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!! 2w

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

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) 2w

Becoming a Matriarch | Helen Knott

pick

I‘m only a month late 😆 but I finally finished this book for #SheSaid - I really enjoyed it. It took awhile for me to get into it but once I got to the halfway mark I finished it in one sitting. I plan on checking out her other memoir, In My Own Moccasins. Thanks for organizing @Riveted_Reader_Melissa !

Riveted_Reader_Melissa You‘re welcome, I‘m glad you enjoyed it 2w

Woman on the Edge of Time | Marge Piercy

pick

This was likely groundbreaking in the 70s when it was first published. I appreciate the look at psychiatric facilities at the time and what it's like to have no control over your own destiny. The utopia in the future was meh imo. The time travel thing has never been my jam. Still giving it a pick.

Becoming a Matriarch | Helen Knott

pick

This powerful book shows three generations of women, Knott being the youngest, who claim space and support those around them while suffering from various kinds of racial, systemic, and personal abuse. Knott is going to find a new way with guidance from her Indigenous teachers and mentors. Throughout various challenges she navigates to a place where she takes joy in those around her, especially the women.

She Said: How Two Reporters Broke the Story that Changed the Rules about Sex and Power | Jodi Kantor

Hello #SheSaid! It‘s no secret that I have gotten behind this month while moving. So we do not have a book selected for January. So January will be our catch-up reading month (I need it to finish December‘s yet), and Voting for the books for 2025. I‘ll take all the nominations so far and get a Voting Poll up for you by the first. Sorry for the delay, and please enjoy your holidays and have a great New Year!

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Singout I‘d say 90% of my physical books are moved now at least 😂. Need to move the rest and other odds and ends. I keep thinking I should slowly just buy more on kindle and not keep the physical ones… but then we get into book banning and who really has control of our digital content…and I think, maybe keep the physical books. 😂 3w

Lizpixie Will there be a Non Fiction Bingo in 2025? 3w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Lizpixie Yes there will, I‘m behind on posting that too though 😂 3w

vlwelser Overall I thought this was an interesting look at female institutionalization. And not having power over your own person. But the time travel/utopia stuff was just sort of meh to me. Though I bet it was scandalous in the 70s. 3w

See All 8 Comments

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m still very early in the book… but it is making me want to read Kindred again 😂 3w

MallenNC I finished! This book was not for me. The present day story was so bleak and unrelenting, and then I wasn‘t sure if the time travel parts were meant to be real or not. Like @vlwelser said, it probably hit readers differently when published. Speculative fiction is not my favorite anyway so others may enjoy it more. 3w

vlwelser Maybe add Kindred to your voting list? I haven't read it. 3w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser it‘s a good time travel, and packs quit a punch. I‘ll add it to the voting. 3w

MallenNC @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Kindred is very good! 3w

MallenNC I‘m not quite caught up but I did find the audiobook and I‘ve made a lot of progress. I‘m not really enjoying it! Everything is pretty bleak with the main character but I‘m hoping I understand what the author was going for when I get to the end. 4w

See All 7 Comments

vlwelser @MallenNC it is pretty bleak. I'm hoping to find out what the author is up to in this last section. 4w

MallenNC @vlwelser I think it feels especially bleak bc I‘m reading it among a bunch of holiday stories! 4w

vlwelser @MallenNC I don't really read holiday stories but it's not doing well against the fairy tales I've been hooked on lately 4w

MallenNC @vlwelser I don‘t typically but I decided to load up on them this year — some of them are mysteries so that balanced things a little 4w
