mcctrish This sounds like so much fun but physical TBR pile is so out of control I might need to wait until next year and get my act together 1w
PuddleJumper @mcctrish I run them in November and December. I use my pre-existing TBR list especially for snowed in. I like having things picked for me 🤣 1w
mcctrish Oh wait, there‘s no mailing books? 1w
PuddleJumper @mcctrish Oh no! It's not a swap. You make a list of books you want to read and then someone picks books from your list for you to read 1w
mcctrish Oh I‘m in 🙋🏻‍♀️ 1w
DogMomIrene @PuddleJumper So I could create a Goodreads tag like “2024SnowedIn”, add books to that tag, and the partner would receive instructions to choose from that list? My Goodreads TBR is out of control, so if I could add 50ish books that are on my radar to a special tag, I‘d join this readathon. 1w
PuddleJumper @DogMomIrene Yeah, that's right. You can create a shelf or tag as long as it's visible to other people and then they'll pick from that list 1w
DogMomIrene @PuddleJumper Yay, count me in. I‘ll fill out the form this afternoon 1w
TheAromaofBooks Oooo yay, definitely going to sign up for this!!! 6d

Repost for @AllDebooks

I'm updating the spreadsheet we use to admin the @LitsyEvents page and share all your great events/games/buddyreads/readathons/competitions, etc.

It would be a great help if you could help me out by tagging the details of your events, hosts, dates/times, info about the group/event.

Original post - https://www.litsy.com/web/post/2752549

Cont. ⬇ 💻 📓 📅 🤓

LitsyEvents Additionally, if you no longer run an event, please let me know so I can remove it from the taglist.

Please tag me @AllDebooks or @LitsyEvents #LitsyEvents

TIA x
4mo
PuddleJumper I'll add you to the tag list of all my stuff. Do you want information about future events? I'm currently planning all my stuff for October/December 4mo
AllDebooks @PuddleJumper yes please, that would be a big help x 4mo

PuddleJumper #roll100 Year long challenge to tackle your TBR pile. Dice are rolled every month and you read the corresponding book. Monthly posts.

#queerbc A queer author is selected for each month, you read something written by them. Monthly voting and check ins. There will be buddyreads in October and December, haven't decided if they will be tagged separately. Information will go up the month before.

PuddleJumper #gottacatchemall Catch Pokemon by reading books that match prompts. Year long challenge. Monthly check ins. There will be special challenges in October and December. Same tag.

#castthedie Seasonal versions of #roll100. October is 13 books and December is 24. Same premise.

PuddleJumper #monsterfuckbingo 1 or 2 bingo boards for er monster fucker books 😅 Likey to be mini bingo boards. October challenge. 4mo
PuddleJumper I think that is all of mine. Hmmm. That's a lot 😂 I'll add you to ask if the tag lists. If you need anything else just poke me. I get this stuff prepped in advance 4mo
AllDebooks @PuddleJumper yikes, you are gonna be busy. I love ALL of these 😍 4mo
AllDebooks @Liz_M tis a pleasure. Hopefully, it will make it quicker and easier to check through the lists x 4mo
Faranae I run an Ultimate Reading Challenge (and companion Formidable and Modest challenges) both here and through my blog and on StoryGraph. Info here: https://www.litsy.com/web/post/2686930 This year's tags are #URC2024 #FRC2024 and #MRC2024

I run them every year. The idea is to widen one's reading, as well as tackling TBRs. I review the submitted books from the previous year on my blog, which is how I widen *my* reading haha.
4mo
AllDebooks @Faranae thank you, @Faranae That's very helpful 😊 4mo
PuddleJumper @AllDebooks Yeah, I didn't realize how many there were until I started typing it out lol 4mo
TheAromaofBooks I'm behind on Litsy so I'm just seeing this post 😂 I'm obviously still doing #BookSpin and #BookSpinBingo. I'm also still hosting my #RandomClassics buddy reads each month. I'm technically hosting the #ISpyBingo boards but haven't been posting about them monthly - I posted them at the beginning of the year and then fell of the bandwagon with posting the reminders each month, but it's still an active challenge that I'm planning to revamp but ⬇ 4mo
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) keep going in 2025. I have no plans for discontinuing BookSpin so it should also be going for next year unless life takes an unexpected turn!! That's all I have for now, I think. I try to remember to tag you all whenever I come up with new wacky ideas 😂 I really, really appreciate this account and check it regularly for updates!! 4mo
LitsyEvents @TheAromaofBooks that's a great help. Thank you 🙂. 4mo
BookwormAHN I'm still doing #StarWarsBuddyRead and plan to do another witch swap around Halloween. I'll post details in August. 4mo
AllDebooks @BookwormAHN thanks 😊 3mo
StayCurious I host two buddy reads: #LittensLoveRomance - we vote on a different book in a different theme/trope each month and read together, usually 2 chapters a day. I also cohost #InDeathLongReadalong with @LiseWorks where we‘re reading the in death series by JD Robb, one book a month, check in once a week. 3mo

3✨ This book had humor and raw emotion balancing it out. I liked the story and Patrick. The kids were really cute. Plus their relationship was so sweet as it developed. A lot happened to create drama, but by the end I was feeling underwhelmed from the hype I‘ve seen. It was hitting on so many different topics by the end that for me it just seems too much. Overall, a great read with good messages normal grief, and just being you. #snowedin

Roary47 @Clwojick @PuddleJumper This was the last one suggest. 9mo

5✨ I was completely absorbed in this book. Multiple murders presumably made by an elderly client of a care giver. Unfortunately, Kit has to work this job because she messed up last time. She‘s scared, but learns to help her client under Ms Baker‘s directions since the elderly woman that needs help cannot speak or move. Mystery shrouds this whole storm. I figured out some of them, but not everything. I would definitely recommend. #Snowedin

4✨ What an amazingly captivating story. Evelyn reaches out to a random writer to publish her life‘s story. The one that the public eye never saw from her famous actress career. While she did have 7 husbands there is more to her story and a mysterious connection to Monique, the author of her future book. I went back and forth on what I should rate it because certain elements in the end I don‘t agree with.⬇️

Roary47 However, it was an edge of your seat type of read. Plus the thing I didn‘t agree with I understand would have been the end result no matter what happened. #SnowedIn @PuddleJumper @Clwojick 10mo

4✨When I saw this book I knew I needed to read it. The idea that chess rivals could fall in love when you really can‘t talk to each other was interesting. It was done really well, and I liked the outcome in the end. What I didn‘t like was Mallory‘s self pity, and a few pages being full of cursing. While the author admits that she doesn‘t know chess that well it doesn‘t really hinder the plot. #SnowedIn @PuddleJumper @Clwojick

Final read for #wintergames - think my appendicitis was actually more of a help than a hindrance in the end!

This was bleak, but brilliant, a really moving story.
