PuddleJumper

Peerless (Novel) Vol. 1 | Meng Xi Shi

pick

A political drama set during the Sui dynasty with a slow burn romance featuring espionage, hate flirting, and political machinations.

It is slow to start and there is a lot of information which can be difficult. I read up a bit because I was getting lost with what kingdom was where and why they didn't like or did like the Sui dynasty (this helped a lot).

⬇️

PuddleJumper Romance is not a big element. The focus was on solving a murder, the interplay between the different bureaus and then the political machinations.

I really liked the two main characters. They were both assholes and I'm glad they found each other so they won't subject themselves on anyone else.

Guardian: Zhen Hun (Novel) Vol. 1 | Priest

pick

I really enjoyed the first volume. I've wanted to read this for ages after watching bits and pieces of the show. It is very different from the show and I think much better.

Guo Changcheng was definitely my favourite. I related to him so much.

There was mystery, mythology, pining, and longing looks, all the good stuff.

I do hope the secondary characters get some development. It was great to see more of Wang Zheng and her past. Love to see more of the others. 8mo

The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong (Novel) Vol. 1 | Mo Xiang Tong Xiu

pick

I really enjoyed this. This was my first official Danmei novel and I'm glad I started with this. It was very light and humorous, made fun of and then subverted common tropes, and was a fun read.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 9mo

The Ultimate Reading Challenge: Complete a Goal, Open an Envelope, and Reveal Your Bookish Prize! | Weldon Owen

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!! 9mo

Ruthiella You can follow @LitsyEvents for reposts of all the challenges, etc. Good luck! 😃 9mo

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) 9mo

Reading Challenge | Lesley Yates

I've signed up for three 2025 #readingchallenges already, and it's not even December! #WickedWords is a given of course if it's running, #ISpyBingo I very much enjoy, and I like the look of the prompts for #booklistqueenchallenge25 too. And I'll be running Four Fours again, hashtagged #fourfoursin25 this time.

What are you thinking of signing up for? Or running?

OriginalCyn620 I totally dropped the ball with this year‘s Pantone challenge, but if it comes back for 2025, I will do better! 🤪 10mo

PuddleJumper I completely forgot about the Pantone challenge. #Roll100 #GottaCatchemAll #QueerBC will continue in 2025. I've also got a prompt maze #FrozenSick which is a whenever thing and #ReadYourDamnDanmei I think that's all 10mo

Lauredhel @OriginalCyn620 I've just starting yoinking colours for a #pantone2025 colour chart, so if no one else steps up to do it, it will still be happening! 10mo

Lauredhel @PuddleJumper OMG so many to explore! 10mo

Jas16 I think that 2025 is going to be a challenge free year for me. 10mo

Lauredhel @Jas16 enjoy your reading! 10mo

AmyG I am only doing a challenge that requires books I own. It‘s out of control over here. 🤣 So….Bookspin, Author-a-Month if I have the author, TBR Tarot. My only exception to my rule is the Sunday Buddy Read. 10mo

Enchanted_Bibliophile Another one on my 2025 list 🤩 10mo

Born.A.Reader @AmyG that's the one I need to do. My owned TBR is soo out of control 😅 10mo

thebacklistbook I'm doing a few challenges. For next year I'm still plugging away at read the world, the owls, #fictionaltraveler , and #tbronly2025, I am still deciding about #frozensick . I am of course running my #yuletidereads starting December 21. 10mo

willaful Definitely doing BookSpin , QueerBC, and adding Roll100 this year. I love Four Fours! Will continue #BacklistReadathon and #TBRTarot if they're on. And finishing up #192025!

@Jas16 Do what makes you happy! 10mo

willaful Oh, I forgot @Faranae's #URC. 10mo

Faranae @willaful 😭How could you forget my URC? (😆) 10mo

willaful @Faranae I know! I've got a list a mile long of possible prompts! 10mo

mariaku21 I'm always game to do Pantone reading @Lauredhel amongst any others but I'm not thinking about 2025. I still have books this year 😭🤣 10mo

BookwormAHN I'm not sure how many challenges I'm doing now. I host #StarWarsBuddyRead and I've joined #BookSpin with #ReadOrDonate plus #TBRTarot #LosersClub #AuthorAMonth and a few others however I'd Iike to Pantone again since I usually can match the books I'm already reading and don't usually have to look to hard for them. 10mo

Lauredhel @Enchanted_Bibliophile Cool, I haven't seen many others doing Booklist Queen's challenge on Litsy!

  @TheBacklistBook Just added #FictionalTraveler to my list. The more the merrier, I can always trim later if I'm not managing.

  @willaful #URC I have not heard of before *scuttles off to join* @Faranae   

@mariaku21 @BookwormAHN I'll be organising #Pantone2025 over the next week or so. Stay tuned   10mo

TheAromaofBooks Lots of fun challenges in this thread!! I'm already entangling myself in way too many buddy reads as usual 😂 I'm especially excited about once again trying to read all of Agatha Christie's books in published order, this time lead by @Librarybelle I'm also finishing her #192025 challenge. #ISpyBingo will be back, and I also do my personal challenges of trying to read the USA and read at least one book from every year of the last 100 years. ⬇ 10mo

TheAromaofBooks I'm also joining @julieclair 's challenge for #FictionalTraveler as well as whichever #GottaCatchEmAll region @PuddleJumper chooses - plus #Roll100 !! I'm interested in the Pantone Challenge which I did in 2023 but not last year, so I'll keep my eye out for that one as well!! 10mo

Lauredhel @TheAromaofBooks I'll add you to the pantone tag list 10mo

julieclair @lauredhel I‘ll add you to the #FictionalTraveler tag list! Glad you‘re joining us! 10mo

julieclair I‘m doing too many, but I can‘t resist! Several of the ones already mentioned here, as well as #LiteraryCrew with @Librarybelle , #BookedInTime with @Cuilin , #LittensLoveRomance with @StayCurious , and #RandomClassics with @TheAromaofBooks . 10mo

julieclair I‘ll be hosting #FictionalTraveler , #ThematicCozies (will post about that soon) , and continuing #ReadOrDonate for 2025. 10mo

Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu (Deluxe Hardcover Novel) Vol. 1 | Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, Mo Xiang

This is going to be very niche so I'm not labelling it a challenge, more like a personal goal and if other people want to join in then they can

I keep buying danmei novels and then not reading them. They just look so pretty on my shelf! I'm setting myself the challenge of reading them in 2025 #ReadYourDamnDanmei

I currently have the first volumes of Guardian, Stars of Chaos, Scum Villain, Heaven's Official Blessing, Thousand Autumns and MDZS

Zuhkeeyah HOB is great ❤️ I'm on the last book of Guardian. Also very good. 10mo

PuddleJumper @Zuhkeeyah I really enjoyed the HOB anime and Guardians TV show. Bit worried the books won't be as good 😅 10mo

Zuhkeeyah @PuddleJumper I didn't even realize Guardian was a show. Now I want to hurry up and finish so I can watch it. The HOB books are just as funny as the show. 10mo

PuddleJumper @Zuhkeeyah It is an amazing paranormal/monster of the week type show anyway. It's 'bromance' but not really, there's enough hints that the two main m/m couples are actual couples 10mo
