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?

OriginalCyn620 I totally dropped the ball with this year‘s Pantone challenge, but if it comes back for 2025, I will do better! 🤪 3d

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 3d
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! 3d
Lauredhel @PuddleJumper OMG so many to explore! 3d
Jas16 I think that 2025 is going to be a challenge free year for me. 3d
Lauredhel @Jas16 enjoy your reading! 3d
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. 3d
Enchanted_Bibliophile Another one on my 2025 list 🤩 3d
Born.A.Reader @AmyG that's the one I need to do. My owned TBR is soo out of control 😅 3d
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. 3d
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!
3d
willaful Oh, I forgot @Faranae's #URC. 3d
Faranae @willaful 😭How could you forget my URC? (😆) 3d
willaful @Faranae I know! I've got a list a mile long of possible prompts! 3d
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 😭🤣 3d
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. 3d
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 

3d
TheAromaofBooks Lots of fun challenges in this thread!! I'm already entangling myself in way too many buddy reads as usual 😂 I'm especially excited about once again trying to read all of Agatha Christie's books in published order, this time lead by @Librarybelle I'm also finishing her #192025 challenge. #ISpyBingo will be back, and I also do my personal challenges of trying to read the USA and read at least one book from every year of the last 100 years. ⬇ 3d
TheAromaofBooks I'm also joining @julieclair 's challenge for #FictionalTraveler as well as whichever #GottaCatchEmAll region @PuddleJumper chooses - plus #Roll100 !! I'm interested in the Pantone Challenge which I did in 2023 but not last year, so I'll keep my eye out for that one as well!! 3d
Lauredhel @TheAromaofBooks I'll add you to the pantone tag list 2d
julieclair @lauredhel I‘ll add you to the #FictionalTraveler tag list! Glad you‘re joining us! 2d
julieclair I‘m doing too many, but I can‘t resist! Several of the ones already mentioned here, as well as #LiteraryCrew with @Librarybelle , #BookedInTime with @Cuilin , #LittensLoveRomance with @StayCurious , and #RandomClassics with @TheAromaofBooks . 2d
julieclair I‘ll be hosting #FictionalTraveler , #ThematicCozies (will post about that soon) , and continuing #ReadOrDonate for 2025. 2d

#BookedinTime

I enjoyed this audio book imagining what happened to the children of Marc Antony and Cleopatra after their deaths. I did find my mind wondering a bit as I listened and it‘s the beginning of a trilogy that I‘m not sure I will continue. 3.5 🌟

I did not enjoy this book, possibly because it was so different from what I was expecting. I thought it would be a fictional, but fairly accurate, account of the Pendle Witch Trials, which took place in Lancashire, England in 1612. Instead, although it was based on facts, the author included some really wild speculative aspects to the story. ⬇️

julieclair The narrative was disjointed and hard to follow, and there were so many different characters it was hard to keep them straight (including a completely bizarre cameo appearance by William Shakespeare). The scenes of daily life in Lancashire were depressing, the treatment of the imprisoned accused witches was horrific, and the depictions of the witches' actions were gruesome and macabre. Triggers all over the place. ⬇️ 4w
julieclair I don't know if this technically counts as a horror book, as I rarely read that genre, but it sure felt like one to me.
Most months, my #BookedInTime selection is among my favorite reads. Not this month! @Cuilin #Pantone2024 @BarbaraBB

Cuilin Yeah I‘m not particularly good with horror. This sounds gruesome. Hopefully November‘s #BookedInTime Time of the Pharaohs will be more pleasant. 4w
