This one is so tiny! That being said, I‘m splitting it into two parts. Just to give those who need it a little extra time to catch up before we start another chunky one. And I selfishly want a little time to fit in some horror reads from my TBR in October. lol

September was super hectic and stressful, but it feels like things are finally starting to calm down and find their equilibrium again! And I'm finally feeling like picking up some books!!! So join me this weekend (Friday-Monday) for a lil #readathon. And if you're a part of #HauntedShelf, enjoy a little point stacking as well 😁

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG book 4 We‘re back with the main story and it‘s a long one with 89 chapters, over 600 pages. I decided in order to take some of the pressure off the #buddyread, I would “assign” 10 chapters a week and we would check in once a week, on Mondays. This will take us to end of November but of course you can read at your own pace, as always. Please let me know if you want to join in - all are welcome!

There has been an incredible response to this little idea of mine. Consequently, I will close the sign-up window at the end of the month. I will reopen it for a short period on a quarterly timescale.
All are welcome to join us. There will be regular group emails, a Litsy page, a Discord server, and who knows what else we will come up with over the next few months.

Next week we begin The Blue Castle, followed by The Ladies of Missalonghi. I‘m tagging my “announcement/schedule” list, then in the comments I‘ll tag specific lists for each book. All are welcome—comment if there‘s a tag list you‘d like to be added to!

Oops! 🙊 I almost forgot to post the #EBBR reminder for October! Hopefully all who plan on reading this next entry in the series either already have their copy or have placed their holds.
Even if the September title wasn‘t my favorite, I always look forward to reading these books each month and remembering how little kid me just loved them.

Happy October #AuthorAMonth readers! My post is late this month as I had a visit from my sister and my Mom just moved in with me. I hope you‘ve already picked up your October author, Octavia Butler. Please take care of yourself while reading, as she goes dark and her fiction feels timely as she addresses inequality and other fights we are currently in politically.
What are you hoping to read?

The #OhCanada book club is going to head to Three Pines for the last read of 2025. Read any of the Louise Penny books depending where you are in the series or a book you maybe want to reread. There will likely be a few different books read so discussion question(s) will still be posted at the end but will be high level as to spoil any of the books.
All are welcome to join this low key bi-monthly read of Canadian authors.

It‘s now October so that means it‘s time for one of our #PersephoneClub reads!
@quietjenn ‘s pick for us this month is The Blank Wall by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding. This is a casual buddy read; read and comment on each other‘s posts and reviews as you see them. We usually aim to finish by the middle of the month but that‘s not written in stone. 😉 And anyone is welcome to read along with us, of course!
