Reading Challenge | Lesley Yates

I've signed up for three 2025 #readingchallenges already, and it's not even December! #WickedWords is a given of course if it's running, #ISpyBingo I very much enjoy, and I like the look of the prompts for #booklistqueenchallenge25 too. And I'll be running Four Fours again, hashtagged #fourfoursin25 this time.

What are you thinking of signing up for? Or running?

OriginalCyn620 I totally dropped the ball with this year‘s Pantone challenge, but if it comes back for 2025, I will do better! 🤪 3d

PuddleJumper I completely forgot about the Pantone challenge. #Roll100 #GottaCatchemAll #QueerBC will continue in 2025. I've also got a prompt maze #FrozenSick which is a whenever thing and #ReadYourDamnDanmei I think that's all 3d

Lauredhel @OriginalCyn620 I've just starting yoinking colours for a #pantone2025 colour chart, so if no one else steps up to do it, it will still be happening! 3d

Lauredhel @PuddleJumper OMG so many to explore! 3d

Jas16 I think that 2025 is going to be a challenge free year for me. 3d

Lauredhel @Jas16 enjoy your reading! 3d

AmyG I am only doing a challenge that requires books I own. It‘s out of control over here. 🤣 So….Bookspin, Author-a-Month if I have the author, TBR Tarot. My only exception to my rule is the Sunday Buddy Read. 3d

Enchanted_Bibliophile Another one on my 2025 list 🤩 3d

Born.A.Reader @AmyG that's the one I need to do. My owned TBR is soo out of control 😅 3d

thebacklistbook I'm doing a few challenges. For next year I'm still plugging away at read the world, the owls, #fictionaltraveler , and #tbronly2025, I am still deciding about #frozensick . I am of course running my #yuletidereads starting December 21. 3d

willaful Definitely doing BookSpin , QueerBC, and adding Roll100 this year. I love Four Fours! Will continue #BacklistReadathon and #TBRTarot if they're on. And finishing up #192025!

@Jas16 Do what makes you happy! 3d

willaful Oh, I forgot @Faranae's #URC. 3d

Faranae @willaful 😭How could you forget my URC? (😆) 3d

willaful @Faranae I know! I've got a list a mile long of possible prompts! 3d

mariaku21 I'm always game to do Pantone reading @Lauredhel amongst any others but I'm not thinking about 2025. I still have books this year 😭🤣 2d

BookwormAHN I'm not sure how many challenges I'm doing now. I host #StarWarsBuddyRead and I've joined #BookSpin with #ReadOrDonate plus #TBRTarot #LosersClub #AuthorAMonth and a few others however I'd Iike to Pantone again since I usually can match the books I'm already reading and don't usually have to look to hard for them. 2d

Lauredhel @Enchanted_Bibliophile Cool, I haven't seen many others doing Booklist Queen's challenge on Litsy!

  @TheBacklistBook Just added #FictionalTraveler to my list. The more the merrier, I can always trim later if I'm not managing.

  @willaful #URC I have not heard of before *scuttles off to join* @Faranae   

@mariaku21 @BookwormAHN I'll be organising #Pantone2025 over the next week or so. Stay tuned   2d

TheAromaofBooks Lots of fun challenges in this thread!! I'm already entangling myself in way too many buddy reads as usual 😂 I'm especially excited about once again trying to read all of Agatha Christie's books in published order, this time lead by @Librarybelle I'm also finishing her #192025 challenge. #ISpyBingo will be back, and I also do my personal challenges of trying to read the USA and read at least one book from every year of the last 100 years. ⬇ 2d

TheAromaofBooks I'm also joining @julieclair 's challenge for #FictionalTraveler as well as whichever #GottaCatchEmAll region @PuddleJumper chooses - plus #Roll100 !! I'm interested in the Pantone Challenge which I did in 2023 but not last year, so I'll keep my eye out for that one as well!! 2d

Lauredhel @TheAromaofBooks I'll add you to the pantone tag list 2d

julieclair @lauredhel I‘ll add you to the #FictionalTraveler tag list! Glad you‘re joining us! 2d

julieclair I‘m doing too many, but I can‘t resist! Several of the ones already mentioned here, as well as #LiteraryCrew with @Librarybelle , #BookedInTime with @Cuilin , #LittensLoveRomance with @StayCurious , and #RandomClassics with @TheAromaofBooks . 2d

julieclair I‘ll be hosting #FictionalTraveler , #ThematicCozies (will post about that soon) , and continuing #ReadOrDonate for 2025. 2d

Little Stranger | Sarah Waters

Oooo, so dark and creepy! It starts off cozy and then turns on you. A very disturbing read that has many possible interpretations.

#BookSpin #BacklistReadathon #10BeforeTheEnd Number 3

TheBookHippie She writes so well!!! 4d

ChaoticMissAdventures I love Sarah Waters! If you don't follow YouTuber Simon Savage he is interviewing her in January and having a read along of a couple of her books. Glad you enjoyed this one ✅ 4d

willaful @ChaoticMissAdventures Thanks! 3d

Little Stranger | Sarah Waters

I was a little intimidated by this but was immediately engrossed. Might help that it was inspired by one of my favorite books (though not a retelling, I don't think.)

#10BeforeTheEnd #BookSpin

Ruthiella What‘s the book that inspired it? 6d

willaful The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey. 6d

The Lost Library | Wendy Mass, Rebecca Stead

so-so

This was my #BookSpin for this month. It was only OK. The writing sometimes felt a little off, but I'm not sure why.

The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies | Alison Goodman

pick

I loved this book! Middle-aged spinsters get involved with freeing females from an abusive husband, mental asylum, & a brothel. Told in 3 adventures, set in 1812, a historical look at women‘s status in that time. Adventurous with some romance and strong women. This is the beginning of a series—yay! #bookspin for November

Read This If You've Been Ghosted | r.h. Sin

so-so

My November #bookspin ! I was pretty pumped when I found out that r.h. Sin was releasing a book at midnight on Halloween, but it fell a littleeee flat for me. Not his best. 👻

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 7d

The Wind Through the Keyhole: A Dark Tower Novel | Stephen King

pick

Soft pick. I'm always torn when it comes to this series. Shall I continue reading it? Shall I DNF? Then something happens and I ask myself, why did I ever think of DNFing. And so it continues. Loved the Billybumblers, as always, and the concept of a story within a story within a story. The rest was a So-So, and didn't really catch my full attention.

#BookSpin @TheAromaOfBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1w

TieDyeDude This came out not long after I did my first read-through, but long enough after that I am waiting to read it until I do a full re-read of the series. Most of what I've heard has been pretty average. 1w

Jari-chan @TieDyeDude I hope you're going to enjoy your re-read and also this book. But yes, I agree, it's rather average. 1w

The October Country | Ray Bradbury

pick

This collection of Ray Bradbury‘s short stories was just the right amount of unsettling—a perfect read for October! Bradbury is a master, and there are some gems here. The stories I found the creepiest were creepy for entirely different reasons: “The Next in Line” and “Skeleton.” I loved “Uncle Einar,” “There Was an Old Woman,” and “The Wonderful Death of Dudley Stone”—and honestly, those were probably the least unsettling of them all. ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) Other favorites: “The Small Assassin” and “The Man Upstairs.”

This was my IRL book club pick for October, my October #BookSpin, and my 1955 pick for #192025. @TheAromaofBooks @Librarybelle 1w

Librarybelle Nice! 1w

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1w
