1) The ONLY challenge I have at the moment is my GR reading challenge. I am currently on track to meeting it,
2) I would like to get caught up with the big horror releases of the past couple of years by the end of the year, but I am going to continue to mostly follow my mood. Life is stressful enough that if I force myself to read something that I am not in the mood for at the moment, it'll put me in a slump & I don't need the added stress.

I'm posting my bibliophile highlight of the week as a separate post & several days early because there's no way that it will be topped. A few days ago I had the extremely good fortune to spend a delightful evening with my fellow horror fanatic @reggie There was book shopping, dinner & lots & lots of great conversation. It was a fantastic evening!

Pictured are my #favoritebookishpodcast There's almost always one that fits my mood, increases my TBR & in the case of Mallory & Brea provides a chuckle with the slide whistle. @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

batsy I did it quite a bit when I was younger, mainly for the same reason as @merelybookish said, but also at times because it felt like I was breaking a sacred rule 😆 interestingly my self-spoiler habits didn't ruin any of the books for me back then! 13mo
merelybookish @batsy It's amazing how little the last page reveals. 13mo
KittenColossus After a couple chapters or so, (however long it takes me to get invested in the characters) I read the last line of the book. Really amps me up for some reason. 13mo

Weekly Report

I finished Cold Enough for Snow, my first book for #AuldLangSpine, which was lovely.

After more than a year of (mostly not) reading it, I finally finished Blonde

Currently reading An Exquisite Corpse for bookclub, so Celestial Harmonies, The Rainbow, and The She-Devil in the Mirror are paused.

Also slowly reading through the tagged, which is excellent.

BarbaraBB I had no idea Blonde is such a chunkster! And I am enjoying the She-Devil a lot! 1y

📚 Probably 98% of the time. If I don't I definitely don't feel like my normal self.
📚I don't watch TV, outside of movies & the occasional binge watch of a season. Reading is important to me, so I make time for it like people make time for important things in their lives.
📚 Probably thrillers or mysteries.

Post 2 of my #independentbookstoreday #bookhaul -just the books. Jane Mount the illustrator is a delight. I had to include a better pic of her card for my bookstore with local books that was a freebie in this one. I bought 2 Adam J. Kurtz books that he signed & then a book of his journal stickers. I have been wanting “The Book of Difficult Fruit” & got “The Path to Kindness: Poems of Connection and Joy” because poetry was discounted & I vibed ⬇️

DebinHawaii …with it. The 4 books on the right were my freebies—a YA #ARC & then Oceanic (poetry), Swell (woman traveling alone on a sailboat) & Cereal (UK travel & style magazine with a collecting theme that I plan to use the images in for journaling). 2y

@DebinHawaii you are awesome! I am ridiculously excited about the books, though the tagged book looks like it‘s just going to increase my TBR exponentially. I‘m tempted to frame & hang all the notecards on my library wall (though I fear there won‘t be room. I‘ve had tea from this brand before & it‘s delicious - tea strainers are always welcome. I told my hubby I must be an adult because I got excited about stamps. Love the bookmarks & washi tape.

If snowfall totals are accurate, starting tonight we will have the biggest storm in years. I informed my boss that I will definitely not be in tomorrow & it will be touch & go if I come in Thursday. Once I finish my shift today it'll be carryout pad thai & hunkering down in my fortress of solitude. 📚☕❄️📚

vivastory @Branwen 15-18 inches?! I haven't seen that much snow since I lived in Minneapolis! Although I left the Boy Scouts after one meeting, I have always adhered to the motto of Be Prepared when it comes to stretches of potential glorious cozy reading time! Fingers crossed for you that you get a snow day! I'm curious-how far in advance do they notify you? I ask bc I work in the health field & for the past couple of days I have been receiving (cont.) 2y
vivastory @Branwen calls from dr. offices notifying of closures, but I don't see anything on my library site about possible weather related closure. 2y
vivastory @MittenGirlPeach Nice!! Enjoy 2y
Branwen @vivastory Thanks! I will be keeping my fingers crossed for sure! 🤞🤞🤞 Usually though, it takes A LOT for us to be closed. If your library is anything like mine- they hate confusing/inconveniencing patrons and will mostly stay open through just about anything! In any case, it's usually a last minute decision. I am reeeaaaally hoping that this time there will be enough snow to actually close! I doubt we will tomorrow, but I'm hoping for Thursday! 2y

Such a cool idea for saving thoughts, quotes, etc. from books read. A fun mug for fall with its own matching coaster (I always need coasters!), P&P socks?, and very cool bookends! Bell and Ted totally approve ?? And the most delicious turrón! Thank you so much!

My #Scarathlon2021 total is 44,000!

It made me so weirdly happy that it ended up so even like that, lol. I read 8 novels, 2 novellas, 1 graphic novel, 2 collections and 102 picture books; I listened to 2 novellas and a bunch of spooky short stories.

Thanks @Clwojick & @StayCurious for all your hard work!!! It was, as always, so much fun! ❤🖤🤍

Clwojick You did brilliant this month! Thank you so much for joining us! 🖤 2y

Look what just came through my letterbox 💕 @Graciouswarriorprincess

(I already had the original Bibliophile) the goal of which was to triple my TBR (ha!). The goal of Diverse Spines is to find and read lots of books written by people from different backgrounds ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤

I think I'm going to retreat from the world into my bookish cave for a while 😊🦋

Graciouswarriorprincess I have both books! Enjoy!!!! 2y
vivastory I can't wait to get the new Bibliophile book! I hope to order a print from her sometime next year. Narrowing down the books to include will be agony 📚📚📚 2y

RaeLovesToRead @vivastory Oh my goodness... I didn't realise she did prints... and mugs too 🥰 Wow!!! I think my 10 would be One Day (Nicholls), Royal Assassin (Hobb), A Game of Thrones (Martin), A Prayer for Owen Meany (Irving), Catch-22 (Heller), Noughts & Crosses (Blackman), Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Christie), Norwegian Wood (Murakami), The Bell Jar (Plath) and then either Saga or something by David Mitchell 😄 2y
RaeLovesToRead @vivastory She doesn't have my favourite book (Glass Books of the Dreameaters) & she doesn't have Strangers on a Train which would definitely be a pick!!! There are so many books on the list that I suspect I will love once I've read them too... gaahhh again 🤣 2y
RaeLovesToRead @vivastory Oh wait!!!! Hyperion (Simmons), that's got to be my 10th... but then what about Dune which was also awesome 2y
vivastory Your 10 choices are excellent! I have read most of them & just added Noughts & Crosses to my TBR. I have read only 2 David Mitchell books (Slade House & Cloud Atlas) but I *loved* both of them. I read Patricia Highsmith for the first time during the past year & am def planning on diving into more of her work, including Strangers on a Train. I love the Hitchcock film. I have heard nothing but great things about Hyperion. There are a couple of 2y
vivastory Simmons books that I have been meaning to read & that is def on the list! 2y
RaeLovesToRead @vivastory Aww thank you! 😊 Noughts and Crosses is YA, I read it when I was in my teens, so if you don't like it, blame my younger self, haha. David Mitchell is a beautiful writer. Strangers on a train is even better than the film (and different). Highly recommend it. I've got Carol & Mr Ripley on my shelf to read too. Hyperion is incredible. Canterbury Tales in space! One of my top 5 probably. Weirdly, I haven't yet read the follow up (it 2y
RaeLovesToRead doesn't exactly stand alone), but that's on my to read once I've re-read the first. You'll have to let me know which 10 you eventually choose! 2y

Y‘all. When I sold my townhouse earlier this summer, my husband said I should get one thing I really, really wanted. I have been wanting a custom picture from Ideal Bookshelf for about a decade. I am so excited about this! It came out fantastic & I love it! I can‘t wait till there are walls in my library to hang this up on!

LeahBergen It‘s wonderful! 😍 2y

This is so much fun! Collections of lists (pictured are mystery & horror by diverse authors), author picks, featured bookstores, and more. The design is very colorful and attractive, with thick paper and a lovely cover. Thanks to the publisher & Goodreads for a copy in exchange for an honest review. #nonfiction #booklists #litlovers #bibliophile #BibliophileDiverseSpines

Michael_Gee Lol yeah this rings true. I got my partner doing a vers of @TheAromaofBooks ‘s #bookbingo for the sweet prize of $25 to spend on books and we‘re finally clearing space because it turns out book money + a sense of competition = motivation. He absolutely clobbered me by getting a bingo first (also, he‘s bailed on like 4 of them). But after years they are off the shelves! Btw thank you Sarah. Ha! 3y
TheAromaofBooks @Michael_Gee - LOL I love it!! BookSpinBingo competition for the win!! 3y
