Boxing Day
A day that disappeared so fast I barely knew what was happening. I managed to get some writing but barely. I
am struggling on that front today.
Sent out my thank yous and failed to call my insurance. That was my boxing day (that and laundry)
I did sign up for storygraph today (female run so that's nice). So far, it looks like the import didn't work and the graphics are blah but we'll see. (same name as here)
But it got me thinking about reading challenges and all that jazz. What are you all doing? I'm doing Popsugar challenge, Storygraph's onboarding challenge and on facebook Cloak & Dagger, alphabet challenge, and the literary destination challenge (read a book in all 50 states and other countries count too), and on goodreads 50 book challenge and the Mount TBR challenge.
Here in the blogs duckprintpress is having a challenge over on storygraph
The Duck Prints Press 2025 Queer Book Challenge! and my friend evil_little_dog has a challenge here. on LJ
The Haunted Minds Horror book club on FB has shortlisted Gasps, the horror anthology I'm in for an anthology award which is cool.
Mom randomly recorded Scooby Doo and the Gourmet and it turns out that two of the main characters were Bobby Flay and Giada de Laurentis and it was actually quite fun.
Since I didn't get to this yesterday
What I Just Finished Reading:
The Vanishing at Smokestack Hollow - true crime, not bad, no resolution because well the crime is unsolved so...
What I am Currently Reading:
The Lost House - icelandic noir arc, I want to slap this protagonist
Once Upon a Seaside Murder - fits a popsugar prompt and ...I want the protagonist to be the killer's next victim. I paid money (not much) so I want to finish it. If this was a library book it would be back by now. The sleuth is a snob, a bitch and even admits kindness is not something she does. Ugh.
Murder on Marble Row - a historical mystery set in NY, it's not bad. It was part of a gift last year book 6 in a series of about 2 dozen.
What I Plan to Read Next: working thru a bunch of mysteries to give them to mom (but I ain't giving her that seaside one...).
