If you guessed that the #WickedWords Book/Movie this month was Love Actually, you were correct!

I know what you are thinking - ummm… Elizabeth that is only a movie not also a book! Well you are technically correct, but there are books based on the themes in the movie, so I am counting it, lol! Also I couldn‘t pass up the chance to use this movie because it is definitely a holiday tradition for me to watch it!

And here's my November roundup for #WickedWords @AsYouWish

Every one is a graphic story this month! Gay time travel romance, Ohio cult horror, a graphic memoir by a Wuhanese-American, true crime nonfiction, and a charming spooky graphic novel with a Ghibli vibe.

If you guessed that the #WickedWords Book/Movie this month was Remember the Titans or We Are Marshall you were correct!

I read Remember This Titan a while back and was struck by the real life coach of this team and everything he went through during that year and since! He is quite the guy and I highly recommend his book. I have not read November Ever After yet, but it is high on my TBR!

That's a wrap on October! A real mixed bag this time - a historical fantasy romance novel, a YA sports graphic novel, a novel about WWII Navajo code talkers, a memoir of a 1980s nurse, and essays on crafting.

I read this book a while back and it was fun to compare it to the movie.

Less than halfway through the month and that's a wrap on September for me! Two romances, a YA, an art fraud mystery, and a YA sports graphic novel.

Pick of the month: it's the old one! Getting Rid of Bradley was a hoot.

Have you ever read a book where the songs from the movie are turned into dialogue? The book follows the movie pretty closely, but there are moments added & some parts have been changed completely. I loved this book, it is on the top of my list for rereads. Plus Grease 2 is way better than Grease (yes, I said it and I stand by it!!)

💙💙💙💙

This was a reread for me and I loved it just as much as I did originally! I have always thought this was a super cool way of introducing Shakespeare to teens and young adults. Some parts are different from the movie (not sure why) and other parts are screen captured goodness!

I did not get a chance to read my book yet, but it is on my list for this year!

@AsYouWish #WickedWords
A good mix of books for Wicked Words this month! A graphic novel, a LGBTQIA+ SF YA anthology, a historical romance, a contemporary romance, and a prequel.

Pick of the crop: I think An Unexpected Party, though if you're not in Australia it might be hard to get your hands on. It's a homegrown Western Australian book.

I read it (a reread for me) and it was just as amazing as the first time! This book always gives me hope and breaks my heart at the same time! I love Allie and Noah‘s story so much! I also adore the movie (hello Ryan Gosling!!) and it will forever hold a special place in my heart!

I read it (my first time) and I have to say it was not as scary as I thought it would be. Then again I have watched the movie many times, so I knew main plot points of the book (and thanks to Joey on Friends for “accidentally” spoiling the ending). Over all I enjoyed it and it was a good snowy day book to read.

It's been a pretty good month of reading so far! Knocked out #WickedWords @AsYouWish

Not sure if I enjoyed Kaiju Preservation Society or Paladin's Grace more, but they were both a fun ride from authors who I always vibe with.

Hello 2024! Congrats everyone who finished all the words in 2023 or finished any words because that mean you got books off your TBRs!

By popular vote, every month is going to have a theme, the overall theme of the year is books that are also movies.
The Catch: I am not going to reveal the book/movie until the end of the month, so you are welcome to guess when logging books!

Now for those #WickedWords

Kicking off September in Wicked Words! Also I'm calling it : Kambarang has started a few weeks early. It's 29 degrees here, the koolbardies are swooping, and the air/sun is starting to have that heavy warm feeling. Time to wash and pack away the woollens for another year.
