#AuldLangSpine #2024
💙 I read 8 off this fantastic list from @Christine this year and have a few more on my TBR. My favorite Fiction was All the Sinners Bleed and nonfiction Finding Me but all 8 were excellent.
And as inspired by @Amiable my favorites from past years:
2020. @Jerdencon We Were the Lucky Ones
2021 MadDashReading The Glass Hotel
2022 @thewallflower0707 The Book of Longings (F) & All the Young Men (NF)
2023 @Amiable ⬇️
Deblovestoread Count the Ways (F) & The Family Roe (NF). I can‘t state enough how much I love this “swap”, so many wonderful books I might not have found on my own. So my thanks to you all for enriching my reading life. 💙💙💙 (edited) 2w
Deblovestoread I‘ve had trouble all year tagging Christine and can‘t again today so I hope you see this. And I think MadDashReading has a new handle but I can‘t remember it so if someone does would you mind reminding me and tag her in the comments? Thanks! 💙 2w
monalyisha @Deblovestoread I‘ve been using my desktop computer to tag Christine (she‘s my match this year, as well). 😅 It works if you search her last name in conjunction with her first. I don‘t think it‘s possible on the app, though! 2w

Deblovestoread @monalyisha Thanks for the full name tip! 2w
Amiable @Deblovestoread I‘m so happy to hear that you enjoyed several of my picks —and I totally agree with your comment about the discovery of fabulous books we might not have found on our own! 2w
Christine Oh yay, this is such a thrill to read!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙 Wasn't Finding Me incredible?? I kind of want to reread it right now. BUT, I won't be doing that, in part because I'm going to sneak in a few more from your list before the end of the year and am so excited to do so!!! 2w
Christine And ugh, my evil username strikes again!!! 🤣 I'm sorry! I had no idea what I was doing when I (lazily) chose it. (And yes, searching for Christine Crofts works when tagging, I think - thanks @monalyisha !). 2w
Christine Now I'm very curious to see @Amiable 's current and previous year lists, too! 😁 I don't know if I'll get to The Family Roe in 2024 but absolutely will eventually! 2w
Amiable @Christine Email me at AmyBF45@ gmail.com and I‘ll send you the list I compiled for my swap partner this year! 2w
Christine @Amiable You are so sweet! Emailing now! :) 2w
Megabooks What a great list! I highly recommend An Immense World. I still think about it daily. 1w
Amiable @Christine Sent you an email -- sorry it's so ... um...excessive. 😁 7d
Christine @Amiable Not excessive in the least, and I can't wait to pore over and respond soon!! (In the throes of end-of-term grading for the five college courses I'm teaching, but the end is in sight!!) 7d
Amiable @Christine Yikes! May the Force (of the red marking pen) be with you! 7d
