Sarahreadstoomuch I did TERRIBLE in February- hoping for better this month!! 2mo

AsYouWish @Sarahreadstoomuch no such things as terrible when it comes to reading books! The words stay up all year, if you find one in October that was posted in February, it counts! I have people still finding words from last year. I am very flexible! 2mo

Sarahreadstoomuch @AsYouWish 👍 very helpful!! It‘s such a cool and fun little add on to reading - love that you put this together! 2mo

Wrap for January #WickedWords @AsYouWish

Two romance novels, two SF, and a graphic novel. I'm not sure if my pick would be Love Laodice or This is How You Lose the Time War; they're so different that I have no way to compare them.

If you guessed that the #WickedWords Book/Movie this month was Love Actually, you were correct!

I know what you are thinking - ummm… Elizabeth that is only a movie not also a book! Well you are technically correct, but there are books based on the themes in the movie, so I am counting it, lol! Also I couldn‘t pass up the chance to use this movie because it is definitely a holiday tradition for me to watch it!

Read4life Thanks, @AsYouWish 💙❄️💙. @Lauredhel Same 🤣🤣🤣 5mo

AsYouWish @TEArificbooks Maybe….😉 5mo

AsYouWish @Lauredhel 🤭 I mean I couldn‘t make it too easy! 5mo

AsYouWish @TheAromaofBooks @Read4life 💙💙💙💙 5mo

Sarahreadstoomuch Ok if I jump in and start playing? This seems like a fun challenge ☺️ is it one word per book? Or could you use the same book for a couple words (especially if going back to past months)? 5mo

AsYouWish @SarahReads Of course!!!! Glad you found us!! You can use one book for all the words, you can use a different book for all the words, you can use an image on the cover of the book, etc. It is very flexible and you can use the words however you want. I also accepted variations of the words (love - lover, lovely, etc.) If you have any questions please feel free to ask! Everyone is super supportive and we all have the same goal - read books! 💙💙💙 5mo

Sarahreadstoomuch @AsYouWish awesome! Thank you! I‘m looking forward to it,,, I‘ve been watching the tag and seeing all the different ways people are completing this - love it! Oh, and I didn‘t actually see your response…. I don‘t know if you have a tag list for communicating, but I‘m the long @sarahreadstoomuch (and I‘m just now seeing how many similar names there are😳) 5mo

Kappadeemom I am currently reading about an art theft so this counts as art gallery!
