FourFoursIn23

Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors. The Sunday Times no 1 bestseller | Tom Bower

I‘m back!! Well, at half working capacity but I‘m at least able to listen to audiobooks now. What an awful start to 2024😵‍💫Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes and asked where I was, I‘ve been very ill with a hospital stay & a week long migraine being the highlights. Still having trouble with reading & screens but I‘m trying! Well done too to everyone that‘s participating in #JumpStart2024 I‘ll be around for the rest of the ‘thon👇

Lizpixie Currently listening to the tagged audiobook & loving all the gossip about the Harkles! 1y

Lizpixie @CarolynM @Andrew65 thank you both, I‘m sorry to have made you worry, believe me, I was worried myself! I‘m taking it as slowly as possible which is driving me nuts, but the last thing I need is that migraine back. Your love & concern is so much appreciated & if we met IRL I‘d give you both a huge hug. Hope your own health worries are also improving, even if it‘s moving at glacier pace as well! Much love to you both.♥️♥️ 1y

Lauredhel Hi! You probably missed that you won #fourfoursin23 - shall I re send your prize questionnaire? 1y

Lizpixie Hi @Lauredhel can you please resend it? I‘ve been very ill the last month and haven‘t really been online much at all. Thanks lovely! 1y

Lauredhel @Lizpixie I'm sorry you've been so unwell :( Re-sent! 1y

The #Fourfoursin23 is a challenge I always complete based entirely on ✨vibes✨ 😂 I probably could have made something work for my final two, but nothing I read felt completely right. Thank you for hosting @lauredhel - some of the 2024 prompts look super fun!!!

willaful I love challenges based on vibes! 1y

There are 74 days left in the year! I finished my #fourfoursin23 #readingchallenge a short time ago - how are you progressing?

I hope you've enjoyed this year's rhyming prompts; I'm idly working on a set for next year.

@thebacklistbook @clwojick @thearomaofbooks @lizpixie @AbigailJaneBlog @CoffeeNBooks @ReadingRachael @mcipher @AbigailJaneBlog @PageShifter @Jas16

Lizpixie I finished mine about two months ago! The hardest for me was Bustle Muscle, I don‘t read much clinch cover type books. Thanks for the challenge🙌🎉🎉 2y

Lauredhel @Lizpixie yes, I try to give plenty of possible options in my Tips posts for people who don't read particular genres! Love a flexible challenge 2y

Jas16 I finished about two months ago as well and enjoyed the challenge. Thanks for putting it together! 2y

TheAromaofBooks I'm really enjoying this one!! I just go on vibes 😂 Peewee Teevee and Wombat Combat are the two I have left, but I'm confident I'll find books that click for me before the end of the year!! 2y

thebacklistbook I'm getting there 2y

Lauredhel @Jas16 2y

Lauredhel @TheAromaofBooks vibes are a perfectly cromulent way of filling these prompts 2y

The Two Towers: Being the Second Part of The Lord of the Rings | J.R.R. Tolkien

I haven't had much time to get on Litsy between work and family shenanigans (why is all my out-of-town family visiting during my busiest time of year?! Get it together, people! 😂) BUT I have still been reading quite a bit, which is great because I really felt like my mojo was lacking for a couple months. This week was a mix of #LMPBC, #LOTRChapteraDay, #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead, and some random books for #Scarathlon. All were enjoyable but ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) besides The Two Towers, none of them were exceptional. However, I've participated in loads of challenges and readathons, so I'll be getting into an excessive amount of hashtags below! Thank you to all the lovely hosts of these fun challenges. I'm really enjoying them, even if I don't always post about them!! 2y

Lauredhel Goodness me and I thought I was overdoing the challenges! Lol 2y

TheAromaofBooks @Lauredhel - Any excuse for another spreadsheet 😂 Most of these are just for Scarathlon. My year-long challenge list is significantly more reasonable!! 2y

TheSpineView Great job! That is a lot of stuff to keep up with! 2y

Lauredhel @TheAromaofBooks so you just pretend your hobby is reading; it‘s actually Excel 🤣 (edited) 2y

PuddleJumper 😲 2y

Lonely Werewolf Girl | Martin Millar

pick

Bk3 of August & #Rushathon #readathon is done. Finally!! When I dragged myself out of this mini slump, I ended up very much enjoying this book.It‘s Werewolf Satire,if that‘s even a subgenre & was wholly entertaining. With a depressed berserker werewolf teen, a werewolf Enchantress, an interfering Fire Elemental Princess, two drugged out musician werewolves, a cross dressing werewolf king to be,a huge feud & a whole lot of snark,it‘s a wild ride.👇

Everybody Was So Young: Gerald and Sara Murphy, A Lost Generation Love Story | Amanda Vaill

pick

Expat Americans Gerald and Sara Murphy seemed to socialize with the who‘s who of the 1920‘s- Picasso, Hemingway, the Fitzgeralds, and Dorothy Parker just to name a few. However their generous spirits and zeal for life and art make them equally captivating figures. This biography was very detailed which made it plod along at times but it is a period time I always love reading about. Last book for #fourfoursin23 #glossyposse

Lauredhel

Lauredhel Well done! This sounds like a perfect fill for that prompt. Congrats! 2y

DivineDiana This looks so good! I have been a fan of the Murphys for quite some time. ❤️ 2y

My Reading Challenge: Fun Notebook Tracker for Children (8.5"x11" UK English A4) | Chulabula Designs

Dragonfly in Amber | Diana Gabaldon

And since Dragonfly in Amber well and truly fills the #BustleMuscle prompt, I think (ok technically it's pre-bustle, but Jamie's the muscle) - that's also a wrap on the #fourfoursin23 #readingchallenge for me for the year!

How are you all progressing?

@thebacklistbook @clwojick @thearomaofbooks @lizpixie @AbigailJaneBlog @CoffeeNBooks @ReadingRachael @mcipher @AbigailJaneBlog @PageShifter @Jas16

AbigailJaneBlog I have one more square left! I'm finding the last few prompts quite difficult 😅 2y

Lauredhel @AbigailJaneBlog we could brain storm possibilities if you say the prompts and the genres you like? 2y

Jas16 Just one more to go 2y

Lauredhel @Jas16 ooh which one? 2y

Jas16 Glossy posse 2y

mcipher Oh I failed this SO HARD because I legit forgot about it until now 😂😂 I guess I love to join challenges, not actually complete them 2y

Lauredhel @mcipher you so haven't failed! We're barely half way through the year. Sort back through your Read list - it's a super flexible challenge so you're probably half way there and didn't know it :) 2y

Lauredhel @Jas16 oh Glossy Posse is doable - any sort of tight girl gang or friend group 2y

Lauredhel @Jas16 if you want a specific rec, Yardley's "Love, Comment, Subscribe" has a heroine who is a beauty Youtuber 2y

Jas16 @Lauredhel I do have that one languishing in my kindle. Great suggestion 2y

AbigailJaneBlog @Lauredhel I have a few ideas for the others (bustle muscle & armour charmer), but Peewee Teevee is the one I'm struggling with most!
2y

Lauredhel @AbigailJaneBlog I read Here for the Right Reasons for that one - it's set on a reality TV set. But you could read anything that's been adapted for TV - that leaves it wide open! Or just read a novella. You don't have to make the book fill both prompts - one is enough. Both is kinda a bonus Hard setting. 2y

AbigailJaneBlog @Lauredhel I didn't even think of an adaptation! That has opened my eyes - thank you! 😅😂 2y
