100 words for 1000 points!
@StayCurious

This is likely my only major contribution to the point getting for #holidaybookdragons 😂. I wrote a Python script last year for a similar Scarathlon challenge and used it for the 2023 Winter Games challenge. The phrase this year is the same as last year's, but I reran the code to be sure. The code and words can be found here: https://github.com/wapisani/public-pyprojects/tree/main/Litsy/WinterGames_2023/W.... #wintergames2024
@LiseWorks

1. LOVE me some eggnog. Non-alcoholic, though, and I recently found a pumpkin one that is delicious!!
2. Family tradition is one on Xmas Eve with new PJ‘s, and the rest on Xmas day
3. Red star to match our red, silver, and black decorations :)
4. Another family tradition is to have Xmas dinner at one of the two Waffle Houses within a mile of our house lol
5. Since I moved to Alaska, we can‘t afford to go home very often

+20pts

Got my books all ready to go! Glad the library was able to get those four in time. So excited to get started!! Most anticipated is probably Thirteen Storeys (thank youuu @Lin3han !)

I‘m looking for to #WinterGames2024!

First time participant, so I‘m hoping to bring my team, #ChristmasChapterChasers headed by @StayCurious , some points next month!

I am beyond happy that the #wintergames is back this year! I'm starting to get very festive already and this is always a highlight of my year

Thank you so much to @staycurious and @liseworks for hosting 😍

Lol that‘s a nice number. I had lofty goals! And then life happens but that‘s alright. Go #teamsnowangels!

Here are my second half of #WinterGames points:
9501 for Team #SnowAngels
@emilymdxn @kwmg40 @texreader @5feet.of.fury @sblbooks @msradiosilence @cogsofencouragement

1) The Salt Grows Heavy, which I‘m currently rereading
2) Easily Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi
3) nope :)
4) I truly have no idea what Boxing Day is
5) White Christmas here in Anchorage! I haven‘t seen the ground since October haha

#wintergames #wintergames2023 #wintergames23 #snowangels #teamsnowangels

Meant to post this at the beginning of the month when we first put up our tree. Do you spy the book ornaments? 😜

1 - Favorite - ahhh so hard to choose. Undoctored by Adam Kay was my favorite non-fiction. But a year end favorite I haven‘t raved about yet on here was The Anti-Hero by Sara Cate. Recommend for fans of the Priest series by Sierra Simone.

2 - Least favorite - The Boy with The Bookstore by Sarah Echavarre Smith ⬇️

#snowflakesquad there is another mini game for #wintetgames

1) PJ's
2) I don't usually go to bed until 2am anyway
3) I don't drink so mug?
4) Sofa
5) Neither, bare feet or socks. Can't be doing with slippers or high heels.

I don't like going out. Going out on NYs sounds awful 😂

@BarkingMadRead @Maggie4483 @Ash.on.the.line @Marmie7 @Nazgul93 @Crazycatperson @ImperfectCJ @faranae

1. Babel by R. F. Kuang
2. A Version of the Truth by B. P. Walter
3. A big family party!
4. We attended a friend's annual Boxing Day party, which was much nicer than fighting crowds at the mall.
5. We normally get a white Christmas here in Southwestern Ontario but sadly, we had a grey, rainy and foggy Christmas this year.

#wintergames #snowangels

1. This is super hard to pick! My top 3 are Sleeping Giants, Wanderers & The Starless Sea. Sleeping Giants probably wins as just so unique and I devoured it!

2. Ravished - absolutely dreadful.

3. Just chilling, as still recovering from surgery and not big on NYE generally (especially with a noise-phobic dog!)

4. Yes - but just chilled, read & watched Xmas films 😁

5. It was a very very wet Christmas 😒

#snowflakesquad here is a mini game to get some last minute points #wintergames

@BarkingMadRead @Maggie4483 @Ash.on.the.line @Marmie7 @Nazgul93 @Crazycatperson @ImperfectCJ @faranae

We have some #wintergames last minute points available team #snowangels ❄️

1. The first one that came to mind was Babel!
2. I read some pretty awful TikTok romances but I don‘t remember them well enough to pick one
3. Yep I do it with my family the English way 🍗
4. Rainy but very atmospheric!

Team #snowangels I am so sorry! I have to confess that I forgot to post the team game for this week 😞 I‘ve been wrapping up work for before Christmas and it completely slipped my mind I am SO sorry. We still have a few more days to play though so get those points!

#wintergames

This week's game has been extended until Jan 1st! This is a great little point earner and you can chill out and do it as you watch TV or trick people into helping you.

#snowflakesquad #wintergames @BarkingMadRead @Maggie4483 @Ash.on.the.line @Marmie7 @Nazgul93 @Crazycatperson @ImperfectCJ @faranae

Love this game where you can earn infinite points! See how many words you can get from the following phrase.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS WINTERGAMERS

It's nearly time for #wintergames to start #snowflakesquad Are you ready?

Sorry, I haven't been very active. I've had a cough for the last two weeks and I'm still pretty exhausted.

1) Something short, I've got a few KU romances under 200 pages

2) I'm working in the morning and then I'm probably sleeping! 🤣 I've got to post the #castthedie rolls

3) Wrapping presents because I've forgotten what I've bought people

Hey #TeamReindeerGamers Last day to get those #EarlyBirdPoints #WinterGames officially starts tomorrow. I will be posting the first game for week one in the morning. Don't forget to tag me with your photo challenges, your reads, and keep your eyes peeled for the #BuddyReads Keep track of those points. @Clwojick @StayCurious 🎄🎁⬇️
