Welcome to Litsy!

Excited for #auldlangspine2025!

Is it overkill to check out all these now? Yes. But it feeds my winter hoarding impulse, so I went with it.

I might (will) have to cheat and start Frozen River before Jan 1, because it has a list of holds. (I‘m honestly surprised I got it already.) I figure this is allowable because ~technically~ it wasn‘t on your official #auldlangspine list 😉

I am super excited about the list of fabulous reads from @Sharpeipup . They all looked so good that I am starting at the top! Thanks to #auldlangspine2025 for organizing🩷🩷📖🩷🩷

1. How to Solve Your Own Murder
2. Unreasonable Hospitality
3. Grown Woman Talk
4. The Paris Novel
5. The Wedding People
6. Ghostland: American History of Haunted Places
7. Out on a Limb
8. To Have and to Heist
9. American Sirens

Cheers!

This chaotic graphic is an accurate representation of my reading life currently, but delighted with @Singout ‘s #AuldLangSpine list. I‘ve read 1-2-7-11-14-17 and every one of the others I‘ve not read sound right up my alley. In fact 3 I‘ve had on my list. However 2 are completely new to me. Love all the NF! I‘m off to place library holds, focusing on the ones pictured. Thanks to the master matchmaker @monalyisha #ALSpine #AuldLangSpine2025

I just finished listening to this and loved it! It‘s a clever, snarky, darkly humorous whodunnit. The audio has multiple narrators (all excellent) and it really brings the podcast element to life. Highly recommend!

What a fascinating #AuldLangSpine2025 #ALS list from @JoeMo ! Titles in red are books I've already read. Titles in blue are books I already own, so I will likely start with one of them in January.

Title in green is already on my TBR. I'm intrigued by the book about Siskel and Ebert. Honest disclosure: I don't intend to read anything with the words “Donald“ or “Trump in it for the rest of my life, if I can manage it. 😖 So probably not #14.

@JamieArc thanks for creating this excellent list! I haven't read any of these. It looks like we both exchanged Percival Everett picks - I'm excited to read James based on the buzz it's been getting. I have some ideas about which I'll choose - definitely North Woods and Tom Lake. I've never read Due, but I just bought The Between last month. Also intrigued by #s 9 and 10. Can't wait to get started in 2025!

Okay Carrie, I‘m excited! And I gave you double this amount on my list 🫢🫢😂😂 (I can never narrow it down). I‘ve read #6 and #10 (loved both), but none of the others 👏🏻 I‘ll start with I‘m Sorry You Feel That Way since I bought it recently (have you read Our Fathers by Wait? Excellent book). Yay! @CSeydel

When @monalyisha paired me with @xicanti for #AuldLangSpine I was excited because I love seeing Memory's posts and reviews, we seem to have the same taste in books. This list proves it! I've already read and loved #'s 2, 3, 5, 6, 11, & 12. I've had 7, 9, 13, & 15 on my TBR so those will definitely be priority, but I'm also stoked about the rest which are new to me!

I love this list from @Mollyanna - it has a bit of all the things I love and I‘ve only read one of them! I will probably start with the 3 I already own, and I will definitely read The Ravenmaster. I may try to read the first five Phoebe and her Unicorn books this month, to catch up to the one on the list. They look like nice palate cleansers/escapist reads. Then I‘ll have to throw the rest in a hat to decide what to read next. #auldlangspine2025
