I made it!
After @CarolynM included this one on her #AuldLangSpine list, I made it my reading goal for the year to catch up with the Jackson Brodie series so that I could read it in its proper order. And I did it! So it's time to crack this bad boy open and dive in....
Actual photographic evidence of me, working on #AuldLangSpine matches.
My plan is to begin the process this Friday or Saturday. And my goal will be to finish up by midnight on the following Sunday (December 7th). Announcements will follow immediately after!
That should give folks *more than enough* time to start compiling their stacks — and even to add titles to your holiday wishlists! 👇🏻
pickThe short plot description of this novel, 'a mostly mute young person of unidentified gender or race with memory loss is taken in by a family in a small southern town' doesn't begin to describe the experience of reading the novel because of how we view the events through that person's perspective. Instead of Pew being the focus of a mystery, we see various characters spreaking to them in long unanswered portions that almost remind me of a play, 👇

This is my second year signing up for #AuldLangSpine I thoroughly enjoyed it last year, and although I didn't get through as many books as I hoped from the list I received from @DGRachel, I plan on continuing reading from it.
I look forward to the new list! Thanks for all your work hosting this @Monalyisha
Thank you for the reminder, @monalyisha for #AuldLangSpine 💕 I'd been keeping an eye out for it on Listy but must have missed the posts. All registered! I loved this event this year, so decided to come back for a 2nd year.
As it turns out, this is a slower year for sign-ups. Some years are like that. 🐌
We‘re just over halfway full for #AuldLangSpine2026. Remind your friends!

Loving all your lists so far!
I'm all signed up for this year's #AuldLangSpine event! If you haven't participated before, I highly recommend it. @monalyisha matches you to another participant based on a list you submit of 7-20 of your favorite reads from the previous year. So you get recommendations of favorite reads from someone with similar reading tastes - a really fun way to connect with other readers and try something you may not have picked up otherwise.
