#LittensLoveRomance with over half of the vote, we have our seasonal pick - a twist on A Christmas Carol with some ghostly adventures. I think this is a neat premise and I‘m looking forward to it. We‘ll read 3 chapters a day starting Dec 15 and we‘ll take a break on Christmas Day in case it‘s too busy to get much reading in for some of our participants. Let me know if you want to join in on my daily posts 🎄👻

Hello #SheSaid!
I hope this week has been treating you well and that you enjoyed the break/catch-up month. We are back this week with the first section of The Fifth Season! It is a reread for me, but I have to say I still feel as lost in the beginning this time as I did then, even though I know it all makes sense later… how are you making out with this week‘s section?

Hello, fellow Littens. It's time for another readathon. #TheCandyCaneReathaton theme is for when we go out to Christmas Parades or shopping, maybe even just being at home enjoying our hot chocolate with candy canes and a book just to relax and recharge. What book will you read during this time? A low-key #readathon where you can tag me @Liseworks your choice of books and your progress

Okay friends, I've created another Canva document, this one with bonus #ISpyBingo boards!! These boards each have a theme and are 4x4. These are “optional“ boards (as opposed to the monthly boards, which of course are REQUIRED OR ELSE 😂) I will post the link, and I'm also going to go ahead and upload each board onto Litsy next, but I am not going to tag everyone on every board.

I really enjoy the Guess the Book game that runs during Winter Games, it's such a fun easy to share books and it's very low key
People share book covers that have been distorted in some way and you try and guess the book
Since it won't be running this year I wanted to do a mini version on Discord. No points, just a fun time
I'm using the Gotta Catch ‘em All server because it's easier: https://discord.gg/uFtZ9ChYuY

Updated schedule for #SheSaid!
We had 1 book with 5 votes (Wild Swans) and 4 with 4 votes. I added them all to our schedule for 2026 along with our 2 fiction reads. I did bump Wild Swans back to March, so we could read it and the follow-up book by the author after (and hopefully 🤞 when the hold lines at the library are not so long 😬). Then there were about 12 books tied after that…so new vote this summer.

Just picked up my copy of Still Life from the library for the #OhCanada read. I've heard nothing but good things about this series, including from the Librarian that was checking my books out!
I'll post a discussion point at the end of December. It will be a brief, high level discussion post since people are reading various books in the series.
All are welcome to join this bi-monthly read where we explore Canadian authors.

Well #authoramonth readers, we have arrived in December, which brings us to Nora Roberts.

I've also asked if people want authors announced monthly or as a lot at the beginning of the year. Both work for me

I‘m happy to share next year‘s #LiteraryCrew ‘s reading list! Roughly 20 Littens voted on the list of titles, which is an amazing number.
The clear top votes went to Passing and Radar Girls. Passing technically had the most votes, but I think it‘s a good book to read for Black History Month.

Our final read of the year for #VirginiaBloomsberries is considered her most experimental work. The Waves was published in 1931. It records the individual accounts of six children of their lives and friendship from childhood to adulthood. VW uses the third-person narrative to show their point of view.
I'll be posting the reads for 2026 soon.
