It's coming up to the end of the year, so I'm being kinder to myself with regards to reading expectations for #bookspinbingo. By which I mean lowering them 🤣🤣. Really trying to knock off some more titles from my #unreadshelf.

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 5mo

This stack is 100% #blameitonlitsy 🤣🤣. I either missed or ignored the email from Barnes and Noble about their 50% off hardcovers sale, but then I saw someone post it on here. In my defense, I sold 10-12 books to Half Price yesterday, so my #unreadshelf is still lower than it was!

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Way to go! Since I moved, we don‘t have a local HPB and I miss it so much ❤️ They were having an in-store 20% off sale too 😭 1y

That's another bingo! The tagged book is FABULOUS, but I'll have to show a picture of my favorite panel in another post.

I'm loving how much of my #unreadshelf is getting ready through the #bookspinbingo. I'm feeling so productive.

Two Thousand Maniacs! | Herschell Gordon Lewis
post image

Hello, and welcome to team #MistletoeManiacs! If you‘ve been tagged in this post, you‘re on my team. For those of you who are new here, my name is Cassandra and I will be your #WinterGames team captain. I am so excited to be reading with you this holiday season. With the #WinterGames fun only a few weeks away, I‘d like to discuss some event details in the comments below. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask down below as well! ☺️🎄

Clwojick 1. Keep your eyes peeled for some upcoming posts! I will be tagging everyone in all sorts of posts regarding the event. We‘ve changed some things up this year, so please ask questions if you need clarification on anything. I understand there is a lot to take in, especially for those of you who haven‘t joined in the games before. Just take it in stride and participate as much or as little as you want to. 2y
Clwojick 2. I cannot STRESS this enough. DO NOT let the event stress you out! Please do not worry about not participating enough or gaining enough points! Sure, it‘s a competition and the points are there to add some added incentive to read, but the holidays are stressful enough as it is. Participate when you can and just have fun with it! There is no judging here, we just want to spread some holiday cheer, and read with our favourite people. 😍 2y
Clwojick 3. We will have two buddy read options. You can choose to read either one, for the 50pt bonus. As with #scarathlon, if you choose read both, only the 1st will gain you the 50pts. The 2nd book will be counted as a holiday read, and will count for 25pt. Those books will be tagged next in the comments. 2y

Clwojick 4. The #TeamMovie this year is How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and will be worth 25 points. All other holiday/winter movies or tv episodes that you watch will be worth 5pts. Holiday podcasts also count for 5pts this year. (edited) 2y
Clwojick 5. I will make another post about it later, but I know you‘ll be asking, so I‘ll confirm it now. Yes, Readathon points will be stackable again. This means for every Readathon event that you are participating in, you can gain 10 points for every hour read. For example, if you are participating in 3 different readathons at the same time, and you read a Xmas book in 6 hours, the point breakdown is as follows ⬇️ 2y
Clwojick Xmas/winter book = 25 points. 6 hours read at 10 points per hour = 60 points. We then multiply (or stack) 60 x 3 as we participated in 3 different reading events. In total, that one book can get you 205 points! ⬇️ (edited) 2y
Clwojick The points can stack up really fast if you‘re willing to take the time to calculate your Readathon points, but again… no pressure! You do what works for you. Some people go HAMM on the readathons, and others only join a couple. 2y
Clwojick 6. As for which reading events qualify for stackable points… we like to leave that to you guys to decide. The readathons do NOT have to be hosted on Litsy. Many of you participate in events hosted on Instagram, Twitter, goodreads, YouTube and reading blogs and that‘s totally fine. Year long reading challenges/events like #popsugar #readharder #pickyourpoison #unreadshelf and #LitsyAtoZ also count. As well as #bookspinbingo and #BFC21 2y
Clwojick I think that‘s all I will put in this post for now, but come back to this comment section if you have any questions, as the event posts come in. ❤️ Welcome again guys, I‘m so happy to have you on my team! 2y

BeeMagical @Clwojick My first ever Winter Games and I can‘t wait!!! Could you explain the stacking a bit more for me🙈 I think I just need a scenario to fully understand😂(when would we have 3 different reading events at the same time) - THANK YOU 2y
kezzlou85 So excited to be on your team again. Looking forward to this so much. Its always fun. 2y
TiminCalifornia Looking forward to my first #WinterGames - Thanks for being the team leader for #MistletoeManiacs! 2y
Clwojick @BeeMagical sometimes the dates of readathons overlap. There are a ton of month long ones that generally happen in December. So if you do #BookSpinBingo that‘s a reading challenge, if you do #BFC21 that counts as well, and then say you join in on one of @Andrew65 monthly 9 day readathons. 2y
Clwojick @BeeMagical So if the book you read is on your #bookspinbingo list, and you read it during the 9 day readathon, that would count for all three, since #BFC and #BookSpinBingo run all month long. Hopefully that makes sense. 2y
Clwojick @BeeMagical here is a list of the December readathons. We will continue to add to it as more pop up, but you can see how many are month long, and how others dates overlap. https://docs.google.com/file/d/1OXwUDgNmBPktCIn6oMPeNSlz7TRMI_G1/edit?usp=docsli... 2y
KristiAhlers Yay! This is my first book game and I‘m super excited! 2y
Andrew65 The 9 day #DashingDecember Pick Your Own Goals Readathon will run from Saturday 11th December - Sunday 19th December. 2y
Andrew65 Then we will have a special end of the year and see in the new year 6 day #20in4 Readathon which will run from Wednesday 29th December - Monday 3rd Jan January. Last 3 days of the old year and first 3 days of the new year. 2y
Andrew65 Also thinking of hosting a month long #ProgressitDecember Readathon where people progress any series or authors they are reading. 2y
freeatlast1137 Yay! I‘m excited! 🎄 2y

keys_on_fire @Clwojick Will do! Thanks, I‘m so excited!! 2y
Clwojick @keys_on_fire ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 2y
keys_on_fire Does trying to finish the BOTM reading challenge count as a readathon? 2y
Clwojick @keys_on_fire reading those books can definitely count towards any Readathon, but if you want to count them as a specific reading challenge you definitely can as well. I‘m sure other people are reading BOTM this December, so you could always host a BOTM readathon too! Whatever floats your boat! 2y
Clwojick @JenlovesJT47 @RedxoHearts Welcome to the team guys! 2y
JenlovesJT47 Thank you!! 🤗 2y
RedxoHearts @Clwojick Yay! Can't wait :) 2y
Clwojick @WeirdAtHeart @MartinaLove Welcome to the team! 2y
Allydanielle88 I'm wondering how to show doing the workout challenges. Do we just make a post saying we did them? 2y
Clwojick Yeah, or you could just add the points to your weekly total. You don‘t have to make a specific post about them. Or since most of the workout challenges are related to movies, you could include the points in any movie posts you make. Some people do one post a week with all the movies they watched that week. Whatever works best for you. @Allydanielle88 2y
Pageturner1 very excited! my first time. get to watch one of my favorite Christmas movies too! 2y
TheBookHippie Yay❄️❄️❄️ 2y
RayHallucinogen @Clwojick Thanks! Let's do this! 2y

#OnNewYearsDay I listened to some more of this audiobook while trying to nap before my overnight shift. Hoping to finish off the last few Christmas audiobooks that I have downloaded on CloudLibrary for #WinterGames2020 before I get started on making my way through my digital and physical #unreadshelf. @Lizpixie

#jumpstart2021

Lizpixie I still have 3 from December‘s Bookspinbingo board to finish💁🏻‍♀️ 3y
Clwojick @Lizpixie I barely read from my BookSpin list at all. December was a serious mood reading month for me 😂 3y

The Deeds of the Disturber | Elizabeth Peters
post image
Pickpick

I love this series! This installment was a little different as the entire story took place in England, not in Egypt. It explored British classes, immigrants, and museum life and lore, while giving lots of classic Peabody-Emerson family look-ins. Interesting mystery with a helpful wrap-up at the end!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m really trying to get back into my #unreadshelf books right now as the libraries are closed and no ebooks I want are available!

CarolynM I love Elizabeth Peters's books❤️❤️❤️ 4y
thea-block @CarolynM Me too! They are so readable yet so clever. 4y

Clearing out a few books on my shelf. I plan to get through these at top speed this Month. #unreadshelf #books #movieadaptation #graphicnovels

Clwojick Dark places looks good! I‘ve been on the lookout for it. Maybe I‘ll get the audiobook. ♥️ 5y
TheBookbabeblog84 @Clwojick I‘m planning on reading the physical and listening to the audiobook. If you have scribd they have the audiobook available on 5/4. 5y
Lindy @TheBookbabeblog84 I listened to Khadijah Roberts-Abdullah perform this audiobook; she was great. Is she the same narrator on Scribd? 5y

TheBookbabeblog84 @Lindy the audio book I was referring to was for Dark Places. I wish Book of Negroes was available on Scribd 😭 5y
Lindy @TheBookbabeblog84 Ah, my mistake. 5y
TheBookbabeblog84 @Lindy it‘s all good. I‘m going to look to see if my library has the audio on Libby. 5y
Lindy @TheBookbabeblog84 I hope so for your sake. My library has it. 5y

So, weird yet, enlightening. Another book from my #unreadshelf

A good short read to get me back into a more "literary" mode.

Louise I would highly recommend this book written from the perspective of the brother of the Arab who is murdered at the beginning of The Stranger. 5y
PacingTheCage @Louise Thanks for the recommendation. I will check it out. 5y
Louise I hope you enjoy it! It‘s very well-written. 👌 5y
