Welcome to Litsy!

This month, I surpassed my 2023 GR goal of 125. 🎉In the past, I‘ve read significantly more than this but I‘m trying to make time for podcasts and such. Sitting now at 137 …. we‘ll see where I end up! #octoberreads

Looking forward to a creepy, murdery month! Thank you for hosting, @TheAromaofBooks 📚

Home from the Brooklyn Book Festival! 💪�

My haul: 📚11 books - 4 are signed & personalized by the authors! 1 was free! A few would fit for #Scarathlon but I doubt I‘ll get to them in time. Very productive day. Now my arms hurt from carrying this all back on the train. #BKBF

Here is my October bucket list for #Scarathlon. It is hard for my list to not seem like a summer list since it is still 90 degrees outside 🙃. #SpookyGhostClub @Clwojick

Hey @TeamCryptKeepers Here is another readathon #ReadySetRead @Bookwormjillk It's a short one of 24 hours #Scarathlon23 . Good for those extra points.

I read fewer books than average in Oct, but I‘ve also been making my way through Middlemarch, so that‘s naturally going to slow me down

My October #bookspingbingo card. Only 1 bingo, but 11 books read including 2 classics and 2 non-fiction. Looking forward to November! Thank you for hosting, @TheAromaofBooks 📚

Excited to participate in the #outstandingoctober readathon to add even more points to my #scarathlon2022 totals! My goal is to finish the books I‘m currently reading (Clown in a Cornfield 2: Frendo Lives) and listening to (The Exorcist) as well as start (maybe finish?) My Best Friend‘s Exorcism and whatever audiobook catches my fancy! #teamslaughter

We‘ve decided to take the month long Readathon plunge once again!! So that means whatever team you‘re on & no matter what you‘re reading/watching/listening to, you will always have this one to guarantee points!

Good luck everyone & best of all, have a blast reading great books!!

My October #bookspin
TBR to be posted next. These are all books currently on my shelves that I‘ve been meaning to get to. Can‘t wait to see what you pick, @TheAromaofBooks

Repost for @TheAromaofBooks

Oh my gosh, not only is there less than one week until October, there is less than one week until OCTOBER SECOND! Ack!

So yes, #BookSpin day is coming, so if you want to play for October, it's time to start thinking about your lists!! Several of you are more organized than I am and have already posted them, so sorry if you're getting tagged when you've already posted!!

Looking forward to watching the OGs especially (I‘ve never seen: The Shining, the original It [I read the books though] nor American Psycho)

🔪: 1

I couldn‘t wait to get started on my #Scarathlon2022 #bulletjournal. I‘m obsessed with my cover page! 🎃🖤👻🧡

Here's my weekly stats for #TeamHendrix. I enjoyed participating in all the different readathons in October and managed to finish 20 books, which I don't believe I have ever managed to do in one month.

Here are my results for October‘s #BookSpinBingo: I completed my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin (and also belatedly finished September‘s BookSpin and DoubleSpin!), but came up just short of a bingo. (I‘m so close—halfway through Clouds of Witness, which would have accomplished a bingo!)

Yay another Readathon! For #OutstandingOctoberReadathon my plans are:
An average of 3 hours reading a day
Get a #bookspinbingo and finish my #bookspin read
Earn lots of points for #teamhendrix

Thanks @Andrew65 for organizing!

I decided to go with a bit of a spooky theme for my #OctoberTBR. Looking forward to an eclectic month of reading!🎃

Giving this another go and make reading a priority in October. #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo

My list for October #BookSpinBingo it also my TBR for #Scarathlon21 #Screamathon #SpookOWeen 👻🧟�♀�

This will serve as my October #BookSpin list as well as my #TeamSlaughter #Scarathlon #Spookoween #Screamathon TBRs and any other October “thonsâ€� I catch along the way 😂 plus some side quests I‘m sure 👻 +1 pt

I‘ve narrowed my TBR I‘m sure more will creep onto here for #bookspin and also my favorite month for #scarathalon2021 I‘m in #teamhendrix with @StayCurious

I‘m going to be a bit crazy with Bookfair the first week but hopefully I‘ll get a lot of points and catch onto some readathons too!

@TheAromaofBooks

Just signed up, this sounds like so much fun! Ready for some spooky reads.

@Clwojick @StayCurious

All in all an interesting read, I've learned some new things. BUT I guess it was more written for students of history or people who live in Russia. The book goes very much into details, with names I've never heard of (and I've read a lot of books about the Russian Revolution), with discussions and meetings etc. etc. Therefore, I had a somewhat hard time with this book...

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaOfBooks

October was a good month! 👻 Calypso, Frankenstein, and Lord of the Flies were rereads and all (still) 5 stars. Elton John‘s autobiography was also 5 stars!

#octoberreads #octoberwrapup

My October reads (a few days late 😅). I read only two books in September, so the other twelve are from October. I‘ve officially read 110 books for the year! #monthlystats #monthlyreads #octoberstats

I ‘think‘ this is my #scarathlon (+ #screamathon!) TBR and suitably fits a lot of the prompts for the challenges; I have some backups too. My favorite season for reading 🎃
#TeamSlaughter

Almost done with my first book 💀
Does this photo count as a point?! @Clwojick

And even more October challenges! #poetrymatters #quotsyoct19

I have a feeling October is going to be a good reading month. Here's to a month of 5 stars reads! 🥂

The fun begins on October 1st! Make sure to tag your hosts, and have fun with it! Can‘t wait to see what y‘all come up with. 👻🖤☠ï¸�
