This is pretty much how I felt upon hearing my #AuldLangSpine match is @monalyisha 😆 So excited about this list—there are only two I‘ve already read (Tuck Everlasting is a childhood favorite and Thank You for Listening was also on my #ALSpine2024 list!). Several I‘ve been wanting to read, and several others have now caught my eye. Another post will follow with my reading plans (once the dust settles from my frenzy of library hold-placing).

MatchlessMarie 🤣 👽 💯 3mo
monalyisha Ha! I work as a Children‘s Librarian & I‘m hosting an Interactive Movie during break week (where the kids get a kit full of props/movie magic, & then do certain things at certain times during the viewing). Guess which movie we‘re watching? 🤠🧑‍🚀🦖 I just did a *very* close re-watch *very* recently! Perfect timing with this joke. Nailed it. 😉 3mo
Chelsea.Poole lol perfect meme! LOVED 10 & 11 ♥️♥️♥️ 3mo

BarbaraJean @monalyisha Hahaha!! That is perfect--love it! @Chelsea.Poole Both of those sound so good, and will likely be on my January list if the Libby fates are kind to me! 3mo
monalyisha @Chelsea.Poole @BarbaraJean Confession Time: *Technically,* I read Lost & Found in 2022. I didn‘t get to put it on last year‘s #ALSpine list, though, because I read it at the *very* end of the year, after lists were already sent out. But there was no way I wasn‘t putting it on AN Auld Lang Spine list! It was too good to keep to myself. Not a fast read, by any means…it‘s slow & contemplative — but I‘m completely fine with that. 3mo
Chelsea.Poole @monalyisha well, epic December reads deserve a shot at making the list too! 3mo
BarbaraJean @monalyisha Confession: I snuck a December 2021 read onto last year's list! I read it after finalizing my 2021 list, so I decided it was allowable. 😁 3mo
monalyisha @BarbaraJean Love a good rule-breaker. 😆🤘🏻😈 3mo

Looks like a great list, thank you @Karisa
Now I just have to choose which ones I will pick. I‘ve already read Hamnet, Telegraph Club, Demon Copperhead and Babel. Not sure if I will have time today to decide, since Christmas is in full swing here ⭐️🎄🎁.

Karisa Can‘t wait to see what you choose and if you like it! Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄🎉 (edited) 3mo

I am so ready to exploring the #AuldLangSpine list provided by @Amiable I love narrative nonfiction so I‘m excited to choose a few of those. Book 1 is the only one from her list that I‘ve read but it is one of my all-time favorites so I think I‘ll use this as an excuse to revisit it. 4 and 5 are available at my library so I‘ll choose one of them too. The fiction choices that I‘ll start with are 9, 11, & 12, which have been on my radar.

Chelsea.Poole Great list @Amiable !! I am super intrigued by these NF titles! 3mo
Amiable “All the Young Men” was on my 2023 list from @Deblovestoread —it‘s a great read, and I‘m thrilled that it keeps getting passed along via #AuldLangSpine ! 3mo
Amiable And also — “Hellhound” was my favorite book of the year, hands down. Such a phenomenal book! 3mo

What a treat I have ahead of me! I have only read one book on this wonderful list (Tom Lake); I own Our Fathers and Fire Dwellers but have not read, so those will start my year for sure. But the real fun is that I haven‘t even heard of any of the other titles/authors. My Christmas will be spent looking them all up and choosing what‘s next! So excited. Thank you for such a thoughtful list and a great pairing. Adventure awaits #auldlangspine2024

Sapphire I have guests arriving in ten minutes! I will fix that photo of the list as soon as I can. Tomorrow is super full being Christmas Eve and I may not have 5 min to myself until Christmas 3mo
TheKidUpstairs I'm glad you are as excited as I am! Have a Wonderful Christmas, and I look forward to talking books with you in the New Year ❤️ 3mo

We definitely like the same kinds of books, @RebelReader 😊 I have the two on the left on my Kindle, and the two on the right were already on my TBR (very excited to read both). Also: Fresh Water for Flowers was my favorite book read in 2022, I love it so ♥️ #AuldLangSpine2024 @monalyisha

CBee @RebelReader Hello Beautiful will most likely be my 2023 favorite ♥️ 3mo
Chelsea.Poole @rebelreader Great list! I read Little Monsters which didn‘t make my list, but I enjoyed it. Also, I really want to read Covenant of Water. Nice graphic @CBee 😊 3mo
CBee @Chelsea.Poole thank you - I think we‘re some of the last ones in The Covenant of Water game 😊 3mo

CBee @vivastory good to know! The Power is a prequel to The Cartel, right? Oh! Did you get the book I sent? 3mo
vivastory @CBee Yep, it's a prequel. I did get the book 🙂 I just sent you an email 3mo
CBee @vivastory got the email, responded, and will say again - thank you, friend ♥️♥️ 3mo
vivastory 💙 I totally know what you mean about being swamped by b & n email. I think I've received like 5 or 6 just since Xmas lol 3mo
CBee @vivastory same. I rarely buy books there unless there‘s a sale (or unless a very lovely person sends me a gift card 😁), so I don‘t know why I‘m still subscribed 🤷‍♀️ 3mo
vivastory @CBee I don't know if you ever listen to their podcast (Poured Over) but it's pretty enjoyable 3mo

Hi, it‘s me! 👋🏻

My friend Dave, who is responsible for all of the lovely match photos, also took this one of me wandering around downtown New Bedford (of Moby Dick fame). I‘m sure I was trying to avoid methodically knocking people‘s hats off (iykyk).

Anyway, all #AuldLangSpine matches have been announced! I‘m headed to dinner. Emails coming soon (probably tomorrow)! 🥳 Thanks for creating such wonderful lists! It‘s been a labor of love.

TheKidUpstairs You are an absolute rock star. Thank you for all you do to make this event happen every year. 3mo

monalyisha @BarbaraJean I‘m pretty sure I consider matching us every year! It was only a matter of time. 😉 3mo
JamieArc @BarbaraJean I felt that way last year when she was my match 😁. Some from her list were favorites of the year, some will stay with me for a very long time, and there are others I‘m still very much looking forward to reading! 3mo
BarbaraJean @monalyisha 💜 Aw… I love that my lists have been so enticing over the years! ☺️ I‘m really looking forward to diving into your list—several have been on my radar and I‘m excited to have the “excuse” to read them, and several that I haven‘t come across that sound fascinating! 3mo

RebelReader @Sapphire I hope your match this year is just as wonderful as @CBee 3mo

One of the best parts, is that Jamie continued to tag me throughout the year whenever she encountered something new she thought I‘d like. Such a thoughtful touch!

fredthemoose Thanks @monalyisha !! This is so funny because a year or two ago I actually reached out to @JenReadsAlot to ask for her list because I noticed we‘d liked some of the same books. 3mo
fredthemoose @JenReadsAlot looking forward to it! 3mo
monalyisha @fredthemoose Ha! I love that! I‘m gonna chalk that up as paying close attention/on the right track, then! 😜 3mo
JenReadsAlot Woohoo! Can't wait to see your list @fredthemoose 3mo

Chelsea.Poole Hi 👋 @IndoorDame —so excited to be matched. Thanks @monalyisha 📚♥️ 3mo
monalyisha @Chelsea.Poole I chose this milkweed beetle especially for you! 🧡🦋🖤 My friend Dave snapped his photo (and named him Harold) when he was living in his backyard. 3mo
Chelsea.Poole @monalyisha ahh! Love Harold. You‘re SO thoughtful 💕 (and even more fitting—my husband‘s name is Dave) (edited) 3mo

IndoorDame @Chelsea.Poole Hi 👋 @Chelsea.Poole — I‘m psyched that we got matched and can‘t wait to see your list and get to know you better! 3mo
IndoorDame @monalyisha Thank you so much for all the time and thoughtful work you devote to matching! I‘m so excited for January reading! And Harold is Super cute!!!! I love his curious little expression! (I never thought much about where you got these photos before) 3mo
monalyisha Thanks, @IndoorDame! I get the photos from one of my closest friends! We‘ve known each other since we were teenagers. He‘s a middle school English teacher by day — just picked up photography during the pandemic, if you can believe it! He has a strict policy of ethical nature photography and fights for climate justice. Just an all-around good person. 💚 3mo
IndoorDame @monalyisha that‘s so wonderful! Thinking back I do remember you always attributed the photos, and I‘ve always really enjoyed them, but now I‘ll pay extra attention 📷❤️ 3mo
monalyisha @IndoorDame Love that! He even crops them square for me in advance. What a peach. 😅🍑 3mo
CBee @monalyisha I noticed he calls it “decent” photography but it‘s so much MORE than that - it‘s fabulous! Absolutely beautiful pics ♥️ 3mo

JamieArc I Hope you‘re having fun making the matches! 3mo
monalyisha @JamieArc Ha! Yes and no 😅 - as always. But mostly yes. 😉 It‘s so satisfying when it all comes together. 3mo
monalyisha @JamieArc I *might* be looking for a guest host for the next go-around. I‘ve been wondering if a fresh set of eyes might be able to see brand-new connections between readers. Plus, it would be kind-of fun to be on the other end of it. 😉 3mo
JamieArc @monalyisha I *might* be interested in thinking about that… 3mo
KadaGul @monalyisha This is my first☝️ time doing it & im looking 👀 forward ⏭️to it. #AuldLangSpine #HappyHoliday 🎄🎅🍪🎁 3mo
monalyisha @JamieArc Thrilling...*maybe.* 😅 We'll have to touch base again in the not-very-near future. 3mo
CBee Thank you for your hard work ♥️ 3mo
monalyisha @Christine If you keep getting notifications from me, I apologize! The only way I can find your username is by tagging; searching doesn't yield the right results. I'm just going to leave this comment here...but honestly, this should be the last time I need to pull you up in my matching endeavors, anyway. 😉 3mo
Melismatic So excited! Thanks so much for the hardworking 💖🥳 3mo
Christine LOL - I‘m sorry my username is so unwieldy! That‘s what I get for using just my (common) first name!! 🤣 Thank you for your patience with it, and for all of the effort you put into this project! So excited to take part for the first time this year after admiring all previous ones! 3mo
RebelReader I appreciate all you do for this event. I can‘t imagine trying to match people, but I always get introduced to new great books every year so you‘re doing something right! 😀👍🏻 3mo

At 50 participants for #AuldLangSpine2024 & it caps at 70 or reg closes Friday-whichever is first.

DO NOT miss out on this fun annual event! @monalyisha does an amazing job of matching up Littens & their favorite books of the past year & then you just read at least 1 book from your match‘s list. Easy-peasy! This is year 4 for me & each year I find new books to ❤️ & many of them end up on my year-end list.

See her #AuldLangSpine posts for info!
