Ok people, the #Pantone2025 #readingchallenge is ready! This is a challenge based on the seasonal trend colours from Fashion Weeks.

Please note there are TWO grids - for London (blue border) & NY (green border). Later, two more grids will be released for autumn/winter trend colours. To play, just find a colour in a book cover then plonk the cover into the grid. That‘s it, you‘re done!

And, yes, White Grape was in both!

Repost for @Jess861

3 books that are written by Indigenous authors. Comment on what book you‘d like to read if you want. All 3 books, even though they are fiction, will give some insight into the lives and culture of indigenous peoples in Canada as well as how they have been treated. Indian Horse came out a while back so may not be easy to find outside Canada.
All are welcome to join. Let @Jess861 know.

Jess861 Thank you so much for the re-post :)! 24h

Both @JazzFeathers and I have been busy and not great readalong hosts so we‘re not starting any Tolkien new reads until next year. However, it‘s become a tradition for us to reread this book each December, and we‘d love to have you join us.

This is the same schedule as last year. Please comment on the original post if you‘d like to be added to the tag list for this book.

Montgomery's holiday stories together in December, and I loved it so much I want to do it again. Let's enjoy these cozy stories and chat about them as we go! Let her know if you want to join.

From @Lunakay

Dear Littens, I think we all have some classics we would like to read, but somehow new amazing books are released all the time, then some of these classics are, well, a bit on the chunky side and therefore a bit intimidating and in general there is too much to read and too little time!
So, who would be interested in joining in on a quarterly challenge?

Let's tackle those oldies!

Let her know..
