Hey everyone! We‘re happy to announce we have some changes for next years #BacklistReadathon challenge ☺️ Take your time to see what option works best for you, and be sure to tag us in your 2024 planning!

GHABI4ROSES OOOH! What is Backlist? More opportunities for nerding?! @DieAReader @Andrew65 1d

ChaoticMissAdventures @GHABI4ROSES blacklist are books by authors that have been out for awhile (usually anything more that a year or two old). It is a publishing term where they move the authors order work to the "back" and their new stuff to the marketing "front" 24h
TheBookHippie Let the planning begin 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 23h
TheAromaofBooks Woot woot!!! 23h
Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES Looks another great challenge to get those reading lists down. Think I‘d go with option two as allows more variability and can still focus on an author a month with that option should we want to at any time. @DieAReader (edited) 22h
DieAReader @Andrew65 I agree! Count me in @Clwojick 🤓❤️‍🔥 Another perfect excuse to read @GHABI4ROSES 😉📚 20h
Read4life I‘m going to incorporate this with #Roll100 & #SeriesLove2024 💙💙 15h
Clwojick @Read4life ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 11h

The Wicked City | Beatriz Williams
post image

Beatriz Williams was my choice this month for the #BacklistReadathon

I wanted more of the 1998 story and less of the prohibition story on this one, but it was still enjoyable. I‘ll probably read the sequel at some point.

TheBookgeekFrau If you read the next two books, you'll find the prohibition story figures heavily into the 'modern' story. I loved all three Wicked books!! 💞 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 2mo
Bookwormjillk @TheBookgeekFrau good to know thank you! 2mo

In this 12th book from the excellent Hugo-nominated October Daye series, Toby is again searching for a missing child, but this time, it's her own. I started this book during the last #BacklistReadathon but just finished it now.

My Losing Season | Pat Conroy
post image
Mehso-so

I love Pat Conroy and his ability to tell a story, but even he can‘t get me to love a basketball memoir. Sorry Pat, it‘s me not you.

This was my #backlistreadathon title from August. Next time I‘ll stick to his novels.

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 3mo

#Bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

I have a lot of free range through library holds and arcs.
Most of the chosen books are #buddyreads for #NaturaLitsy #Rereadtheclassics #Pemberlittens #Bookedintime (the tagged) and the Margaret Atwood for #Backlistreadathon

The last 3 are from my poetry tbr list.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 3mo

Fishies up the last five books in this series for this months #BackListReadathon. The first 3 were fun and simple, but by the last 3 things were getting boring and repetitive. All in all, happy to get them read, and off my phone.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 3mo
BethM I feel like I‘ve had several series go that way. 3mo

This was only 184 pages, a good story, but I never realized it was about two gay guys. Some sex scenes were not my cup of tea. Overall, the story was good enough for me to try book 2. This was my pick for #BackListReadathon @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks and #RushAthon @DieAReader @Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES It is alsonpart of a series #SeriesLove23 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

TheSpineView Fantastic!🤩😊👍 3mo

The Sleeping Soldier | Aster Glenn Gray
post image

I suspect Aster Glenn Gray must be independently wealthy, since she spends so much time on research and virtually none on trying to get people to actually buy her books. 😂 But she has a bunch of loyal fans and deservedly so. This fairy tale retelling/friendship story/college story/young adult historical romance/time travel tale weaves disparate threads in in an immersive, quietly moving, and astonishingly insightful way.
