All is going according to plan!
Registration for this year's #AuldLangSpine reading event will open on Sunday, December 10th when the clock strikes twelve (noon, EST). Space is limited to 70 participants.
Once the form opens, you'll submit a curated list of your Top Books of 2023 (no fewer than 7, no more than 20). Follow this format:
1. Why We Swim by Bonnie Tsui
2. Foster by Claire Keegan
So, start making your list -- and checking it twice!
monalyisha Bonus points for appreciating my terrible Photoshop job. 😅 (Also, apologies for the Christmas-centric image but once the idea popped into my head, I was too tickled to let it go.) (edited) 1y
TheKidUpstairs 🎉🎉🎉 it's the most wonderful time of the year 🎶🎶🎶 1y
monalyisha Quick explanation of the event for those who haven‘t joined my winter cult: I play matchmaker and pair you up with another Litten (based on your specific taste, genre preferences, books you‘ve read and haven‘t read, etc) and you spend all January long reading from one another‘s lists. There‘s a big reveal of your match. No cost involved. It‘s cute! 1y

tpixie How fun! Thanks for organizing this event!!! Fun photo!!! 1y
Deblovestoread Yay! Last week I had forgotten your post about the late sign up date and thought I‘d missed it. So happy I didn‘t 😀 1y
BookmarkTavern Yes! 🤩🤩🤩 1y
DebinHawaii I‘ve been lurking just in case. I will be setting my alarm for Sunday morning because this is one of my “can‘t miss” events. Now I just have to whittle down my list to 20. 🤦🏻♀️ 1y
monalyisha @DebinHawaii Sounds like you‘ve had a good reading year! 🥳 1y
jenniferw88 Can you confirm that for the UK littens that it's 12 p.m., not a.m. that the sign-ups open? I don't want to miss it, but previously , I completed the form in the early morning! 1y
Jerdencon Looking forward to this again! I have my list ready ! 1y
Sapphire I will be in Costa Rica and this may be the tipping point to make me splurge for international data if the resort wifi won‘t work LOl. 1y
Sapphire Seriously, so much thanks to you @monalyisha and @CBee for such a great list in 23! Really started off my year and I still have titles I am working through. 1y
Sapphire I DO love that graphic! 1y
monalyisha @jenniferw88 Yes! 12pm (in the afternoon, mid-day). 1y
jenniferw88 @monalyisha Great, thanks for confirming! That means I start stalking your page at about 5 pm my time 😀 1y
monalyisha @jenniferw88 Sounds good! It‘s tricky managing time zones. I think I had poor @DebinHawaii setting an alarm to wake up at 3 or 4 in the morning one year. 🙈 Still working on finding that Goldilocks hour. 😉 1y
CBee @Sapphire I‘m so glad you tagged me, thank you! I‘m actually reading another book from your list right now and enjoying it:![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

BarbaraJean Yaaaay! Thank you for another year of my favorite reading challenge! 1y
Chelsea.Poole Love this graphic 😂 I‘m so excited! Also setting an alarm, even though we‘re in the same zone….because I can‘t be trusted with time. 1y
monalyisha @Chelsea.Poole Relatable! 😂 1y
TheKidUpstairs @Chelsea.Poole LOL, same-sies! 1y
Amiable Got my list ready to go! Had a great time with this match game these last two years, thanks to @deblovestoread and @singout ! (And to you! :) ) 1y
MallenNC I just finished my list! Thanks again for doing this. I know matching takes work so I appreciate the effort! 1y
Chelsea.Poole @TheKidUpstairs I can‘t wait to see your list this year! 1y
TheKidUpstairs @Chelsea.Poole yours too! I had a great reading year this year, I really had to work to whittle down my list to just 20 books. 1y
