Unfortunately @Clwojick won‘t continue her #Pantone challenge but on Storygraph I found that Anglelist (not on Litsy) has created the #Pantone2024 challenge based on the release of the NYC & London fashion weeks.
I thought I‘d share this with you, for anyone who enjoyed the past years. Thanks so much for hosting, Cassandra!

Here‘s the Storygraph link: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/aa210f16-cb9f-4f3d-b941-47e5677...

I‘ve read this before but paid more attention this time. A few years back I read, then watched the tsunami book and film The Impossible. Surviving, then rebuilding after this kind of event is monumental. The village elder reiterates “We love life bc we live in danger. We do not fear death bc we understand that life and death are necessary to each other.”

I also finished the Pantone Reading Challenge this week. I had the most fun with this one! Looking for colors rather than Titles/Authors/Content was a nice change. #Pantone

Happy Wednesday! Happy July! Everyone is invited to play #wondrouswednesday @Eggs !

1. #bookspin, #doublespin, #bookspinbingo, #pantone, #serieslove, and some readathons

2. Tagged! It was one-of-a-kind, full of heart, clever, emotional 🩷

3. The Women in Black 😕

Just for fun I tallied up how many times I used each color from January to this AM.You can see Fiery Red, Cherry Tomato, and Blue Perennial were the most used shades. Least used were Andean Toucan, Pink Cosmos, and Beetroot Purple, which are some of my favorites along with Love Bird.

Cassandra, are we using the same color chart all year, or will there be a new chart on the horizon? Thanks!

This was hilarious in its eerily accurate characterization of husband, wife, pregnancy, and parenting. Fun🫶🏻

I wasn‘t sure I was going to like this book in the beginning. The 4 characters introduced in book one were kind of prickly and I wasn‘t sure I wanted to know them better but a little further in and I couldn‘t put it down. And Meena will not be forgotten. Thanks for the awesome recommendation @Amiable #AuldLangSpine @monalyisha #TBRTarot Done @CBee #Pantone #LoveBird @Clwojick

In book 1 Detective Royce Davis stumbled upon the world of shifters. Now, he's gotten himself involved with a vampire boyfriend and a suspicious case that looks to be revealing a dirty cover-up within his police department. Sinclair has spent his afterlife never settling in one place but now he's found Royce he's willing to stick around, but his past might be coming back to haunt him.
This one had some interesting takes on the vampire myth 🦇

You don‘t need to be a gamer to enjoy the tagged book as it is ultimately about friendships and family. It‘s about connection and sometimes how those connections fade due to lack of communication or our own faulty thinking. There is one story thread that I am not 100% on board with which I will mention below if anyone whose read it wants to chime in.
