Basic bland contemporary romance. There was no tension and all the characters were wholesome and almost perfect.

If that's what you're into then this was an easy trope filled holiday book. I was bored out of my mind.

willaful I gave up reading her, her style just never interests me. 2d

PuddleJumper @willaful I was intrigued by a series of Christmas romances set in a Christmas themed town. Not sure I'll try any of the others. I found this one very hard to get through 2d
Andrew65 Hope you manage to find some better reads. 2d
BookmarkTavern That‘s disappointing. It‘s a fun cover. On to better books! 2d

One month left! How are we all doing?

Next year's challenge is all ready and I'll be posting more information about that in December. The challenge is going to Alola, with many new Pokemon to catch

#GottaCatchemAll

bookwyrm7 Someone mentioned pokemon. I've been summoned. What's going on? What challenge is this and how do I join? 5d
SunnieK Can‘t wait, I‘m catching my final ones for this year right now 5d

Kenyazero I'm not likely to catch them all because I'm down to the prompts that don't usually find their way into my hands (and I don't feel like reading anything just for the prompt 🤭), but I caught quite a few! Looks like I've caught 22. 5d
Kenyazero @bookwyrm7 you're going to love it! 5d
Zuhkeeyah I only have a couple prompts left! At this point I'm determined to catch 'em all 5d
Zuhkeeyah Thank you for making this year's challenge in Storygraph. If you do so for next year, can you please not make them bonus prompts? 5d
Jari-chan This was one of my favourite challenges - great that it'll be continued 💖 5d
PuddleJumper @bookwyrm7 #GottaCatchemAll is a year long challenge where you read prompts to catch Pokemon. There will be a new one starting in 2025. There is also a mini December one, details here https://www.litsy.com/web/post/2802561 5d
PuddleJumper @SunnieK ❄️🎄❄️ 5d
PuddleJumper @Kenyazero 🤣 Fair enough! That's still a great number caught! 5d
PuddleJumper @Zuhkeeyah Yep, I listened to the feedback! Next year's will be normal prompts 5d
PuddleJumper @Jari-chan ❤️❤️ 5d
bookwyrm7 @PuddleJumper thank you! 5d
bookwyrm7 @Kenyazero oh I'm sure I will, I've been into pokemon since they came out 🤓 5d

TheAromaofBooks I've done much better at reading the prompts than I have at posting them 😂 4d

I finally read this book (and in time for Halloween! I'm just a little behind in reviews). I grew up loving the movie and have been planning to read the book for a while. It was great fun reading lines that are word-for-word in the movie. The movie has slightly better storytelling. Bradbury does an amazing job as the movie's narrator. #Halloween #BookToScreen

Kenyazero Used for #OwlHouseReadathon Caleb: involves a spiriting away; and #GottaCatchEmAll mimiky: reread a favorite book (I counted it since it's a favorite story) @PuddleJumper 5d

I definitely picked this Pride & Prejudice retelling with a trans protagonist up because of a review by @peanutnine . I wasn't sure if I'd like it because I hated Pride & Prejudice, but I loved it. The characters are delightful, and I found the major events of the story satisfying and entertaining. Did I cry during the office scene? A little. #LGBTQIA #Retelling

An adorable novella by an author local to my area. Demi finds themselves in an unusual predicament when a sneeze demon possesses their cat. I definitely enjoyed this read. #ColoradoAuthor #LGBTQIA #Cat

bookwyrm7 Couldn't resist ordering a Kindle version of this book. Your cat is a great sales purrson, I hope they're getting lots of treats as payment! I didn't know this was just the first of a trilogy so your kitty might end up being to blame for me ordering at least a couple more books. They should be given a percentage of sales! 😹 5d
Kenyazero @bookwyrm7 she's happy to do the work if it means promoting small authors! I hope you enjoy/d! (edited) 5d
bookwyrm7 @Kenyazero I've just downloaded it to my Kindle and will read it soon. Giver a good scratch for me as a tip! 😺 5d

I've signed up for three 2025 #readingchallenges already, and it's not even December! #WickedWords is a given of course if it's running, #ISpyBingo I very much enjoy, and I like the look of the prompts for #booklistqueenchallenge25 too. And I'll be running Four Fours again, hashtagged #fourfoursin25 this time.

What are you thinking of signing up for? Or running?

OriginalCyn620 I totally dropped the ball with this year‘s Pantone challenge, but if it comes back for 2025, I will do better! 🤪 2w

PuddleJumper I completely forgot about the Pantone challenge. #Roll100 #GottaCatchemAll #QueerBC will continue in 2025. I've also got a prompt maze #FrozenSick which is a whenever thing and #ReadYourDamnDanmei I think that's all 2w
Lauredhel @OriginalCyn620 I've just starting yoinking colours for a #pantone2025 colour chart, so if no one else steps up to do it, it will still be happening! 2w
Lauredhel @PuddleJumper OMG so many to explore! 2w
Jas16 I think that 2025 is going to be a challenge free year for me. 2w
Lauredhel @Jas16 enjoy your reading! 2w
AmyG I am only doing a challenge that requires books I own. It‘s out of control over here. 🤣 So….Bookspin, Author-a-Month if I have the author, TBR Tarot. My only exception to my rule is the Sunday Buddy Read. 2w
Enchanted_Bibliophile Another one on my 2025 list 🤩 2w
Born.A.Reader @AmyG that's the one I need to do. My owned TBR is soo out of control 😅 2w
thebacklistbook I'm doing a few challenges. For next year I'm still plugging away at read the world, the owls, #fictionaltraveler , and #tbronly2025, I am still deciding about #frozensick . I am of course running my #yuletidereads starting December 21. 2w
willaful Definitely doing BookSpin , QueerBC, and adding Roll100 this year. I love Four Fours! Will continue #BacklistReadathon and #TBRTarot if they're on. And finishing up #192025!

@Jas16 Do what makes you happy!

willaful Oh, I forgot @Faranae's #URC. 2w
Faranae @willaful 😭How could you forget my URC? (😆) 2w
willaful @Faranae I know! I've got a list a mile long of possible prompts! 2w
mariaku21 I'm always game to do Pantone reading @Lauredhel amongst any others but I'm not thinking about 2025. I still have books this year 😭🤣 2w
BookwormAHN I'm not sure how many challenges I'm doing now. I host #StarWarsBuddyRead and I've joined #BookSpin with #ReadOrDonate plus #TBRTarot #LosersClub #AuthorAMonth and a few others however I'd Iike to Pantone again since I usually can match the books I'm already reading and don't usually have to look to hard for them. 2w
Lauredhel @Enchanted_Bibliophile Cool, I haven't seen many others doing Booklist Queen's challenge on Litsy!



@TheBacklistBook Just added #FictionalTraveler to my list. The more the merrier, I can always trim later if I'm not managing.



@willaful #URC I have not heard of before *scuttles off to join* @Faranae 



@mariaku21 @BookwormAHN I'll be organising #Pantone2025 over the next week or so. Stay tuned 

2w
TheAromaofBooks Lots of fun challenges in this thread!! I'm already entangling myself in way too many buddy reads as usual 😂 I'm especially excited about once again trying to read all of Agatha Christie's books in published order, this time lead by @Librarybelle I'm also finishing her #192025 challenge. #ISpyBingo will be back, and I also do my personal challenges of trying to read the USA and read at least one book from every year of the last 100 years. ⬇ 2w
TheAromaofBooks I'm also joining @julieclair 's challenge for #FictionalTraveler as well as whichever #GottaCatchEmAll region @PuddleJumper chooses - plus #Roll100 !! I'm interested in the Pantone Challenge which I did in 2023 but not last year, so I'll keep my eye out for that one as well!! 2w
Lauredhel @TheAromaofBooks I'll add you to the pantone tag list 2w
julieclair @lauredhel I‘ll add you to the #FictionalTraveler tag list! Glad you‘re joining us! 2w
julieclair I‘m doing too many, but I can‘t resist! Several of the ones already mentioned here, as well as #LiteraryCrew with @Librarybelle , #BookedInTime with @Cuilin , #LittensLoveRomance with @StayCurious , and #RandomClassics with @TheAromaofBooks . 2w
julieclair I‘ll be hosting #FictionalTraveler , #ThematicCozies (will post about that soon) , and continuing #ReadOrDonate for 2025. 2w

I started reading this immense tome in January and finally finished it! The first third was a slog and all of it was challenging, but now I'm sad it's over. I'll spend the next month reading articles explaining what I just read and I may even do a reread one day. I think I must be a real glutton for punishment! 😂

This was the obvious choice for the “Grimmsnarl: Read the longest book on your TBR“ prompt. #gottacatchemall @PuddleJumper

Ruthiella My experience with this book was similar … a slog at first but then strangely compulsive… Congratulations! 👏👏👏 2w
sarahbarnes Congrats!! I was similarly very attached to this book by the time I finished it. I really like his writing style and sense of humor. I will say if you‘re looking for more of him at some point, his essays are really good. 😊 2w
