The Early Birds

Hey my #SpookyGhostClub! So wants some #EarlyBirdPoints for #Scarathlon?! I know I do 😆

We‘re still taking applications until October 1st, but these early bird tasks must be completed by the last day of September to qualify you for the points!

Sarahreadstoomuch, DebinHawaii, Larkken, Morr_Books, Traci1, Addison_Reads, TheSpineView, TheAromaofBooks, AmandaBlaze

Traci1 Just a quick question. Since we're keeping track of our own points, do you want us to tag you in all of our posts for scarathlon? Or would you prefer we didn't? I just don't want to inundate you with tons of posts if you'd rather just be tagged for like main ones. 7mo

TheSpineView 👍🤩😊 7mo

Clwojick @Traci1 You can tag me in all posts, I don‘t mind! But DEFINITELY tag me in your point checkins ☺️ 7mo

CindyMyLifeIsLit Just for clarification—can you still sign up on October 1st or has the ship sailed? 7mo

Clwojick @CindyMyLifeIsLit sign ups will still be open for a few more days, in case anyone gets *fomo* and decides to join! ☺️ 7mo

New book group read ..... first page or so sounds interesting :)

So to follow up on this about a month later .. finished this yesterday. Great read it sort of rambled and meandered through the life stories and older years of Peggy and her friends ... it was funny, sad, moving in equal measure .... I liked the feel of it with its American roots and hints of their past lives and their older years ... worth reading I thought

Some bookish swag arrived for me yesterday - these lovely recipe cards for Laurie Graham's next book. I'm so excited about The Early Birds - it's a sequel to Future Homemakers of America which I loved - and the all the recipes have a dose of Graham's wit about them.

Roll on release day! (May 18th here)
