So I‘m not fond of the smell of manure 😑, BUT I do love the smell of dirt, earth, and grass… *sigh* #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

ImperfectCJ When I lived in North Carolina, the tap water in Chapel Hill had a very earthy flavor that people described as "fecund," which is how I learned this word. It always makes me think of frogs (and tadpoles) for some reason. 6d
CBee @ImperfectCJ I believe I‘ve tasted water like that, it‘s interesting 😂 Believe it or not, I actually like the algae smell too and associate it with frogs and tadpoles 😊 6d
dabbe It's definitely a one-of-a-kind aroma! 🤩😍😃 5d
LiseWorks I live in farm country, and yes, the spread of manure is often here.And depending on the wind, folks around here decide when to put the laundry out. Lol and the corn fields are beautiful! 5d
CBee @LiseWorks 😊😊 5d

I really enjoyed this! #readwithkindle #february

AmyG I am reading The Women….fabulous. 7d
CBee @AmyG good to hear! I‘ve only read two of her books including this one. Such a powerful story! 7d
Crazeedi @CBee I've enjoyed all her books, she's basically a go to author 6d
CBee I‘m going to use this for #bookspin since the drawn numbers were both #readyourkindle choices 👏🏻 @TheAromaofBooks 6d

This was GREAT. I felt the atmosphere, the tension, the love, the uncertainty. Absolutely LOVED the ending. Thanks for putting this on my radar, @BarbaraBB 😘😊

Prairiegirl_reading I had this on my tbr but decided for some reason to take it off. I keep seeing it and always think that it sounds good. Why would I have removed it? Is it violent? (edited) 1w
CindyMyLifeIsLit I just read this! It turned out differently than I expected (a good thing!). My only criticism is that although I understand the emotion that prompted the dad to adopt that lifestyle, I couldn‘t help but think of what an unfair situation it was for his daughter. 1w
BarbaraBB Very happy you loved it too! 🩷 1w

CBee @Prairiegirl_reading I wouldn‘t say it‘s violent. A few violent moments but it didn‘t turn me off, and I‘m squeamish about that stuff. 1w
CBee @CindyMyLifeIsLit oh, I agree! I thought it was unfair too. I don‘t think he could see that he had any other choice though - his judgement was very clouded. 1w

Still riding on my mythology high after reading A Thousand Ships, apparently 😂😂 So here is my #weirdwordwednesday choice and even better, an article with examples of katabases (I believe that‘s the plural). Does anybody else want to slap Orpheus? Dude had one job and he screwed it up 🤦‍♀️😂🤔🤭🫣 https://www.thecollector.com/mortals-underworld-katabasis-greek-roman-mythology/
#weirdwords

psalva Very cool word! I didn‘t know the Ancient Greek roots. In modern Greek there‘s still κατεβαίνω, which is the verb to go down or get off (of a bus for instance), and also καταλαβαίνω which is the verb “to understand.” One of those common roots I guess :) Also, I always got frustrated with Orpheus as well! 2w
mrsmarch I just read A Thousand Ships too! Have you read Haynes‘ Pandora‘s Jar? 2w
vivastory As someone who loves Dante's Divine Comedy (esp. Books 1 & 2) I love this one! 2w

Friends! It‘s #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook day! I made it a bit easier on myself this time and used a spinner thingy 😊 Would love to see what you‘ll be reading this month! Enjoy and thanks for playing along with me 😊♥️ I‘ve been having issues with tags - please let me know if you don‘t get a notification 🙏🏻

See All 47 Comments
Leniverse I have so many other things to read this month (Women's Prize Longlist hello?) that I don't know what I can manage. But my four books are North Woods, Standing Heavy, All the Lovers in the Night, and once again Pageboy (which I didn't get to last month because I started reading Doppelganger instead). I so want to read all 4 😩😅 2w
Allylu Wow! At first I looked at my #Roll100 and wondered why all the numbers were at the beginning. Duh. I‘ve got it right now! #16 Among the Nameless Stars by Diana Peterfreund, #2 Lady Rample Steps Out by Shea MacLeod, #6 A Girl Called Samson by Amy Harmon, and #12 Sweet On You by Chautona Havig. I will try to read at least one as well as Death by Leprechaun by Jennifer S. Alderson. 2w
Read4life Love the ‘spinner thingy‘ Cydney! Thanks for hosting. Now to see which books these are… 2w
KLyn1 🤣 Spinner thingy for the win... And, it looks like A Little Life will be the next #readyourkindle... Not sure I'll get to the others due to length and the other challenges I'm working on... Other picks include Goldfinch, We're All Damaged, and 100 Year Old Man... Thanks @CBee 😊 2w
AmyG Nice! I am going to read The Women and if I can also read The Prophet…I will. Thank you! 2w
CBee @Leniverse no pressure! Also, if it‘s an ebook, it counts even if it isn‘t one of the numbers drawn 😊 2w
CBee @Meshell1313 great timing!! 😊 2w
Larkken The spinner is nice! Very colorful and cheerful. Not menacing at all ! (I think I need a dose of not-menacing as I look at the metaphorical pile of unread ebooks… 😆) 2w
CBee @Allylu Death by Leprechaun sounds interesting 🤔 😂 2w
CBee @Read4life thingy is what I call something when I can‘t think of the actual name of it 😂😂🤪🤪 2w
Allylu @Cbee The tour group visits several of the places my sister and I visited on our trip to Ireland, so that‘s fun. 2w
CBee @KLyn1 ooooooo A Little Life 💔💔 I think I mentioned to you before but it‘s a tough read. You‘ll be in my thoughts 😅 It‘s definitely an amazing book; I still think about it and I read it like three years ago… (edited) 2w
CBee @AmyG I want to read The Women, it sounds excellent. 2w
CBee @Larkken I‘m very glad it isn‘t menacing 😂 I agree it is quite cheerful! 2w
CBee @Allylu oh neat! I bet that was an amazing trip! 2w
Read4life @cbee I do the same thing. 😄 2w
CBee @Read4life yay! Someone who shares one of my quirks 😂😘 2w
KLyn1 @CBee - yes, I'll be sure to have boxes of Kleenex nearby... 2w
CBee @KLyn1 you might want to buy tissues in bulk 😂😂 2w
OutsmartYourShelf Those are 2) A Friend Like That (Finch), 6) One Flew Over the Cuckoo‘s Nest (Kesey), 12) The Marionettes (Wismer), & 16) Cold Mountain (Frazier). Will probably read in that order too. 2w
PuddleJumper The spinner is a great idea! 2w
Hooked_on_books Good that I‘ll get another crack at 12! 2w
CBee @OutsmartYourShelf sounds great! 😊 2w
CBee @PuddleJumper it‘s just easier 😊 2w
CBee @Hooked_on_books right! That was drawn last month too 😊 2w
Soubhiville Fun! 2w
audraelizabeth Oh goodness, im almost done with one of my feb books. 2w
Crazeedi Thank you Cydney!! Whoohoo!! 2w
vonnie862 The spinner thingy does help! 2w
CBee @audraelizabeth no pressure! I only read two from last month and didn‘t even finish the second one in time 🤷‍♀️ 2w
CBee @vonnie862 I love the spinner thingy 😂😂 2w
audraelizabeth Ive noticed the last couple years im not reading as much. 2w
monkeygirlsmama We'll see how we do this month. Last month I crossed off 3, but one wasn't from the numbers drawn and one that was for the numbers drawn ended up being a DNF. Still gone from my list though, so that's something. Ha! 2w
CBee @audraelizabeth that‘s okay! Do you feel like you‘ve been in a slump reading-wise? I go through those too sometimes 🤷‍♀️ 2w
CBee @monkeygirlsmama girl, that‘s great! It counts even if it wasn‘t a drawn number. And DNFs count too 😊😊 2w
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I'll be reading one I've owned since 2016 😂 2w
CBee @TheAromaofBooks awesome!! 😊😊 2w
audraelizabeth Nope, my work is more mentally challenging than my old job. 2w
CBee @audraelizabeth that makes sense. Hopefully it‘ll get better! 2w

Many of you know that I‘m a mythology fanatic. So WHY did it take me so long to read this fan-friggin-tastic book? I have no excuse 🫣 Like many of you who‘ve read this, I especially loved Penelope‘s letters - I always wanted to hear more about her and how she actually felt. These women are so often footnotes and here, they‘re front and center. LOVED it. #readyourkindle #february

BeeCurious Sounds wonderful! Maybe I should stop putting off reading it, too. 2w
CBee @BeeCurious you should 😊 And I hope you love it too. 2w
Allylu Penelope is my favorite! Have you read The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood? I listened to the audiobook and it was great - especially the Virgin Chorus. You will love it! 2w
CBee @Allylu I started it but for some reason it didn‘t hold my interest at the time 🤷‍♀️😅 I‘ll have to try again! 2w

CBee @RaeLovesToRead hahahaha NICE 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2w
CBee @AmyG oh yay! So you can take your time with it 😊 2w
AmyG It‘s a big, dense book. I couldn‘t possibly, with all my challenges, pick up another huge book this month. 2w
CBee @AmyG I get it 😊 2w
Read4life I can see that you tagged me but I didn‘t get a notification. I wonder how many other times that‘s happened.🤦🏼‍♀️ 2w
CBee @Read4life I had a lot of issues getting the tags to post this morning, maybe that‘s why? 2w
ChelseaM6010 I‘m gonna tackle The Crow Girl! 2w
CBee @ChelseaM6010 that‘s a big one! 2w
Meshell1313 Ooh fun! Right now my biggest is 2w
Meshell1313 @Read4life same!!! Something has been up with Litsy I think. 2w
OriginalCyn620 By page count, this one is the biggest on my shelf. I can‘t promise to get it completed this month but I will at least start it! 2w
Librariana I was going to ask to be readded to the list, sis, but I see that you DID tag me 😳 But like others, I didn't get a notification 🥺 As for my selection, I was staring at this one last night, but I don't know if it's my biggest by page count 2w
CBee @OriginalCyn620 sounds good to me! 2w
CBee @Librariana something weird was going on with tags the other day. I might go back and try to re-tag everyone! 2w
CBee @Librariana I‘m also looking at Babel, it‘s chunky 😳😂 (edited) 2w
CBee Going to try and tag everyone again to see if it works - can y‘all let me know? (edited) 2w
Librariana The comment tags worked! 💖 2w
CBee @Librariana it‘s so weird because it‘s not showing up!! 🤷‍♀️ 2w
Librariana @CBee Whoa 😳 That is odd! But I saw that someone mentioned in an earlier comment that something had been up with Litsy. Maybe just a hiccup? A tiny glitch? Maybe Litsy woke up on the opposite side of the bed and it threw their whole day? 2w
Librariana Most of us know or will probably think of coming to look at your profile, sis. Wouldn't worry too much about it 😊💜 2w
CBee @Librariana thanks sis ♥️ I think something might still be up with it but hopefully it‘ll get resolved soon! 2w
CatLass007 @Read4life @CBee @Librariana @Meshell1313 I never got a notification either. So I just now came looking for it. (edited) 2w
CatLass007 I have some long audiobooks but maybe I can go through my limited print books to see what I have. 2w
CBee @CatLass007 audiobooks count 😊 2w
CatLass007 @CBee That‘s good. That‘s mostly what I “read” these days. 2w
CBee @CatLass007 did you get a notification the second time I did the tags? 2w
CatLass007 I got a notification from your post just now but I didn‘t get a notification when you did the tag for the group. 2w
Read4life I didn‘t get a notification when you redid the tags but I got notified when @CatLass007 tagged me in a comment. 2w
CatLass007 Hmmm. Is there a way to contact tech support? Because this seems like a technical issue. 2w
CatLass007 I have had this in my audio library for several years. It‘s over 19 hours. It‘s not the longest book in my collection, that would be The Wandering Inn which is over 43 hours. 2w
CatLass007 Or, I could listen to one that‘s over 20 hours and continue a series. 2w
CBee @CatLass007 there is! I‘ll contact them today. 2w
CatLass007 Awesome! Do you know their hours and how long it will take to hear back from them? 2w
CBee @CatLass007 not sure but I‘m thinking probably normal business hours. Hopefully soon 🤞🏻 2w
CatLass007 🤞 2w
MatchlessMarie I‘m just trying to decide if I interpret this as my TBR overall or like books I own and then drill down to physical/ebook/audio 😂🧐 without looking I think my biggest physical book on my shelf is probably 2w
CBee @MatchlessMarie I‘d say any of those count - I have a book on my Kindle that‘s 600+ pages and I‘m considering it 🤔😊 2w
erzascarletbookgasm Noooo! 😂 2w
CBee @erzascarletbookgasm I know 😂😳🤪 2w
CBee @CatLass007 just a heads up that all of my tags for the other challenge I‘m doing worked! So maybe it was just a weird glitch 🤷‍♀️ 2w

dabbe One of my better teacher assignments (other than the “mean“ April Fool's joke): after teaching the parts of speech, kids had to replace all of the nonsense words with bona fide real words. They loved it and couldn't believe that it was quite easy. That led into teaching all about sentence structure. Sigh. I miss teaching, but not all the *&(% that goes along with it. 💚 3w
Deblovestoread Such a great word! 3w
CBee @dabbe I had an ancient Latin teacher in high school - they actually dragged her out of retirement to teach Latin. She was just the best and I adored her, but she was made fun of by some of the other students - she had her glasses held together with safety pins, her slip was always showing, but I never cared. Anyway! She‘d recite Jabberwocky often in a wonderfully dramatic voice and I always think of her when I read it ♥️ 3w

This will be a favorite of the year, without a doubt. The writing is absolutely gorgeous, the setting was a character in itself (the kind where you can almost feel it whilst reading), and Janet…..poor Janet. I loved her, could relate to her in certain ways, even rooted for her despite knowing the outcome. What a book. #blameitonlitsy

Now this is the Riley Sager I LOVE. His earlier stuff is definitely my favorite - this was no exception. Loved it! #readyourkindle #18

I‘ve seen mixed reviews for this one, but I really enjoyed it! Maybe it‘s because I‘m currently binging Succession 😂 The Plumb family is MUCH less toxic than the Roy family, though 😬 Another #dysfunctionalfamilyfiction win and it‘s my #TBRtarot choice for February (author‘s first name starts with C).

Amor4Libros I really liked this one, too! 😊 1mo
CBee @Amor4Libros it was really good! I had this expectation based on negative reviews but was pleasantly surprised 😊 1mo
Amor4Libros @CBee that‘s exactly what happened to me. After I was done I felt as if I‘d read a different book than everyone else had 😅 1mo

Chelsea.Poole Love Succession! Maybe I should pick this up to fill the Succession-hole in my life. 🤔 1mo
CBee @Chelsea.Poole I‘m addicted! Keep in mind that the book family is way more tame 😂 But I‘m always up for a book about funky family dynamics, as you know. I just really enjoyed it! 1mo
lauraisntwilder I like this cover. The one I have is pretty, but this one seems better suited to the story. 1mo
CBee @lauraisntwilder I found this at the dollar store 😊 1mo

I love this word and never knew this was what it meant! I also love looking at old advertisements - makes me nostalgic for when things were (maybe) simpler? Not that I‘m old enough to have played with a zoetrope…..but I digress. Enjoy 😂🤪 #weirdwords #weirdwordswednesday

TheBookHippie Oh wow! How fun! 1mo
IndoorDame I had no idea those had such a cool name! I‘m old enough to have played with flip books, which aren‘t as aesthetically appealing lying around a playroom, but were a really neat evolution of that since they could tell a whole mini wordless story… 1mo
Megabooks Very cool! 1mo

CatLass007 I‘ve seen pictures of zoetropes, and I‘ve heard the word zoetrope. But I never put the word with the toy. Cool. 1mo

willaful When I was a kid, we had a book of paper cut out old-fashioned toys and it included a Zoetrope, so I guess I'm old enough to have played with one. 😂 We used to put it on the record player so it would spin. (There, now you know how old I really am!) 1mo
CBee @willaful that sounds cool! I had a record player - one for me and my parents had one too 😊 I guess I just meant I wasn‘t old enough to have played with it when it was new? 🤷‍♀️😂 1mo

CBee Remember, you don‘t have to read all 4! Low key, no pressure here 😊😊 1mo
Sapphire Ok! Dream of Scipio followed by either Trust by Herman Diaz or Train Dreams for me! I don‘t think I will get to goon squad. Thanks @CBee 1mo
CBee @Sapphire sounds great 😊 1mo
Leniverse Yay, numbers! Pageboy, Chain-Gang All-Stars, Camp Zero, House of Doors. I would LOVE to get through all of those, but we'll see. I have other book commitments too 😅 I think I'll start with Chain-Gang because I'm already reading a non-fiction. 1mo
vivastory @Leniverse Chain-Gang is so good 1mo
Leniverse @vivastory It's just ridiculous that I haven't already read it! 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Ooooo I forgot this was happening today!!! For now, I'm going with one number because I have way too many challenge/buddy reads happening 😂 Looks like I've owned this one since September 2016. I think it's time haha It's - 1mo
vivastory @Leniverse No shame at all. I'm currently reading Yellowface. 1mo
CBee @Leniverse I haven‘t read Chain Gang yet either, hoping to get to it soon! 1mo
CBee @TheAromaofBooks sounds good to me 😊 1mo
CBee @vivastory what do you think of it so far? (edited) 1mo
Allylu #12 I'd Rather Be Reading by Anne Bogel; #14 Welcome to Last Chance by Cathleen Armstrong; #17 Among the Nameless Stars by Diana Peterfreund; and #18 Hotel Sacher by Rodica Doehnery. I also plan to read Be My Valencrime by Amy M. Reade for #SeasonalCozies !! 1mo
vivastory @CBee I started it last night around 10 & before I knew it I had read 120 pages. There are def some moments where I cringe when June's prejudices peek through, but she has a strong narrative voice for someone who seems to often lack her own identity. Also, some of the observations on the arbitrary nature of which books becomes bestsellers, while not new, is great to see (in a bestseller lol) 1mo
monkeygirlsmama 12.) The Help - K Stockett, 14.) Double Happiness - T Brasunas, 17.) Stop Littering. Place in a Bin. - P Good, and 18.) Nether - J Beymer... I think I'll start with The Help and go from there. Will make sure I get at least two of them read, but am gonna shoot for all four if I can. 🙂 1mo
CBee @Allylu great plan 👏🏻👏🏻 1mo
CBee @vivastory oh yes, quite a few cringy moments but fascinating to see a bit behind the scenes of publishing. It‘s sort of like a car wreck you can‘t look away from 😳😂 1mo
CBee @monkeygirlsmama the Help is great! Make sure to watch the movie too! 1mo
jackilynn #12 Curious Tide-Pascale Lacelle. #14 Empire of Sand-Tasha Suri. #17 The Haunting of Maddy Clare- Simone St. James. #18 Into the Drowning Deep- Mira Grant. Hmmm, I can totally get behind these picks lol 1mo
rubyslippersreads I‘m going to start with #12, because it‘s been on my TBR for ages: 1mo
AnnR Even though all my numbered picks were just general themes, I'm going with the #12 Kindle. There is a short children's classic titled The Windy Hill that I've been trying to read for a few months now. I'd like to cross that one off my list. 1mo
RebelReader I‘m going with #18. 1mo
RaeLovesToRead I'll go with XOXO. That works for PopSugar Challenge (book beginning with X) 1mo
CBee @jackilynn I love anything by Simone St. James 😊 1mo
CBee @AnnR sounds great 👏🏻 1mo
CBee @RebelReader that sounds right up my alley! 1mo

TheSpineView Cool 😎 I am ready to start reading 📚 1mo
CBee @KLyn1 great! I hope some will work for both! 1mo
KLyn1 @CBee - me too 😉 1mo
BethM Damsel in a dress (cozy), the grail conspiracy (fiction maybe sff), 100 yr old man (fic), insomnia (horror). I think I‘ll go with damsel in a dress 1mo
julieclair I will start with Mr. Finchley Discovers His England, and if I have time, I‘ll also read Elizabeth and Her German Garden. 😀 1mo
CBee @BethM sounds great! Can‘t go wrong with cozy 😊 1mo
CBee @julieclair awesome 😊😊 1mo
OutsmartYourShelf I'm starting off with All In The Mind by Jenny Twist - the only fiction book from the 4 numbers, & hopefully In The Garden of Beasts by Erik Larsen. 1mo
CBee @OutsmartYourShelf I started the Larsen book years ago and enjoyed what I read but never finished it 😂🤷‍♀️ 1mo
Larkken Egotistical Puckboy here I come! After that, maybe Dead Romantics or Hammered 🥰 1mo

If you‘re quirky and you know it clap your hands 🎶 😂 I have an abundance of quirks, but here are three.
1️⃣ After I pour the dish soap into a pot or whatever I‘m washing, I squeeze it again for the cute little bubble shower. Every. Single. Time.
2️⃣ I can pretty much turn anything into a song. I think it‘s starting to bug my oldest son 😂
3️⃣ If I write something and don‘t like the way it looks, I‘ll totally do it again. Even a grocery list!

And here we gooooo!! Please read the comments posted below and let me know if anything is confusing, if you have questions, whatever you need! Hoping this will give y‘all plenty of time to get those lists together 😊 #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook
If you want to be added to my list or removed, shoot me a comment 😊

CBee 1️⃣ This challenge should pair really well with other challenges, especially #bookspin as they both use lists 😃 I'd already made my #bookspin list for February, and you probably have too (if you participate), so here's what I'd suggest: spin numbers are drawn on the 2nd, so when you're making your spin list, you could maybe include #readyourkindle for a few of the entries; ⬇️ (edited) 2mo
CBee alternatively, you could just have a whole separate list for #readyourkindle, et al. Totally up to you and really low-key/customizable. Mix and match your lists however you'd like!
(edited) 2mo
CBee 2️⃣ You do NOT have to read all four books drawn! Maybe aim to read at least two, but as I said, this is low-key and if you don't get to it, it's okay! 2mo
See All 71 Comments
CBee 3️⃣ Make sure to tag me when you post your list and when you read your books, and use whatever hashtag fits your challenge: we have #readyourkindle, #readyourebooks, and #readyournook. (edited) 2mo
CBee 4️⃣ I‘ll try to do a bonus prompt each time (read the book you‘ve had the longest, the shortest, stuff like that) 😊 2mo
CBee 5️⃣ The most important thing: have FUN and bust the Kindle/Nook/E-book backlog! Reach out to me anytime with questions - this is totally new to me as well, so we can all muddle through together. Thanks for participating! 2mo
AmyG I may only be able to read one book. I‘ve got alot of challenges going on! 2mo

E.Bolhafner I have 344 books on my kindle, 3 are PDFs [one of which I own not in ebook]. I added the PDFs and the oldest 17 books onto my list. 2011 0.o. Hopefully this helps me clear out my kindle. I should try to clear out my iBooks but my oldest one on there is Middlemarch and I don't think I could read Middlemarch and another book in a month. That thing is dense and long. Plus iBooks has 676 books/pdfs and uhhh no. 2mo
CBee @E.Bolhafner wow! I hope this helps you! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 2mo
CBee @Liz_M thank you, I was remembering to tag y‘all and then forgot on the most important post 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 2mo
E.Bolhafner @CBee I think there is a lot of overlap. I noticed one of the 20 in kindle is also in iBooks as part of an anthology 🤓 2mo
CBee @E.Bolhafner I‘ve bought duplicates like that before, it happens 😂🤷‍♀️ 2mo
E.Bolhafner @CBee oh jeesh it is worse than that! I will be downloading things from bookfunnel or something in both formats. Stuff your kindle days offers more books via kindle but they also offer ibooks and kobo books and there is overlap. At least I rarely purchased the same item twice!

Most of my ibooks are pdfs from the parenting bundles or vegan bundles so ebooks or shorter things and some knitting patterns.
2mo
Liz_M @CBee I only remember to add the tag if it is an event that i am intrigued by 😆 2mo

I‘ve had this forever and finally read it. Decent thriller, but I kept thinking this particular trope is a bit overdone, plus the Misery references just didn‘t gel? But, it kept me reading and I mostly enjoyed it! One backlog Kindle read off the TBR!

I‘ve been throwing this idea around today and thought I‘d see if any of you lovely Littens are interested! I have a HUGE Kindle backlog (in addition to a print book backlog 😂) and was considering hosting a challenge! I‘d name it #readyourkindle or something similar. You‘d make a master list and then pick at least two Kindle books to read each month. I could also potentially draw numbers like #bookspin. Not sure I‘ll do this yet but wanted to ⬇️

CBee see if anyone might be interested. Could work really well with other challenges - #bookspin et al. Shoot me a comment if this sounds like something you‘d like to do! Thanks friends 😊 ALSO! It can be Kindle, Nook, Kindle app on your iPad, whatever 😄 (edited) 2mo

jackilynn I am in. I have a huge kindle backlog and this might actually give me the motivation to start chipping away at it. I am horrible at keeping up with challenges though lol 2mo
Soubhiville I think this is a great idea and might occasionally participate. I actually don‘t use my kindle very often, my weakness is physical books, but of course I do have some books on there I should eventually read! 2mo

Roary47 Love it! Count me in! 2mo
Hooked_on_books I could see doing this. I may have a few books lingering on my Nook. But I‘m deeply anti-Amazon, so I‘d be more likely to use #readyourebooks as a tag. Good idea, and thanks for thinking of me! 2mo
TheSpineView I think it is a great idea. I think I am up 2K+ on my Kindle and another 1K+ on my Kobo eReader. I can't seem to pass up a sale or a freebie. 2mo
CBee @Hooked_on_books we can absolutely use more than one hashtag and I think yours is perfect! 2mo
CBee @TheSpineView I‘m the same way. And Kindle Unlimited continues to add more and more books I want 🤷‍♀️😂 2mo
vivastory Thanks for the tag! I probably won't commit to a set number as I am only committing to two challenges this year, but I do plan on using my kindle (& kindle app) throughout the year, esp as I continue reading short stories! 2mo
The.Great.Catsby Yes! I love it and would love to join in! 2mo
CBee @vivastory sure thing 😊 2mo

akfreeborn Great idea! 2mo
Amiable @Hooked_on_books Same —I don‘t own a Kindle, either. I have an iPad with the Nook app (and Libby and Hoopla apps). I also avoid Amazon— especially when it comes to purchasing books. 2mo
AllDebooks Great idea 💡 Count me in, please 🙂 2mo
kelli7990 I‘m interested. 2mo
OutsmartYourShelf I currently have over 8K books on my Kindle plus Kindle Unlimited & ebooks from the library - not sure where I‘d start with setting up a master list. I‘m happy to set a goal to read at least 2 a month from those 3 though. 2mo
RaeLovesToRead I've been reading the same book on my Kindle since September! Haha. I can't do an official challenge because I'm trying to have a clear out of physical books but I will read along and possibly use the hashtag! 2mo
andreadmw I‘d be into this definitely. I‘d say make a list and read off it. It would help me get a handle on what I actually own. With all my other challenges and book clubs I might just have to do 1 a month not 2. 2mo
youneverarrived I would definitely join in! Great idea. 2mo
MatchlessMarie I‘m interested. This would actually make me feel doubly productive if I end up reading a KU book instead of my physical TBR 😈😇 2mo
ElizaMarie I would be very interested in this. Most of my Kindle books are books that were free, but I still want to read or DNF them. 2mo
ShelleyBooksie Cool idea!! 2mo
CBee @TheAromaofBooks wanted to run this by you as it seems the simplest way to do this is to have a list each month and draw the numbers. Do you mind if I do that? It‘s very similar to #bookspin and I don‘t want to steal your idea whatsoever! I may have created a monster but I‘m up for the challenge 😂 Any tips welcome! 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Oh for sure you should go for it! I will probably play along because my Kindle is also over loaded 😂 I don't own the idea; I stole it from a random blog who had a similar challenge and @PuddleJumper also has #Roll100 with a similar theme. So I would just set the number of books you think should be on the list so people have a range to plan for and then decide when you're going to do the draw. I have a set day for mine; Jo just does her draw ⬇ 2mo
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) sometime towards the end of the month, so you don't necessarily have to pick A DAY like BookSpin does haha Put me on your tag list and keep me posted!!! And thank you for asking ❤ ❤ ❤ 2mo
CBee @TheAromaofBooks awesome! I love how we can sort of share similar ideas 😊 I‘ll def put you on the tag list, I think I‘m going for it! 😂🤪 2mo
TheAromaofBooks All of us are here just wishing someone would tell us what to read next 😂 I know you'll find a way to give the challenge your own twist. I love seeing all the crafty ways we come up with to keep ourselves tackling the lists!!! 2mo
CBee @TheAromaofBooks truer words were never spoken 😂😂 Thanks for the encouragement! ♥️ 2mo
Laughterhp Ooh this is a good idea! My unread list on my kindle isn‘t as crazy as I thought it would be, but still pretty high! (160 unread books)! 2mo
monkeygirlsmama @rubyslippersreads 💯!!! 😁📚 2mo
kspenmoll Please add me!! 2mo
AmandaBlaze I‘m interested! I had put a lot of my Kindle books on my #Roll100 list, too. 2mo

Heartbreaking book. Classified as YA, and I‘d say it fits that mainly because the main character is a teenager….. but wow, the subject matter tackled here is intense and heavy and heartbreaking. I thought it was a really spot on book about addiction - about the addict of course, but also about the “collateral damage” to his/her family and friends. Powerful. #TBRtarot for January (book starting with You)

TheBookHippie All her books are excellent. ♥️ 2mo

How to possibly review this? I‘m so glad I finally read it, and I‘m thankful to the author for writing it. I don‘t know if I can add to what‘s already been said. It‘s an important, beautiful, frustrating, heartbreaking, and hopeful book ♥️💔

I absolutely loved this - it has everything a “dysfunctional family fiction” fan like me craves! The setting was perfect - both location-wise (Cape Cod) and political climate-wise (I‘ll never forget the election of 2016). Flawed characters, some way more so than others, found family, so many secrets. I‘ll be thinking about this one for a while.

I agree with @TrishB that we should organize a Valérie Perrin fan club ♥️ How does she write such beautiful books? I think it must be magic. Fresh Water will always be my favorite (and I still haven‘t read Three), but I loved this one almost as much. What a great way to start 2024!
