Litsy

Where Is Mount Everest? | Nico Medina, Who Hq

A peek at (part of) my physical TBR. My biggest goal for 2026 is to tackle this monster, and also to try not to buy anything on too much of a whim. (Some things, I know I‘ll buy because I have the rest of the series/have some must-buy authors/etc. But I‘m going to try not to just buy something for the sake of buying something.) So, here we are! 🤣 #mounttbr #nofilter #pleasedontjudgemeatleasttheyrestackedneatly #featuringthebobs

AmyG Ha, you are alot of us. 1w

actualdisneyprincess @AmyG I‘m so glad to have found my people. 🤣😭🥰 (edited) 1w

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I feel like if I gathered all my unread books from all their different spots, my stack would look like this too. 🥹 I like to savor the anticipation of reading them. 🥳 1w

actualdisneyprincess @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage the shelves behind them are full, and there are two other bookshelves in another room 😅😅😅 but there are worse things I could have piles of 😆 1w

Bonfire of the Vanities | Tom Wolfe

I read this one over the course of about three months,but finished in it March, so it qualifies as@my day 3 #12BooksOf2025.

Honourable Mention to Cold Comfort Farm.

lil1inblue Thanks for hosting this! I love seeing everyone's pick. #Mounttbr is growing exponentially! 😅😍 1w

TheEllieMo @lil1inblue it‘s been one of my favourite Litsy events since it started, so I had to keep it going, even though my TBR pile is probably already bigger than I could get through in my lifetime! 1w

Good Spirits | B. K. Borison

#LittensLoveRomance with over half of the vote, we have our seasonal pick - a twist on A Christmas Carol with some ghostly adventures. I think this is a neat premise and I‘m looking forward to it. We‘ll read 3 chapters a day starting Dec 15 and we‘ll take a break on Christmas Day in case it‘s too busy to get much reading in for some of our participants. Let me know if you want to join in on my daily posts 🎄👻

Detective Aunty: A Novel | Uzma Jalaluddin

Thank you for this interesting list, @DebinHawaii! I've read a few already and some, like the four on the right, you might have plucked from my TBR.

I'm looking forward to getting to them in January (and probably throughout next year).

#AuldLangSpine @monalyisha

julesG @BennettBookworm @willaful - it's a great list. I'm really happy about it. 1mo

LeeRHarry @julesG 💕 1mo

KT1432 I love this list!! I remember The Feather Thief being very popular and still need to get to it! 1mo

DebinHawaii I‘m glad you like the list! It was tough to keep it to 20, I had a lot of books I really loved this year. I just posted your list & what I‘ll be reading first & I‘m excited. @monalyisha makes such great matches! 🤗 1mo

Just curious... what reading challenges are y'all doing next year,? I'm still working on the 50 states, 50 horror books (50 percent complete); the past couple of years I have been slightly intrigued by the 52 book club challenge and I've knocked off a few new favorites I might not have otherwise... but I'm thinking '26 will be challenge/prompt free.As a mood reader, it's just so hard to commit!

TEArificbooks I have always done too many challenges and the reading starts to feel like “required” reading and there is no time for mood reading. So this year and next year I am participating when I feel like it. I‘m definitely going to participate in #USPresidents as I cohost. Also love #naturalitsy #themedcozies #foodandlit 1mo

vivastory @TEArificbooks As a mood reader, I definitely endorse mood reading 📚📚😀 1mo

Ruthiella I will definitely do #TBRTarot and #Roll100 because both help me read either what I already own or books I keep meaning to read but never prioritize. I will also do #ChuncksterChallege2026 and #AllergictoChunksters, but only when a TBR book happens to meet the criteria. 1mo

Dilara On Litsy, I'll continue with #foodandlit. I'll also follow #naturalitsy but I'm more of a lurker than an active member. On LibraryThing, I do the Global Challenge (read 5 books from every country - that's more of a lifetime endeavour) and an informal Nobel Prize challenge. I do better with free-form challenges, where I can read the books of my choice in the order of my choice 😁 1mo

julesG I'll do 52bookclub again next year. Also Buzzword's Reading and Cover challenges because they are very low key and still tricky sometimes. 1mo

vivastory I always see #tbrtarot .... can you explain it to me? @ruthiella 1mo

Hooked_on_books I‘m not doing any. I‘ll be following the TOB and reading those as well as the Women‘s Prize and NBA lists, but no challenges. Though I have some thoughts about trying to get some of my mass market paperbacks read, my own little challenge. I‘m a mood reader, too. 1mo

Ruthiella @cbee “pulls” a card like, read “read a book with a red cover” or “read a book by a Japanese author” and the way I do #TBRtarot is I look for a book I own that meets the criteria. If I can‘t find a match, I don‘t stress, however. 1mo

AkashaVampie My memory sucks... but if u haven't tried #BookishMonopoly yet, here's ur chance. Also make sure to cater to u and what u want/have. 1mo

AkashaVampie Also would love to see ur board if u do 1mo

AshleyHoss820 As a fellow mood-reader, I love the BookSpin challenge that @TheAromaofBooks does every year. I‘m still doing the 1,001 books. I also found, from some devious Litten, the Hardest Reading Challenge You‘ll Ever Do. Created by Qwordy on YouTube, it‘s a year-long challenge beginning on July 7th. It‘s so difficult, it‘s actually meant to not be completed, but instead to broaden your reading horizons. Happy reading in ‘26, no matter what you choose! (edited) 1mo

Kitta I did #LGBTQIA25 which is a book bingo that has a challenge on StoryGraph and #queerbc which also has a StoryGraph challenge. There‘s #ohcanada for some Canadian reads and I‘m going to attempt the #192030 challenge. I‘m also attempting the #vivillon challenge in 2026 (reading books from different countries based on the Pokémon regions lol). 1mo

Amiable @AshleyHoss820 I‘m intrigued—what makes it the hardest reading challenge ever? The number of books? The difficulty of the texts? A compressed timeframe? Inquiring minds need to know! 1mo

CBee @vivastory that‘s my challenge 😊 I just pick a card (I had a deck but now make my own) and you read a book that fits the prompt. I posted this month‘s prompt Monday 👍🏻 1mo

TheAromaofBooks I try to stick with challenges that are somewhat flexible or that I can use to reduce my TBR (which is comprised of books I WANT to read haha). So I've really enjoyed the #Roll100 challenge hosted by @PuddleJumper as well as #ReadorDonate by @julieclair who also hosts the #MonthlyNonfiction And @Librarybelle is getting ready to start a new five-year challenge #192030 as well!! 1mo

merelybookish I am taking a break from any formal challenges but toying with trying to read mostly Canadian lit in 2026. I'm thinking of aiming for 80% so I still have room for moods or book club pics, etc. 1mo

DGRachel I burned out on challenges. The only thing I will be doing next year is #bookspin and that‘s only because I like making the graphics at the beginning of each month. 🤣🤣 Well, that and it‘s so flexible it allows for space for mood reading and there‘s no pressure. 1mo

RaeLovesToRead HRCYED, PopSugar, and let's see what Book Riot's Read Harder is like! Those are the main ones I think... as well as Bookspin, Roll100 etc on here 😊 1mo

RaeLovesToRead I don't aim to finish though because I'm far too distractible 1mo

MaleficentBookDragon I love the #Bookspin challenge by @TheAromaofBooks. I've been doing that one for years.

I also do two on #GoodReads.
The #DustyBookShelf by the Challenge Factory and #MountTBR. Here are this year's links to check out-
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_folder/476813?group_id=55345 https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1256310-mount-tbr-challenge-2025

I like all these because they are to work down my TBR & they are books I WANT to read. 1mo

MaleficentBookDragon @DGRachel Me too! I have kept my Photoshop subscription just because I love making the graphics (yeah I'm a little weird). 1mo

DGRachel @MaleficentBookDragon It‘s why I can‘t cancel my Canva subscription! 🤣🤣🤣 1mo

AshleyHoss820 @Amiable I think what makes HRCYED so difficult is a combo of all the above! 😂 She has white prompts & purple prompts, one of which is set in stone, the other is more customizable. There are also SO MANY PROMPTS and many require multiple books to complete. For example: Disability Rep needs 5 (I think) different books representing 5 different disabilities. Check out Qwordy‘s YouTube, if you‘re curious! She does a wonderful job explaining it! ☺️ 1mo

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I'll be doing Food & Lit, 192030, and I'll see what I can get done with the 52 Book Club & PopSugar. I'm trying to read more from what's already on my shelves, and since F&L tends to need library resources, I'll do what I can without forcing myself to choose a book that doesn't interest me. This thread has me intrigued by HRCYED though! 1mo

vivastory @CBee I just saw your recent prompt. I 💙 Japanese mysteries 1mo

vivastory @merelybookish Your Canadian lit challenge sounds fun! I'll definitely be keeping an eye out 1mo

Murder Most Actual | Alexis Hall

pick

#ChrismasCrimeChallenge @RaeLovesToRead @Ruthiella

Chimney - locked room mystery

True crime podcaster Liza and her corporate financier wife Hanna want to spend Easter in a luxury hotel in the Scottish Highlands. Hanna planned it to rescue their marriage. It soon turns into a Murder Mystery Weekend with real victims.

Very Christie-esque, with chapter headings reminiscent of Cluedo.

RaeLovesToRead This looks cute! 2mo

julesG @RaeLovesToRead It's cozy, it blends the homage to Christie (weird characters with secret connections to each other) with modern true crime podcasting and marital problems of a same sex interracial couple. It was a good read. Different from what Alexis Hall usually writes. 2mo

RaeLovesToRead Is it only available on Kobo though? 2mo

See All 15 Comments

julesG @RaeLovesToRead Unfortunately yes. It was less than €10 in audio and the ebook would have been less than €7 2mo

Ruthiella This challenge is clearly right up your street! You are acing it! 🎄🔪💀🎅🏻 2mo

julesG @Ruthiella Thank you! It's an 'excuse' to ignore #MountTBR and #MountARC 2mo

RaeLovesToRead Sadly I have no Kobo :( 2mo

julesG @RaeLovesToRead Neither do I. Hence I got the audiobook and then downloaded the app to listen to it. The ebook would have worked on the app as well, but I don't like reading books on my phone. 2mo

RaeLovesToRead Ah, I thought I'd need a Kobo device for the audiobook! 2mo

julesG @RaeLovesToRead nope, just the app. 2mo

RaeLovesToRead Me looking for excuses to buy more devices 😏 2mo

RaeLovesToRead *buys 3 more ereaders* it's for the CHANNEL. It's JOURNALISM! 2mo

rwmg It's free on the KoboPlus subscription service. 2mo

julesG @RaeLovesToRead 😂😂 2mo

julesG @rwmg Thanks! 2mo

Cinder House | Freya Marske

Haven't shared my #weekendreads in a while.

Cinder House (ARC) - novella, retelling of Cinderella, but only loosely connected to the fairytale, includes queer lovestory and some spice 🌶️🌶️

City of Stairs (🎧) - it's been on #MountTBR for ages

Ladies in Hating (ARC) - two Gothic novellists w/ a past, w/ current beef, but also w/ chemistry, sapphic 🌶️🌶️🌶️

@rachelsbrittain

rachelsbrittain I adored Cinder House! Looks like a great lineup. 4mo

The Husbands | Holly Gramazio

pick

#Read100

My first finished book of September, I finished this one for #FictionalTraveler #September #EnglishSpeaking & September #Roll100 #77 #AnyBOTM Overall, I enjoyed this one, although it drug in parts. The unique premise of an unmarried British woman who comes home after her friend‘s hen party to find she‘s married & her attic keeps “replacing” husbands with no end in site. Lauren made some choices I judged & thought over-the-top but ⬇️

DieAReader, PuddleJumper, julieclair

DebinHawaii … then again, I don‘t have a husband-making attic so what do I know!🤷🏻‍♀️ Probably a 3.5 for me but it was fun & it is a debut so got me closer to finishing my #BOTM challenge. (edited) 4mo

julesG Your review is great. I'll bump the book up #MountTBR 4mo

DieAReader 🥳🥳Excellent!! 4mo

PuddleJumper 🎉🎉 4mo

julieclair It certainly sounds like a different kind of read! Stacked! 4mo
