My final #Booked2021 book - #NewIn2021. Beautiful photos and an excellent narrative make this a wonderful book for anyone who loves dogs. The Flame trading card and postcard from Honest Dog Books are fun additions. #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers #AVeryMerryReadathon #WinterCosy #WrapItUpReadathon #Adventathon #AVeryMerryBingo @StayCurious @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft @PuddleJumper @keys_on_fire @ozma.of.oz @Jadams1776

#TeamGameSleighers - Here's my week 1 total. #WinterGames2021 @StayCurious

Finished my #TeamGameSleighers book late last night. It was cute, I liked how all the stories connected. My #BookSpin for #BookSpinBingo #WinterGames2021 #AVeryMerryReadathon #WinterCosy #WrapItUpReadathon #Adventathon #AVeryMerryBingo @TheAromaofBooks @StayCurious @PuddleJumper @keys_on_fire @ozma.of.oz @Jadams1776

This evening's entertainment was the classic movie The Shop Around The Corner at a local theater. There was even an organ concert/singalong before the movie. They take a week each December and show classic movies and I think this is becoming a new family tradition. #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers @StayCurious

This audiobook contained both On Christmas Day in the Morning and On Christmas Day in the Evening. Both stories were sweet gentle reads about families and neighbors reconnecting on Christmas. They were written in 1908 and kind of reminded me of old radio soap operas my dad would listen to.

Ok, I'll admit this might be a stretch, but every time I see #SilverBells I think of the song which debuted in the Bob Hope movie The Lemon Drop Kid (one of my favorite holiday movies). It was based on a short story by Damon Runyon. #FestivePhotoChallenge #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers @StayCurious

This is just heart-wrenching. I hadn't read it before and now I see why it won the Nobel Peace Prize. #Booked2021#JewishAuthor @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft

This is one of the best books I read all year! It's the story of a teen mom learning to navigate school, family, friends, new love, and dreams of the future. #Booked2021 #LatinxAuthor @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft

My list for December's #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

So instead of reading this afternoon, I went searching for Christmas books. These are the physical and ebooks I found. We'll see how many I read for #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers @StayCurious

Hope everyone is having an enjoyable day whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not. 🦃

Thanks, @Bklover for the tag. I'm a little late because I decided to stay off of social media yesterday.
1. I just finished Well Met by Jen DeLuca
2. Anything apple
3. The Night Circus
#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

How I spent my Sunday. I stayed away from social media and read the whole book in one day. I haven't done that in a few years. It was the perfect light frothy romance I needed and I loved it. I'll be sure to read the next two. Another 329 pages for #NovelNovember for a total of 681 of my 700-page goal. Also #Frenemies for #Booked2021 @Andrew65 @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft

A great book of heartwarming poems about dogs. I don't usually read poetry, but I enjoyed this. #Booked2021 #poetry #NovelNovember - total so far 352 pages. @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft @Andrew65

This is the story of how De Beers controlled the diamond industry and exploited the people of the region. The author also intersperses his experience with child loss in the narrative. It was a hard read. 224 pages for #NovelNovember; my #BookSpin book for #BookSpinBingo and #Booked2021 #Blackjack21 @Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft

Thanks, @Andrew65, for #NovelNovember. I spent the last week helping to care for my sister-in-law's mother after a hospital stay. It was mainly at her house to let the therapists and nurses in and help with meals, and she's a lovely lady, but boy, can she talk. I need some alone time. My goal is to read 700 pages.

I spent the week re-listening to this while doing stuff around the house and obsessing over a new app. It's one of my favorite books and Jim Dale's narration is incredible.

My #BookSpinBingo list for November. @TheAromaofBooks

Week 4 totals for #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter My total for the whole event was 8672. This was fun. Thank you @Clwojick and @StayCurious for running it.

My final book for #20in4 readathon and #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter. I needed a break from Halloween. Once again an expedition goes awry and the time-traveling historians fight to avoid disaster. I love this series. 6 more hours for a total of 13.5 for the Halloween readathon. I didn't meet my goal of 20 hours but I had fun trying. @Andrew65 @Clwojick

This week's entertainment for #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter - It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown; my favorite episode of Doctor Who - Blink; and the new Doctor Who episode. @Clwojick

Happy Halloween Everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful spooky day. This is the display at my library.

My feelings toward this book are partially colored by the fact I've become burned out on Halloween cozy mysteries. It was fine and I think if it was one of the first ones I'd read I would have enjoyed it much more. 7.5 hours toward #20in4 readathon. #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter @Andrew65 @Clwojick

As I was planning for November's #BookSpinBingo , I realized I had a bingo this month. 20 more points for #TeamSlaughter #Scarathlon2021 @TheAromaofBooks @Clwojick

Yay! Another Readathon to help add points to #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter I'm going to read from Thursday to Sunday and aim for 20 hours. @Andrew65

My week 3 #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter totals @Clwojick

This is another cozy mystery series I enjoy. Sarah Booth returns home to Mississippi to find herself and her friends involved in the murder of a Blues musician. I finished it just before midnight - good thing I don't have plans for today. 11 more hours for #OutstandingOctober for a total of 27 hours and 3 books! #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter always causes me to read more than usual. @Andrew65 @Clwojick

This week's entertainment for #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter was classic monster movies. @Clwojick

This was a cute cozy mystery. Josie overhears a corrupt deal taking place at the LOC and flees to a tiny town in Oregon as the librarian. She quickly becomes involved in murder and town politics. I'll be adding these to my TBR list. Another 9 hours for #OutstandingOctober #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter (15 pts) #Screamathon week 3 #BookSpin #SpookoweenReadathon #Wickedathon @Andrew65 @Clwojick @4thhouseontheleft @TheSpineView @StayCurious

#Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick

Late last night I finished the 1st book for #OutstandingOctober - 7 hours read so far. The series is set in Hollywood during the 1940s and always has some connection to films. This time Toby needs to solve a mystery involving Bela Lugosi and William Faulkner. #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter (15 pts) #Scarathon #BookSpin #SpookoweenReadathon #Wickedathon @Andrew65 @Clwojick @4thhouseontheleft @TheSpineView @StayCurious

I read some kid's books this morning with breakfast. They were cute. 1 hour down for #OutstandingOctober
#Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter @Andrew65 @Clwojick

A little late, but I'm in. Since I've been counting hours for #Scarathlon, I'm setting my goal this month at 15 hours. @Andrew65

This was a fun light read for #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter buddy read. (50 pts +1) @Clwojick

#Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick

Another children's classic I hadn't read, but I think if I had I would have been scared by it. I found all the different covers interesting. #Screamathon #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter #SpookoweenReadathon #Wickedathon @4thhouseontheleft @Clwojick @TheSpineView @StayCurious

My #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter entertainment for the week. Was definitely in a Disney mood.
15 pts + 1 @Clwojick

I listened to the book and it was excellent. I loved how convoluted the story was and the insight the reader was given into each character's mindset. The movie version I watched was from 1945 and they changed the story too much. I didn't enjoy it.

Some views from my audio walk today. I've been listening to And Then There Were None for #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter and #Screamathon Scare Pairs. @Clwojick @4thhouseontheleft

Theodosia & Drayton are once again present at a murder, this time at a haunted house. I didn‘t see the twist at the end coming. This series always feels like I‘m visiting with friends. My first book finished for #Scarathlon - 25 pts. Also my #BookSpin book for #BookSpinBingo, and a #Booked2021 #UnderRatedOrLesserKnown book. #Screamathon #Wickedathon @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks @4thhouseontheleft @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @StayCurious

Here's my list for the final quarter of #Booked2021 with one left from Summer.

Starting out #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter #Screamathon #SpookoweenReadathon with little snack outdoors while the weather is still nice. @Clwojick @4thhouseontheleft @TheSpineView

Set in the Belgian Congo in the 1950s, this book deals with racism and colonialism disguised as a slowly revealed mystery. The author‘s parents were missionaries in the Congo, and she was born there, and she vividly describes the people and culture of the area. It was a little slow for me at times but overall it was interesting. #Booked2021 #CountryWhereUNPeacekeepersAre @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage

Here's my #BookSpinBingo #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter #Screamathon #Spooko'weenReadathon list and the final group of books for #Booked2021 all mixed together. Tracking it all will be interesting. @TheAromaofBooks @Clwojick @4thhouseontheleft @TheSpineView
