tagging along with me for this challenge - I hope it‘s helped you clear those TBR mountains! That being said, please let me know if you‘d like to be added or removed from my tag list. Here‘s to another year of #readyourkindle, #readyourebooks, #readyournook, and #readyourkobo 🎇⭐️♥️
#Roll100 #NonfictionEdition
I have 100+ unread nonfiction books so hopefully this helps lessen that number while reminding me to get more nonfic into my reading diet.

#Roll100 #BOTMedition
In keeping to my resolve to read from my shelves I‘m trying to focus all 2025 Litsy challenges to my personal challenge. I don‘t quite have 100 BOTM books but have spots open for what is added this year. Because let‘s be real, books will be added 😂
@PuddleJumper
Getting my reading journal/calendar ready. Do you have urs ready yet?
My apologies for completely missing last night's #HyggeHour #Readathon it has been a stressful few days. I can't tell you how lovely and cheering it was to hop on Litsy and see all your posts 😊

@KenyaZero
First #BookSpinBingo of 2025! It'll be a fun ride!
@TheAromaofBooks
I‘m getting pretty excited about the #LitsyAtoZ challenge that @Texreader is hosting. I decided to make a place for it in my 2025 reading journal. Some of the books I‘m reading for buddy reads (such as the #LiteraryCrew, #AuthorAMonth and #HitchToScreen) will give me a boost for few letters like Q and W.
This morning is my father in laws funeral.
Litsy definitely gives me a place to escape to and find peace. 💙💙💙

I loved this book. It was such a good story about witches, powers, and a witch hunter. It had all the feels and all the things I love in a good book. I laughed in places and cried in others. I rooted for the three witches to prevail. This author did a fantastic job of capturing my attention and keeping it until the very last word.
Days 26 & 27 Totals #WinterGames2024
Was feeling a little better on Thursday. Got an hour and a half of reading done. Was feeling sick again Thursday night into Friday. Too tired to read Friday.

Apparently, I don‘t have work New Year‘s Eve this year! Surprise! 😅
Who wants to join me for a last minute day long #Readathon before we ring in the New Year?
#TheEleventhHour
It‘s been a great weekend full of family gatherings and we are just relaxing now! Reading and napping!
Happy Sunday everyone 💛
Here's my #Roll100, @Puddlejumper!
I'm going to read the red book about writing. Not really in the mood, yet, for horror and I've read the Steinbeck.
Excited to see what else ends up on my January TBR!
I wouldn't say I'm *ready* for January (or 2025), but having my #bookspin and #castthedie list ready puts me a little farther along the preparedness path. I've got my #roll100 titles on there, my gift books (some of which I've not received yet), and a lot of #tob25 shortlist titles that I may or may not be able to procure before the end of the month.
@TheAromaofBooks @PuddleJumper
My #BookSpin list for January. This year, I think I'll just take a random stack of 20 books from my bookshelf for each month's list. My unread books aren't on the bookshelf in any order at all, so this should help me get to the books I don't even remember that I have, lol. 😁
@TheAromaofBooks
It's teeny tiny, but this is my #Roll100 list for 2025 ! Last year I did really well until July and then I crapped out. 😂 But still, I read a bunch of books from my TBR as a result, which is the GOAL. Thank you @PuddleJumper for organizing!
Can't say im excited by any of these books for #Roll100 !
The two fiction books I think will be DNF/skim read to get them out of the way. The cleaning one is useful, just not excatly a fun thing to read 😅
