Just curious... what reading challenges are y'all doing next year,? I'm still working on the 50 states, 50 horror books (50 percent complete); the past couple of years I have been slightly intrigued by the 52 book club challenge and I've knocked off a few new favorites I might not have otherwise... but I'm thinking '26 will be challenge/prompt free.As a mood reader, it's just so hard to commit!

Just picked up my copy of Still Life from the library for the #OhCanada read. I've heard nothing but good things about this series, including from the Librarian that was checking my books out!
I'll post a discussion point at the end of December. It will be a brief, high level discussion post since people are reading various books in the series.
All are welcome to join this bi-monthly read where we explore Canadian authors.

The #OhCanada Book Club is back for 2026 - with a cute little Beaver!
This year we'll start with some classic Canadian literature as requested. This is the Jan/Feb vote on which Margaret Laurence book we'd like to read. I don't read much classic lit so I'll be discovering new books as well. Anyone who suggested an author on previous posts will get one of those authors picked in 2026 for a vote.

pickYesterday was my first day of Long Service Leave to prepare for my ballet exam on Sunday. It was a busy day but I also found some time to relax at the beach. Even getting a little sun burnt! I enjoyed my favourite snacks from the cafe downstairs. The butter on the banana bread is divine. They do the most expensive but delicious banana smoothies too. Surprisingly I am tearing through this book. It was in my building‘s book exchange for ages.
#ChristmasCrimeChallenge
I‘m a little late for my own challenge! 😂 I‘ve settled on my pile of possibilities. Super pleased that some work for other prompts.
1. “Unnatural Causes“
2. “A Fatal Grace” #OhCanada
3. “Crime at Black Dudley” #HashtagBrigade
4. “The Mystery of the Yellow Room”
5. “Poirot‘s Early Cases”
6. “Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead” #Roll100
7. “Six Wakes”
8. “Follow Her Home”.
9. “The Quincunx” #10beforetheend
The #OhCanada November/December read has kicked off and feel free to read any book from the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series by Louise Penny. I will be reading book #1 (Still Life) as I haven't read any of these books before. Discussion will be high level with no spoilers since there will likely be multiple books read.
