My #stuffedstockingswap is on its way! Thanks for hosting this fun swap @Avanders !! #sss

Here‘s your reading list for when you‘re #snowedin @PuddleJumper . I love a good pun title and thoroughly enjoyed browsing your list!

The first book up for #WiththeBanned is Toni Morrison‘s The Bluest Eye. We will start reading January 1st! You can read a chapter a day or however you like. Just let me know if you want to be added to the tag list! #WTB2025

I‘ll repost this closer to January, but I wanted to make sure everyone had time to get their copy with the holidays.

There‘s been some interest in this group, so I‘ve created a Google form for book nominations. I‘ll try to have a poll for books open by Dec 1 with our first read starting in January. No pressure, jump in or out whenever you want.

If you‘ve already submitted the form, I have your responses.

Anybody interested in a banned books buddy read? Probably a chapter a day format. It just feels like a critical time to collect books.

Happy Halloween, #FrightClub !! I hope you enjoyed #HauntedShelf .I enjoyed seeing all your posts and reading spooky books. Please have your second half points to me by November 8th. You all did an amazing job!!

Thank you so much @Nazgul93 !!! I‘m so excited to cozy up with this bag of Reese‘s and start one of these books — but I can‘t decide which one! And I love the Beetlejuice bookmark! Thanks again!! #AHRS #AllHallowsReadSwap

I received my #AllHallowsReadSwap in the mail today!! Thanks @Nazgul93 !! And thanks @MaleficentBookDragon for hosting this swap!! #AHRS

Four more Word search words found! I had never heard the word conker before, so I was thrilled to find it!! #HauntedShelf #FrightClub

This was so good!! I recommend it if you enjoy exploring the “dark” minds of killers. Hannibal was a minor character.

#AllHallowsReadSwap is on its way! I had a lot of fun shopping for this 💚👻🎃 #AHRS

Found 10 #wordsearch words.

#HauntedShelf #FrightClub

One down for #ItsATrope . (Second Chance)

First #TrappedInASpookyHouse read down. I wasn‘t sure what to expect going in, but the dual timelines kept me hooked. #HauntedShelf #FrightClub

This is a #HauntedShelf book recommendation for “Morally Dubious”. Quite honestly, almost everyone in this book is a horrible person with questionable actions.

#FrightClub

Started off spooky season by visiting the local vampires. I give as often as I can - and I‘m lucky they scheduled the donation bus to set up at our building.

#HauntedShelf #FrightClub

And here we go, #FrightClub !! This is our first team game. Unlimited points. Just tag a book in the comments that has something in common with the book before it! #HauntedShelf

I‘m excited to get into some spooky reads! Let‘s go, #FrightClub !!

It‘s been a while since I‘ve done a #bookspin list. Im excited to get back into it!

Hey there! I had this idea pop in my head yesterday, so I thought I‘d make a Bingo Board for October. Feel free to play along and earn some #HauntedShelf points! #ItsaTrope

These are 4 book series I really enjoy and definitely have spooky vibes! I would recommend any of them for #HauntedShelf.
#FrightClub

Here‘s my very ambitious #HauntedShelf TBR - what can I say? I like to have choices👻 And this doesn‘t even include books on my kindle and audiobooks 🤦🏼‍♀️

I love Mary Kay Andrews‘ writing!

Back at work after a week off with Covid. Hoping this keeps me awake and helps me focus.

Hey all, I decided to change my username so as to not remotely be associated with any political movements here in the U.S.

I‘m changing it on Storygraph as well.

The Storygraph AI-generated previews crack me up sometimes. Yes, my favorite genres: adventure, mystery, and lesbian necromancers 🤣🤣

I loved this book, though keeping up on audio was tough at times.

I think this will be my last Austen for the month. I enjoyed it, but so little time was spent at the Abbey. I just wanted more. #AuthorAMonth

Another #AuthoraMonth finished. I think I enjoyed it more than Sense and Sensibility, but maybe it‘s just because I knew more about Pride and Prejudice going in. And yes, I wished to smack the men with a book in this one as well.

I must admit this is the first Jane Austen book I‘ve ever read. I did enjoy it, though I do wish smacking some of these men over the head with a large book was possible. #AuthoraMonth

Edit: I forgot my bingos in the first post!! 😱

2nd half total is 42,645 @Clwojick

Iris is unamused by my choice to read (with football playing in the background) rather than going to bed early. 😸😸

First #Bookspin #BookspinBingo list of 2024. I‘m trying to leave a lot of wiggle room for mood reading this year.

I started this last year, but I lost my notebook a month in and didn‘t have the energy to start over. So this year I‘m trying again. Each genre gets its own color, and I‘ll highlight 1-3 lines for each book I read (depending on length). The idea is to crochet a blanket or scarf with the pattern, but I‘ll likely just end up with a pretty notebook. (Excuse Iris‘ paw - her bath was more important than my picture).

Thank you so much for the #jolabokaflodswap package @forestandcrow !!! The replacement Yule card is perfect!!! I‘m excited to try this chocolate!!

Thank you so much for the #jolabokaflodswap package @guinsgirlreads !!!! I can‘t wait to settle in and read!

Got my #jolabokaflod package today! Thanks @guinsgirlreads !!! I can‘t wait to open it!!
