monalyisha Not putting Mary Roach on my list hurt my heart a little. Glad (and not at all surprised) to see that she‘s being represented without me! 2mo

julesG @RaeLovesToRead It's an interesting topic. 2mo

julesG @random_michelle @monalyisha - I have most of Roach's books, but not read all of them yet. 🙈 2mo

What to Read When: The Books and Stories to Read with Your Child--and All the Best Times to Read Them | Pam Allyn

You know when you're sick and nothing feels like a good read. I have started and stopped 3 books the last few days. 13 books loaded on my Litsy right now. I wanted a cozy read but now I'm not sure.

Suet624 I‘m sorry. It‘s tough when that happens. 2mo

Aimeesue Hope you‘re feeling better soon 2mo

AnnCrystal 💕Rest. May you feel better soon 🙏. Do you have any graphic novels? When I'm under the weather, they're really the only type of story I can focus on. Not sure if it will work for you, just wanted to share. 2mo

dabbe To piggyback on @AnnCrystal ... I usually read my PEANUTS or MUTTS comic books that I have. Hoping you're feeling better soon. 💙🩶💙 2mo

Librarybelle Hope you feel better soon! 2mo

Contract Season | Cait Nary

Sunday reading with snuggly Penny.

I‘m so impressed with Cait Nary‘s range, y‘all. She‘s great at high stress romances (SEASON‘S CHANGE), adorable romcoms (LUCKY BOUNCE), and stuff like this, which slides into that sweet spot where there‘s SOME stress for the characters but it‘s mostly about them, like, finding their way through a scenario they hoped they could avoid but are actually coping with really well. IT‘S SO GOOD. Bring on the back half.

dabbe 🖤🐾🖤 3mo

CarolynM Yeah, she‘s good🙂 3mo

xicanti @CarolynM I‘m excited for whatever she does next. 3mo

My end of the year #Nonfiction2023! Not a complete card, but boy some great books in there!

And I can see I‘m way WAY behind on reviews 😂. New Years Resolution, go back to reviewing right after I finish or I won‘t get back to it. 🤣

Nonfiction Matters: Reading, Writing, and Research in Grades 3-8 | Stephanie Harvey

#Nonfiction2024 is here! And it‘s a big challenge this year.

First, these are not the books you need to read…although if you haven‘t read them, I encourage you to read them.

These are banned books, and they are banned for subject matter they contain that we find objectionable for some reason.

Your challenge is to read a nonfiction book about a similar subject:
Examples below⤵️

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ Harry Potter “promotes witchcraft”… maybe a nonfiction book about witches or Salem, too dark for you…maybe a book about Wiccan beliefs. Or go a different direction, a book with an orphan.
~ Reading about anything helps us understand and understanding & empathy diffuses fear.
⤵️ (edited) 4mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ So take these the way you want…a nonfiction about the core subject, or a tangential connection… not feeling like diving into the tough topics in some books… that‘s ok too….we all need a break from tough topics sometimes too. Maybe instead of diving into topics from Kafka on the Shore, an uplifting book about marine life. A book that includes the Shore, etc 4mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ Maus… you could go into the history it tries to impart, but if that‘s to heavy, maybe a great book about graphic novel writing, or a something about cats and/or mice. 4mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ As always, your choice! Make it fun for you! Be as creative as you want with your choices…..And tag us as you go! (We all need more suggestions) (edited) 4mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa #Nonfiction2024Template 4mo

ChaoticMissAdventures This is a fabulous idea!! I didn't read as much nonfiction as I wanted in 2023 so I need this! 4mo

youneverarrived Amazing idea! 🖤 Looking forward to joining in! 4mo

Deblovestoread Challenge accepted! Love this! ❤️💚❤️ 4mo

AnneCecilie Love this idea. I see several books I haven‘t read and want to read, so I might take this challenge literal. 4mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @AnneCecilie I‘m the same…for some I‘ll probably read the banned book and then a nonfiction book. And as few are non-fiction books, so they could count as themselves too. 😉 4mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @ChaoticMissAdventures @AnnCecilie @youneverarrived and @Deblovestoread Welcome! I try to come up with a theme and board each year. You can just go for bingo or we have a few over-achievers that go for coverall. It‘s all up to what works best for you. Enjoy and have fun with your choices! 4mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa #LitsyHappenings @LitsyHappenings #NonfictionMatters (edited) 4mo

Larkken Interesting! Saving to look into later. Thank you ☺️ 4mo

Singout Thank you! This looks like a really cool structure. And it‘s year five for me! 4mo

peanutnine Wow I love this concept! Excited to take part again in 2024! I read much more nonfiction this year and I'd like to continue. Thanks for putting this together ☺️ 4mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Singout & @peanutnine You‘re welcome! This year‘s theme came to me much easier than some years….but then again, it has been a year with a lot of new book banning. 🫤 (edited) 4mo

Amiable Oh, how I love this nonfiction bingo challenge! My brain is already in overdrive trying to think of matches. Thanks! 4mo

Zuhkeeyah I love this year‘s theme! 4mo

Zuhkeeyah Should I make a Storygraph challenge for this year‘s prompts? (It was helpful for me when tracking progress on this year‘s caustic theme.) 4mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Zuhkeeyah if you want to, you definitely can! I am not on Storygraph, but anywhere you want to share it is fine with me. 4mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Maybe I should check out Storygraph 4mo

willaful Great concept! I've was just thinking today that I really should listen to the audiobook of Born a Crime, so I'll probably do that one literally. 4mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @willaful That‘s fine too, a few are nonfiction so totally works. And that‘s a really good one. 4mo

willaful @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I read it in print and enjoyed it very much, and then my daughter's high school class listened to the audiobook and it sounded like so much fun, I've been meaning to do it. (I love that for today's kids!) 4mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @willaful He reads it himself, and being a comedian… he can make even tense things funny when he tells them. 4mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @willaful Not all books are good as audiobooks, but some like that one are even better because of the Narration. 4mo

Liz_M @LitsyEvents 4mo

kspenmoll Wow. I am proud that I have read all but 3 on the bingo board. It‘s hard to fathom these books are banned in places. Especially Florida… 4mo

CatLass007 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Will you please add me to your tag list? Is there a tag list? 3mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @CatLass007 I do not have a tag list, sorry. I just tag the #Nonfiction2024 and then anyone can search by it. 3mo

CatLass007 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Okay. Thanks. I thought that might be the case. It‘s very sad and more than a little bit scary that the number of banned books is even higher than the books on your Bingo card. 3mo

CatLass007 I‘ve had Born A Crime in my Audible library since not long after it was released. Sometimes I need a little extra incentive to listen to any given book. 3mo

CatLass007 You indicated in your post that there were examples of pairings, but I can‘t find the examples. 3mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @CatLass007 if you open the comments, they were like the first couple comments under the post 3mo

CatLass007 Thank you. For some reason I wasn‘t able to find them before and it took me a minute just now. 3mo

CatLass007 I feel like I‘m being a nuisance but I‘ve never done this challenge before. Or any challenge for that matter. I understand the challenge and I‘m very excited about it. But I have no idea how to put a picture of a book I‘ve read on the Bingo card. Make sense? Do you use an app like PicCollage? If that‘s the particular app I need to use, I‘m screwed, because I don‘t find it intuitive at all. Any advice you can provide would be appreciated. (cont)⬇️ 3mo

CatLass007 I hate to be one of those people who needs handholding to perform a task that others find as easy as pie. 3mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @CatLass007 You are fine! First rule, there are no bad questions! If we don‘t ask, we can‘t learn anything new. I take a screenshot of the book cover, usually on Goodreads, crop it as a photo so it‘s just the cover, then use a free app called GoDaddy Studio (formerly Over), that just lets me layer 1 picture overtop the other. I‘m sure there are many others that do the same. 3mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @CatLass007 and it‘s only easy as pie once you played with it once or twice. 3mo

CatLass007 Thank you. I appreciate your information and encouragement. 3mo
