Read4life Thanks, @AsYouWish 💙❄️💙. @Lauredhel Same 🤣🤣🤣 3w

AsYouWish @Lauredhel 🤭 I mean I couldn‘t make it too easy! 3w

AsYouWish @TheAromaofBooks @Read4life 💙💙💙💙 3w

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)? 3w

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! 💙💙💙 3w

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😳) 3w

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

If you guessed that the #WickedWords Book/Movie this month was Son In Law, 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!

CoffeeNBooks I haven't watched this movie in sooooo long! I might need to watch it again. 😁 3w

AsYouWish @CoffeeNBooks I am amazed at how much it still makes me laugh and it is one of the movies I pretty much have memorized!! 3w

And here's my November roundup for #WickedWords @AsYouWish

Every one is a graphic story this month! Gay time travel romance, Ohio cult horror, a graphic memoir by a Wuhanese-American, true crime nonfiction, and a charming spooky graphic novel with a Ghibli vibe.

If you guessed that the #WickedWords Book/Movie this month was Remember the Titans or We Are Marshall you were correct!

I read Remember This Titan a while back and was struck by the real life coach of this team and everything he went through during that year and since! He is quite the guy and I highly recommend his book. I have not read November Ever After yet, but it is high on my TBR!

That's a wrap on October! A real mixed bag this time - a historical fantasy romance novel, a YA sports graphic novel, a novel about WWII Navajo code talkers, a memoir of a 1980s nurse, and essays on crafting.

I read this book a while back and it was fun to compare it to the movie.

Less than halfway through the month and that's a wrap on September for me! Two romances, a YA, an art fraud mystery, and a YA sports graphic novel.

Pick of the month: it's the old one! Getting Rid of Bradley was a hoot.
