Happy Saturday everyone! Today I'm sharing my plans for the August 2024 round of the Trope-ical Readathon which is hosted by @jenjenreviews and @bookrob13 . It will run the entire month of August and I'm joining Team Contemporary/ Literary/ Historical Fiction for a change this time around. As usual, there are fifteen total challenges to complete - two team challenges and thirteen common challenges (you either read a book that fits the given trope or one that fits the alternate prompt). Each team also has two choices (a newer or an older book) for your Team Book as well. For each challenge you complete, team book you read, and each page you read, you earn points for your team, You can also follow the official Trope-ical Readathon on Twitter and with the hashtag #TropeicalReadathon .

On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by Freda's Voice ( Anne @ My Head Is Full of Books is currently managing hosting duties), and Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader . For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader.

This week I'm spotlighting one of my one of my Beat The Backlist 2024 books, Conan Doyle for the Defense: The True Story of a Sensational British Murder, a Quest for Justice, and the World's Most Famous Detecti
