#BookSpin

@TheAromaOfBooks

Terrible photo and messy handwriting, but my dark and spooky #Bookspingbingo list for October. Indigenous and Mexican authors and some well known writers I‘ve not yet read. Early bird points for #scarathlon @Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks #TeamBOOklovers

#SummerEndReadathon #Wardens2023 #RushAThon

Lots of good strategies. Good read!

This made me lol.

Post a song, poem or quote that expresses the daily prompt! So much fun reading everyone‘s finds

#PoetryMatters

Today's goal is to start this

#SummerEndReadathon

Creature Feature...a new collection of short stories on Kindle. I know what I am reading this spooky season!!! 😱😜🤓

7 years ago today I made one of the best decisions of my life - I joined Litsy! This is the best community out there. In those 7 years, I‘ve met a few Littens in person, and have made great friendships through #LitsyLove and through just connecting on Litsy.

From your love of books to the way you care about fellow Littens. Thank you for making this such an amazing, safe place!

Perhaps I will celebrate by reading! 😊

Day 25
Books thay I have read, and read Last Night at the Telegraph Club. Still many pages left and due date is knocking 🙈

#SummerEndReadathon

Sweet and short. Great narrators.
All phone calls and voicemails.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

October‘s #BookSpinBingo list…I‘m all about the spooky (to me) options! Thanks to Canva for this fabulous graphic.

The first 10 are various #buddyread titles and challenge titles…most are mysterious or spooky, but not all of them.

“Should” is a tough one, but transformative ones for me were A Wrinkle in Time, Anne of Green Gables, Susan Cooper‘s Dark Is Rising series, The Devil in Vienna, the Narnia books.
#SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern

1. ?: The Stand by Stephen King/?: IT (both with Tim Curry and Bill Skarsgård)
2. Apple cider. I guzzle it down by the gallons this time of year. ?
3. At night in bed.
4. Halloween.
5. I eat M&Ms in color matched pairs and the M sides have to be facing my tongue.

Reading at the library

October is always the easiest month to plan my #bookspin list. All I do is go to my StoryGraph To-Read Pile and filter for dark, mysterious, and/or tense reads, et voila! Unfortunately, October is the month with zero days off from work (aside from weekends) so no extra time for reading, but hopefully many of these are scary enough to keep me awake...less sleep means more reading time! 🙃

@TheAromaofBooks

@Emilymdxn Here are the books that I pick for you from the haunted house challenge. 🎃👻

Enjoy!! 🍁🦊🍂

At my favorite place. Had a book on hold come so Im walking around. Nothing else to do.

Thanks @PuddleJumper for making this fun! Here‘s my list for #castthedie which I made several days ago and forgot to post. My book for #castthedie is Halloween Party! I‘ll be glad to finally read this!!

#Scarathlon #BlackCatCrew Pleased to meet you!

1. Once upon a time... before Litsy... I used to be very picky about what I read. Also I have trouble DNF'ing even when I know it's not the end of the world.
2. Paranormal & historical fiction
3. Fall/Winter
4. I'd really like to
5. Canada🇨🇦
6. Dog mom, favourite auntie, baker. Turned the magic 42 this summer and no one here understood lol 👍𝟒𝟐🛸

#Bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

I've decided to keep the next 3 months reading pretty open by focusing on books I already own. One thing for sure, tho, it's all gonna be spooky 👻

Thanks to these Litsy folks for today‘s prompt:

#IDIOMINSIGHT

@Eggs
@AlwaysBeenALoverOfBooks
@LitsyEvents
#LitsyEvents

TODAY‘S PROMPT: BURY THE HATCHET

Today's goal is to read this forward as much as possible: due date is soon

#SummerEndReadathon

I wasn‘t aware until I looked up #BuryTheHatchet that this expression frequently tops lists of colloquialisms that the Native community have described as offensive and asked people to stop using. #IdiomInsight @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

Goal completed, read forward both books

#SummerEndReadathon

Welp @MeganAnn ! You're stuck in a haunted house with these 5 books for company! #trappedinaspookyhouse @PuddleJumper

I‘m still working on my TBR, watchlist & October Bucket List for Team #SpookyGhostClub but just a reminder that there are still a few days left to sign up for #Scarathlon 2023! 👻🧡👻

Here‘s the link to join in the holiday fun! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdnawYo1IDsBAr2s_LlqzBQlxM8KGwIqDxE1Dm4...

I read three of the four books I brought with me for the weekend. I‘ll start the fourth on the plane home tomorrow. Of course, every part of me aches from the (inadequately trained for) race so I might just sleep instead. 😂 #bookreport #weeklyforecast @Cinfhen

I don't remember what our #LitsyCrafters prompt was this month, but here's an impromptu craft I did with my mom today. Super fun!

Happy Sunday everyone!! Do you ever turn down invites to stay home and read?! 😉📚💜

What are you reading and what were your favorites of September?! 📚📚
