Welcome to Litsy!

National Poetry Month is April in the USA and October in the UK

I wanted to do an extra poetry focused thing for #QueerBC. I could do 2 but I'm also concerned that October often has #Scarathlon and other reading challenges. It could be a bit much!

So, April, October, or both?

I‘ve gotten a lot of points this week just from doing the #wordsearch for #hauntedshelf, counting the 1 hour of reading for the #noplacelikeholmes readalong and counting the spooky or autumn reads. It‘s a lot to track and keep up with and I‘m also reading Netgalley ARCs. During #scarathlon last year, using the Autofill feature saved me a lot of time when I was filling in my spreadsheet all month so I‘m definitely using Autofill again.

I don‘t know how it is that I‘ve never read this before, but it was so good! Not scary, but definitely creepy.

I‘m participating in #spookoween hosted by @TheSpineView and the #hauntedshelf hosted by @PuddleJumper this month. I‘m on team #skeletoncrew. I have 67 Netgalley ARCs to read and I‘ll try to read as many of those as I can and try to earn points for my team by doing the word search like I did during #scarathlon. I‘m participating in the #noplacelikeholmes readalong and the #whimsicalreadsbookclub so I have a lot going on this month with reading.

Hi, I didn't see an answer to this question on the FAQ page:
Can a book count for multiple spots on the same BINGO card? For example, if I read a book and on the AFTER DARK card it has magic, a monster, a summoning, and includes fate, can I mark four spots with that one book? We could do that on #Scarathlon, but I'm just double-checking for this year. Thanks. 🎃

My #Recommendation for #HauntedShelf is Slewfoot. I read it last year for #Scarathlon & really enjoyed the dark tale of Abitha, who is fighting against the puritanical community she married into when she meets Samon/Slewfoot the newly awakened devil. Very atmospheric & perfect for the spooky season. 🍁🪄🌘

By October, I‘m usually looking for new challenges or events to liven up my reading game. This year, in the absence of #scarathlon (enjoy your family time ladies!) I‘m going to try #HauntedShelf with @PuddleJumper It seems very similar, which promises fun, and I just might get some books off my TBR shelf in the process!! Sign ups are open: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe7g2cbAys_w6B9G5HHloV6kRr1yQvXVOptseGn...

This was one of my favourite reads last year during #Scarathlon which is why I‘m recommending it for #HauntedShelf

It‘s a great slow build haunting book with secrets being revealed and a relationship developing between the main characters

It‘s Friday the 13th y‘all 🔪

Is it time for #Scarathlon and Creepy Readathons? Can I eat chocolate eyeballs and stare at people who cut me off in traffic like a zombie? 🧟‍♀️ I need to find some dogs to put in costumes.
