#ReadOrDonate is back for another year! It‘s time to do something about those unread books we all own! Each month, choose a book that you vow to read that month. At the end of the month, if the book is still unread, it must leave your house. If you have read the book you choose whether to keep it, or set it free into the world for someone else to enjoy.

#ReadAway2024 was such a spectacular success that I didn‘t see any valid reason to end the fun😝

This Christmas my time off work starts Tuesday but I have no family in town to celebrate the holiday with and my husband has to work until Thursday. So I plan to hunker down with some books, a cozy blanket, & a cat or two - maybe even get the fireplace going. I figured I would host a #CozyChristmas readathon for anyone who wants to join me! #readathon

In looking at my overstuffed bookshelves, I realized had quite a few books I would most likely never read, because I‘m “allergic” to chunksters, and continually avoid them. So I decided to challenge myself to read 3 chunksters this year. All are welcome to join me. My definition of a chunkster is a book over 500 pages, but feel free to use whatever definition makes sense to you.

Make your own goals, eat or make some treats, share your pictures. I‘m looking forward to it!

I'm going to #QueerBC May-May so I'll refresh the author list then and I'll do some feedback stuff March/April to see how to improve it

Everyone is welcome!

Hey friends!! So I've been looking at my life and my upcoming schedule, and I am going to pause #RandomClassics definitely for January, and maybe longer, kind of depending. I still have a huge list of classics I would like to read, and I have really enjoyed reading these with you all, but for now I need to skip a month!! I'll let everyone know when I am ready to pick back up again!!

I spontaneously created this challenge on January 1, 2020 - the reason I draw the numbers on the 2nd of the month is literally because it was too late to draw them on the 1st when I first came up with this 😂 Since then we've added #DoubleSpin and #BookSpinBingo to keep things lively.

Let's do it! For the #classicschallenge 2025, in the first quarter, we focus on poetry! To participate, you can read through poetry collections, a poem a day, or just browse through the classics.

#LittensLoveRomance this month‘s vote was a nail-biter! Each book was in the lead at some point but this ended up taking it by a slim margin. Good news - I found it on kindle for $2.99 - I‘m hoping it‘s cheaper where you are or you can access your library‘s copy. There are like 66 chapters but I think they‘re short so we‘ll be reading 5 a day starting Dec 15.

#JaneAustenThenAndNow begins in January.
When choosing books for #12MonthsOfJane I knew Yuletide was perfect for December. Short stories are wonderful during the holiday season. Plus there's something for everyone. And I love that it benefits Chawton Great House. Grab your copy and enjoy over the festive season. Discussion Post will be up December 30th.
repost for @RamsFan1963:
For those who don't know, December's selection for #ClassicLSFBC is Connie Willis' Doomsday Book. Originally published in 1992, it should be available in most libraries. The audiobook, which is a staggering 26 hours long, is available free on Spotify & Audible, if you have premium accounts. Good luck and happy reading.
