StoryGraph 2025 wrap-up! My first book of the year was an #AuldLangSpine pick from @Librarybelle and my last book of the year was another #blameitonLitsy book. 😁 I‘m especially proud of #DoorstopKristin, my longest book of the year, buddy read with the #KLBR crew.

I had picked this one up a couple of months ago, and couldn't really get into it, and put it aside, thinking it just wasn't the right time. Turns out #AuldLangSpine was totally the right time! I whipped through this one in three days (yes, I was overly eager and started early, too @CBee 🤣). I love Chidgey's ability to tell the story hidden behind the story, the sense of unease and apprehension she lends with just a few well placed glimpses. 👇

TheKidUpstairs It was gripping and thoughtful, tense but full of heart, intriguing commentary on lives lived online, domestic violence, and our relationship with the animals around us, and a generous sprinkling of humour. I loved it. 5h
TheKidUpstairs My son is really into origami, so I included the talking crow he folded me in this pic - he knows I love a corvid! 5h
CBee I absolutely adore your review and even more, the origami crow!! Perfect 🐦‍⬛ 2h

Okay, so I‘d started this a couple of months ago and stopped listening. THEN it appeared on my #ALSpine list from @TheKidUpstairs and I thought, here‘s my sign to finish it! I‘m so glad I did. What a beautifully written, well researched, thought provoking, informative, emotional read this was. #AuldLangSpine @monalyisha don‘t dock any points cause I started early 😂😂

monalyisha I would never! 😂 So happy you loved your first book! 6h

I am very excited for this list from @BennettBookworm !☺️🎊 I will be starting with either the tagged book which is on my TBR too! Or ‘The River Had Roots‘ since it‘s set in faerie! I might also jump back into the Scythe trilogy. I read the first book years ago and loved it. I have read (and ADORED!) both ‘Yellowface‘ and ‘The Wedding People‘. Thank you for such a fun list and thank you @monalyisha for holding this great event! ☺️#Auldlangspine

BennettBookworm Yayyyy enjoy!! 13h
monalyisha I loved God of the Woods and Such a Fun Age. The River Has Roots definitely appeals to me — and the first book on your list, as well. 💖 Enjoy! 6h

Another great addition to this mystery series- Kendra is newly married and solving multiple murders with modern knowledge in Queen Charlottes England. Shout out to @Librarybelle for introducing me to this series in the inaugural #auldlangspine when it was #newyearwhodis (hosted by the incredible @monalyisha )

Librarybelle Yay!! 16h
monalyisha Sounds like a fun series! 16h

Happy New Year, all! My January #BookSpin list is working hard this year. It‘s got all the books I have in my possession from @Texreader ‘s #AuldLangSpine list and all the books I have in my possession for this month‘s #AuthorAMonth - T. Kingfisher, along with the usual odds and ends. Here‘s hoping the spin makes some helpful choices so I don‘t have to, *gasp* use my own decision making skills! 😱📚😍

Texreader Oh awesome!! 18h
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 7h

The Libby hold goddesses have spoken… My first official book of 2026 is this awesome graphic novel gem recommended by the equally awesome @JamieArc for #AuldLangSpine

Most teens feel the need to break away from their parents, but what if yours is a well-loved superhero? So much fun and the artwork is just stunning! Great device read on how it. Moves around the page too! 💗

JamieArc 🎉🎉. I‘m so glad you like graphic novels! And it makes me happy that you liked this one. I really liked the art as well. I‘ve started Murder by Memory and am a little fascinated by it - so unique. Happy New Year and here‘s to a great month of reading 🥂 19h
