Wow! This year has flown by! Congrats to everyone who has finished November‘s words! It is exciting to see what everyone has been picking!

Now onto December‘s #WickedWords
- Holiday
- Snow Globe
- Ribbon
- Ice/Icy
- Glow

ANNOUNCEMENT: WickedWords will be back in 2024!! I am working on planning the words & trying to decide if I want to stick to random words or have a theme each month. If you had a choice (which you do) which would you like?

These are the seven books I have come up with so far as options for The Midnight Society BookClub on Fable. Now I need help actually picking, lol! If anyone wants to help me either pick or narrow it down, I would appreciate it!

You can either vote by emoji or tagging the book.

Thanks for your help!

I started a book club on Fable! I thought it would be fun to read books that could have been told around the campfire by the amazing Midnight Society (aka - on Are You Afraid of the Dark).

I am currently trying to make a list of books that would fit that criteria. They don‘t necessarily have to be YA, because I am sure the Midnight Society grew up to tell darker stories.

If you know of any or would like to join in, please let me know!

Thanks!

Wanna play a game?! Let‘s see if we can name all the movies that appear in this image!

Good Luck and Happy Halloween!!🎃🎃

15/40 have been named

Wow! October flew by! Congrats to everyone who completed the words or is still working on them! You are all doing amazing!

Can you guess what the theme for November is?! Yes, due to recent events, I went with a FRIENDS theme.

November‘s #WickedWords
- Friends
- Family
- Pivot
- Bing
- Thanksgiving
BONUS
- Read a book that was featured on FRIENDS (or relates to FRIENDS)
(I linked a list in the comments for ideas)

Good Luck & Happy Reading!

Which one would you pick & why?

I would pick either:

Camp Crystal Lake because I absolutely love those movies and I never went to summer camp as a kid, so I would like to experience it.

OR

The Overlook Hotel because if I pick the right day and get snowed in, think of how many books I would be able to read with no interruptions!!

Where oh where did September go?! Super proud of all of you who have finished and/or are still working on words! You are all amazing!!

Now onto October‘s #WickedWords

-Shadow
-Birthday
-Fall
-Criminal
-Vampire
*BONUS*
-Read a book that has been banned

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE - 3 more have been found to add to the list!

COMING SOON!

A Manor of Murder by Daniel Charles is a 1920's England murder mystery novel with plot twists that you won't see coming.
The main female character is very relatable, a little sassy, and very smart and driven!

UPDATE: If you saw my post yesterday I was trying to pick my next book. I narrowed it down to these two last night.

Cruel Prince has gotten the most votes from the people I have asked.

Sorority was not on the original post (because I had forgotten I had it, 🤦🏻‍♀️).

I think both are good options, just can‘t decide of course, lol!

Pretty please help me pick my next book! I have so many physical books on my list and I am trying to knock some out before years end (yes I know I still have a few months to go).

Let me know if you see something either you liked/loved or have on your list and want to know more about!

Thanks in advance! 💙💙💙

HELP! I won a giveaway for one of these amazing ornaments & I can pick up to 30 books to be included in it.

I want to have some sort of theme (thrillers or dark romances) or ARCs I have received. I am looking through my Goodreads & seeing so many that would be cool to include.

If you were going to have one made, how would you narrow your list of books down? I am open to any & all suggestions about this, my indecisiveness has kicked in, lol!

Wow! This book hit me in all the feels. I feel instantly in love with both characters and knew how much they needed each other in different ways. Once their secrets were revealed, dang it hit deep! I laughed, I cried, I wanted to hug them and never let them go!

💙💙💙💙

PS - Beautiful, amazing, creator of this treasure - I need more of these two, pretty please!!!

QOTD: Honey and Reeves‘s famed show was named “More Than A Memory”, if you had your own show, what would it be called?

Mine would be something like “How Unique” or something weird, 🤣

I must say this book was not what I was expecting at all. It felt rushed and so much happened in so little time. I love a quick to the point romance, but this was a bit too quick for me. I was also expecting a little more steam, but this was a bit lacking in that department. I will say it is short, so it is a very fast read and was okay over all, just not what I was hoping it would be.

💙💙💙

This book left me speechless… literally there are no words. It was incredible (as I knew it would be because Audrey is an amazing author)! I always worry about myself after reading her books because of how much I love them! She has a unique way of making the “villains” less villainous and makes you understand them and why they do the things they do. This is a good quick read, however definitely check triggers!!!

Good Luck and Happy Reading!

To be honest, I am not sure I was the right person for this book. It was very well written and enjoyable to read, but for some reason it didn‘t click with me. I felt myself confused at parts and trying to keep track of what was happening as the story proceeded. I liked the characters and thought they were enjoyable to hang out with and get to know. I would recommend this book to people who love a quick, dark vampire romance!

💙💙💙

I have mixed feelings about this book. I really enjoyed it and found it to be a quick read. However, it felt a bit slow at times and I wanted/needed more action. I though the plot/storyline had great promise and while the ending delivered, I am not sure the lead up to those events matched the energy of the last couple chapters. Overall I would recommend because it was entertaining.

💙💙💙💙

Dark. Bullies. Why Choose. All the makings of the perfect book, but sadly it fell short. I didn‘t connect to the FMC. I felt bad for her, but I never had that moment of liking her. Same for the MMCs, I did not love them. Usually I fall hard for the bullies, but I didn‘t get the bully vibe from them - stalker yes. They just didn‘t hit the mark for me. Overall it was well written & kept me reading, but would not be a reread for me.

💙💙💙

I was not fully expecting that. I mean I knew, but I didn‘t know, but I did know, you know?! Wait, do you want to know too? Then you are in the right place, if you love twists & turns & unexpected secrets to pop up out of nowhere! I loved this book & could not put it down. I was shocked by how quickly things were pieced together & then shattered on the next page. Highly recommend, but beware the skeletons in the… well read & find out!

💙💙💙💙

WTF did I just read?! So many thought racing through my head right now. I had a like/dislike relationship with this book for many reasons. The plot had a lot of promise, but parts dragged on a bit for me & while I cheered for the main character, I have no idea why because I didn‘t love her. Overall it was an okay book, but not a book I would reread.

💙💙💙

PS - Taylor Adams if you ever see my review, please don‘t stalk & kill me! Okay. Thanks!

Second book of the month done! Anyone want to help me pick the next book? Which line jumps out at you? Which one sounds amazing? Let me know!

Also, if you have not seen I posted about interest in Buddy Reads. No pressure, just trying to get the word out! Please comment on that post if you are interested (still trying to figure out details, but want to get an idea of interest).

💙💙💙

Book 2 was the winner for my second book of the month! The book was The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins! I am so excited to read this one! Thank you to everyone who voted and selected this book for me! 💙💙💙

I have a crazy idea & still trying to work out the details so no one feels overwhelmed! I love buddy reads & I have not done any in so long! I would love to get back into doing them. I started going through my books that I want to read & so far have come up with about 35 (this is no where near all of them)!

I just wanted to get a feel for if there would be any interest in buddy reading any of these books. If not, no worries!

💙💙💙

First book of the month done! Anyone want to help me pick the next book? Which line jumps out at you? Which one sounds amazing? Let me know!

Also, I have had a few people ask me if they could use this format to have others pick books for them? The answer is YES!!! Of course, use it, I want to see the amazing first lines in other people‘s books too!

💙💙💙

I know you all have been on the edge of your seats waiting to see what book you had all chosen for me to read! Book 4 won and it was Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins! Super excited to read this one! Thank you all who voted and played along! 💙💙💙

Here is the next round of: Which Book Should AsYouWish/Elizabeth Read Based on the First Sentence?

Which line jumps out at you?

Super excited about all these options, can‘t wait to see what gets picked! You can pick one or you can put them in order, I am open to all methods!

Thanks!! 💙💙💙💙

STOP READING THE BOOK YOU ARE READING! You need to get a copy of this one & push it to the top of your pile! When I tell you I could not put it down! There were twists & turns until the last page, that I was not expecting. Every time I thought I had it figured out, I was thrown a piece of information that made me forget everything I thought I knew! I could rave about this book for days & it still would not be enough! Highly Recommended!

💙💙💙💙

I got some awesome book mail today! Thank you so much @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I am so excited to read this book! You were so sweet to send me all the cute stickers, bookmark and notebook, I love them. 💙💙💙

#LitsyLove #LitsyLoveReads

Time for the last round of which ARC should I read next?! Which of these lines strikes you? Which one makes you say AsYouWish/Elizabeth needs to read this book right now?

Can‘t wait to see the order of the last two books! Super excited!

Thanks!!💙💙💙

Oh my stars! Where did June go?! Congrats to everyone who finished June‘s words! We have a few days left if you are still working on them. Remember there is no timeline, finish the words when ever you find them!

Now for July‘s #WickedWords
-Revolution
-England/UK/Great Britain
-Independence
-Villain
-Colonel
*Dragoon* - BONUS WORD

Yes, this month there is a bonus word! It was originally on the list, but felt it would be too challenging!

WOW! Looks like book 2 won by a landslide! Super excited to dive into this one! Then there are only two ARCs left before diving into my TBR pile and latest buys! May have to keep doing these first lines, because I don‘t know about you, but I am having fun having other people pick books for me to read!

Thanks to everyone who voted! See you again soon for the last vote!! 💙💙💙

“Josie, who‘d be covered in blood on the bathroom tiles in nine months‘ time…” with this amazing opening line, I was hooked. I needed to know who Josie was & why she would be covered in blood in nine months (not for the reason I was originally guessing)! This book had twists & turns I was not expecting & I really felt like I was there. Advertised as a cross between Almost Famous & Daisy Jones & the Six, this book did not disappoint!

💙💙💙💙

Time for the next round of Which ARC Should I Read Next?! Please vote in the comments. You are all doing a fabulous job of picking books and I am so very grateful for your help! I may have to do this again for the five new books I just got when I get through the ARCs.

Thank you all! 💙💙💙

Looks like Book 1, was the winner! Super excited to read this one! Thank you for voting and helping me knock these ARCs off my list! Just bought 5 new/new to me books and bought a whole series a couple months ago, so need to get these finished up first!

💙💙💙

Gerry the beloved patriarch of the Williams family has passed away and his loved ones and friends have come together to celebrate his life. When his best friend takes the podium to give a loving eulogy, he ends up revealing Gerry‘s biggest secret. As the family reels, they soon discover that they are all hiding secrets and some may change things for the family forever.

I really enjoyed this book and couldn‘t put it down. Recommend!

💙💙💙

Time for the next round of which ARC should I read next?! Which line strikes you? Which one can you not wait to know what it is? Again all look super good, I just can‘t pick what order to read them in. You can vote for one or you can put them in order, I am open to all suggestions!

Thanks! Can‘t wait to see what my next read will be! 💙💙💙
