Finished Darling Girl by Liz Michalski. It‘s a reimagining of what happened long after Wendy came back from Neverland. Peter is not a good guy - evil really. Why? There were lots of twists and interesting things that happened, but it was a little dark. Characters were rearranged. But I‘m still glad I read it. #92 #BookSpin #BFC22 #ReadMyRoom #OUBC #Pantone22 #NotSoScaryAthon #Autumnbingo2022 #FallReadathon #LitsyLoveReads

Here‘s the poster for this week‘s #20in4 Readathon, a week delayed due to a full on month with the Queen‘s death and funeral.

Hope everyone will join this fun and informal Readathon, and now it goes into October it will even help those doing #Scarathlon2022 to earn more points.

Aim to read twenty hours or twenty chapters, or feel free to set your own goals. Anything goes.

Just post your goals and books if you know them to sign up.

MaGoose I finished The League of Frightened Men by Rex Stout last night. Meh, somewhat bloated and wordy. But less so than Fer-de-Lance by Stout, which I read immediately prior to the League book. I'm now about halfway through Murder on Black Swan Lane by Andrea Penrose. So far, pretty good. It's holding my interest. @Andrew65 1y

First book from my TBR pile for the #notsoscaryathon is The Dead Romantics! I'm only 3 chapters in and already I can tell that I'm going to LOVE this book.

TLuvs OMG, one of my rare 5 Stars 🌟 is going to this magnificent book! I absolutely loved everything about it. 1y

Started the tagged book for the #NotSoScaryAthon by @TheBrightSideGirl . It‘s a reimagining of Peter Pan and one of my Once Upon A Book Club selections. So glad to be getting to one of those! I have 3 more in my stack and undoubtably one on the way. Maybe if I sprinkle my pixie dust all will be well! 🧚📚😊 The other books are my TBR for this Readathon.

TheAromaofBooks I've been meaning to reread my Nancy Drew collection!! 2y

Here are the books I‘m choosing from to read for #Scarathlon2022 . I am also participating in the #NotSoScaryAthon from 26Sep - 9Oct so some may get read before October 1st. I usually read about 11 books per month, but the past two months have been slow for me. Hopefully #Scarathlon2022 will help me get out of my slump. Happy Reading everyone - especially #TeamSlaughter !! 🎃👻📚💀

Obviously I spent a good portion of my day off rereading the fuzziest, most autumnal love story I know. This book feels like being hugged and I hope I reread it every Halloween until my copy falls apart! I‘ve never tried any of the American (I assume?) snacks they keep talking about but I really want to now!

#scarathlon #teamslaughter @Clwojick +26 Halloween book

Emilymdxn I‘m counting this for #screamathon #bfc #spookoween #panspookathon graphic novel #wickedathon #spookysapphics Halloween term in title #halloweenathon autumnal not spooky vibes #notsoscaryathon and #octoberreads lgbtq+ character. Wow that‘s a lot! Am I doing too many readathons?? (edited) 2y
WorldsOkayestStepMom What kind of snacks do they talk about? 2y
Emilymdxn @WorldsOkayestStepMom there‘s succotash, a whole bunch of types of pie which I‘m sure exist in the uk but sweet pies aren‘t a super widespread or common thing here, apples dipped in all kinds of things, frito pie and smores. I‘m probably forgetting some there‘s a lot of snack content in this book! 2y

WorldsOkayestStepMom I love snacks. I may have to find a copy of this book! 2y
Emilymdxn @WorldsOkayestStepMom I really recommend it! The story is very sweet and good-natured and it has lovely autumnal energy, it makes me feel hungry and like I want to arrange a thousand wholesome Halloween activities! 2y
charl08 I loved this one. You remind me I would like my own copy! 2y
marleed I love your review. Having experienced American autumn adventures for many, many a year I didn‘t even think about the food references that would sound unique to other parts of the world. American do love their autumnal foods! Do you have foods specific to autumn? 2y
Emilymdxn @marleed I don‘t think britain goes very hard on autumn things in the same way America does, which is something I‘d change if I could! Apple crumble I suppose, and other fruit crumbles, and I guess general cold weather foods but they‘re more wintry and Christmassy. Mulled wine is a big deal, and hot toffee and chocolate puddings with cream 2y
rachelbuckley I felt the same way about this one! Pumpkinheads is such a comfort read 💕 2y
Clwojick I really need to get my own copy of this! I love it so much! 2y

Every so often I come across a King that just doesn't do it for me. This was one of those. I might have enjoyed it more with a different narrator.

Just finished listening to this book for three hours today. There was a lot of talking and planning and fighting creepy, crawly monsters with a very tiny bit of romance thrown in. The end could be taken two ways - interesting. #120 #BookSpinBingo #6 #BFC21 #BOOKED2021 #SERIES2021 #Buzzwordathon #FallIntoReading #NotSoScaryathon #Scarathon2021 #Screamathon #Frightfall #Spookoween #LittenListen #OctoberReadathon #Spooktober #Wickedathon
