Thank you, Percival Everett, for introducing me to this word (and plenty of others, it was actually hard to choose 🤩). Here‘s a Wiki about fescennine verse - so interesting: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fescennine_Verses 🤓 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

CatLass007 😮 2d
lil1inblue Wow! That is fascinating. 2d
dabbe Beautiful word! 🤗😀🤩 2d

Amiable This made me LOL. When my kids were younger, my oldest son asked me what a word meant because he was too lazy to look it up. This is how that conversation went: Son: “What does ‘salacious‘ mean?” Me: “Licentious.” Son: “What? What the heck does ‘licentious‘ mean?” Me: “Prurient.” Son: (throwing his arms into the air and stomping away) “Why can‘t I have normal parents instead of being forced to live with a human thesaurus?” 🙄😄 (edited) 2d
CBee @Amiable 😂😂😂😂 that is the BEST 2d
Amiable @CBee I was like, “don‘t ask the question if you don‘t want to hear the answer!” 😀 2d
CBee @Amiable it‘s reminding me of my son - I have a habit of making everything into a song and he‘s like “mom, why do you have to do that” 😂😂😂 (cause it‘s fun lol) 1d
Amiable @CBee Because embarrassing our kids is our right and our privilege! 😁 1d
CBee @Amiable but of course! 😊😊😂😂 22h

Telephone | Percival Everett
post image
Pickpick

Just finished this odd book and honestly, I really liked it. Confusing? Yes. Occasionally hard to follow? Yup. Brain bending? Oh yeah. But it came together and I found the ending more satisfying than others (I got the “good” ending though so that helped 😂). Percival Everett is just 🤯

BarbaraBB Great review and so true! I just read the article you referred to. So cool! 3d
The_Penniless_Author I've never read a single Percival Everett novel, but I'm convinced I would love his stuff. Where would you recommend I start? 3d
Tamra I love how he makes the reader stretch! 3d

CBee @The_Penniless_Author I think you‘d like him! Honestly, I‘ve only read The Trees and Telephone thus far, but I HAVE to recommend The Trees. He also has a new one called James, which reimagines Huck Finn from Jim‘s perspective. Can‘t wait to read that one! 3d
CBee @BarbaraBB thank you! The article helped me understand more about why he wrote it the way he did (thanks @SamAnne 😊). 3d
CBee @Tamra yes! And it somehow still makes sense in an odd way. 3d
SamAnne @cbee reading James right now and loving it. 2d
Billypar I'm reading Dr. No now - almost finished but yeah, I'm having a similar reaction as you. Very, very odd but I like it! 2d
CBee @SamAnne so happy to hear that! Can‘t wait to get to it. 2d
CBee @Billypar I think it‘s par for the course with him - odd, but good 😂 2d

Here are my choices! Thanks to you lovely ladies for hosting again ♥️ @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB @Megabooks #CampLitsy24

ChaoticMissAdventures I am glad someone nominated Greta! I wasn't sure if it qualified since the NZ pub date was in 2021 but it is so, so good and I want to read it again. 5d
squirrelbrain Greta and Valdin is SO good! 5d
BarbaraBB They‘ve all been on my radar! I want to read all of them! 5d

Suzze I bought James recently and can‘t wait to read it! 5d
Kitta I had clear as my tentative 5th nomination. It looks good!! 5d
AmyG Great choices!!! 5d
Megabooks Glad Murder Road got a nod!! 👍🏻👍🏻 5d
Leniverse Greta&Valdin ❤️ 5d
CBee @ChaoticMissAdventures I had no idea! I was just going off of the US pub date - wonder why that took so long? I actually made a special request with my library and they‘re ordering it for me this month, can‘t wait!! 5d
CBee @Megabooks had to throw a thriller in there 😁😁 5d
CBee @squirrelbrain even if it doesn‘t get picked, I‘ll be reading it very soon! I‘ve heard nothing but good things 😊 5d
mcctrish I want to read James too ( I‘m trying to figure out this camp Litsy thing ) 5d
CBee @mcctrish did you check the post about it that @BarbaraBB has on her page? It‘s super easy and really fun. Last year was my first time participating and I loved it 😊 5d
mcctrish I did read it, besides publishing date books can be anything as long as publishing date is June? 5d
squirrelbrain @mcctrish - yes, books can be fiction or NF, as long as they‘re published in 2024, and before June. At this stage, nominate 4 books you‘d like to see on the longlist. We (your hosts) collate them all together and we all vote. We discuss 2 in June, 2 in July and 2 in August. You can join in with any or all parts of #camplitsy24. We‘d love you to join! 5d
Chelsea.Poole @Kitta I also nearly added Clear! 5d
CBee @Chelsea.Poole didn‘t you say you‘d like to read Telephone by Percival Everett? I just finished it and can send it along to you if you‘d like! 3d
Chelsea.Poole @cbee How did you like it? That‘s so kind of you to offer, but I have access to a library copy 😊 I always wonder why I haven‘t read more of Everett‘s books each time I finish one of his. I have read Trees, Erasure, and James and loved every one! 3d
CBee @Chelsea.Poole I liked it a lot! Not sure if you know about the different endings? I got the good ending apparently 😂 3d
Chelsea.Poole @CBee what?? No, I had no idea about the different endings!! 2d
CBee @Chelsea.Poole yep, three different endings 😊 2d

Well, Mr. Osman, you managed to make me laugh out loud multiple times with this one. What I didn‘t expect is that you‘d make me cry multiple times too! I‘m blown away by your tender care and obvious reverence for those who suffer from dementia (and those who care for them). Oh, and the murder mystery was spot on as usual ♥️😊 (side note - am seriously tempted to write Osman a letter, it touched me that much)

After Annie: A Novel | Anna Quindlen
post image
Pickpick

I‘d forgotten how much I enjoy Anna Quindlen‘s books (though I‘ve only read three including this one). I was completely swept into this story about a family struggling with the sudden loss of a wife and mother, and how they all dealt with that grief and trauma in different ways. Beautiful.

HeatherBookNerd I love her. My favorite is 2w
Hooked_on_books I love this cover 2w
CBee @Hooked_on_books you made me look at it more closely and I realized that the leaves/tree have a very special meaning in the book ♥️ 2w

Meshell1313 Ooh this is good one! I‘ll read this one that‘s been on my shelf for way too long! 3w
OriginalCyn620 Yay! I have quite a few that would work, so I‘ll have to see what all my options are! 😊 3w
CBee @Meshell1313 oh, it‘s so good 😊 The TV series is amazing too! (edited) 3w
CBee @Ruthiella woot! 3w
CBee @AmyG 🤷‍♀️ 3w
CBee @RaeLovesToRead ummmmm 🤷‍♀️😅🫠 3w
OriginalCyn620 So, yeah, I had a few options, but I decided to go with this one, because hooking up with a boy band member is totally a fantasy I‘ve had. Did I just use the past tense there? 🙈 3w
CBee @OriginalCyn620 isn‘t that a new movie with Anne Hathaway? Looks spicy 🫢 🔥 You did use the past tense 🤔😂 3w
OriginalCyn620 @CBee It is! It comes out in early May on Prime Video. So if I read the book now, it‘ll be fresh in my mind and I can compare the book and movie! 3w
CBee @OriginalCyn620 perfect! 😊 3w
CatLass007 I‘m going to finally read Frankenstein. Or maybe Strangers on a Train or maybe The Talented Mr. Ripley. So many choices! 2w
CBee @CatLass007 I‘ve heard both Strangers and Ripley are fantastic. Not sure if I‘d ever attempt Frankenstein, so kudos to you if you do 😊 2w
CatLass007 I‘ll listen to whatever I choose on Audible. Frankenstein is less than 10 hours long. And Patricia Highsmith‘s books are even shorter. All of them are free on Audible right now. It‘s picking just one that‘s tough. I want aaalll the books! 2w

ElizaMarie This past month, I ended up #DNF'ing both my #ReadMyKindle books :) I mean... it's good to get them out of the way. I am doing the same as before, just going alphabetically, starting from (L - A) this time. ( I did A-B in February, Z-A in March, and now doing this one for April) 3w
OutsmartYourShelf Only managed 1 book again this month for this but I had a week where I didn‘t do any reading at all due to outside issues. Fingers crossed April is better. 3w
AmyG Already posted. I read The Women for March. 3w
Sapphire I can‘t believe I am still creeping through the dream of Scipio 3w
kelli7990 I only read 1 trilogy from my #readyourkindle list this month. I haven‘t made my list yet but I know that I‘ll be carrying over everything I didn‘t read and then I‘ll have 3 mood read prompts since I read a trilogy from my list. 3w
Hooked_on_books Nice! I‘ve read 2 of mine so far and some ludicrous part of my brain thinks I‘ll squeeze the other two in. 😂 So, as per usual, I will post my list at the 11th hour to try to take advantage of every second of reading time. (edited) 3w

Moonflower Murders | Anthony Horowitz

Magpie Murders was excellent, but I think I loved this one even more! Atticus Pünd is a wonderful character and it was nice to get a bit more of his backstory. Horowitz really is a master - I didn‘t guess or suspect who did it or why at all. This was a chunk so it works for #TBRtarot (it‘s my “digital” shelf ?), plus #readyourkindle and #doublespin. Phew ?

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. 1mo
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 😊 1mo

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! 1mo

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 🙏🏻

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 😩😅 1mo
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. 1mo
Read4life Love the ‘spinner thingy‘ Cydney! Thanks for hosting. Now to see which books these are… 1mo
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 😊 1mo
AmyG Nice! I am going to read The Women and if I can also read The Prophet…I will. Thank you! 1mo

KLyn1 @CBee - yes, I'll be sure to have boxes of Kleenex nearby... 1mo
CBee @KLyn1 you might want to buy tissues in bulk 😂😂 1mo
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. 1mo
PuddleJumper The spinner is a great idea! 1mo
Hooked_on_books Good that I‘ll get another crack at 12! 1mo
CBee @OutsmartYourShelf sounds great! 😊 1mo

vonnie862 The spinner thingy does help! 1mo
CBee @audraelizabeth no pressure! I only read two from last month and didn‘t even finish the second one in time 🤷‍♀️ 1mo
CBee @vonnie862 I love the spinner thingy 😂😂 1mo
audraelizabeth Ive noticed the last couple years im not reading as much. 1mo
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! 1mo
CBee @audraelizabeth that‘s okay! Do you feel like you‘ve been in a slump reading-wise? I go through those too sometimes 🤷‍♀️ 1mo
CBee @monkeygirlsmama girl, that‘s great! It counts even if it wasn‘t a drawn number. And DNFs count too 😊😊 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I'll be reading one I've owned since 2016 😂 1mo
CBee @TheAromaofBooks awesome!! 😊😊 1mo
audraelizabeth Nope, my work is more mentally challenging than my old job. 1mo
CBee @audraelizabeth that makes sense. Hopefully it‘ll get better! 1mo

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

SpellboundReader Sounds wonderful! Maybe I should stop putting off reading it, too. 2mo
CBee @BeeCurious you should 😊 And I hope you love it too. 2mo
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! 2mo
CBee @Allylu I started it but for some reason it didn‘t hold my interest at the time 🤷‍♀️😅 I‘ll have to try again! 2mo

CBee @AmyG I get it 😊 2mo
Read4life I can see that you tagged me but I didn‘t get a notification. I wonder how many other times that‘s happened.🤦🏼‍♀️ 2mo
CBee @Read4life I had a lot of issues getting the tags to post this morning, maybe that‘s why? 2mo

Meshell1313 @Read4life same!!! Something has been up with Litsy I think. 2mo
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! 2mo
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 2mo
CBee @OriginalCyn620 sounds good to me! 2mo
CBee @Librariana something weird was going on with tags the other day. I might go back and try to re-tag everyone! 2mo
CBee @Librariana I‘m also looking at Babel, it‘s chunky 😳😂 (edited) 2mo
CBee Going to try and tag everyone again to see if it works - can y‘all let me know? (edited) 2mo
Librariana The comment tags worked! 💖 2mo
CBee @Librariana it‘s so weird because it‘s not showing up!! 🤷‍♀️ 2mo
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? 2mo
Librariana Most of us know or will probably think of coming to look at your profile, sis. Wouldn't worry too much about it 😊💜 2mo
CBee @Librariana thanks sis ♥️ I think something might still be up with it but hopefully it‘ll get resolved soon! 2mo
CatLass007 @Read4life @CBee @Librariana @Meshell1313 I never got a notification either. So I just now came looking for it. (edited) 2mo

CBee @CatLass007 audiobooks count 😊 2mo
CatLass007 @CBee That‘s good. That‘s mostly what I “read” these days. 2mo
CBee @CatLass007 did you get a notification the second time I did the tags? 2mo
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. 2mo
Read4life I didn‘t get a notification when you redid the tags but I got notified when @CatLass007 tagged me in a comment. 2mo
CatLass007 Hmmm. Is there a way to contact tech support? Because this seems like a technical issue. 2mo
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. 2mo
CatLass007 Or, I could listen to one that‘s over 20 hours and continue a series. 2mo
CBee @CatLass007 there is! I‘ll contact them today. 2mo
CatLass007 Awesome! Do you know their hours and how long it will take to hear back from them? 2mo
CBee @CatLass007 not sure but I‘m thinking probably normal business hours. Hopefully soon 🤞🏻 2mo
CatLass007 🤞 2mo

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. 💚 2mo
Deblovestoread Such a great word! 2mo
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 ♥️ 2mo
dabbe @CBee She sounds truly like one-of-a-kind. 💚💙💚 2mo
CBee @dabbe I‘m going to email you an article my hometown paper did about her! 2mo
Aimeesue We had to memorize this one in high school. I can still recite it. And often do. Poems are great to run through while you‘re having an MRI. 😂 2mo

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

I‘ve seen mixed reviews for this one, but I really enjoyed it!

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. 2mo

CBee @vivastory what do you think of it so far? (edited) 2mo
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 !! 2mo
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) 2mo
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. 🙂 2mo
CBee @Allylu great plan 👏🏻👏🏻 2mo
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 😳😂 2mo
CBee @monkeygirlsmama the Help is great! Make sure to watch the movie too! 2mo
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 2mo
rubyslippersreads I‘m going to start with #12, because it‘s been on my TBR for ages: 2mo
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. 2mo
RebelReader I‘m going with #18. 2mo

Great premise, fabulous writing, but a bit too long IMO. Still enjoyed it though! Thanks for the rec, Scott - it didn‘t give me the heebie jeebies 😂 @vivastory

vivastory So glad that you liked it! 👏 💙 2mo
Leniverse That was my first SK, sometime in my teens. I remember liking it a lot, but it's been so long, I need to re-read it. 2mo

You guysssss 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ So sorry I forgot to post this yesterday! I think I‘m befuddled because it‘s already February and I started a new challenge too (I must be crazy 😂🤪). This is an easy one, I think - have fun! #TBRtarot

Allylu I‘m sure I can find one for this prompt! I couldn‘t believe I didn‘t have any books starting with “You” last month. I‘m looking forward to our new challenge!! Have a great day! 💕📚🎶 3mo
Allylu Ooh! I have one already: My Plain Jane by Cynthia Hand - it‘s also my #BookSpin! What luck! 3mo

CBee @Allylu that‘s perfect! Yay 😀 3mo
Read4life Thanks, Cydney 🤓 I have a few options. Now to make a choice. 💙 3mo
CBee @Read4life I‘m excited because I just found two possibilities on my #readwithkindle list. Of course those probably won‘t be the ones drawn 😂🤪 3mo
Read4life That‘s always the way it goes 😄 3mo
CBee @Read4life yep 😂🤦‍♀️ 3mo
OriginalCyn620 Thanks, Cydney! I have this one on my #bookspinbingo list and it‘s also one of my #readordonate books for this month, so this is extra motivation to read it. 3mo
ChelseaM6010 Ooh I already have one in mind: The Liars Girl by Catherine Ryan Howard. She‘s a new-to-me author. Can‘t wait! 3mo
CatLass007 I was thinking about The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom. I‘ve had it for several years and I was wondering if this might be the month. Thank you for the extra motivation. 3mo
Ruthiella Easy peasy! I‘m reading the next book for the #NancyDrewBR , all attributed to Carolyn Keene! Which is lucky, because I‘m still working on January‘s prompt. 😅 3mo
CBee @OriginalCyn620 glad it can work for both challenges 😊😊 3mo
CBee @ChelseaM6010 she‘s great! Hope you like it! I‘ve read a few others of hers but my favorite is 3mo
CBee @CatLass007 oh, that‘s a powerful one. I read it years ago ♥️ 3mo
CBee @Ruthiella woot!! 3mo
CBee @AmyG I‘ve heard that‘s good! 3mo
CatLass007 @CBee I saw the movie when I was in college. I think it‘s time to finally read the book. 3mo
CBee @CatLass007 it‘s a good one. 3mo
erzascarletbookgasm 👌thanks 3mo
CBee @julieclair sounds fascinating! I love reading about that time period. 3mo
julieclair @CBee The Russian Revolution is the February prompt for #BookedInTime , hosted by @Cuilin . It's a subject I know very little about, so I'm looking forward to it! 3mo
CBee @julieclair I hope it‘s a good book! 😊 3mo
Meshell1313 Ooh I‘ll do this one. It‘s also a new author I‘ve been looking forward to checking out! Hooray! 3mo
BarbaraBB That‘s an easy one, my current read will fit the prompt! 3mo
willaful @Allyu I was surprised to only find one in my TBR! 3mo
candc320 My current read fits! 3mo
CBee @Meshell1313 awesome! 3mo
CBee @BarbaraBB yay! I have another of hers, Remote Sympathy, that would work too! 3mo
CBee @candc320 yay! 3mo
BarbaraBB I am curious about her other books! 3mo
CBee @BarbaraBB I bought it after reading Cindy‘s review ♥️ @Cinfhen 3mo
BarbaraBB I just read her review too! Sounds like a must-read, especially in these days ❤️ 3mo
CBee @BarbaraBB yes ♥️ 3mo
AmyG I changed my mind so I am going to read A Piece of the World -Christina Baker Kline. A less “heavy” read. 3mo
CBee @AmyG sounds good to me! 3mo

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!

dabbe #1: #adorable 🫧
#2: Matt and I love to do that. We always try to rhyme, too! 🤩
#3: I love your handwriting. 😍

Leniverse Oh, nvm. I found the post with the instructions now. Sounds fun, and doable. I'll put together a list. 😁 3mo
CBee @Leniverse yay! Heck no, 20 in a month - I can‘t even do that for #bookspin. It‘s just 2-4! 😅 3mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks You have so many great books on this list! 2mo
monkeygirlsmama #13 was a good one! 2mo

So I‘m not going to tag all of y‘all, but if it helps, I added the free spaces as #readyourkindle books. You could get lucky and have the numbers match up for both, but I‘m not sure about those odds 😂 Might work better to just have two lists. If someone figures out a better option let me know! @TheAromaofBooks

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) 3mo
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) 3mo
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! 3mo
See All 78 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) 3mo
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) 😊 3mo
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! 3mo
AmyG I may only be able to read one book. I‘ve got alot of challenges going on! 3mo
TheBookHippie This is super easy to do - YAY! 3mo
CBee @AmyG it‘s low-key, friend 😊 You know my crazy self couldn‘t get all complicated with it 😂😂 3mo
CBee @TheBookHippie yay, I‘m glad you think so! Happy to have you along ♥️ 3mo

Crazeedi I already have kindle book on my bookspin! But I may make separate list. Is there a date like monthly to post list? Or just one list to keep working on? 3mo
Crazeedi Ok I guess I didn't see you saying you'll post on the 2nd? 3mo
JenReadsAlot Woohoo!! 3mo
CBee @Crazeedi I‘ll post the numbers on the 5th of each month. So it‘ll be February 5, and so on. I didn‘t want to do it on the same day as #bookspin as I thought that might be overwhelming. 3mo
Crazeedi @CBee ok that's great! Thank you!! I'm going to get a list 3mo

Sapphire Ok. Making my list. I am going to include ones I have started since I have lots in open but don‘t return to. This will help me make several goals! 3mo
monkeygirlsmama I have Kindle lists, Nook lists, iPad lists... I'm going to limit this challenge to my Kindle list and I'll sit down between now and the 5th to pull my list together. I think this should be fun! Thank you so much for putting this challenge together. 😸 3mo

Vansa I would like to join too! By when do I need to post the list of 20, by today? 3mo
CBee @Vansa awesome! I‘ll add you to my tag list. No need to post by today, you have until February 5 - that‘s when I‘ll draw the numbers. 😊 3mo

CBee @OutsmartYourShelf sounds like a great plan 😃 3mo
CBee @Read4life 😊😊 3mo
TheAromaofBooks Perfect!!! My Kindle books are already in one big long list, oldest to newest, so I'm just going to do the next 20 each month 😂 3mo
CBee @TheAromaofBooks sounds good! How‘d I know you‘d probably already have a list of those somewhere? 😂 😜 3mo
TheAromaofBooks @CBee - I try not to talk about it, but I may have a PROBLEM with lists 😂 3mo
CBee @TheAromaofBooks I love lists! There are worse problems to have 😁😂 (edited) 3mo
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. 3mo
CBee @E.Bolhafner wow! I hope this helps you! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 3mo
CBee @Liz_M thank you, I was remembering to tag y‘all and then forgot on the most important post 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 3mo
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 🤓 3mo
CBee @E.Bolhafner I‘ve bought duplicates like that before, it happens 😂🤷‍♀️ 3mo
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.
3mo
Liz_M @CBee I only remember to add the tag if it is an event that i am intrigued by 😆 3mo
CBee @E.Bolhafner oh wow! I‘ve accidentally bought both the print book and the ebook too. But you win, that‘s a lot 😂😂 3mo
CBee @Liz_M care to join us? 😁 3mo

RaeLovesToRead I am going to do this, BUT I'm gonna treat it casually... basically I want to have 1 book on the go on my Kindle each month and this should be a good way of making sure I don't neglect them! 😄 3mo
RaeLovesToRead I will pick a book from those you've drawn as my "up next" ? 3mo
CBee @RaeLovesToRead yes! It‘s all about casual, I couldn‘t do anything strict! Ain‘t nobody got time for that 😂😂 3mo

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!
