WWW Wednesday: October 16, 2024

My reading so far this month is very slow. I finally finished a few books that I started a while ago. I doubt I’ll hit the 12+ books I read last month. But that’s ok! I’m just happy that I can keep reading.

WWW Wednesday was revived and hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words. The idea is to answer the three questions below and leave a link to your post in the comments for others to look at. No blog? No problem! Just leave a comment with your responses.

To Be Read Book Tag

Published on October 15, 2024October 13, 2024 by Celeste7 Comments

I’m in the mood for a book tag, so I looked through some of the ones I saved over the years. The To Be Read Book Tag, created by Tabitha at Behind the Pages, caught my eye. The rules are pretty simple: link back to Tabitha’s original post and tag as many bookish friends as you like! Tabitha also created the book tag image.

At the end of my answers is the list of prompts for you to use as well. I linked to each book on Bookshop.org. While I’m not an affiliate of theirs, each time you purchase from Bookshop.org it helps support an independent bookstore. If it’s not available on Bookshop.org, I linked to Barnes & Noble (also not an affiliate link).

Wow, look at me, three days in a row of posting! Don’t get used to it! As usual, I’m juggling between several different books, just like last week. I read a lot last month and don’t really expect to slow down any time soon since I’m also a judge for the SFINCS competition. WWW Wednesday is a nice way for me to recap some of what I’m reading in real-ish time.
