My October Bucket List

/

The #Scarathlon2022 challenge on Litsy had us create an October Bucket List. I loved the idea and went a step further to create an October Reading Bucket List!

2022 October Reading Bucket List

  • Read by the fire pit

  • Read while drinking a pumpkin spice latte in a bakery or cafe

  • Read while eating pie

  • Listen to an audiobook while raking

  • Read on the front porch while drinking something warm

  • Read a graphic novel

  • Read a mystery all in one day

  • Listen to an audiobook while on a left peeping walk

  • Read while wearing a sweater

  • Read while eating candy

  • Listen to an audiobook while doing a craft

  • Read while drinking a seasonal cocktail

  • Read while wearing fuzzy socks

I can hardly wait for this weekend and all things October!

The Trouble With Theme Reading

/

This month I’ve been taking part in a reading challenge on Litsy. The goal is to earn points for my team by reading as many books about Halloween and dark and twisty mysteries as I can. It’s been fun, and I’ve met some great people, but boy am I tired of unreliable narrators and psychopaths. There are still 8 days left in October, and I’m not sure I’m going to make it to the finish line.

This isn’t a job, and my team will win nothing but bragging rights, but also I live in fear of letting people down. That said, if I read any more about murder I might never read again. (My solution- re-read the Baby-Sitters’ Club. Not a super good use of my time.)

Does anyone else have these problems reading on theme? Right now I can’t wait for it to be November so I can curl up with something cozy.
