*About Me*

1. Overthinker. Seems the best way to start a list like this since I always deliberate too intensely about what should come first (& what that says about me).

2. I read mostly contemporary fiction, genre fiction, memoirs, nature writing, & romance.

3. I work as a Children‘s Librarian in an historical library with actual gargoyles (or, technically grotesques — of the stone sculpture variety, not just a mean name for my coworkers).👇🏻

monalyisha 4. I moonlight as a wedding officiant, designing custom ceremonies for quirky folks in love. Most recently, I officiated on Plum Island; Rose Island; for a D&D-loving couple; and for another duo who met when she auditioned to be the singer of his folk band (she snagged the gig and his heart).

5. I live in Rhode Island, the Ocean State, which is perfect for me. I firmly believe that there‘s nothing better than being by (or in) salt water.
3w
monalyisha 6. I live with my husband, Adam (a punk rock-playing photographer) and our dog, Jett(y), who we adopted in September. Moxie‘s ghost also resides with us. She was the best bun-daughter a girl could ask for. 🐇 We lost her this past July. She enjoyed a long life of mischief and luxury. 3w
monalyisha 7. I can tap dance! I took lessons for 10 years as a kid and rekindled my love of tapping as an adult circa 2020. Life got busy this past year and I fell away from it…but I know I won‘t be gone forever.

8. I‘ve been sitting on a brilliant idea for a picture book for way too long. Modest, I know…but I really think it could be something! I hope this is the year I finally buckle down and write it.

monalyisha 9. There are two wolves inside me. One loves glitter and the other knows it‘s terrible for the environment.

10. If I could choose any beverage to cheers to the New Year and to my match, @Christine, it‘d be coffee (dark, no sugar). More “spirit”ually-speaking, I love red wine, tequila, mezcal, espresso martinis, and I‘m always down to try a new beer. 🥂

Happy New Year!

rachelsbrittain I was a tap dancer as a kid! My friend and I were recently talking about trying it out again as adults. I've gotten very into aerial in the past few years but I miss taking dance classes still. 3w
monalyisha @rachelsbrittain It‘s such a joyful thing — & great for your memory (which I could always use help with 😅)! If you‘re on Instagram & you want to be inspired, I‘d recommend @thomastaps, @sourtaps, & @operationtap (which is a great account to follow if you like old film clips). It was challenging, at first, because I did Broadway Tap growing up, which is not The Thing as a grown-up (rhythm tap is more common & honestly cooler). But I love it! 3w
Amiable Happy New Year, and happy #AuldLangSpine! 3w
BkClubCare Ah, I ❤️ RI; I am giving more thought to crafting my pie book (that was a goal, could be again?) Maybe we can start a support group 3w

Christine So fun to learn all of these things about you!! Fantastic photo, too. LOL to not calling your coworkers names (though if you ever have a work softball/trivia night, etc. team you might should name yourselves either The Gargoyles or The Grotesques!!!) I love RI and used to visit a lot when my husband and I lived on the Cape in the early 2000s. 🩵 And I raise the coffee I‘m currently drinking (always dark roast with just half and half for me) ⬇️ 3w
Christine to you - cheers to a 2025 full of reading splendor!! 🥂📚🎉 3w
monalyisha @Christine Love that our coffee orders are so similar! And I‘m keeping that team name suggestion in the back of my mind! Can‘t see us playing softball ever but there IS such a thing as Synchronized Library Book Cart Drill Teams! 😅 My library doesn‘t currently have one but a girl can dream. 3w
Christine LOL, I will be willing that drill team into existence for you!! 2w
Chelsea.Poole Great photo! I‘m also a dark roast, leave it alone, no syrups for me — coffee drinker. On occasion I do enjoy oak milk lattes with raw honey from my local coffee shop. Sorry, I‘m not your match but just invited myself into this coffee conversation! 2w
monalyisha @Chelsea.Poole I actually prefer light-medium roasts (which took me a while to discover because dark roasts felt more bad-ass to me, and I want to be tough 😅). But I just do the tiniest splash of milk. 2w
Chelsea.Poole So funny because I‘m decidedly NOT tough in all aspects of life, but I guess I‘ll claim toughness with my brew 💪 (I appreciate a light or dark roast too!) 2w

@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) 1mo
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. 1mo

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. 1mo
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. 1mo
willaful @monalyisha That's one of the ones I read and loved. BUT that is not his only book! I'll substitute 1mo

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. 1mo
willaful @dariazeoli I hope you'll find some great reads. 1mo

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🏆 1mo
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. 1mo
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. 1mo

DGRachel I can‘t wait to hear what you think! Enjoy!! 1mo
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)? 1mo
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. 1mo
Mollyanna @DGRachel Perfect! Sounds like a great approach to appreciating the book. 1mo

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.

Thanks for all the work matching us up @monalyisha ! This is my list from @Born.A.Reader -already thinking I need to read #12!

monalyisha Yes! I almost put out a general PSA that anyone with Christmas titles should feel more than welcome to read them now! ❄️ 2mo
Born.A.Reader @kspenmoll Yes I loved that one! It was the first one I read of that series/author and am now on the hunt for the rest. 1mo

I love this list from @Mollyanna - it has a bit of all the things I love and I‘ve only read one of them! I will probably start with the 3 I already own, and I will definitely read The Ravenmaster. I may try to read the first five Phoebe and her Unicorn books this month, to catch up to the one on the list. They look like nice palate cleansers/escapist reads. Then I‘ll have to throw the rest in a hat to decide what to read next. #auldlangspine2025

LiteraryinPA I loooove Phoebe and her Unicorn. Perfect charming reads for any season! 2mo

My #AuldLangSpine reading choices so many to choose from!I will be starting January with these two! As much as I have enjoyed Holly Black, I'm just not in the mood for her vibes. @LeafingThroughLife have you decided on your selection(s)?

Deblovestoread Great list! 2mo
monalyisha I *love* Elizabeth Acevedo‘s YA reads. I think the tagged is my favorite of hers (but it‘s a close tie with The Poet X). If you ever listen to audiobooks, she usually does she narration herself and she‘s *fabulous.* 1mo
LeafingThroughLife Hope you enjoy these! I posted my picks from your list this AM and am looking forward to getting started. I 100% agree with @monalyisha about Elizabeth Acevedo on audio, if you‘re into audiobooks at all. I listened to With the Fire on High and the narration was fabulous, so I can def recommend that. That said, I‘m sure it‘s a great book in *any* format if audio‘s not your thing. Happy reading! 😁 1mo

MeganAnn Yay!! I can‘t wait to get my list! Also, I love all the nature pictures you use from your friend. He does such amazing work! 2mo
monalyisha @MeganAnn Thank you! I do pass on compliments to him. 😉 Can you even believe that little bitty berry right in the chickadee‘s beak?! 2mo
MeganAnn @monalyisha it‘s incredible that he managed to capture that at the perfect moment before the tiny berry was eaten! I believe I followed him on instagram way back when you started using his photos and they always make me so happy. 2mo
