I currently have SIX audiobooks on the go because I can‘t seem to stick to anything. 😅

Tbh, I‘ve mostly been binging The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and snuggling the fur babies while I take it easy. Puddles is still obsessed with my bump, and I love it. Anyways, all is well! Less than two months to go! 🥰

Hey! Just checking in to let everyone know all is well! Just haven‘t been doing any reading at all - my minimal brain power and energy has been put towards nesting and getting ready for baby Benjamin.💙

Time is such a crazy thing. I‘ve been pregnant for three seasons, but yet it feels like no time at all, and also not soon enough until we meet him.😊

I‘ve been working on building up his little library, with my favourite book being Pig the Pug.🐶

Clwojick @iamcourtneyb Most of my go-tot‘s were childhood favourites like Robert Munsch, Little Critters, Clifford, Berenstain Bears,Franklin, Arthur etc. But some newer gems I‘ve found include the Pig the Pug series, Pug and Chick, anything by Sandra Boynton, and then anything Holiday themed! (Christopher Pumpkin is a Halloween gem!) I LOVE the “How Do Dinosaurs…” series, but I haven‘t purchased any yet. ☺️ 1mo

Clwojick @BarbaraBB No, sorry! I‘m trying to limit the challenges I‘m hosting next year, since I know it‘ll be a busy one for me. I have a little one on the way, and I don‘t know how active I‘ll be on here in the coming months. Especially since I‘ve been in the worst of reading slumps.

Merry Christmas #TeamEvergreen!

Here is the final weekly game for this years annual #WinterGames! Keep in mind that last weeks “Spell as many words as you can” game will be extended to the end of the event as well, so you have more time to work on those lists of words!

I‘m wishing you a very merry Christmas, and the happiest of new years! Stay safe and healthy during this crazy season! ❤️

Hey #TeamEvergreen!

Sorry I haven‘t been too active on here this past week. I hit an end of the year slump, and haven‘t been reading much at all. We did watch this movie the other night, only to find out that Puddles is terrified of the grinch.🤣 He‘s never even acknowledged the TV before, let alone barked at or ran away from it!

December has flown by so far, but I started off strong with 36,115 points for #TeamEvergreen. Thank you #WGWordSearch! 😜

Pictured are some of the books that have stuck with me so far! ❤️

Here‘s my breakdown ☺️
15 holiday movies
4 holiday tv shows
17 holiday audiobooks
80 children‘s holiday books
1 TBR audiobook
5 holiday comics
8 TBR comics

Going to save those sweet sweet bingo points for the end of the #WinterGames 😊

Watched a few more Christmas Holiday movies, and visited Vanderwees, a local garden store that decorated like crazy for Christmas, and sells the more insane ornaments. They must have 100-150 differently decorated trees, all stunning! The only photo I snapped was this bee ornament for my girlfriend who loves bees. ❤️ #TeamEvergreen

The only thing he loves to destroy is cardboard and paper. 🤣 He‘s had maybe 4 toys we‘ve had to throw out in the 15 months we‘ve had him. Since we can‘t resist buying him more, that also means he has a bench full of 75 or so toys. 🫣 3mo

Kind of hard to see, but just a reminder that GoogleBooks makes it really easy to go back and double check your #WGWordSearch points. You search a book, and then type each word into the “search in this book” bar. It will show you how many times that word was said.

Not every book is available to preview, but I‘ve had a lot of luck with previous years. Kindle Unlimited is another way to search too! #WinterGamesTips

sebrittainclark That is an inspiring level of organization! 4mo
Clwojick @LiseWorks we‘ll still try to post the monthly boards, but I know I have a busy year coming up so we wanted to get it all set up in case we couldn‘t post in time. ☺️ 4mo
LiseWorks @Clwojick I understand! I have them all copied on my phone. I think maybe this year I will try to finish them even if it's way after the month lol. I find I'm more of a mood reader than reading books with bingo promps lol 4mo
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Hoping to get the StoryGraph aspect organized over the next couple weeks - I'll post when I do!! 4mo
Deblovestoread I‘m in. I‘m now in love with all the bingo boards! 😍 4mo
JenReadsAlot You are amazing to get that all set up already!! 4mo
Read4life I‘m really excited for another year of this! I love the bingo boards and find the StoryGraph aspect keeps all of my challenges in one place. 🤓 4mo
aperfectmjk Sweeeeet! This is one of the few challenges I actually stuck with through the entire year. Actually it's probably the only challenge that pulled me out of reading slumps at times, so thank you for that! 💕 4mo
Clwojick @aperfectmjk awe! Thank you! I‘m glad you had fun with it this year. ☺️ 4mo
julieclair Wow, this is great! Love the mini themed bingos. Thanks for all your work on this! 4mo
bthegood Thank you!! 4mo
LocalTXLibrarian how does ispy bingo work? do i look for the prompts on book covers or the prompts in the text in the book? i‘m looking for challenges to do in 2024 and i‘m curious about this one. ☺️ 4mo
Clwojick @LocalTXLibrarian We‘re pretty lax with the rules, but the general idea is to find the word in the title, or the item on the cover/spine/back cover of the book. We‘ve been doing it in 2023, so feel free to check the #ISpyBingo tag for inspiration! (edited) 4mo
LocalTXLibrarian @Clwojick thanks for the clarification! ☺️ 4mo
Clwojick @LocalTXLibrarian we also have a storygraph challenge, so I‘ll check on there if I‘m stuck for which book to use for a certain prompt! 😜 https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/265c3ab9-c799-4d41-857c-d991e83... 4mo

Hey everyone! We‘re happy to announce we have some changes for next years #BacklistReadathon challenge ☺️ Take your time to see what option works best for you, and be sure to tag us in your 2024 planning!

GHABI4ROSES OOOH! What is Backlist? More opportunities for nerding?! @DieAReader @Andrew65 4mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @GHABI4ROSES blacklist are books by authors that have been out for awhile (usually anything more that a year or two old). It is a publishing term where they move the authors order work to the "back" and their new stuff to the marketing "front" 4mo
TheBookHippie Let the planning begin 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 4mo
TheAromaofBooks Woot woot!!! 4mo
Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES Looks another great challenge to get those reading lists down. Think I‘d go with option two as allows more variability and can still focus on an author a month with that option should we want to at any time. @DieAReader (edited) 4mo
DieAReader @Andrew65 I agree! Count me in @Clwojick 🤓❤️‍🔥 Another perfect excuse to read @GHABI4ROSES 😉📚 4mo
Read4life I‘m going to incorporate this with #Roll100 & #SeriesLove2024 💙💙 4mo
Clwojick @Read4life ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 4mo
RainyDayReading Looking forward to this! 4mo
Jari-chan Oh, I think I join that one! There are so many authors I want to read more of! 4mo
GHABI4ROSES @ChaoticMissAdventures oh that is fantastic. I will look at some tags as examples, they will now make sense! 4mo
GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65 Yup on Option 2! I wonder if my Stephen King list qualifies. That intersects with #LosersClubForever. Yes I am in it @DieAReader @Clwojick cus I always want an excuse to read! 4mo
Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES Stephen King list definitely fits. 4mo
GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65 You and @DieAReader know me with my Steve. I still have not received anything on #WinterGames2023 @Clwojick so it may be an operator error on my end! 4mo
OutsmartYourShelf Are there a minimum number of books needed per author? i.e. I have a couple of series where I only need to read 2-4 books to finish them. 3mo
Clwojick @OutsmartYourShelf No minimum! Just make it work for you! 🤍 3mo
OutsmartYourShelf @Clwojick Great, thank you 😀 3mo
Bookwormjillk I‘m in for option 2! 3mo

Hey #TeamEvergreens! Trying not to bombard you too much with all the event posters for WG that we have going on in December 😅 But I just wanted to let you know there are some photo challenges available in the GDoc folder! (Some from Litsy, some from Insta).

Following the same rules as all other photo challenges , 10pts per photo, bonus 5pts if it‘s bookish, which all of these should be! An extra 15pts if you read a book that fills a prompt.🎄

dabbe Just want to clarify. The Points Breakdown board says 10 points per photo + 5 if it relates to a book. 😍 4mo
Clwojick @dabbe let me clarify with @StayCurious since I thought that was pertaining to the Selfie Challenge, and all of these should be bookish themed. 😜 I‘ll let you know! 4mo
Clwojick @dabbe okay! We‘re going to just make them all the same, at the 10+5 :) still bonus if you read the book though! 4mo

Hey #TeamEvergreen! If you‘re getting a little overwhelmed by all the bingo cards, or wondering how you‘ll keep track of them all… I‘m printing off a bunch of these blank cards,& filling them out for each bingo I plan to participate in. I find it easier than keeping all the photos on my phone,& I‘m not using as much ink compared to printing out all the coloured ones. Then I can colour them in as I go!

Just wanted to share my tip!

Clwojick There‘s three different printable options saved to the #WinterGames Google Drive, in the Templates & Trackers folder. ❤️ 4mo
Lizpixie That‘s brilliant! I get so confused sometimes trying to find the right board when I need it. Thanks Cassandra!♥️ 4mo
Lizpixie @Clwojick hey lovely! You doing ok? Haven‘t seen you in a few days😘 4mo
Clwojick @Lizpixie just busy with life and work😊 I‘m not usually on here everyday anymore. 4mo

I will admit to having written my #WinterGames TBR & #BookSpinBingo list two months ago! 🤣 I pretty much wrote down every Christmas audiobook that I already have on my phone, since I‘m really trying to downsize the books I have on my phone before purchasing more. Sadly, this isn‘t even all of them.🫣

Most anticipated: A Murder Yule Regret - simply because there‘s a pug on the cover!

#TeamEvergreen

Roary47 I‘m trying to downsize too. It‘s so hard! 😭 4mo
Velvetfur How do you downsize audiobooks, I mean is that just deleting them or is there some kind of archive function....? As I feel I need to do the same! 4mo
Clwojick @Velvetfur it depends on the app. For Chirp I can just archive, and it deletes from the app unless I go back on the website and reinstall them. For NetGalley you have to delete them, and once they‘re gone it‘s for good. I don‘t reread books, so this is fine for me. I‘ve been trying to work on bringing my numbers down all year, since I started off 2023 with 700+ audios on my phone. 🫣 (edited) 4mo

Velvetfur @Clwojick Thank you for the tips! I just have Kindle app and Google Books so I'll see what they do that's similar to what you said. Over 700 though, wow! 😂 4mo
Clwojick @Velvetfur oh god. Kindle. I don‘t talk about my kindle. I just assume that one will never lower. I think I have 4,500+ 🫣 so out of control. 4mo
Velvetfur @Clwojick haha that's even more of a wow! 😂 4mo

Welcome to #TeamEvergreen!🌲

I‘m looking forward to being your team captain this holiday season. There will be more posts rolling out in the coming weeks, so don‘t fret about points & events quite yet! ☺️

For now, take a peak at the team movie and team read options! One is a romance, and one is a cozy mystery. As always, the 1st team read you finish will be worth 50pts, the 2nd worth the same as any other holiday read. Can‘t wait to get started!

TEArificbooks Yeah! I can‘t wait! I have Bright Lights already and we do Home Alone marathon each year. 4mo
vonnie862 Woot!!!! 4mo

Winter Games: A Mystery | John Feinstein

Hello everyone! We‘re looking for 2-3 more volunteers to be team leaders in this years #WinterGames! We‘re asking that the team leaders be open to communicating with the remainder of the team leaders via WhatsApp (you sign up with your phone number), tag their team in event posts, calculate their teams points at two monthly checkins, consider hosting readathons or sprints (suggested-not required), and most importantly SPREAD SOME HOLIDAY CHEER!🎄

Roary47 I‘m willing to help out @StayCurious 4mo
AmandaBlaze @Clwojick I‘m having a total knee replacement about a week from now, so I can‘t guarantee time to be a team leader. I could do a couple pop-up readathons if you want, though. 4mo

Although I always love a good #bulletjournal set up, I think I‘ll be going back to my old chaotic ways for this years #wintergames,& just have hundreds of loose sheets of paper & a clipboard. Makes it so much easier to print bingo boards, or track time for individual readathons when you‘re not working with a set amount of space. Although I wasn‘t the best at posting this month, I did manage to finish a total of 117 books, including kids books.😛👻
