#52Bookclub

I'm going outside the box for one of my reading challenge prompts this year. I'm working through a book of logic puzzles. I'm still reading, but I'm also checking for comprehension. I couldn't bring myself to write in the book in case I pass it along when I'm done, so I'm using one of my MANY little notebooks to good use. Who's doing something similar?

Which tag is everyone using? 😁

InkedBookworm13 I have volume 1 of that book, and it's pretty fun. Good luck with your puzzles. 😀 7d
mhillis That‘s so fun!! 7d

AnneCecilie I bought the first volume in this series and couldn‘t get past the first puzzle. Am I supposed to look at them as a sudoko puzzle? 6d
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @Librarybelle Thanks! Perhaps I'll join you on that hashtag. Now, if only I could get my butt in gear to actually review the few I've read.... 6d
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @InkedBookworm13 I had every intention of picking up Volume 1, but it was out of stock at the local bookstores I was visiting, so I figured Volume 2 would be a fine place to start. Good luck with your puzzles, too! 6d
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @mhillis It had been so far! A little break from just straight reading. 6d
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @AnneCecilie In a way, yes. You'll need to use the descriptions and clues to determine which person had which object and where they had it. For the beginner puzzles, each 9 square box should have one checkmark indicating yes in each row & column. Some clues will eliminate a pairing, so you can use an X. Then, you use your deduction skills. I learned these as a kid, so I didn't need to look at the instructions, but they seem OK. 6d
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @AnneCecilie If Ms X has the necklace, I'd ✅️ her box, then ❎️ out the other two suspects for the necklace. Other clues may eliminate an option, so you have to infer based on the other info provided. If you still have trouble, perhaps I can scan one of mine & email or arrange a Teams meeting to discuss it with you. The larger ones may prove more troublesome, but the beginner ones should be easier to catch into one you pick up how to do them. 6d

The Martian Chronicles | Ray Bradbury

Pickpick

I was happy to reread this novel with #ClassicLSFBC. The setting doesn't match what we know about Mars. However, in these stories, Bradbury explores social and environmental issues related to colonizing a new planet and raises questions still very relevant today.

#BookReview
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The first book I read this year is The Woman in Cabin 10. I had it on my shelf for a long time and finally decided to read it. I was immediately sucked into the story. With every chapter I was more surprised. I really did not see it coming. Especially not this ending. It was really quite a surprise. However, the story is missing a little something to give it a fifth star.

maich This year I made a #bookjar. For every book I read, I will put 1€ inside. We'll see how many coins I'll save up. 3w

I did the #52bookclub challenge for the first time last year and enjoyed it so much that I treated myself to the 2025 reading journal. Looking forward to filling out my #52bookclub2025 entries!

#7of10 #TenBeforetheEnd

#52Bookclub #AcademicThriller

I think this was the right book for the right time. A fast romp of a read that I had put off due to all the hype. Next up Rock Paper Scissors which will likely be my last of this list and the final prompt for 52 Bookclub.

Never Silent: ACT UP and My Life in Activism | Anderson Cooper, Peter Staley
post image
Pickpick

Self-proclaimed troublemaker Peter Staley was diagnosed as HIV+ in 1985. Shortly thereafter, he poured himself into the AIDS activism movement to fight an unresponsive government and greedy pharmaceutical companies. I appreciate here that he tells not just that story but the after, when he found himself miraculously alive, and what came next for him. Thanks for the rec, @TheBookHippie !

Hooked_on_books I googled air horns, and they have been used in music, so I‘m using this for my final #52bookclub prompt of musical instrument on the cover. I finally finished! @BarbaraBB 2mo

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I like the prompts this year, but I'm reading fewer books these days. I've been slowly chipping away at the #192025 challenge that ends on Dec 31, 2025 (or I'll declare it's a #192026 challenge) so I'm going to start the year with a focus on that challenge. Once Popsugar and Read Harder come out, I'll pick from one of the three to try to finish, as well, and plug in selections that apply to the others and see how far I get. 2mo
kwmg40 I'm planning to do this in 2025! 2mo

I enjoyed this story highlighting traditions of Hanukkah, Ramadan and Christmas all set in a small snowed in Canadian town. If this was a real place I would want to visit.
