My first three #Roll100 picks of the year! Now to decide which one to pick up first. 😅
Lie Down With Lions is a holdover from last year‘s BookSpin list. It went twelve months without ever being picked and now that I moved it to a different TBR list, it‘s picked in the first round. Probably a significant sign. 🤣

And the winner is! I‘m not surprised. When I finished The Vaster Wilds, I knew everything else would be hard pressed to outdo it. Watership Down certainly gave it a run for its money. They‘re both very similar in a way and I find that both amusing and comforting.
It was so much fun tracking my best reads throughout the year. I‘m tempted by other people‘s “worst of” boards too. 😅🤣
Thank you to @CSeydel for the original template I used.
Today, my precious grandson turned 1! We are celebrating his party tomorrow at the zoo.
5 joys Friday :
1. Christmas 🎄- felt like I needed this day to get here, but hate to know that we are a week from 2025
2. Boozie Eggnog!! This was great Christmas Eve!!
3. Cinnamon Vanilla Waffles with fresh berries/EggNog whip and Canadian bacon 🥰 - that egg nog whip is amazing (no syrup )
4. These dogs annoyed about wearing Christmas outfits
5. Reflection of me at Fogo de Chao because I did not have to cook dinner
Thanks @debinhawaii for creating this fun play-card and Thank You 🌺📚💝 & #TheSpineView 🐎📚💝 for the tags 🏷️💖.
1- Christmas magic🎄💝.

4- our Christmas tamales 😋💝.

It‘s time for the Year End #20in4 #Readathon, although in this case it covers 5 days as it takes in New Year‘s Day. A great way to round off one year‘s reading and have a great start to 2025‘s reading.
All welcome to play, aim is to read either 20 hours, 20 chapters or even 20 pages over the 5 days, or you can even set your own goals. To join just post your goal and/or books you are planning to read .

Merry Christmas from my little family!
Setting up my new reading tracker today. My kids don‘t arrive until next week, so getting ahead of that chaos! ❤️💚
Thank you to Daisey & Caitlin 🖤 I love the books and the yummy chocolate. Thank you Michelle for hosting the Jolabokaflod. Happy holidays - not sure what hot drink or maybe cold drink. Small hot coca bar or caramel apple cider spice or boozy eggnog. Whatever it is, do not disturb I am reading.
🥳Happy Holidays🥳.
To all who celebrate Christmas, may our Lord Bless your households with Peace and Health 🕊️💝 and may Santa Bring Gifts of Good Cheer 🎅🤶💝!
From my family to yours, Merry Christmas 🥳🎄💝.

We are rapidly approaching the end of the year so time to start planning the #SeriesLove2025. All welcome to join this yearly challenge to get to some books in our favourite series, no matter how few or many - every one counts.
Who is joining us, and if so what series are you hoping to read from? Both @TheSpineView love seeing all he series you are targeting and the series/books you‘ve read, so please do tag us.
I'm not trying to create a panic here, or suggest that the following is true...it is more of, just in case, this may be helpful.
A little while ago, I saw talk about Litsy no longer being available in the Android app-store ??
...and I freaked! What does that mean. Is it technical difficulties or is the Litsy community in trouble??
Again, not knowing what's really going on...I figured it couldn't hurt to do some Litsy advertising.

#ReadOrDonate is back for another year! It‘s time to do something about those unread books we all own! Each month, choose a book that you vow to read that month. At the end of the month, if the book is still unread, it must leave your house. If you have read the book you choose whether to keep it, or set it free into the world for someone else to enjoy.
