Hello #booksky! I have read three books after Oona Out of Order. I read If We Were A Movie by @zakiyanjamal.bsky.social for the @bookriot.bsky.social Reading Challenge 2025. I read the other two books for pure enjoyment. Rhys Bowen & J.D. Robb have lovely series.

I just noticed I have more followers than who I follow.

Hello #booksky! I'm almost up to date on my monthly reading challenges. I read a book about books called Lula Dean's Little Library of Banned Books for the Easy Reading Challenge for June. The non-linear narrative book for the Beyond The Bookends is Oona Out of Order which is almost done.

Here's the pile which was read in the month of May.

I'm almost done with Magda Revealed @ursulawerner.bsky.social! My review will be on @librarything.com!

I did it! Verified by Mike Caulfield & Sam Wineburg has been read. I have completed the @bookriot.bsky.social Read Harder Challenge 2024. I’m reading A Pocket Full of Rye by Agatha Christie now for fun. I’ll probably follow that with a Perry Mason or Jane and the Final Mystery by Stephanie Barron.

Then, there’s www.betterworldbooks.com 2024 Reading Challenge. I’ve kept up with reading a book every month that fits each challenge. I’m going to be reading The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen as it won the National Book Award for October.

Next, the www.beyondthebookends.com 2024 Reading Challenge. I have managed to read a book each month that fulfills the challenge. I am reading Reluctant Assassin by Fiona Buckley for Historical Mystery for October. I’m on @thestorygraph.com if you want to look at this challenge in greater detail.

OK! Lots of updating to do on my reading for 2024. Let’s start with the #Bookriot Read Harder Challenge. I am down to my last book of the 24 challenges. The picture is the challenges and the books I assigned myself. I have a media literacy book left.

Here’s my #BookRiot Read Harder Challenge 2024 list. I’ve got 6 books left to read. I gave myself 3 1001 BYMRBYD list books”: The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams✔️, Ada or Ardor by Vladimir Nabokov✔️, & The Master & Margarita (not read yet). See www.bookriot.com for the challenges.

This is my BookRiot Read Harder Challenge 2023. I’ve been doing it since 2016. So, I’d like to keep the streak going. I have five books left.
