Ok #hashtagbrigade here is our April/May book! This book has 59 chapters! This is open to everyone, just remember that my hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers, so don‘t read my post until you‘ve read the day‘s chapter! We will read a chapter a day, starting April 1. Drop a comment below if you are joining in!

Please accept my apologies that we skipped a month. Health issues prevented me from doing a lot of things. Anyway, I am picking up where we left off with voting. The winner is Rabbits by Terry Miles. My library has it and I see used copies on Amazon at low as $6.59 and ebay starting at $4.72.

#QueerBC April's author is Alan Hollinghurst! This is an author l'm aware of but never read anything by them. I think I have The Line of Beauty haunting my shelves somewhere
Have you read this author before? Drop any recommendations in the comments
Don't forget March's author is Bushra Rehman.
There is still loads of March left! How are we all getting on?
Well folks, believe it or not we're about halfway through March! So it's time to mention our April babies waiting patiently in the wings for their days to shine.😎
If you'd like to be celebrated on YOUR special day, it's easy! Just send your name, Litsy handle and birthdate to litsybirthdays@gmail.com. The #birthdayfairies and Litsyland will look forward to partying with you.
April's gonna be another great month for #birthdaylove🎈🥳🎈

Sorry everyone for getting so behind on #HitchToScreen ! It's been a rough few weeks. But I'm happy to announce our next buddy read is a favorite of mine, Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier.
The movie is amazing as well. Remember it's very casual. We have 6 weeks to read the book, just post a review & tag me when you're done. Anyone is welcome to join! If you'd like to be added or removed from the tag list, let me know. Happy reading!
@BarbaraJean birthday fun 🎉
My birthday is in just under 3 weeks & l've been putting together a multi-year reading challenge to complete before 3/31/28 (my 50th birthday). I went through my physical shelves & TBR lists and chose 50 books l'd really like to finish before I turn 50. Then, I wrote prompts for each-so anyone who'd like to join me can choose their own books for the challenge. Who wants to read #50x50 along with me?

I‘ve had this on my shelf for a long time & I‘d really like to tackle it this year! Is anyone interested in a buddy read?
It‘s a trilogy of historical novels set in 14th-c Norway, originally published in 1920, 1921 & 1922. These would work well for anyone finishing the #192025 challenge this year. I‘m planning to use the first 2 books for 1920 &1921.

God forbid he uses actual chapters to make our lives easy 🙄 #thisfreakingguy #anyway take a look at how I divided it up and let me know if it doesn‘t work. I can spread out some of the longer sections an extra day. For the multiple day chapters… they are divided into sections, so the numbers at the end are how many sections each day. Hope this makes sense. Drop your thought below #hashtagbrigade we start Saturday

Apparently I have somehow managed to pack literally everything I need to create create the #BookSpin post, including, but not limited to, the bowl of numbers, copies of blank bingo boards, and permanent markers 😂 Random number generators and Canva to rescue, I guess!!
March's #BookSpin is TWELVE and the #DoubleSpin is ONE!!

Sticking with the cardboard box background here, because that's my life right now 😂 I know everyone loves posting their boards!! But if you decide to post yours before March 2, could you please use the BookSpinBingo book and then hide it as a spoiler so that people don't see the numbers unless they want to? I appreciate everyone working with me this month!!!

This month, we turn our attention to the essential creatures that sustain life on earth. I hope there is lots to learn in this book. Invertebrates, insects, creepy-crawlies, whatever you call them, are not my strong suit. I'm looking forward to getting to know them and their world better. 🐜🪳🐞🦟🦗

Hello #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub reading friends! Our second group read of 2025 kicks off in March. This‘ll be the 3rd title from Moore that we‘ve read together. IMO her books aren‘t particularly cosy- they definitely have a few sharp edges. Let‘s see how this one turns out🤔 Read at your own pace & be sure to tag the group when you post.

100% would have forgotten about posting this if @Liseworks hadn't reminded me 😂 Anyone can play along - items can be found on the front, back, or spine of the book. Unless a word is in quotation marks (in which case, you need that actual word), items can be a picture of the item or the word (i.e. stripes on the cover or the word stripes). You can use this board just this month, or keep going until you clear it.

How is everyone feeling about the series so far?
I‘ve got about 50 pages left of Assassin‘s Apprentice will hopefully get it finished this week. I‘m excited and a little intimidated by the second book. Been an age since I‘ve read anything that long and I think it‘s going to hurt but also fuck yeah my favourite character!
