Trapped on Treasure Island | Floyd Gottfredson
post image

Here is your island reading selection, @MatchlessMarie !

I chose Where‘d You Go Bernadette because I really enjoyed that book, and Queer Little Nightmares because April is National Poetry Month (USA). I chose the other three because they all sounded good, and I‘m looking forward to hearing how you like them. Happy Reading!

#TrappedOnAnIsland Thanks for hosting, @aperfectmjk !

MatchlessMarie Thanks! I actually happened to start Autoboyography last night 🙌 12mo
julieclair @MatchlessMarie perfect timing! 😀 12mo

Sorry for the delay. I was finally able to get logged into Litsy on my desktop.

Please make sure that you get your picks posted as soon as you can. Because of my personal issues and technical difficulties, I've already caused a delay and I want people to be able to plan their reading as quickly as possible. I'm sorry everyone. Thanks for your support, it means the world.

Bear with me while I get our matches posted.

Last call for #Trappedonanisland. Matches will be sent later today. Sorry for my absent lately on Litsy. I'm really having a difficult time at work and it's consuming a lot of my energy, it's spilling into my personal life. Pray for me everyone, something has to change.

PuddleJumper You're doing great, really appreciate you doing the challenge. Give yourself a break and let us know if we can do anything to help or if you need a break 12mo
Read4life Sorry things are so rough right now. Please let me know if I can help in any way with this. We appreciate you organizing this fun challenge. 12mo
MatchlessMarie So sorry to hear about your work struggles. I work in HR myself. I really hope things improve 🤗 🧡 12mo

Clwojick I‘ve been there, and it sucks. Hopefully it gets better for you soon, and you can get back to reading, and what you love.❤️ Message me if you need help with anything on Litsy. I‘m happy to help. ❤️ 12mo
julieclair Sure do hope things improve for you at work. Stress and long hours are so dispiriting. Thank you for taking the time to keep this challenge going. It is so much fun. But please let us know how we can help if you feel ready for a break. 💙📚💙 12mo
aperfectmjk Sorry everyone... I've been trying to get matches sent out, but I can't get signed into Litsy on my desktop. For some reason it can't connect to the Facebook app and that's how I sign in. I'll check again in the morning. 12mo
TheAromaofBooks No worries!! If you need to take a month or two off from assigning this challenge, do so!! Sometimes you just have to cut back on extracurricular stuff while life gets sorted!! 12mo

#Trappedonanisland starts April 1st... no joke! We're hoping you'll join us. Got a huge TBR pile and not sure what to read? Let someone help you decide!

- Those who would want to participate will create a shelf on their Goodreads called "trapped on an island".
- You will then add books to this shelf that have been on your TBR the longest that you want to tackle. The more books on your shelf the better.
⬇️

aperfectmjk - Each month at the start of the month you will be assigned a match.
- You will pick 5 or 10 books for your match from their "trapped on an island" shelf.
- You will create a post that showcases the 5 or 10 books you selected for your match and tag your match. Please keep in mind these selections need to be made quickly to give your match time to get their reading in.⬇️
12mo
aperfectmjk - You must read at least one book chosen for you. It's up to you if you choose to read more. The idea is that you're stuck on an island and these 5 books are your only options for reading.

If you want to participate, start working on your goodreads shelf now. Post a link to your shelf in the comments below.

MatchlessMarie Glad I caught this post— the last few months it keeps slipping my mind till it‘s too late. Happy to join again. 5 for me please!
ETA I renamed my shelf and the previous link doesn‘t work anymore so I updated it here https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/9622268?shelf=trapped-on-an-island-april-2...

@julieclair you‘re #TrappedonanIsland. Thankfully, there‘s a chest of books on the island, too.
I hope you enjoy the selection. I‘ve only read Winter Garden but I loved it. 🤓 Happy reading!

Thank you for organizing this Malina!

julieclair @Read4life Ooohhh…. Love these selections! Thank you so much! 👍💙📚🌴🏝️📚 13mo

Matches are in!

I am going to try and start posting the monthly reminder during the middle of the month going forward. I have a calendar reminder set for the 15th of the month so that we have plenty of time to plan going forward. We're also going to need some new recruits to keep it fun so we don't end up picking from the same lists every month. My fault entirely for the lack of exposure.

Bear with me while I get everyone's matches posted.

Sorry for the late notice everyone. I got a promotion at work and while it's been good, it's been crazy. My brain is clearly overloaded.

#TrappedOnAnIsland #February #readathon Here‘s my five picks @TheAromaofBooks plus a bonus book(I couldn‘t resist the title, I‘ve been known as Lizzy my whole life!) There‘s romance, but there‘s also some suspense thrown in. The Lost Man is one of Jane Harpers best novels & I loved Shelter In Place. Enjoy!😘♥️♥️

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! Thank you so much for the picks!! These have all been languishing on my shelves for a hot minute! 😂 14mo
