Published in 2008, the info is so outdated that there is no mention of iPhones. However, it was interesting to skim through as a hindsight read.

7/80

Enough with nonsense word salad. Be gone! 😂

The title is the only good part of this book.

Pickpick

This well-researched, nonfiction account of Alex Murdaugh‘s trial was riveting. The author chronicled the history of the Murdaugh family dynasty in the South Carolina Lowcountry - generations of power and privilege. Lots to discuss and think about here, besides the obvious issues raised by the trial itself.

Repost for @julieclair

Hello #MonthlyNonfiction2025 friends! Both @willaful and @TheAromaofBooks suggested that since there are 11 Dewey classifications, it might be fun to read one classification per month.

If anyone would like to do that, I have updated the StoryGraph challenge to include the Dewey classifications as Bonus prompts.

So you can track your monthly reading in the regular monthly prompts (#1-12) and your Dewey reading...

julieclair Thanks for sharing! 4w

Last year my goal was to read at least two nonfiction books each month. I almost managed it, with just two months being a book or two short. This year I'd like to try again and this #MonthlyNonfiction2025 challenge sounds perfect to keep me on track! I'm interested in paying more attention to which section each book falls into, even if I don't hit them all.
Thanks @julieclair for putting this together!

julieclair I‘m impressed with your record from last year! And so happy that this challenge will be useful to you this year. Glad to have you with us! 😃 4w

Hello #MonthlyNonfiction2025 friends! Both @willaful and @TheAromaofBooks suggested that since there are 11 Dewey classifications, it might be fun to read one classification per month.

If anyone would like to do that, I have updated the StoryGraph challenge to include the Dewey classifications as Bonus prompts.

So you can track your monthly reading in the regular monthly prompts (#1-12) and your Dewey reading in Bonus prompts #13-23. ⬇️

julieclair Prompts #24-25 are labeled “Extra” for folks to use as suits their needs. It is possible to add a book to more than one prompt within the StoryGraph challenge. For example, I have added the book I‘m reading this month (Wintering, by Katherine May) to Prompt #1 -January AND Prompt #21 - Dewey 800-899. (edited) 4w
julieclair The use of the bonus Dewey prompts is totally optional. 😃 (For that matter, the use of the whole SG challenge is totally optional! 😉) Questions? Please ask. And as always, all are welcome to join! 4w

Help a Litten out! I'm wanting to get back into reading challenges this year but I'm having a hard time figuring out what Litsy is hosting these days. It looks like a few I used to do aren't active anymore. Are there any I should know about? (I'm planning to do #bookspin with @TheAromaofBooks and #agathachristieclubR3 with @Librarybelle, of course!)

Picture of my dog's dumb teeth for tax!

TheAromaofBooks I'm participating in - #Pantone2025 and #FourFoursin25 with @lauredhel
- #WickedWords with @AsYouWish
- #Roll100 and #GottaCatchEmAll with @PuddleJumper
- #FictionalTraveler and #ReadorDonate with @julieclair
and my own other challenges, #ISpyBingo and #BookChain

Have you checked @LitsyEvents ? That account does a great job reposting all kinds of shenanigans!!

Ruthiella You can follow @LitsyEvents for reposts of all the challenges, etc. Good luck! 😃 1mo
AmyG There is #authoramonth @soubhiville where one reads 1+ books from that specific author for the month. #TBRTarot is where a card is chosen and you pick a corresponding book. #readyourkindle is like Bookspin but just for ereaders. Last two are with @Cbee (edited) 1mo

MatchlessMarie When I have been away from Litsyland for a while I like to check out the @LitsyEvents page for most current things. But this is a great time of year to get back into them. It‘s hard to miss challenges since we are all abuzz with New Year wishful thinking 😂 1mo
TheAromaofBooks @Librarybelle - I will be so excited to tackle another long-term project!! I actually think I'm going to complete #192025 which is pretty thrilling! 1mo
Librarybelle That‘s so cool, @TheAromaofBooks ! I still have a bit to go but need to tally up my readings from the last half of 2024. I love the long term challenges! 1mo
