#WeeklyFavorites

Jenny Colgan is a consistent “pick” for me. Reading book 2 currently.

Fable has this fun new shelfie feature I used to make this. I will admit I haven‘t gotten in the habit of using this app regularly yet, but I do like some of these features to play around with. The title and description are auto populated based on the books you select. Tag me if you make one so I can see yours!

Also working on my #auldlangspine list in anticipation of sign-ups! This is a little peek into my list of favorites for the year.

Between my #AuldLangSpine partner, @KadaGul , and #Roll100, I FINALLY read this Colgan ebook I‘ve had for years.
Neil the puffin was my favorite character 😁
I love Polly, Huckle and the rest of the residents of this coastal town. Book 2 is also a “rolled” book this month so I‘ll be jumping in as soon as I finish my current read. That will set up book 3 (a Christmas story) in time for #WinterGames.

#ReadAway2024

Finished my first November #Roll100 pick (#39 Any Subscription Book) & I quite enjoyed this unusual story about a young couple Lewis & Wren.who find out shortly after their marriage that Lewis has an animal mutation & his body will turn into a great white shark. It‘s sounds odd but it becomes believable & is beautifully written too. The story moves back-&-forth in time & also tells Wren‘s story before the marriage & her mother‘s ⬇️

I was really liking this one—the audio is fabulous—but then I suspected something would happen that is an absolute no for me. (I‘ll post a spoiler in the comments). I did some research, confirmed my suspicions, and then read spoiler blogs to figure out how this ends.

It was a really great thriller, but will set this to the side so I don‘t become very emotional.

Good choice, @LiteraryinPA for #AuldLangSpine , but I‘m too chicken to finish!

•REG OPENS: Sun., Nov. 24 @ 6pm (EST)•

#AuldLangSpine is an annual reading event, which technically begins January 1 but there‘s a lot of lead-up. 🙃 Space is limited.

When sign-ups go live, you‘ll fill out a Google Form including a list of 7-20 of your favorite reads from the past year. I play matchmaker & very intentionally pair you with another Litten (based on genre preferences, etc). You begin the New Year by reading from your match‘s list.

I had this in my library holds for months (back to January‘s #AuldLangSpine list!) and finally said yes to the hold when it came through (again) in September. It was so good I wish I‘d made space in my reading list earlier (and I wish I‘d reviewed it sooner as well!).

True Biz follows one academic year at a boarding school for the deaf, told in alternating perspectives (several students as well as the school‘s headmistress). (Cont‘d ⤵️)

You‘ve been blessed by Rainbow Crown Jetty! 🌈

He sends his benediction from inside the glow cast by our window prism, and would like to share that his human (that‘s me) has begun thinking about #AuldLangSpine.

Future posts will include more details (such as answers to questions like, “What‘s #AuldLangSpine?”).

But for now, I want to ask repeat participants: how would registration opening on Sunday, November 24th at 6:00 PM (EST) work for you?

Yep, I am still reading books off my #AuldLangSpine-list. This was last month‘s #bookspin choice and oh, how I liked it. It‘s one of those books that you count the hours that you can go back to it in the evening. I love fantasy-settings that throw you in and you have to figure out a lot for yourself. Also I liked Emily Wilde. So thank you @JamieArc for recommending me yet another gem
