My pick for skeleton/bones
This book was fiction but I still worry about that family.
#Scarathlon #PhotoChallenge Team #BOOkLovers
My September top 12. What a great reading month!
I completely forgot to post for the photo challenges yesterday. I combined #Scarathlon and #AutumnPlease! to make a seasonal black and orange stack.
October is here! Excited for hosting my first ever #Readathon #ReadySetRead
Have fun and tag me please. Can‘t wait to see what you all do to kick off the best reading month of the year!
I am leaving soon for an early morning soccer match, but hope I can fit in some buddy reads and short stories later on today.
Good morning Team #BOOkLovers
Here we go! This is the week one game. As a reminder our group reads are: The Monnstone by Wilkie Collins, The Shining by Stephen King, and Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier.
This will run all week and you can get unlimited points.
No pressure! #Scarathlon
Well after one day of #20in4 I‘ve completely upended my plan for this Readathon 🤣
I bailed on Severance and Rabbit Hutch, and am now trying to clear out some books from Scribd and my kindle before the day ends. Tomorrow starts #scarathlon and everything spooky 🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻
Happy #Scarathlon Eve Team #BOOkLovers
Today is the last day for early bird points, and tomorrow the real fun begins!
Remember to track your points, tag me in your posts, and have fun! Don‘t worry about trying to do everything. This is for fun!
🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻
Last post for today Team #BOOkLovers
I wanted to post the link to the google drive one more time. Since I first posted it so many readathons and challenges have been added!

I enjoyed this book about cranky mc Greta and her dumpster fire of a year. Grumpy ladies have feelings too. Thanks for the representation 🤣
Team #BOOkLovers here‘s a popular one. You can earn 10 points each time you find a word on this list in a book/story.

Happy Hump Day team #BOOkLovers
My lovely children have gifted me with the cold that never ends so I am trying to catch up today.
I hope you‘re all getting excited for Sunday and the start of #Scarathlon
To help you get organized here is the point system.
Everyone is welcome to take part in the #ReadySetRead Readathon on October 1st. It‘s a 24 hour kick off to the best reading season of the year! To join post below about how you plan to make this the best reading month all year.
This is in conjunction with #Scarathlon but everyone is welcome 👻🎃👻🎃👻🎃
#TeamBOOklovers here is the official #scarathlon photo prompt list! Have fun!
Hello #TeamBOOkLovers
Here are the #scarathlon rules for photo challenges. I‘ll post the official event prompts next, but this goes for any photo challenge you‘d like to take part in. Like everything else this is completely optional.
Up next on this Tropical Storm Ophelia Readathon I seem to have going on here is this graphic novel set on the Autumn Equinox.
Enjoyed this book although I honestly didn‘t understand the ending. Love a badass heroine in post-apocalyptic Africa. #AuthorAMonth
I loved The Good Earth, and I was really excited to read the next book in the series for #FoodAndLit #China
I didn‘t love it though. Oh well. I might try the third one because I‘ve heard that‘s better, but this one was way too long and didn‘t have the storytelling magic the first one had.
Happy Friday #TeamBOOkLovers
Here are some #Scarathlon tips and tricks that @Clwojick and @StayCurious put together.
Any questions let me know!
Today‘s adventure in Chinese tea. #FoodAndLit #China
I‘m probably not the intended audience for these books, but I really like them. I love the characters and love cheering them on as they navigate teenage life.
Here‘s my list for next month‘s #BookspinBingo and #Scarathlon
I‘m hoping to make a dent in all of the free cozies I‘ve collected on my Kindle!
Beatriz Williams was my choice this month for the #BacklistReadathon
I wanted more of the 1998 story and less of the prohibition story on this one, but it was still enjoyable. I‘ll probably read the sequel at some point.
Looking forward to October‘s #TitlesAndTunes #Blues
This book about a missing blues man in Arkansas fits so many challenges it better not let me down 🤣
For a song I went with Steep Canyon Rangers which is more bluegrass than blues. I need to add some blues to my life so am looking forward to the playlist.
#Scarathlon #TeamBOOkLovers let‘s get to know each other. Feel free to answer in the comments or create your own post.
I don‘t watch a ton of movies, but I am looking forward to watching some of my favorite TV Halloween episodes. I tend to binge on Food Network competitions this time of year as well. And of course Clue The Movie and The Great Pumpkin 🎃 #scarathlon #TeamBOOkLovers
I got a few different teas to try for this month‘s #FoodAndLit
Starting the tagged book tomorrow. Where has this month gone??
#Scarathlon sign ups are still open until the end of September. Join us for the best party all year!

@StayCurious @Clwojick
I really love this MG series about two evacuated children during WWII in England. The characters touch your heart even when they are being stubborn and irrational. #BookedInTime #WWII
This book was delightful. Gray brought so many characters together from Jane Austen‘s books for a murder mystery in a way that seemed authentic and humorous at the same time. I can‘t wait to get my hands on the next one!
Thanks @StayCurious for leading us and the rest of the #PemberLittens for adding to the fun.
Happy Monday #TeamBOOkLovers
The scariest day of the week am I right?
We have a chance to get some pre-event points! Please see above.
Reminder - we all need to track our own points. See the google drive for a helpful tracking sheet (or make your own- whatever works for you.)

Also Litsy has been doing weird things with tags so check back here for updates. #scarathlon
Saturday night y‘all!
Holly is such a great character, and I will read anything King writes about her. Great creepy story.
I do understand why some people complained about the politics. It didn‘t seem natural to me that people would bring it into conversation as soon as Holly met them. On the other hand at a family funeral for a beloved uncle who died of covid I heard someone complaining about wearing a mask. So who knows.
Four stars. Sad it‘s over.
@dabbe I posted yesterday but my post seems to have gone into the ether. User error I‘m sure 🤣
1) Emma Woodhouse
2) Holly Gibney
3) Jo March
#ThreeListThursday
So-so with the caveat that part of my issue was with the reader, and I probably would have liked this more in print.
This book features Dr. Siri, a coroner in 1970‘s Laos. The mystery wasn‘t very engaging to me, but I loved the details of Communist Laos in 1977. If I can find a print version of another book in this series I‘ll likely give it a try.
Almost done #ReadingAsia2021

Hello team BOOk Lovers! We're halfway through September! I wanted to let you all know what the options are for our Buddy Read.
If you're new to the #Scarathlon the way it works is there are many ways to earn points for your team. One way is to read one of the buddy read books - 50 points! You can read all of them but only one counts as a buddy read.
Multi-generational books are my sweet spot. This book about a family over time and what home means was no exception. Still #ReadingAsia2021 #Kuwait
A very entertaining audiobook for #TitlesAndTunes #DramaQueen (s). I had fun with the stories of old Hollywood while I walked my laps around the soccer field this week.
Today was a day! Got to work at 6:30 only to find the internet down. Then there were HR issues. Then more tech issues. And my daughter calling me over and over because her toe hurt and she wanted a foot massage. More HR issues. Then a text from my Dad. Could I remind him of the order of the Holly Gibney books? Finally a problem I could solve 🤣
I was looking for cookbooks for #FoodAndLit and was inspired to check out a few extras.
Thunder just started rumbling. Seems like a good time to start Holly.
I only meant to stay here long enough to catch up on my chapter a day reads, but now Daisy is comfortable. I guess I need to read a while longer.
Listened to this MG coming of age story with my daughter and we loved it. Does anyone have any similar books to recommend?
My #Top10Summer2023 reads in no particular order. It went fast, but I read some good books along the way!
