Physical TBR for #hauntedshelf @PuddleJumper
I wasn‘t going to join in because my time for both reading and social media has decreased immensely but I already have a spooky TBR perfect for @TEArificbooks #witchathon & the tagged book has been haunting me for the better part of a decade 😂 so I‘ll get myself ready 🎃🍁👻

This is valid from Monday but I'm traveling Monday so here it is!

#HauntedShelf Let's Go! Points. You can earn some points before the challenges start in October by posting your TBR, recommending a book and posting the sign up link;

https://forms.gle/wmcY27wyx6awp3EfA

I'm excited to see everyone's tbrs … I'll probably steal a few for my own

PuddleJumper 1. The GDrive has a point tracker and information. Just make your own copy - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1E4W1geiK9TvLniayV03nUER_UbQ0pNIx?usp=dri... 3w

OutsmartYourShelf Pls add my Supernatural readathon too. #SPNBookBingo2025 3w

PuddleJumper @TEArificbooks Brilliant, that was a fun challenge. I've added it to the list, thanks 3w

PuddleJumper @OutsmartYourShelf Added! 3w

willaful I can't seem to make a copy, it says access denied. 3w

PuddleJumper @willaful The tracker? That's weird. I'll double check the settings 3w

PuddleJumper @willaful I have no idea what is going on. I've tested it on several accounts and it seems to be working. If you still can't copy it, I can send you a copy over Discord 3w

willaful @PuddleJumper I seem to have managed it. I think the problem was it was suggesting I put it in your folder and I didn't know I had to change that. 3w

PuddleJumper @willaful Ahh, that would make sense 3w

CSeydel Oh, I‘m gonna need a tutorial on how to count points with this… 2w

PuddleJumper @CSeydel You don't have to use it, it's just there as a resource. I like making spreadsheets ☺️ 2d

PuddleJumper @TEArificbooks @PathfinderNicole @shanaqui @ferskner @Captivatedbybooks @CindyMyLifeisLit @5feet.of.fury @Jadams89 @Ellie_H @Barkingmadread Just a reminder about these points because I posted this before teams were sorted 1d

Ellie_H Thanks for the reminder, I will be sure to post for points!!😁 1d

CSeydel Oh I‘m a big fan of spreadsheets too! I‘m not sure about the Readathons sheet. Do I put the title of the book in the row, and then it earns a point for each Readathon that I read it for? 11h

PuddleJumper @CSeydel 1. The Readathon tab is an easy way to count how many a book counts for. You put the title down then '1' for each readathon it counts towards, then you'll get a total. 11h

PuddleJumper @CSeydel 2. Let's say I read Carmilla in week 1 and it counts for 11 readathons (that includes buddy reads, bingo boards etc). In the week 1 tab there's a section for number of readathons, you type in 11 and it will automatically times that by 10 (10pts per readathon) and give you a readathon total which will then be added to hours read, book type to give you points per book

11h

CSeydel Ah! That makes sense - thank you! 11h

PuddleJumper @CSeydel No worries, it's not obvious. I'm not great at explaining my thought process with stuff like that so I just include examples 😅 If this one works out better I'll try and get some instructions for next year 11h

CSeydel No, I think it‘s great! I‘m just a little wobbly because I haven‘t done one of these points-tracking games before, so the system is less intuitive for me. I‘m sure it will be much more obvious once I‘ve gotten into the rhythm of it. Thanks for organizing!! 11h

CSeydel (Also I was concerned at first that I had to track my whole team‘s points, and I was very worried I would screw it up and make everyone mad at me, ha) 11h

PuddleJumper @CSeydel Oh no! I would never make anyone track team stuff. What a headache! They are responsible for that and I'm going on the honour system that no one is cheating or whatever, I'm not double checking that. That would make my head explode! 11h

The Sign of Four | Arthur Conan Doyle

pick

Last book completed in October. I think what I enjoyed more was Watson relationship with Miss Morstan (no spoilers So sad to see Holmes in drug dependence. Those first pages were hard because no one like to see another human being in that trap, sick world. As expected, Holmes will solve the mystery by using a deduction method. 3/3.5⭐️

Garlic and the Vampire | Bree Paulsen

pick

Cute middle grade graphic novel. The interaction between these characters is cute. I think novel will be a good resource to discussed different topics with the young ones, like the expression and management of different emotions, friendship, how to resolve conflict etc. I know the palette of colors could be described as one that is in accordance to autumn season but I think is a little too dark to appreciate some detail 3/3.5⭐️

The Impossible Girl | Lydia Kang

pick

I really enjoyed this story it has mystery, suspense, romance, drama. Manhattan 1850. Cora Lee is a resurrectionists which means she sells for high price, bodies with strange anomalies to anatomists who will exhibit the bodies to the public. But too many people is dying, do they die for natural causes? And now, Cora also has a price since she is the impossible girl with two hearts.

It was good. It took me 6 years to read this story. 🔽

Gissy I thought it was going to be a fantasy book but it is a HF mystery. 3.8/4 ⭐️

🙁Didn‘t love it. The story began well, liked the mystery of what was going on, spooky in the middle but then that paranormal thing appeared (not spoiler) It was for me even ridiculous🤷🏽‍♀️Again, my fault for expecting too much. 3⭐️

The Spellshop | Sarah Beth Durst

so-so

October was not a good reading month for me. Sorry, this is another unpopular opinion. Don‘t shoot me. I found the story not cute enough for me. Found it even boring in some parts. I guess the problem with me is that I expect too much when the book is so hyped. Let‘s say nothing is wrong with the book, just that it is not for me. Maybe if I re-read it later I can forget this
hyped-ish fever and maybe I can enjoy it more🤷🏽‍♀️3⭐️Love the gifts
