Well, unbelievably there is only one week left in January, which means it's time for 2025's first mini-existential crisis!! 😂 It also happens to be time to get together your lists if you are planning to #BookSpin in February!!!
Thank you all for the well-wishes on the new house!! We are under contract and things seem to be moving smoothly so we are hoping to close by the end of February!!

Funny story, life has been CRAZY this month and I legit forgot about getting this giveaway sorted out until yesterday 😂 Apparently, vacation + family from out of state + buying a house all within a two-week period means I start forgetting other things!!
ANYWAY here are the 2024 winners!!! @Megabooks @vonnie862 @robinb @CSeydel @julsmarshall CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

#FellowshipOfTolkien Readers, here‘s our plan for The Fall of Arthur! I would like to finish reading it in February, but I also think this book may require some slow, close reading. Remember our schedule is always a very loose guideline and feel free to post your thoughts at any time. I hope to make time to post each weekend if not during the week.

This is the first planned reading schedule for #RealmofElderlings
I‘m giving 2 months for books over 500 pages which is pretty much all of them! This means it will take about 2 years to get through the entire series.
We'll be starting with Assassin's Apprentice in February, there will be a buddy read and readalong on SG and I'll post start, mid, end posts on Litsy

February‘s book, depending upon the version you read, may or may not feature Nancy in a tap dancing contest. But, the 1939 & the 1969 editions involve cats and tapping sounds of sorts. Will Nancy tap her way to solve the mystery?

I'll host readalongs, buddy reads and I'll post on Litsy. I'm hoping to start February/March. Couple of things need sorting like reading order and whether some books need two months to read.

Hello #MonthlyNonfiction2025 friends! Both @willaful and @TheAromaofBooks suggested that since there are 11 Dewey classifications, it might be fun to read one classification per month.
If anyone would like to do that, I have updated the StoryGraph challenge to include the Dewey classifications as Bonus prompts.
So you can track your monthly reading in the regular monthly prompts (#1-12) and your Dewey reading...
