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!! 2d

Ruthiella You can follow @LitsyEvents for reposts of all the challenges, etc. Good luck! 😃 2d

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) 2d

The Wise Woman: A Novel | Philippa Gregory

Starting this book tonight for #BookedInTime . My goal is to get at least half way through by the end of the weekend. Have a couple of appointments for the kids tomorrow and they have swim class Saturday - but other than that it will be a relaxing weekend before the chaos of real life starts again on Monday!

The Tudors: The Complete Story of England's Most Notorious Dynasty | G.J. Meyer

#BookedInTime #BookedInTimeJanuary25 #BookedInTimeTudors

In the wake of the War of the Roses, the House of Tudor succeeded the Plantagenets. They ruled 118 years from Henry VII to Elizabeth I, succeeded by the Stuarts. The most well known Tudor being Henry VIII, with his six wives, and his daughter Elizabeth I, who reigned for 45 years. I‘m reading book 1 of Shardlake series. You? Comment, post or review at the end of the month!

Daisey This is a great series! 5d

Henry VIII: The Heart and the Crown: Tudor Rose Novel 2

Jess861 I've decided on reading a Philippa Gregory book set in this time period. Really not sure if I'll like this author but going to give it a go.

The Wise Woman: A Novel

Cuilin @Amiable yes!!! 5d

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk good luck, just remember we‘re fans of #hailthebail if it isn‘t for you. 🤞you‘ll enjoy it. 5d
