March‘s numbers are 2 and 17 so poetry and romantic suspense
@TheAromaofBooks #bookspin #doublespin
I really do enjoy reading middle grade graphic novels 😊This was one of my February #BookSpin books
#ReadAway2024
This was a fun read. I have to say Nina was tad unlikeable during some parts because she‘s kind of a snob towards non-readers 😆
#ReadAway2024
#BookSpin
I replaced the numbers used for January.
February‘s #BookSpin picks are #13 contemporary fiction and #2 graphic novel
@TheAromaofBooks
My first manga! This series was recommended to me since I like mysteries and thrillers and I enjoyed it. The main character is a little cocky though
#SeriesLove2024
#ReadAway2024
Only finished one of my BookSpin books last month, was almost done with the second one but couldn‘t finish by 1/31
Starter Villain was a fun read. I listened to the audio and Will Wheaton was the narrator.
#BookSpin
Loved this one!
#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024
I‘m doing a re-read of the earlier books in this series since it‘s been many years since I‘ve read them, but this is this most recent release. #27 in the Kay Scarpetta series
#ReadAway2024
#SeriesLove2024
Making my way through the Lucas Davenport series. When I started this series years ago, I think I started with book 11 or 12. Night Prey is #6

Forgot to post that I‘m doing this readathon. I‘m participating in a bunch of reading challenges this year so I‘m using the #ReadAway2024 Readathon for any books I use for a reading challenge 😊
@Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES
My friend recommended this one and I enjoyed it. Graphic novel about finding inner peace.
#ReadAway2024
@Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES
I have so many other book lists going I went the more informal route for #bookspin
So picks for this month are #6 YA #11 sci-fi
@TheAromaofBooks
The book series for Rizzoli & Isles has quite a few differences when compared to the TV show but I‘m still enjoying them.
#ReadAway2024 @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES
#SeriesLove2024 @TheSpineView
First book of 2024! Short novella about two exes who have to go find an old woman who has somehow got lost in an IKEA-like multiverse. I‘m trying not to use novellas for my reading challenges but the Book Riot Read Harder Challenge specifically has a prompt for a sci-fi novella so this title fits that prompt.

Happy New Year!
My points for the second half of Winter Games: 22, 685. Much better than the first half but still pretty low compared to others 😆 I enjoyed the game and appreciate all the work that goes in to setting up everything.

I‘m old now so it‘s all about comfort for me 🤣
🪩 Pajamas
🪩 Stay up
🪩 Mug
🪩 Couch

these days, my typical New Year‘s Eve plans consist of snacks and binge watching TV series or movies. I‘ll usually be multitasking with prepping my planners for the new year as well.

#RestingGrinchFace #WinterGames
1) I have so many favorites for this year! Here are a few: All the Sinners Bleed by S.A. Cosby, Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver, The Weight of Blood by Tiffany D. Jackson
2) The Island by Adrian McKinty and The Children of Red Peak by Craig DiLouie
3) Setting up my 2024 reading journal 😊
4) Nope
5) Eh, I guess it was greenish brown? Lol. No snow in my area in California
#RestingGrinchFace #WinterGames
I started this early in the week and then forgot about it so I only found 100 words 🤦🏾♀️. Better than nothing I guess

I made these the other day and while they didn‘t come out nearly as pretty as the picture from the blog, they tasted good!
Chewy Christmas Snickerdoodles from Half Baked Harvest

Loved this one so much! I am excited the sequel comes out right after Christmas.

Day 3 - Favorite Holiday Song - Merry Christmas Baby by Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band. I didn‘t fully appreciate this song until I was an adult. I love it!

I had many favorites this month!
The Weight of Blood - Tiffany D. Jackson (YA)
Two Tribes - Emily Bowen Cohen (Middle Grade Graphic Novel)
Healer of the Water Monster - Brian Young (I highly recommend the audio) (Middle Grade)
Curlfriends: New in Town - Sharee Miller (Middle Grade Graphic Novel)
Least favorite: The Children of Red Peak - Craig DiLouie
1) I work tomorrow but I get off early so I‘ll either come home and read or watch a Disney Christmas movie
2) There are a couple books I didn‘t get to from my TBR for this month so I‘m going to start with those first. First book is Winter Prey by John Sandford
@Julsmarshall @katiekat311 @Bookworm54 @AmandaBlaze @tdrosebud @Coueriamb @Sarahreadstoomuch
#RestingGrinchFace #WinterGames
1) I don‘t really have any special holiday traditions unless drinking eggnog counts?
2) Games, new books to add to my TBR, and watching holiday cartoons
3) My kindle, comfy reading chair, dog, and snacks 😊

I‘m still figuring out my #wintergames TBR but wanted to post what I had so far so I could get some early bird points. I‘m not a huge Christmas book reader, but I do plan on reading at least one of the team reads. You‘re a Mean One, Matthew Prince looks fun. If you have any Christmasy mysteries or thrillers you recommend, send them my way!

I gave this movie a second chance today, and I enjoyed it this time around 😊

7 episodes of the new Goosebumps to add points to my #scarathlon score.
Hopefully I‘m not wrong but it should be 10pts each since this show is based off a book? Is that right @StayCurious ?
I ended up finding 18 words in 3 min — I hate working under pressure 🤣🤣
