Final score counts are in and you all did amazing!
#Jingleballers had a terrific score of 32, 539 and I couldn't be happier!

I was thrilled to be your team captain and finish the year out with you all. It was an honour 🥰🥰

And an extra shout out to @Clwojick and @StayCurious for organizing this awesome event. Looking forward to the next one....after a bit of a break 😂

#WinterGamesFinalResults

Clwojick No kidding 😂😅 I don‘t know how I managed to do three month Ling events back to back. I‘m going to have to take a break from hosting for a bit after the #Jumpstart2020 Readathon is over. Lol. Hosting is cutting into my reading time 😂 5y
erank58 Had a great time! Wasn't able to participate nearly as much as I hoped (didn't even get to send out my cards 😱), but loved every minute of it. Thanks @FantasyChick for being a great captain 😁 @MoonWitch94 @EadieB @Laura317 @TheDrunkenLibrarian @SmartSassery @wideeyedreader @IndoorDame @SamAnne @laurenslibrary @Book.ish @amcollins @TheBookDream @CSeydel 5y

I'm going to give everyone until the end of the night before I count all the points for the #WinterGames mostly because I'm too lazy to grab my laptop 😂

Back to work tomorrow so I'm going to enjoy my last few hours of freedom with my first book of 2020 😊😊

My last #WinterGames post. I always make my Raspberry Rolls during the holiday, and this year it was for New Years! They came out great! #WinterGames #JingleBallers #SharedHolidayRecipe #AttemptedHolidayRecipe #SharedHolidayTradition 🍓PS: it‘s not originally my recipe, but I adapted it from a blog.

Well #JingleBallers it's over. It's been a great run and I loved having you all on my team. Hopefully you got to crunch that TBR, meet some new friends and have some fun over the #WinterGames 😊

I'll be counting points today and getting everything caught up so please feel free to play those games, questionnaires & scavenger hunts

If you participated in #24B42020 let me know your hours and books completed down below for extra points!

EadieB #24B42020 I read for 75 hours and completed 7 books.

I read 20 books in December which were all on my TBR list.

New to me authors: Katrine Engberg, James Lee Burke, John Hart, Emma Rous, Michael Storrings

Favorite part of Winter Games - Making new friends, Shopping challenge, Movies, games. Everything was great fun.

And I'm finishing off my night.

Damned determined to finish before I turn in for the night. If I don't sleep, it still counts as a 2019 read, right? 😂😂

Dark Matter | Blake Crouch

Pickpick

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch will end up being my last read of 2019. I finished it a few days ago but wanted to let it sit before writing a review. The psychology here was even more interesting than the science (fiction). A series of what would you do ifs. I found the plot in the last section of the book stretched believability but I was still completely captivated. Thank you so much for sending this to me Misty! I‘d been dying to read it for ages!

Hope everyone is having a safe and eventful New Year's. Ours was spent as usual: at home with a couple friends, the kids and some homemade Chinese 🥰 I wouldn't have it any other way.

It's still early but everyone is off to their parties and I'm ready to toss on some comfy pants and finish off my last book of the year.

Happy New Year's everyone 🎊❤🎊

I have been so busy that 5 hours is all I could squeeze in these past few days. This book is killing me—I am abandoning it until next holiday season. It is very dry, monotone and dark. Maybe 11months from now I will feel differently. It has been a fun #WinterGames and I loved being part of the #JingleBallers! Hope everyone had a beautiful holiday season. #24B42020 #HappyNewYear #holidaysareover

Andrew65 Thanks for playing along. Happy New Year. 5y

It's here! The final day of 2019. The #WinterGames have been a blast and I've had a great time with all of you. Before we finish off for the month, let's get another game or two in.

CSeydel I want to read book 2 of two different series (the Dark Tower and the Wheel of Time). I‘m also gunning for a few chunksters: Middlemarch, John Adams, and The Emperor of All Maladies. 5y
