The husband & I have been off this week, and instead of going to FL as originally planned, we've hunkered down and had the most relaxing, chill week ever - and three days left to go!! I've been reading up a storm and have completed 6 books so far this year. None of them were mind-blowing, but since it's the beginning of the year, they check off so many challenge prompts 😂 So here's the skinny (sorry for the hosts getting tagged multiple times!):

TheAromaofBooks Sweet Tea B&B: #Roll100 #GottaCatchEmAll – Book You Own @PuddleJumper
#Pantone2025 – Limpet Shell @lauredhel
#ReadtheUSA – Georgia

Manhunt: #FictionalTraveler @julieclair
#Roll100 #GottaCatchEmAll – Fluffy Book @PuddleJumper
#ReadtheUSA – Alaska

The Story of Doctor Dolittle: #DolittleDiscussion @Roary
#192025 – 1920!! @Librarybelle
#WickedWords – Survivors @AsYouWish
#GottaCatchEmAll – Character in the Medical Field @PuddleJumper
1d
TheAromaofBooks Bluegrass Champion: #GottaCatchEmAll – Playful Character @PuddleJumper
#ReadtheUSA – Kentucky
#Pantone2025 – Yellow Jumper #FourFoursin25 – Random Fandom @lauredhel

All these books also went towards my goal for #JumpStart2025 to average 250/pgs a day (I'm actually way ahead!!!) @Lizpixie

And four of them count towards my #Read2025 goal of reading 100 books from my TBR @DieAReader

As well as my own challenges of #BookSpinBingo & #ISpyBingo

Mehso-so

Lora is still playing pretend and her friends are out growing that game. She meets Alexa, an imaginary friend/ghost. The story's theme is about being yourself, holding on to the magic of childhood. Graphics good, story concept good. Overall, a good read.
Cover got a few spots on #ISpyBingo !
Make a great day everyone 😊

bthegood I think the so-so rating is an #unpopularopinion. A middle grade graphic but the way it is written I don't think my middle grade self would have appreciated it as I was going through that awkward child to “adult“ phase - my adult self does. 6d

Nora writes romance movie scripts, and when her script for The Tea House is set to be filmed at the tea house on her property, she and her kids befriend the star of the movie, Leo Vance, and their lives will never be the same.

Help a Litten out! I'm wanting to get back into reading challenges this year but I'm having a hard time figuring out what Litsy is hosting these days. It looks like a few I used to do aren't active anymore. Are there any I should know about? (I'm planning to do #bookspin with @TheAromaofBooks and #agathachristieclubR3 with @Librarybelle, of course!)

Picture of my dog's dumb teeth for tax!

TheAromaofBooks I'm participating in - #Pantone2025 and #FourFoursin25 with @lauredhel
- #WickedWords with @AsYouWish
- #Roll100 and #GottaCatchEmAll with @PuddleJumper
- #FictionalTraveler and #ReadorDonate with @julieclair
and my own other challenges, #ISpyBingo and #BookChain

Have you checked @LitsyEvents ? That account does a great job reposting all kinds of shenanigans!!

Ruthiella You can follow @LitsyEvents for reposts of all the challenges, etc. Good luck! 😃 1w
AmyG There is #authoramonth @soubhiville where one reads 1+ books from that specific author for the month. #TBRTarot is where a card is chosen and you pick a corresponding book. #readyourkindle is like Bookspin but just for ereaders. Last two are with @Cbee (edited) 1w

MatchlessMarie When I have been away from Litsyland for a while I like to check out the @LitsyEvents page for most current things. But this is a great time of year to get back into them. It‘s hard to miss challenges since we are all abuzz with New Year wishful thinking 😂 1w

Librarybelle That‘s so cool, @TheAromaofBooks ! I still have a bit to go but need to tally up my readings from the last half of 2024. I love the long term challenges! 1w

Repost for @TheAromaofBooks

Whoops, already dropping the ball on posting the #ISpyBingo board each month 😂 Here is January's board!! You can play this however you like - I personally let a single book fill as many prompts as it can, or you can do one prompt per book, whatever you like best!! If you want all 12 boards for the year, let me know and I'll post the link!!

ElizaMarie Can you add me to the tag? I loved doing them in the past, but I forgot to look up the boards. 1w
Faranae Never fear, you'd posted January's board when you announced doing this for 2025, so now I have two copies. I think I'll do it your way - a book can fill as many prompts as it can. Keep it fun and low stress. ❤ 1w
TheAromaofBooks @Read4life @peanutnine @ElizaMarie - Check the link above and let me know if it works?? I think it will take you to the Canva doc where I made all the boards!! But I'm not completely sure if it's the right thing haha 1w
