I don‘t make a habit of planning a list. I end up ignoring it anyways. What I usually do is look up on the website to see if books I want are in stock. If I‘m on a time crunch I‘ll place a pick up order. If I‘m in no rush I‘ll browse the aisles and snap pics of books I‘m interested in for later. Today was a rare moment of prepping a list. Simple enough, since it was only one. 😅
@BookmarkTavern #SundayFunday

BookmarkTavern I have so many pictures on my phone of books for later! 😅 Thanks for sharing! 2d

I missed the entire month of October and last entries for November of #DraculaDaily due to ending one job and starting another one. I‘ll be getting caught up to finish Dracula tonight. This was quite an experience to see those hilariously titled emails. I might repeat it next year or sit back and observe other people‘s readalong. 10/10 recommend pairing the book with Re: Dracula audio adaptation https://redracula.live/

#TPRC 19. Falling: a book that's likely to make you emotional
It took some time searching for emotional book rec‘s that fit with the prompt. I was reading through a Reddit thread and I wasn‘t feeling moved to check out the books mentioned. Until that is I came across a commenter‘s experience with reading The Bone People. That has been on my tbr for years and maybe this is a sign to get it read in the near future.

Knitting Loom Guide | Kristen K Mangus

A few months ago I went careening down the loom/circular machine/flatbed machine knitting youtube rabbit hole. Flatbed looks intriguing, but expensive. Jury‘s still out on circular machine. Looming was affordable and now here I am playing around with Loops & Threads build-a- loom trying to figure the sourcery of this. Are there any #CraftersofLitsy who knit with different methods? I admire you because this looming has my mind 🤯

I knew immediately what I will be choosing for #TPRC Katherine Martell - a book you had/will have to push yourself through.
My kryptonite book is House of Leaves. I tried solo, buddy reads, chapter a day. Only to pull the parachute cord and bail. 🪂
YouTuber Oskar/A Theory Reader has taken on the brave task of audiobooking HoL. I want to wait until he‘s finished with it before I make another attempt at it.

The day to read the hexalogy series has arrived. I had to complete my set since I stopped at Library of Souls. Distracted by other books was more of a cause than lack of interest that paused the continuation of reading the Peculiar Children series. I have to finish The Girl Who Raced Fairyland All the Way Home. Then it‘s onto MGHfPC
