•REG OPENS: Sun., Nov. 24 @ 6pm (EST)•
#AuldLangSpine is an annual reading event, which technically begins January 1 but there‘s a lot of lead-up. 🙃 Space is limited.
When sign-ups go live, you‘ll fill out a Google Form including a list of 7-20 of your favorite reads from the past year. I play matchmaker & very intentionally pair you with another Litten (based on genre preferences, etc). You begin the New Year by reading from your match‘s list.
monalyisha It‘s designed to be a cost-free way to connect. Once I send you the list, you put together your stack on your own (whether you visit the library or purchase the titles is up to you). This is a labor of love! I don‘t make spreadsheets for just anything or anyone. 😅 I know our community enjoys it, so the work continues! I get a lot out of it, too…even if I usually forget the finer details of what I‘ve read by the time January rolls around. (edited) 1mo

KadaGul This was my first time participating in #AudLangSpine2024, and I had a great time exploring a whole new world 🌎 of literature by checking out someone else's reading list. It‘s wild how finding new authors in genres I already know can bring so much excitement and fun! I can't wait to sign up for #AudLangSpine2025. I'm so glad I was paired with @Read4life. #AudLangSpine2024 1mo

Birdsong28 Thank you for the tag @monalyisha but I won't be doing it this year as I have just given birth to twins so most of my time is taken up with them. I will probably be in a better place next year to do it so please tag me in the post next year as I do love doing this and I am upset that I can't do it this time. Thank you for hosting again ☺️ 4w
monalyisha @Birdsong28 Oh my goodness! Congratulations! 🎉 4w
Mitch Oh my goodness - literally my best time of the year! Time for your book magic to touch my world! ♥️👏🏼♥️ 4w
