Nathan is flung into an unexpected adventure when he meets up with the mysterious Haven and crosses path with the volken chasing after him. This was a fun read. I wish it was a bit more developed, but I loved the characters and how the story unfolds. #Nonbinary #Hispanic #Fantasy #Comics

Hello, November! The end of the year is coming up fast. The only challenges I really want to complete are the #gottacatchemall, #nonfiction2024, alphabet challenge, and the diversity across genres challenge (hosted on Insta). I'm so close to finishing them. This month will be dedicated to filling most of the remaining prompts so I can have a low key December full of bonus reads.

Explore human culture after becoming a space faring species out of necessity for generations, and then a species split between planed and the ships wee survived on. A scifi slice of life: Another excellent read in this series exploring the many aspects of being human. I loved this as much as Chambers' other books. #scifi #SpaceColony

It was pretty cool learning about the women of Disney Studios history. They had to put up with a lot in order to follow their career dreams. I also really enjoyed learning the history of many of the films these women worked on, and learning a bit of cinima history along the way. Check content warnings before reading. #WomensHistory #FilmHistory #Animation

While I was disappointed at first not to return to the crew of the Wayfarer, it didn't last long. I greatly enjoyed getting to know Lovelace as she settles into her new life outside of a ship framework, and enjoyed exploring the troubling survival story of a small girl created for one purpose until accidentally unmoored from it. I adored the ending as well. #LGBTQIA #SliceOfLife #Cozy

There are only 2 months left in 2024! #GottaCatchemAll

What prompts do you have left? Post them below and people can recommend books. I definitely need some help

There will be a special winter version coming soon and I will be carrying this on in 2025. We‘re going to Alola next year and hopefully I‘ve got some new and challenging prompts for you.

PuddleJumper So I've got a few left;
Meowth: Treasure
Sinistea: Tea cup on cover

Perrserker: Set during a war - He Who Drowned the World (Hopefully)
Shelmet: Fairy tale retelling - Cinderella is Dead
Escalavier: Arthurian legend or characters - Legendborn?

Rec me up!
3d
Laughterhp I have 3 left! White cover, longest book on TBR (Crescent City), and grey cover - idk why the covers get me. 3d

Laughterhp I did legendborn for escalavier! It‘s actually really good. 3d
Laughterhp Tea cup on cover 3d
PuddleJumper @Laughterhp I got away with some romance books for the covers. Winter's Gifts by Ben Aaronovitch and The Dead of Winter by S.J Parris both have white covers, are winter themed and look short
3d
PuddleJumper @Laughterhp I keep seeing this and it looks interesting 3d
TheAromaofBooks Count me in for next year!! I seem to be missing a book with a playlist, and a character with fringe/bangs (both Morgrem), hospitality setting (which I think I'll hit during all the Christmas Hallmark-y reads haha) and medieval setting (Shelmet). For treasure, I read The Sign of Four (Sherlock Holmes mystery), and for tea cup, I read an edition of Anne of Green Gables that had one on the cover. Arthurian for me was Silver in the Bone. 3d
Faranae Count me in for next year, now that I finally appreciate pokemon. XD 3d
PuddleJumper @TheAromaofBooks The playlist one was so hard! I went with Butcher & Blackbird, my back up choice was Daisy Jones and the Six. 3d
Kenyazero I'm not concerned about finishing, but I still have 9 prompts: character gets cozy; wears impractical clothes; dystopian (a genre I hate but I just realized I have the perfect read); Victorian era; medieval era; cosy mystery; psychic powers; 3rd book in a series; and Arthurian legend. 2d
Zuhkeeyah I'm close to having them all! Only 8 prompts left: prank or bet, longest book, cosy mystery, snowy setting, set in spring, re-read a favorite book, oldest book on TBR, and arthurian legend or characters.

I just submitted my reads from the last couple months. Apologies for the large number of form submissions within the last hour.
2d
kwmg40 I have 6 left. I'm currently working on “longest book“ and “oldest book“. I've got some possibilities for “Arthurian“ and “medieval“ but still trying to come up with ideas for “set in spring“ and “grey cover“. 1d
kwmg40 The playlist prompt was the most challenging so far, but I was pleased to find that someone had created a Spotify playlist for Naomi Novik's Scholomance series. I hope that counts, even if the playlist wasn't created by the author. 1d
PuddleJumper @kwmg40 Yeah, that's fine. It's hard enough! A little wiggle room is useful 1d
PuddleJumper @Faranae 😂 I'll add you to the list 1d
PuddleJumper @Kenyazero The impractical clothing one was really challenging. No one was describing clothes 😂 1d
PuddleJumper @Zuhkeeyah Haha no worries, I only look at it when I need to update the graphics and do the monthly check ins 😅 1d

A low pick. Inspired by Le Fanu's Carmilla, this graphic novel set in 1990's NYC features mysterious deaths, vampires and Chinese folklore. It was a good quick read for Hallowe'en night.

Mehso-so

I had read this many, many years ago and reread it just now. I'm not sure I liked it any better second time around. There were interesting sci-fi ideas but I found the plot dragged with its inconsistent pacing.

kwmg40 @Ruthiella No, I haven‘t yet, but I probably will, at some point. I‘ve heard that the sequels are better than the first book. 4d
Librarybelle Hooray!! 4d
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I‘ve read the second in the series, Startide Rising, and I enjoyed it much more than Sundiver. Although I also enjoyed Sundiver. 😅 Haven‘t read the third yet, but I am eager to get to it. 3d
kwmg40 @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Glad to hear that you liked the sequel. I'll add it to the TBR stack. 1d
