Happy Saturday everyone!  Today I'm sharing my TBR for the  Reindeer Readathon  which will run for the entire month of December.  It is hosted by  Erik @ Breakeven Books  with some help from  Christine & Mo ,  Kristin ,  Hannah ,  Vanessa , Tina , Ahtiya , and  Steffany .  I'm on Team Snowflake this year which is hosted by Tina and Steffany.  I've been participating in this readathon since 2021, and I'd say I've got a great tbr put together for this year's round.  Without further ado, let's get to my tbr:  DASHER - 10 PTS - A book where the combined sum total of all the numbers in the page count must be greater than 12. An example would be 392 (3+9+2=14) My choice: Ronan Boyle and the Bridge of Riddles ( Ronan Boyle #1) by Thomas Lennon - I don't read MG often, but this sounds fun.   +20 BONUS POINTS - CHRISTMAS TREE DANCER - 20 PT S - A book that matches (genre, trope, theme etc.) one of the ...

      On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, currently hosted by  Anne @ My Head Is Full of Books , 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 Anne'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. Happy Friday everyone!  This week I'm spotlighting one of my  SciFi Month 2025  books,  Peacemaker ( Doctor Who: New Series Adventures #21) by James Swallow .  By the way, SciFi Month is a month long celebration of all things sci-fi and it's hosted by Lisa @  Dea...

    Happy Thursday everyone! Welcome back to  Books from the Backlog , the weekly linkup I'm taking part of which is hosted by  Carole's Random Life in Books .  This is a great way to put a spotlight on books that I've had sitting on my shelf for awhile.  I don't know when I'll get to my weekly featured book, but I hope to some time hopefully soon.   In honor of  SciFi Month 2025  (Image credit: Artwork by Yuriy Nedopekin ) , all this November I'm featuring sci-fi books. This Week's Neglected Book: Terms of Enlistment ( Frontlines #1) by Marko Kloos Published: March 14, 2013 Genre: Military sci-fi space opera My Copy: Format: Trade Paperback Where I Acquired It: I picked this up at a local thrift shop.  I've only been there once so far, but it really made an impression.  You know the tv show Hoarders ?  Well, it looks just like one of those houses on the inside.  I literally have no idea how the place is a...

  Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl .  In honor of  SciFi Month 2025 , a celebration of all things sci-fi and it's hosted by Lisa @  Dear Geek Place , Imyril @  There's Always Room For One More , Annemieke @  A Dance With Books , and Mayri @  Book Forager  (Image credit: Artwork by Yuriy Nedopekin ), all of my Top Ten Tuesday posts will be sci-fi themed.   This week's topic is Modern Books You Think Will Be Classics In The Future and this month's prompt challenge which puts a sci-fi spin on it.  Today's is Future Classics and the ten books I'm featuring will all be considered classics in the future (if they aren't already).  Without further ado, here we go in alphabetical order by title: 11/22/63  by Stephen King Dark Matter by Blake Crouch The Fifth Season ( The Broken Earth #1) by N.K. Jemisin Illuminae ( The Illuminae Files #1) by Amie Kauf...

    Happy Music Monday everyone!  In honor of  SciFi Month 2025  (Image credit: Artwork by Yuriy Nedopekin ) , all this November  I'm sharing some sci-fi inspired music.  Rules: Every Monday share a few songs you've been enjoying lately.  It doesn't have to be a specific genre, new, or one of your favorites - just something you'd like to share with others.  If possible, share a music or lyric video of the song and your thoughts on the song(s), artist(s), and/or music video(s). If you would like to participate in Music Monday, please join the link up by sharing your post's url.  In honor of Music Monday of Sci-Fi Month 2025, I'm sharing music from the tv series Dark Matter .  I absolutely loved Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and the tv series adaptation does a great job of bringing it to life.  Joel Edgerton is pretty great as Jason and the visuals for the box and some of the worlds we get to visit are something else.  I...
