"Doing fewer things is the key to producing good work." How on earth can I get my boss and my boss' boss to read this book? This is clearly not a concept they are familiar with.

I do enjoy Jane Harper's Australian outback thrillers. They never end the way I think they will. #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville
Started reading this book this morning. I really want to keep reading instead of getting to work, as it has been pretty awful lately, but alas, I have a bunch of meetings that are starting soon. Not enough coffee in the world for the day I'm about to have.

@Soubhiville
Can't believe it is March already! I read 9 books in February, and the tagged book was my favorite read of the month. However, the scientific nonfiction "Outlive" comes in a close 2nd.

@CSeydel
I'm taking a long weekend, with Monday off, for self care reasons and planning to finish the tagged book for #Roll100 #76. I've never read it and have been intrigued lately when I saw some FB friends complaining about this being inappropriate for their kids to read in school. I'm 1/3 into it, and it seems fine for school reading to me. What am I missing?

@PuddleJumper
I am actually surprised that Britney's memoir was my favorite read of January, but it was definitely better than I had anticipated by a lot. #2024Bracket
@CSeydel
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to read Mansfield Park like I had planned, but at least I can read Sanditon for #AuthorAMonth
@Soubhiville
Having some coffee/reading time this morning and hoping to finish this book - #83 for #Roll100. This one has been on my shelf for more than 10 years.
@PuddleJumper
Got all my books added in StoryGraph for this next year's #Roll100. Can't wait to see what numbers come up for January. I hope to have a strong start.
@PuddleJumper
Merry Christmas, All!!! 🎄 A big thank you to all the @LitsyLove people for all the holiday warm wishes. ❤️❤️❤️

I am very happy I finally read Dracula, as it was the only book I read in October that I loved that I hadn't read already. We shall see what happens in November and December. #2023ReadingBracket
I don't know that my points are that great compared to what I have been seeing out there (my points totaled 37,301), but this month I read twice as many books as I normally do - finishing up 21 books, which is absolutely crazy, since I didn't take one day off of work this month. Plus, I completed some Octobery things to do. This has been such a nice month!
#scarathlon #spookyghostclub
@Clwojick
Happy Halloween! Ready and waiting for some trick or treaters. #OctoberBucketList
#scarathlon #spookyghostclub @Clwojick
I'm so happy that I finally read this book. It was wonderful and the perfect read for #scarathlon! Plus, I got to check off a October bucket list item by reading out by my pool this weekend while it was simply beautiful out. Now it is just cold and gloomy.
#rereadtheclassics @AllDebooks
Finished this #Roll100 book while snacking on some candy corn (#OctoberBucketList) yesterday, which was a much better way to spend my day than watching my football team lose again.

I am so happy you picked Simone St. James for #authorofthemonth @Soubhiville ! I really enjoy ready her books. The tagged book was short and sweet!

I say that this is a "pick", but this book was really hard to stomach in many ways between the sexual abuse and pregnancy horror. It is not at all my favorite kind of scary story, but it was intense.

I should be doing productive things like cleaning my house, etc., but I'm gonna start this #scarathlonsprint right now instead.
@dabbe @Clwojick #scarathlon #spookyghostclub
Managed to finish the tagged book during the #scarathlonsprint. Glad I finally read this classic.

I listened to the tagged book while I was listening to Pet Sematary. I needed to have a lighter, cozier read. This book did the trick and helped me complete my #OutstandingOctober goals over the weekend.

Having people over means that I finally trimmed the trees a bit and brushed up the leaves, so people could enjoy the pool without being attacked by foliage. It doesn't look like I did much, but I was out there for an hour and a half and filled my entire garbage bin. #octoberbucketlist #scarathlon #spookyghostclub @Clwojick
Managed to finish some reads yesterday including this one, which I'm glad I finally read but it wasn't nearly as good as I thought it would be.

Though I am not going to do the full 24 hour readathon like I normally do, as I have out-of-town family visiting for the weekend, I am going to do what I can to read for some of it. I'm starting Hour 1 with the tagged book that I hope to finish today.
#deweysreadthon #deweysoctober2023 @DeweysReadathon
This is probably my least favorite King novel to date. I finished it & did enjoy Michael C Hall's narration, but this book was morbid & too graphic/gory for me.

I think my point total for the first half of #scarathlon is acceptable at 20,375. I have finished 11 books, which is crazy good for me. I normally can't read that many in a whole month. 😊 I am hoping to do better on bingo cards during the 2nd half of the month. Only got some bingo lines on #ispybingo.

Yesterday for #fridaythe13th, I finished reading my #scarathlon team read. It was not my favorite, as I don't enjoy cozy mysteries. The writing isn't great. I needed a lighter read, though.

To stick with all my murdery books, I had to include some true crime, and Ann Rule really is the best. I really can't say that I have disliked any Ann Rule book that I have read. The tagged is no exception.
