I can‘t believe it‘s that time of year again! What should the #hashtagbrigade read next year? We read chapter a day, and we can spread any book over a couple months, so don‘t be afraid to nominate a longer book. I‘ll hold the nominations for a couple weeks, and then open up the voting.

You've still got time to read the buddy read Let The Forest In and anything by Jordan L Hawk. I've seen little have been reading the Outfoxing the Paranormal series

I discovered my library has access to Comics Plus, which is a pretty overwhelming wealth of comics and manga. I've been meaning to read more comics for ages, so... I'm going to drag you all along with me with a #ComicsBingo card
To avoid this being a major and scary commitment, there are just 9 prompts.
Find graphic novels and manga to fill up your card by December 31st 2025.

Yikes. I‘ve just realized I have an unreasonable number of half-read books that I‘d really like to get read before the end of the year. Feeling the same? Join me for a #finishwhatyoustarted readathon starting Nov 1. It doesn‘t need to be half-read books. Maybe you are behind on a challenge or some buddy reads? Make whatever you like of it!
I‘ll post my stack later this week.

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

#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.

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.
