@Riveted_Reader_Melissa and her #Nonfiction2022 is here!
“Can anyone guess the inspirations for this year‘s choices?
.
If these make you think of the closing of The Breakfast Club or the song B!tch by Meredith Brooks you are right. People/books can be many different things to different people depending on your POV & preconceived ideas OR many things all wrapped up in one. So have a blast fillings these categories any way you want.“
@Chelleo is once again hosting #BlitsySwap!
“The #BlitsySwap is officially open for sign-ups! This swap celebrates Black Lit (2 books) and Culture (2 gift items). This swap is international and open to ALL ages and ethnicities! Kids must have a Litsy grown-up to coordinate details. Please submit one form per person. Please spread the word!
Details can be found on the sign-up page: https://bit.ly/bhmswap2022“
Celebrate @Librarybelle 40th year!
“I wanted to do something fun and decided to commemorate the year by reading a book published in each year from 1982-2022. I‘m calling it #19822022 . I‘ve wanted to do similar challenges that encompass 100 years worth of books, but this will be a perfect smaller challenge that I can do along with other challenges.
Feel free to join me if you would like! I don‘t have a signup form, so this is very low key.“
We're with @Patchshank!
“Ghost stories used to be a Christmas Eve tradition. That really needs to make a comeback. Who's with me? 🎄👻
But it's a readathon for horror, thriller, murder mystery and so on. Set your own goals even if that goal is to not have a goal. Tag me in the review if you feel like it.“

From @peanutnine: “There are a lot of reading challenges for 2022 planned but nothing with a diversity focus. I was thinking of having each month of the year dedicated to a certain heritage or culture or minority.
I will post the list of monthly prompts ahead of time so you can plan your year if that's your thing. Let me know if you would be interested in joining a challenge like this! I'd love your feedback“
