Reading Challenge | Lesley Yates
post image

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?

#readingchallenge #2025readingchallenges

OriginalCyn620 I totally dropped the ball with this year‘s Pantone challenge, but if it comes back for 2025, I will do better! 🤪 21h

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 21h
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! 19h
Lauredhel @PuddleJumper OMG so many to explore! 19h
Jas16 I think that 2025 is going to be a challenge free year for me. 19h
Lauredhel @Jas16 enjoy your reading! 19h
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. 18h
Enchanted_Bibliophile Another one on my 2025 list 🤩 17h
Born.A.Reader @AmyG that's the one I need to do. My owned TBR is soo out of control 😅 16h
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. 16h
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!
13h
willaful Oh, I forgot @Faranae's #URC. 13h
Faranae @willaful 😭How could you forget my URC? (😆) 13h
willaful @Faranae I know! I've got a list a mile long of possible prompts! 12h
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 😭🤣 9h
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. 5h
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

Really good, funny how King was somewhat self referential on his 2nd published book.

Scary vampires take over a small town & it‘s up to a few characters (including a writer, teacher & comic book obsessed kid) to fight back.

I love a scary, “classic rules” vampire.
I lost track of some of the towns people here or there but it was a good read. #losersclub @BarkingMadRead

BarkingMadRead He really does tend to have way too many characters in his books 🤣 1d
5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead SO many. And switching sometimes between last name/first name throws me if they haven‘t been mentioned in a while… he was naming off the neighbors, I‘m like “wait, who? Oh well.” 1d
TieDyeDude I liked that everyone knew about the vampire “rules“ from pop culture, but couldn't be sure if they actually worked or not. I'm used to more modern, action heavy vampire fights, but this was a good slow-burn thriller. 1d

BarkingMadRead Seems legit 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3d
5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead I remember the GoT references in FairyTale & I was like “I wonder if they are friends” and I found an interview together where GRRM asked King how he can write so fast. …And I think about it a lot haha. 3d
Karkar I kind really wish this was a thing. 3d

I enjoyed this. I see what he was going for with the excerpts from news reports and hearings, but I don't think it was very effective, since it didn't really add much to the story and the subplot of trying to bury the story didn't really lead anywhere. I also didn't love the choppy editing to insert these asides. The story was solid, though, and the buildup was very tense. #losersclub @BarkingMadRead

BarkingMadRead Not bad for a first novel, but I totally agree! 7d

Carrie | Stephen King
post image
Mehso-so

3✨ Going in with a few spoilers I expected bullying, and telekinesis. I did not expect it to hit my feels as much as it did. Typically every girl gets her period around the age of 12. I know for me it was a difficult transition, but for Carrie it was so much worse! This plays on real feels of mine as a kid, and the worst bullies on the face of the planet. It has me thinking who was the real “monster”. #LosersClub

BarkingMadRead The bullying in this is insane! She maybe took it a little too far… 7d
Roary47 @BarkingMadRead yes, she was led up to this point but the teacher wanted to help her, and get her help. 6d

'Salem's Lot | Stephen King

November's #LosersClub #buddyread was a very atmospheric read. Very creepy, disturbing but thrilling read. It's my 1st time reading this and it's one of his best horror books.
I particularly enjoyed the nod to Bram Stoker with the epistolary record of Charles Boone, 1850. It certainly added more context to the longevity of evil at 'Salem's Lot.
