pickWhat a fun way to experience my favorite Shakespeare play! The art style is charming (but all the characters are weirdly sexy) and the modern English version was interesting to experience. This would definitely be a good companion for anyone having a bit of trouble understanding the story in its original form. #Manga #Classics
pickTake a deep dive into different aspects of bird intelligence. I enjoyed learning about many birds native to my area from blue jays and chikadees to crows, and many I am not familiar with as well. The author takes a look at intelligence in birds' natural habitats, as well as intelligence shown for human purposes. #Birds #Nature #Nonfiction
pickA girl and her scientist guardian travel around making medicine from monarch butterfly scales to survive against a sun sickness that wiped out Earth's mammal populations. This was one of my library's community reads this year and I really enjoyed it. The art is beautiful, the characters are delightful, and the world is vividly imagined. Loved Elvie's journaling throughout, and they even stop at nearby Cave of the Winds! 🤩 #Nature #Comics
@PuddleJumper - Well, throughout the day today I FINALLY got caught up entering all my #GottaCatchEmAll prompts!!! For the first time since like... April 😂 I actually only have three left to catch (five prompts) so I am feeling optimistic about completing the challenge!! Thank you for hosting - I really enjoy this challenge, even when I'm bad at posting!!
I read all my #CasttheDie picks. Completed spooky #GottaCatchemAll and then nearly completed #AfterDarkBingo and #BodyCountBingo
I do Trick or Treatathon on Discord too and completed one big board and nearly completed a small board
#HauntedShelf #RestlessSpirits
So many books read and Pokemon caught for #GottaCatchemAll
What prompts have you got left? I just need a pink cover and I'm done!
We're getting to the end of 2025! We will be back in 2026 with another challenge this time set in the Kalos region and a new Vivillon challenge
pickAnother fun continuation of this story. I am enjoying seeing the characters slowly grow through their relationships. I wish we saw a little more growth through their music like we did in the first two volumes, but that's my only tiff. #LGBTQIA #Manga
pickThis felt very different from the other L. M. Montgomery books I've read -- a very sharp critique of societal norms in an entertaining story with glorious descriptions of the Muskoka region in Ontario.

pickActivist and advocate Alecia Weigel shares about her experiences as an intersex woman and talks extensively about the inequities intersex people face, especially in medical practice. A thoughtful read, and a good place to start if you are not familiar with the issues intersex folks face. Content warnings for medical mispractice, sexual assault, and gaslighting. #LGBTQIA #Intersex #Memoir
