pickI have to admit I was terrified to read this book! I heard about the long list of triggers & warnings. I was pleasantly surprised how much I loved this book! Yes, there were parts that made me grossed out & parts that made me question myself for liking this book, but the banter between the main characters & the spicy parts of the book made up for all the not so enjoyable parts! Highly recommend, but read those triggers before diving in!
💙💙💙💙
I am going to attempt to do the 12 Challenge again this year! However, I am going to do it a bit different. I made a list of most of the physical books I own, but have not read yet and a list of my kindle books I have not read yet, then made a Google form for each that everyone can make their selections on!
Super excited to see how this goes and see which books I will be reading!
Forms and lists will be listed in comments!
Question for all the writers/authors/book lovers out there!
Today I was looking at my WordPress and realized I have 10 stories/books I have started to write, but hit a block on most/all of them and stopped. I really want to work on/finish these stories.
What do you do when you hit a block? Do you try to push through? Do you switch between stories?
Any advice/suggestions are welcome!
Congrats everyone who finished all the words in October or any words because you got books off your TBRs! Remember this runs all year, so whenever you find them it counts!

If you guessed that the #WickedWords Book/Movie this month was Remember the Titans or We Are Marshall you were correct!
I read Remember This Titan a while back and was struck by the real life coach of this team and everything he went through during that year and since! He is quite the guy and I highly recommend his book. I have not read November Ever After yet, but it is high on my TBR!
If I was in a horror story, I would be happy for a little while!!
Yep I for sure would be until bad things started to happen!!
What role would you play??
My broomstick takes me to the library.
Where does it take you?!
I am Elizabeth, witch of the new book. I ride a bike as my broom.
Can‘t wait to see your‘s!!!

If you have read any of the books & highly recommend them, please let me know!
If you want to join - you can set your own pace & goals - no pressure! We can be a support system to each other - chat about the books we have both read, recommend choices & warn about possible triggers! That being said, I would love to have others join me & read lots of books!

If you guessed that the #WickedWords Book/Movie this month was Grease 2, you were correct!
Have you ever read a book where the songs from the movie are turned into dialogue? The book follows the movie pretty closely, but there are moments added & some parts have been changed completely. I loved this book, it is on the top of my list for rereads. Plus Grease 2 is way better than Grease (yes, I said it and I stand by it!!)

If you guessed that the #WickedWords Book/Movie this month was 10 Things I Hate About You, you were correct!
This was a reread for me and I loved it just as much as I did originally! I have always thought this was a super cool way of introducing Shakespeare to teens and young adults. Some parts are different from the movie (not sure why) and other parts are screen captured goodness!

If you guessed that the #WickedWords Book/Movie this month was The Notebook, you were correct!
I read it (a reread for me) and it was just as amazing as the first time! This book always gives me hope and breaks my heart at the same time! I love Allie and Noah‘s story so much! I also adore the movie (hello Ryan Gosling!!) and it will forever hold a special place in my heart!
I did my #bookspin #doublespin a little different this month, I went by the order I read my books and these were the 6th book and the 11th book I read this month! Both were pretty good and I enjoyed them!
@TheAromaofBooks
Looking for recommendations: (possible spoilers for Only Murders in the Building)
I am a huge Only Murders in the Building fan, I love every second of the show. I especially love the friendship/relationship that Theo & Mabel have & was curious if there were books with these vibes? (One of the characters is deaf, but it isn‘t a barrier or main plot point.) I am leaning towards romance (it can be sweet or spicy). Any suggestions would be amazing!
Congrats everyone who finished all the words in January or finished any words because you got books off your TBRs! Remember this runs all year, so whenever you find them it counts!

If you guessed that the #WickedWords Book/Movie this month was The Shining, you were correct!
I read it (my first time) and I have to say it was not as scary as I thought it would be. Then again I have watched the movie many times, so I knew main plot points of the book (and thanks to Joey on Friends for “accidentally” spoiling the ending). Over all I enjoyed it and it was a good snowy day book to read.
Found this game and thought it would be fun to see how it went! Can‘t wait to see where this story leads!

Hello 2024! Congrats everyone who finished all the words in 2023 or finished any words because that mean you got books off your TBRs!
By popular vote, every month is going to have a theme, the overall theme of the year is books that are also movies.
The Catch: I am not going to reveal the book/movie until the end of the month, so you are welcome to guess when logging books!

#TeamEvergreen
It used to be going to a birthday party for my cousin, but the past few years it has been me curled up trying to finish up my reading goals before the clock strikes midnight!
If anyone is looking for a Thriller Book Club/Group, have I got the one for you!!! Over on Fable, I have a book club where we read books that could have been read around the campfire by the amazing Midnight Society (aka - on Are You Afraid of the Dark).
The above are the current choices for January‘s book, if anyone wants to join in on the fun, I would love to have you!!
Help me pick books for 2024! I need all the recommendations (and hopefully I already own a few of them, lol)!
Let me know book title, author and which board to put it on.

ANNOUNCEMENT: WickedWords will be back in 2024!! I am working on planning the words & trying to decide if I want to stick to random words or have a theme each month. If you had a choice (which you do) which would you like?

These are the seven books I have come up with so far as options for The Midnight Society BookClub on Fable. Now I need help actually picking, lol! If anyone wants to help me either pick or narrow it down, I would appreciate it!
You can either vote by emoji or tagging the book.
Thanks for your help!
I started a book club on Fable! I thought it would be fun to read books that could have been told around the campfire by the amazing Midnight Society (aka - on Are You Afraid of the Dark).
I am currently trying to make a list of books that would fit that criteria. They don‘t necessarily have to be YA, because I am sure the Midnight Society grew up to tell darker stories.
If you know of any or would like to join in, please let me know!
Thanks!
Wanna play a game?! Let‘s see if we can name all the movies that appear in this image!
Good Luck and Happy Halloween!!🎃🎃
15/40 have been named
Wow! October flew by! Congrats to everyone who completed the words or is still working on them! You are all doing amazing!
Can you guess what the theme for November is?! Yes, due to recent events, I went with a FRIENDS theme.
November‘s #WickedWords
- Friends
- Family
- Pivot
- Bing
- Thanksgiving
BONUS
- Read a book that was featured on FRIENDS (or relates to FRIENDS)
(I linked a list in the comments for ideas)
Good Luck & Happy Reading!

Which one would you pick & why?
I would pick either:
Camp Crystal Lake because I absolutely love those movies and I never went to summer camp as a kid, so I would like to experience it.
OR
The Overlook Hotel because if I pick the right day and get snowed in, think of how many books I would be able to read with no interruptions!!
Where oh where did September go?! Super proud of all of you who have finished and/or are still working on words! You are all amazing!!
Now onto October‘s #WickedWords
-Shadow
-Birthday
-Fall

UPDATE: If you saw my post yesterday I was trying to pick my next book. I narrowed it down to these two last night.
Cruel Prince has gotten the most votes from the people I have asked.
Sorority was not on the original post (because I had forgotten I had it, 🤦🏻♀️).
I think both are good options, just can‘t decide of course, lol!
