REG OPENS: Sun., Nov. 23, 2025 @ 6pm (EST)
#AuldLangSpine is an annual reading event, which technically begins Jan. 1 but there‘s a lot of lead-up. 🙃 Space is limited.
When sign-ups go live, you‘ll fill out a Google Form including a list of 7-20 of your favorite reads from the past year. I play matchmaker & intentionally pair you with another Litten (based on genre preferences, etc). You begin the New Year by reading from your match‘s list.👇🏻
monalyisha It‘s designed to be a cost-free way to connect. Once I send you the list, you put together your stack on your own (whether you visit the library or purchase the titles is up to you). This is a labor of love! If you‘ve participated before, you know how I feel about spreadsheets (in a word: EW). I don‘t make them for just anything or anyone. 😅 But it feels good to be able to contribute to our community. 💓 1w
