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?

And here's my November roundup for #WickedWords @AsYouWish
Every one is a graphic story this month! Gay time travel romance, Ohio cult horror, a graphic memoir by a Wuhanese-American, true crime nonfiction, and a charming spooky graphic novel with a Ghibli vibe.
so-soThis didn't quite know if it wanted to be porn, a sweeping time travel story, or both, but either way it was a little too hot-mess-y for me. Not terrible, not great.
It did finish off #WickedWords for November, though! #turkey @AsYouWish
I placed a hold for this graphic novel long before I knew “Midwest“ was gonna be a #WickedWords prompt, and up my hold just came! I'm only a bit into it, but so far it seems to be a stifling serial-killer horror GN set in a twentieth-century Ohio town in the grip of a cult.

#WickedWords #1970s October word 5/5
This one eluded me in October and then I found it in both of the books I was reading yesterday. 👀📚
pickMullaby is a town with secrets and regrets. It pushes people away and pulls them back. When Dulcie's daughter Emily arrives in Mullaby looking to understand where she came from, she tries to piece together the mysteries of the town.
Sarah Addison Allen is one of my favorite authors!

pickI grew up in the 90s grunge era when this was set, so I couldn't wait to read this book. Five years ago, Elijah, the lead vocalist of the Lightning Bottles, drowned. He was the much loved member of the band, unlike his wife and partner Jane, who was also the last person to see him. There was a lot of mystery surrounding his death, and in Germany, a fan named Hen thinks she has found the ultimate clue 🖤

pickThese are the first two books in the Harper Connolly series. I love this series. Harper was struck by lightning when she was a teenage, and now she can see dead people. So now her and her stepbrother travel the country trying to solve murders.

pickFinally, the Jedi have found a way into the inclusion zone and helped temporarily free Naboo. Jedis Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann redefine some Jedi principles and have a rather spicy scene. And in the end Marchion Ro comes up with some new evil for the galaxy 💙
