This was just a weird book. The first part was very entertaining, even if it was a little predictable but then it got almost too weird 🐈‍⬛

Hello Friends! What will everyone be reading and/or donating this month?

For those who want to continue, or join us, in chipping away at our overflowing bookshelves, I will be hosting #ReadOrDonate again in 2026. All are welcome! I‘ll also do a StoryGraph Challenge (hopefully soon) for those who like to plan and track.

For November, I‘ll be reading & donating: Joan is Okay.

TheBookHippie I am doing this you‘d think I‘d post!! 🤣 going through the magazines tonight! I just took down all the BOTM I‘ve not read to get through first! So one of those will for sure be November. 3d
BookwormAHN I'm not sure yet but both of my October choices are a donate 😸 3d

willaful I have a couple of books I own on the Ten Before the End, so those will be mine. Come Tell Me How You Live by Christie and The Flame by Leonard Cohen. 2d
PuddleJumper I had a big purge this year. I've still got a few that I want to read before making a decision. All of my Rick Riordan will get read and donated too. I think November will be the Magnus Chase books 2d
julieclair @TheBookHippie Glad you‘re still doing the magazines! Me too. For me, Oct-Nov-Dec are the hardest ones to let go. 2d
julieclair @BarkingMadRead That one looks interesting! 2d
julieclair @willaful Great idea to use 10 Before the End books! 2d
julieclair @PuddleJumper Hooray for a big purge! 👍 2d
TheBookHippie @julieclair oh I do so agree!!! So I cut out what I liked put it in my collage journal and recycled the rest in a gator that‘s fundraising. Just dropped October to them! (edited) 2d

This was a story-within-a-story situation, so between all the characters and the two stories, it was just a lot to keep up with! And I didn‘t really like the ending. I didn‘t love this one but didn‘t hate it either.

The Real Simple pile has shrunk and now fits in an actual magazine holder on the top of my “encyclopedia” bookcase. As a bonus, when I was going through my paperbacks for what to take to New Jersey last month, I decided to offload Bonfire of the Vanities. #monthlymagazineblitz #readordonate

@julieclair Here are my October picks for the reading challenges! 🎃

#readordonate - The Woman in the Library
#fictionaltraveler - Tom Lake (takes place in a cherry orchard and apparently the trees aren‘t only literal but also symbolic)
#thematiccozies - Chapter and Curse

I read ten books in September. My favorites were I Am Ozzy and Enigma 🩵
For #ReadOrDonate I'm still reading The Amalfi Coast but The Bat Eater can go.
@julieclair

julieclair Glad The Bat Eater is getting the old heave-ho, lol! But paradoxically, I‘d like to read the Ozzy book. 🤪😂🦇 (edited) 1mo

willaful My nonfiction choice is I'm Looking Through You: Growing Up Haunted. 1mo
BookmarkTavern Thank you for reminding me! 1mo
julieclair Tagging was troublesome tonight, so if I tagged you twice - or worse, missed tagging you - my apologies! 🤪 1mo
julieclair @BookmarkTavern I almost forgot, myself! September vanished! 1mo
julieclair @willaful Hard to believe that title is nonfiction! I bet it will be a fascinating read. 1mo
JenlovesJT47 Do you also do #allergictochunksters? I‘m so behind on everything but I‘m reading another gigantic Outlander book, 3rd one this year. 🤓 1mo
Bookwormjillk I bought a mystery about some sort of magic cat who solves mysteries in Utah 🤞 1mo
Deblovestoread Hey Julie, you can remove me from the tag list. I haven‘t been able to keep up with most challenges this year. Thank you. 💙 1mo
julieclair @Deblovestoread Of course! I get it. 💙 1mo
julieclair @Bookwormjillk That sounds like a fun one! 🐈‍⬛ 1mo
julieclair @JenlovesJT47 I do! But I don‘t post about it often, because it‘s not a monthly challenge. It‘s just a low key, take as long as you need, type of thing. Congrats on being on your third Outlander this year!! They‘re on my #AllergicToChunksters TBR too. 1mo

Very good but also will make you very angry! Some TWs so be aware. Ali has a crush on a popular soccer player and at a party, something happens. After, her attacker asks his best friend, a popular girl, to “manage” Ali and the situation. 🤬
