Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes | Dr. Sunita Sah

Yesterday‘s library #BookHaul
-Rest is Resistance for #SheSaid
-Here One Moment #AuldLangSpine
-White Stallion of Lipizza for #ChildrensClassicRead2025
-Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective for #EBBR
-How to Summon a Fairy Godmother for a #Roll100 prompt (maybe)
I grabbed the tagged book from an #ARC stack as it seems timely.😵‍💫

The book🐔🐔are pleased except that my library didn‘t have the next Nancy Drew for #NancyDrewBR & we‘re all annoyed.😉

DebinHawaii @Librarybelle I just have to get it transferred from another branch & that takes longer. It‘s just weird that they don‘t have all of them in a branch but I guess they go missing & they don‘t replace them or something. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4d

Librarybelle That could very well be…when I worked in public libraries, that would be the reason. At least you can get it! 3d

mom2bugnbee Those chickens! ♥️ 3d

Sace @DebinHawaii I have the same issue with The No 1 Ladies Detective series. All the books in the series are scattered among different branches. 10h

AllDebooks It was a tough choice, so many great books 📚 4d

willaful Remove me please, I'm just overloaded right now! 4d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @wanderinglynn @willaful I will, and I understand. Serious nonfiction reading can feel like a job right now, I‘m trying to balance with a LOT of fiction & fantasy! 4d

AllDebooks @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Thank you for your hatd work and organising a great list. Looking forward to #SheSaid2025 4d

staci.reads I'm excited for a lot of these! Thanks for organizing! 4d

mhillis Thanks for organizing! I‘ll join when my library hold align lol 4d

BarbaraTheBibliophage Hello @Riveted_Reader_Melissa - lovely to see that #shesaid is still thriving. I‘ve read several of these choices and they‘re all excellent!! May dip my toes in discussions. 💕 (edited) 4d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @staci.reads @mhillis You‘re welcome 4d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage how are you? Please do! 4d

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m doing okay—missed this group and trying to step away from Meta. My reading has been very “choose by mood” for the last year or so. Not much nonfiction comparatively. And lots via audio as it feels “easier.” (edited) 4d

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Hope you are doing okay also!! 4d

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!! 4w

Ruthiella You can follow @LitsyEvents for reposts of all the challenges, etc. Good luck! 😃 4w

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) 4w
