Better late than never! My October #bucketlist

#scarathlon #teamslaughter @Clwojick

Most of my points for the first week of #scarathlon were from the word scavenger hunt and readathon hours. I also started watching Gravity Falls, which I'm counting bc it's always based on spooky stuff, and a lot of the time it does the #horror genre thing of using supernatural creatures to make a point about society! #teamslaughter @Clwojick

Easily one of my favorite books of the year so far. I love the mixed media elements, and the story is BONKERS, while still making total sense. A look at fame culture, human greed, and the positives and negatives related to the internet - all wrapped in an exciting scifi story featuring aliens and AI, and conspiracies to bring the downfall of humanity

Listened to this on audio, and it's basically just getting to listen to the authors have a conversation about the environment, people, animals, and why we should still have hope for the future. Uplifting and sweet. Jane Goodall is a treasure

Good brain candy. Great characters, fun exploration of culture, and a great time getting to explore India! And of course, the romance.

I loved this book! The lush, lyrical writing, and the beautiful, isolated, winter forest setting drew me in. The magic and mystery were lovely aspects. Had originally rated it 4.5 ⭐ on Storygraph, but I think it needs to be bumped up to 5⭐.

This one was just too weird for me. I think there was supposed to be a larger point, but it went over my head

This was my first book finished for this year. (I haven't posted any reviews on litsy yet this year, so I'm trying to catch up! I have fallen down a Storygraph rabbit hole.) This was a very dark fabulist novella about a teen girl and her father healing the town in their mysterious (and horrific) way. Its more fully about what we will give up to feel a sense of belonging, the sacrifices we make for love, and what love means.

Anyone on Storygraph? I just started using it and really like it so far! Same username as here, rjsthumbelina. Please add me bc I need friends 🙃

No bingos this year, but super close on most of the boards I played! It's always fun to try to tick off prompts.

As a therapist, I'm always in for jokes related to mindfulness! And the 'deck the halls' joke was definitely necessary for one feuding side of the family this week. #wintergames #teamgamesleighers @StayCurious 16 pts

Both enjoyable #Christmasmovies. Deck the Halls might become one to rewatch every few years! Watched these while doing paperwork at work this week 😉 #wintergames #teamgamesleighers @StayCurious 11 pts

I really enjoyed this! Sweet, fun, funny. (Overuse of some yucky sex-related words during the sexy scenes imo, but not enough to ruin my enjoyment.) #wintergames #teamgamesleighers @StayCurious 26 pts #wgwordsearch 114= 1140 pts

Well, I had hoped to finish 7 books, but finishing 5 books in a week's time is nothing to turn your nose up at! @Andrew65 As always, thanks for hosting. 😊 You make us more productive readers!

Wasn't a big fan of No Sleep til Christmas. But, the Christmas Cookie Challenge is unreal! Watched 2 episodes of that, as well! #wintergames #teamgamesleighers @StayCurious 16 points

These movies were both enjoyable. Father Christmas was kind of bizarre but more touching overall. Lovehard was cheesy, predictable, and fun.

I enjoyed this fun little Christmas rom com - a small town girl finds the love she had all along. I loved her dad and best friend as characters, and was glad it wasn't all about the boys, that other relationships held even more importance than the romantic prospects. #wgwordsearch 146 words in this last section for 1,460 points. #wintergames #teamgamesleighers @StayCurious #merryandbright and #dashingdecember 4 hrs=80 pts

I loved this book, but it wasn't centering Christmas like I had assumed. Very sweet story, and I loved that the problems in the story were very grounded and real, and the love element also kept me wondering how it would resolve. #wintergames #teamgamesleighers @StayCurious #bookspinbingo #thefestivereadathon #averymerrybingo #wintercosy #littenlisten #averymerryreadathon #adventathon #merryandbrightreadathon 8 readathons x 8 hrs x 10=640 pts 🔽

This wasn't an easy read, but it was worth it. A beautiful meditation on grief, family, and the life of an immigrant in the US. Read the second half in December, after life went crazy in November and I couldn't finish it with #sundaybuddyread. #WGwordsearch 560 pts
