I made a challenge for #2026. #scavenger2026

Are you looking to broaden your book selections? Select books based on the cover or the title, depending on the prompt. There are 50 prompts in total. Alternatively, if some of the prompts are impossible for you to find, you could also look for the actual words in the prompt within the titles. DNFs count as long as you get past 50%!!!

An exciting adventure story shot through with storylines on living with anxiety, living with a parent with depression & anxiety, and overcoming isolation in your community. I LOVED Addy's friendship with Caleb and how it grew over a short period of time. Addy's growing belief in herself to do things that frighten her was such a joy to see.

One of the best books I read in 2025. Orphaned French heiress, guardián loses all her money. Sh it‘s always been great to be female. Epic!

Thanks to @CuriousG for the book and for the chocolate and thanks to @MaleficentBookDragon for hosting/organizing the #jolabokaflodswap once again. Merry Christmas 🎄 🎅🏻🧑🏻‍🎄

I had high hopes for this literary novel of strength, defiance, and a fight for life. While I enjoyed it, I didn‘t love it. The beginning of the book was slow, and it took forever for Marguerite to be abandoned on the island. This story failed to evoke the emotional response I had anticipated. I maintained a neutral stance towards the characters and didn‘t feel a strong connection to them.

I taught middle school from 1994-2005, so my choices skew towards books between the 1970s -1990s). Three favorites that don't incorporate a holiday per se but definitely encompass winter:
•The tagged: DOGSONG: my favorite by Gary Paulsen.
•HATCHET: Also by Gary Paulsen. Love and miss that man.
•JULIE OF THE WOLVES: By Jean Craighead George. We must have a woman hero for “Pete“'s sake! 😀

4.5⭐️ I know that this book is considered to be quite divisive and readers really like it or really don‘t like it, but I really like it. There were lots of things that I liked about and it didn‘t hurt that I learned something about Canadian history that I didn‘t know about until I read this book. #2025 #bookclub #basedonatruestory #historicalfiction

Good old-fashioned adventure in straightforward prose, the 16th century journey to New France (and back!). Loved Marguerite‘s insolence & naïveté, the nature writing, subtle foreshadowing, the feeling of tale telling, the research integrated & not overexpositioned, villain villainous but not overwrought. Lovely pacing. Female devotion, religious or otherwise. 2025
