@monalyisha has worked her matchmaking magic once again & I am super excited about my #AuldLangSpine list from @JacqMac ! 🎉📚🎉

The 5 books I‘ve already read from her list (James, Slewfoot, In the Lives of Puppets, Where the Crawdads Sing & The Children on the Hill) were all books I loved & put on my own #AuldLangSpine lists the years I read them, so that bodes well for those books I haven‘t read yet!

I‘m still deciding on what I‘ll read ⬇️

DebinHawaii … first & I‘m still exploring unfamiliar titles. I will say that The Briar Club was on my TBR & I just scored the Kindle e-book for $1.99 & I have a Once Upon a Book Club box for The Women so I may start with one of those. I tend to read from my lists all year long & I‘m happy to get started next month! I‘ll post my decision soon! Thanks again @monalyisha for this event & all your hard work & bookish matchmaking skills! 🤗💛 (edited) 2w

JacqMac Yay!!! I hope you find something you love. I‘m still deciding on my first read, too. You have so many great ones on your list. I know I‘ll be reading many of them. 2w

Sapphire I enjoyed Backmans Novella, the Answer is No. quick and funny. 7d

General Facts About Me: 2025 Edition

I like the annual updating of this list. It mostly stays the same, but I do some tweaking. Kind of like me as I get older!

This is my first time doing #AuldLangSpine, and the fact that @dariazeoli gave me a list with 6 books I've already read and really liked shows that @monalyisha did an excellent matching job. 😁 I hope my list for her was as promising!

willaful I'm going to start with Project Hail Mary, which was already on my TBR since I really enjoyed The Martian. Hope I can get it in time, and why do the libraries only seem to have the abridged audio?! 😒 This Is Where I Leave You also looks really interesting, so one to go for if I can't get PHM at the start of the month. 2w

monalyisha I'm not sure how you feel about memoirs but I absolutely adore R. Eric Thomas. I am 100% here for Here for It.

Here for It: Or, How to Save Your Soul in America; Essays

willaful @monalyisha That's one of the ones I read and loved. BUT that is not his only book! I'll substitute

Congratulations, The Best Is Over!: Essays

monalyisha Ohh, I don‘t think I saw that on your list. Maybe it was pre-Litsy? Congratulations felt like visiting an old friend. 🧁 2w

willaful @monalyisha Yeah, I haven't been the best at keeping track here. 😳 2w

dariazeoli Oh my gosh! That‘s amazing! I think I‘ve only read one on your list and I‘m super excited to make plans for 2025 (I always wind up carrying some reads past January). Now that work is slowing down for another reason I think I‘ll have time and energy to start digging tomorrow. 2w

willaful @dariazeoli I hope you'll find some great reads. 2w

This is my first time participating in #ALS. Look at this absolutely fabulous list from @DGRachel for #AuldLangSpine. I‘m having a hard time deciding on which to choose first and have placed all the pictured books on hold at the library. I am so excited to discover new authors and characters.

Thank you for hosting this wonderful event @monalyisha

KadaGul @Mollyanna Choosing a title is easy if you check out what‘s out there and think about what genre you‘re into. Hoopla has around 75-85% of the titles with no waiting lists, while Libby has about 85-95% available, but good luck with avoiding those holds! If you can grab a hard copy, go for it instead of digital—it‘ll save some space on your shelf. Hope this helps. I am debating between a digital copy and a hard copy. HARD COPY MIGHT BE THE WINNER🏆 2w

KadaGul @Mollyanna This is my second year, and I joined again 🔁 because I had a blast 🤩doing it last year. It's low-key and has no pressure reading challenge. 2w

Mollyanna @KadaGul I went with hard copy from my library. Just about all are ready for pick-up. I am still a print book fan. My library system just got Hoopla, and we only get 2 borrows. I love hearing all the positives about this event and am excited to participate. 2w

DGRachel I can‘t wait to hear what you think! Enjoy!! 1w

Mollyanna @DGRachel I am so excited! I did have one question, I love Broadway and am excited to read the book about the writing of Hadestown. Does it make a difference that I haven‘t seen the show in its entirety (I‘ve seen scenes/songs on Broadway variety shows)? 1w

DGRachel No, I don‘t think so. It breaks down how each song was created and edited to get to the final form. I downloaded the score (Spotify/Apple/Tidal) and then I would listen to the song and read the chapter. 1w

Mollyanna @DGRachel Perfect! Sounds like a great approach to appreciating the book. 1w

What a fascinating #AuldLangSpine2025 #ALS list from @JoeMo ! Titles in red are books I've already read. Titles in blue are books I already own, so I will likely start with one of them in January.

Title in green is already on my TBR. I'm intrigued by the book about Siskel and Ebert. Honest disclosure: I don't intend to read anything with the words “Donald“ or “Trump in it for the rest of my life, if I can manage it. 😖 So probably not #14.
