My word for the year is “control.” Now that I‘m retired, my goal for this year is to take control of my time and set up routines for all the things I‘ve wanted to do all these years but never had time for. I‘m looking forward to it! #JOURNALINGPROMPTS

Happy new year, everyone! I made a 2026 bracket template for those who would like one.
Each month, choose the best book you read that month and repost this graphic with your book added to the appropriate box. They will face off against each other until one is crowned the best book you read all year. There are also two “bonus” spaces to even up the matches!

📖 5 books from my #WaybackTBR. And I mean way back
Wishing everyone a fantastic 2026 reading year!
Happy New Year. This is exactly what we did for New Year‘s Eve . We stayed home ordered wings and went to sleep. No one stayed up till midnight (except my son of course) lol Chloe Okoye and Buddha were waiting for us to go to bed. 🤭
Happy New Year from my family to yours.
With my busy work schedule, I always keep my reading goal reasonable. I'm always thrilled to see that I'm able to exceed it. 🤗

I have soooo many books I want to finish and start for this #Welcome2026Readathon I'm working on, 4 I want to start. Let's see how I will do. Tag and join me @Liseworks
#Readathon
I prepared my #bookspin titles! I also grabbed a new notebook from my hefty pile and dubbed it my bookish notebook. I'm not entirely sure what else I'll add into it. Any ideas that don't require a lot of prep? Sometimes I get a bit swamped with work and can dedicate spread design time @TheAromaofBooks #bookmarkscrim

The old man was ancient, yet he moved with the ease of youth. His long gray hair swayed as he walked.
He came in his traditional uniform, black boots and red suit with white trim.
There was purpose in his steps, as he entered a massive room of marble and glass. 👇🏼

Anyone in for a New Year‘s #Readathon?
Join me for #26in26 - the aim is to read 26 hours, 26 chapters, 26 pages, whatever works for you!

I'm not a partying person on New Years anymore as I'm too old for that. I do love to read, though, to bring in the New Year. What say you to a low key #Welcome2026Readathon Dec 30 to Jan 2. A good time to finish a book or maybe start one. Join and Tag me @Liseworks

I‘m not trying to take over, honestly! Just care-taking for absent friends.
@TheSpineView and @Andrew65 have hosted the very popular year-long SeriesLove event in recent years, and I‘d like to keep it going, at least until the original hosts return.
Let us know what series you‘re planning to read (though you can bail on or add new ones at any time!), and tag us in on your reviews, using #SeriesLove2026
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!! Here are my bookish gifts from my lovely family! In the top left picture, the squares are coasters with Shakespearean quotes. The middle picture is showing the Pennywise shelf insert. The grey bag in the bottom left picture is a book pack! My family really gets me! 😁❤️🎄🎅🎁🤡🎈
Merry & Happy Everything. I know I missed a few holidays so here is love for all of them 🖤
Merry Christmas from Buddha. He is sick of me taking pictures of him. He is sleeping and enjoying another Christmas. Who knew this little senior dog would make it to 19? #seniordog #readingbuddy

It‘s time to do something about those overflowing book shelves! #ReadOrDonate is back for 2026. Each month, choose one (or more) books that you vow to read that month…. or else!
At the end of the month, if you have NOT read the book, it MUST leave your house!
If you HAVE read the book, you may choose whether to keep it or donate it.
Everyone welcome! Comment on original post to be added. 😃
As a witty news anchor, I returned to my small town for the holidays, inherited the magical bakery, and fell in love with a sugar confectioner! Which is very convenient, what with having to run the magical bakery, right? Free labor (he‘ll work for love, as any good Hallmark boyfriend will)! 😂😂🎄🎅🎁

Winter break...finally!!!
Exhausted is an understatement.
I missed the question about the fictitious movie title, but since I‘ve seen Home Alone a million times (who hasn‘t?), I‘m pretty grounded on the details. I went and looked at the “25 Interesting Facts” and was surprised that Joe Pesci carried his method acting to the point of actually biting a child! That seems a little intense.
