Pronto library book (tagged):I have to read it in a week; cannot renew. So obviously that book comes first this week. A big help: I thought I was behind on Gilot‘s book, but I was actually ahead so that section is finished for next Sunday. 😃📚

Pickpick

This is a pick for me on the strength of the art which is dark & moody & sinister throughout. It is, however, very text heavy so it‘s not a fast read. Wickey has written a thoroughly researched retelling of the Salem Witch Trials, how neighbors turned on each other, how people were not given fair trials, how rumor, innuendo, & suspicion overwhelmed the truth. That story is juxtaposed with descendants of participants & the lingering trauma.

TheBookHippie Oh this looks so good. 2w
dabbe Giles Corey! How I loved and miss teaching THE CRUCIBLE. Now this one's stacked! 🧡🎃🖤 2w

PaperbackPirate I‘m working on my points and came up with a question. When it says “per readathon” does that mean 20 points for reading in 2 readathons or 10 points per hour read during a readathon? Also is #HauntedShelf considered a readathon? Thank you in advance! 2w
CSeydel @PaperbackPirate I think it‘s 20 points for 2 readathons? @PuddleJumper is that right? I was not counting Haunted Shelf itself - but I don‘t know why not! 2w
CSeydel Ok yes Haunted Shelf counts, and all the bingo cards, any Buddy reads, bookspin - all of it counts under “number of readathons” 1w

PuddleJumper @PaperbackPirate We simplified it this year so no multiplying 😅 2 readathons would be an additional 20pts and if you read for 2 hours that would be 30pts extra too. Readathons are anything so Haunted Shelf, bookspinbingo etc 1w
PaperbackPirate Thank you so much @CSeydel and @PuddleJumper ! 🙌🙌 1w
