Lessons in Fusion: A Novel | Primrose Madayag Knazan
post image

When I say #auldlangspine is my favorite reading event every year, I mean that I have participated in every iteration of this event & it‘s the thing I most look forward to in January. Some of my all time favorite books have come from this event.
Here are my favorites from the past years:
2024 @Karisimo The Eyes & The Impossible
2023 @xicanti Lessons in Fusion
2022 @JackOBotts Sigh,Gone
2021 @BarbaraJean How Long ‘til Black Future Month
⬇️

MeganAnn 2020 4thhouseontheleft (who doesn‘t seem to be on Litsy anymore? Or changed their handle) Far From the Tree. (edited) 4d
MeganAnn 2019 @TheKidUpstairs The Namesake. And 2018 @monalyisha Bellweather Rhapsody in the original #freakyfriday event. (edited) 4d
MeganAnn Every single one of these titles made it on my year‘s list of favorites. Although for some of these years it was hard to choose just one favorite book! Thanks to all of my matches for exposing me to such great reads! & thanks to @TheKidUpstairs and @Amiable for the inspiration to post my favorites! (edited) 4d

TheKidUpstairs I love seeing the domino books - I think I read Bellweather Rhapsody from your list, I never knew it came from @monalyisha 😁 4d
Zuhkeeyah Ooo I spy a book from the list you gave me this year! @meganann 4d
MeganAnn @TheKidUpstairs I love the domino books too! There have been several books I‘ve read based off @monalyisha‘s recommendations or reviews over the years that have ended up on my favorites list. She has stellar taste! 4d
MeganAnn @Zuhkeeyah definitely! There‘s a couple from my list that I read for #auldlangspine last year. It was hard to choose just one favorite! 4d
monalyisha Thanks, Megan(s)! 🥰 4d
Karisimo I‘m so sad that I didn‘t get my list put together in time to participate this year 😢 4d
BarbaraJean I love this!! I'll have to go back and look at my favorites over the years. I read and loved Far from the Tree from your list, and it went onto my list the following year. Auld Lang Spine is the gift that keeps on giving!! 4d
JackOBotts I love this, @MeganAnn ~ while I‘m not part of the fun this year, you can bet I‘m peeking at past year matches to screen shot their & their match‘s lists! 💜 Happy reading. And Thank You for such a great list in our year. 🙌🏼 (edited) 3d
MeganAnn @Karisimo it‘s always such a busy time of year! Check out @JackOBotts comment. I‘ve been having so much fun looking at everyone‘s lists and adding to my TBR. A fun way to semi-participate even though you didn‘t get in on the official event. And I‘d love to see a list of your favorites for the year if you do get a chance to put one together! 3d
MeganAnn @JackOBotts that‘s such a lovely idea! I love looking at everyone‘s lists. Happy reading and thanks back to you for a wonderful list as well! Sigh, Gone remains one of my absolute favorite books. 3d
MeganAnn @BarbaraJean it was lovely to revisit all these past lists and choose my favorites. It also made me realize there are still a lot of titles on those lists I want to read and haven‘t gotten to yet! 3d
Karisimo Thanks @MeganAnn I think I will do that! 3d

Finished for my virtual foodie book club & enjoyed it. It‘s fun & food-filled as a chef is taken captive by a female pirate captain & must cook her a gourmet dinner each Sunday to stay alive. He gets quite creative with limited provisions & conditions on the ship. My bookish dish is this Potato, Cod, Garbanzo Bean & Saffron Stew, combining various ingredients from the book.

Thanks to @MeganAnn for including a copy in my #BWS box last month.🤗

ju.ca.no I‘ve also really enjoyed that one 😍 3y
TheBookHippie Looks wonderful! 3y
MeganAnn Looks delicious! I‘m so glad you liked the book! I first read it a few years ago because it was on @monalyisha ‘s list of favorites for #freakyfriday. It‘s one that‘s stayed with me ever since. 3y
monalyisha It‘s such a bizarre book but it‘s so good! Glad it‘s making the Litsy rounds, @MeganAnn! 3y

A fantastic #newyearwhodis list from @JackOBotts 🎉😍 I‘ve already read #1&3 - loved both. The tagged book is on my #newyearwhodis2022 list also & I read it last January because it was on @BarbaraJean ‘s list!

The top 3 pictured are already on my TBR list so I will definitely read those. I‘ve been meaning to read more Matt Haig books for years. I‘ve also been meaning to try Colson Whitehead. There is No Good Card looks fascinating & new to me ⬇️

BarbaraJean Ooooh, this looks like a great list! I‘m going to be stalking so many people‘s lists today!! 3y
MeganAnn The Cause of Freedom looks like it may be a difficult but important read and is also one I hadn‘t heard of previously. I‘m hoping to get to it as well at some point during 2022 if not in January - mostly depending on my mood and if I can mentally fit both that and Stamped in the same month. The Whispering Dead looks like a fun supernatural mystery type book I hadn‘t seen before and if time allows I hope to read that as well. 3y
MeganAnn Thanks @monalyisha for such an excellent match! You are a rockstar at matching up lists ✨🎉😍😘 (edited) 3y

MeganAnn @BarbaraJean right?! Me too! 3y
monalyisha You‘re so welcome! 🥰 3y
MeganAnn @Cinfhen I‘m very excited for that one! I had stacked it on litsy from someone‘s post (can‘t remember whose) a long time ago and then forgot about it. I‘m so glad @JackOBotts list has brought it back to my attention! 3y
monalyisha I actually didn't much like We Ride Upon Sticks. But it showed up on a lot of lists! I'm weirdly (maliciously? I hope not! 😅) looking forward to reading your review & seeing what camp you fall into. 3y
monalyisha I bought the Matt Haig for my MIL this Christmas. I hope it's great for your & for her sake! ;) My favorite of his is The Humans (which you may know...was that on your #FreakyFriday list? It feels like so long ago now). 3y
MeganAnn @monalyisha @Cinfhen We Ride Upon Sticks is on my TBR because of a lot of great reviews on Litsy… now I‘m curious on which camp I‘ll fall into as well! 3y
MeganAnn @monalyisha I haven‘t read The Humans, but I may have had The Radleys on my #freakyfriday list? I can‘t remember anymore, but that‘s the one of his I loved and keeps me thinking I really should read more of his stuff. I also loved his middle Christmas series starting with The Boy Who Saved Christmas. 3y
monalyisha Oh, I‘ve been meaning to check out that MG series! Maybe this December? 🤷‍♀️ 3y
monalyisha I bet you‘ll like We Ride Upon Sticks. I was probably just in a funk. 🙈 Still! The intrigue! 3y
MeganAnn @monalyisha it‘s a perfect quick December read! I saw Netflix recently released a movie based on the first book as well which is actually A Boy Called Christmas (my bad🤷‍♀️). Book 2 is The Girl Who Saved Christmas so I meshed them together in my head. 😆🤦🏻‍♀️ 3y
monalyisha I knew exactly what you meant! 😉 3y
monalyisha Ahem. I just stumbled upon my review of We Ride Upon Sticks & apparently I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. 😅 I remember being annoyed about a few things. It‘s funny that that‘s the memory/mood that persisted when I clearly really enjoyed so many other aspects. I wrote a fairly detailed review. 😆 My memory is so embarrassing. 🙈 3y
MeganAnn @monalyisha I just went back and found your review and other posts… love it! It is weird how sometimes the only thing I remember about reading a particular book is my mood or whatever was going on in life completely unrelated to the actual book.🤷‍♀️ One of the many reasons I reread so many of them. 3y
monalyisha Definitely eager(er) to discuss now that my mind is refreshed. 😉 3y
JackOBotts @MeganAnn - Yay! 🥳 I loved seeing the overlap on our lists and am so excited to plan a bit today! It‘s going to be tricky to wait till January! 😂 I can‘t wait to see your thoughts on these ready! I hope they don‘t disappoint!!!! 3y

This book is hitting a lot of the themes for today: having Friday as a character, a C in the title for Crusoe, and an all around great book to read about a cast away.

Good Southern Witches | Angela M. Sanders, Keily Blair
post image

#haunted #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix

It‘s Friday & since this book of short stories about Southern witches includes one witha woman turning into a rose bush with pink flowers, I think it‘s a good pick for today‘s #FreakyFriday prompt. I read this story & one more during my desk-time poke bowl lunch.

On a separate note, for those taking part in #Scarathlon how do you count short stories? Is it by story or once you finish the book? 🤔

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 🖤🙌🏻🧙🏻 3y
Read-y_Picker It‘s BY story so you don‘t have to finish the book 😁 3y
DebinHawaii @Read-y_Picker Oh cool! Do you know how many points per story directly related to team theme? I‘m sure it‘s probably written somewhere I just haven‘t noticed yet! 🤦🏻‍♀️ 3y

Read-y_Picker @DebinHawaii 25 - directly related to halloween
15 - team theme
5 - all other books

Read-y_Picker @DebinHawaii so when I read The Witch‘s Vacuum Cleaner, which ended up deceptively not having all that many stories to do with witches, I gave myself 6 stories worth of team points and the rest regular. 3y
Eggs Perfect 👌🏼🌹🥘👏🏻 (edited) 3y
