By the way, I was lookng at the All For One. I am not on Instagram or tiktok that often, but are there places where I can look at lists of books that have been recommended? Also what are the Book Shimmy Awards?

Sylvs, I'll take a look at the other two and see if anything strikes me!

Ooh, very nice! So far I have (view spoiler) for Neurodivergent Rep, but that's it. I might try Binti because I loved her Akata Warrior trilogy. Here's my potential list for Tropes, but I'm having trouble finding Forced Proximity:(view spoiler)
The one for Only One Bed could be used for Forced Proximity since it's not exactly one bed--it's a tight office. But then I would need a book for Only One Bed. The last two are from one of my favorite authors and I've read and loved the Verania books, but now I have the audiobooks so I want to listen to them!
Sarah, I would love to try to make my way through the Diversity category and Genre, so maybe we can help each other think of books for our categories. I think I read a couple of books for that category in January, but obviously that won't help, ha ha!
Awesome! Looking forward to this! I'm in the middle of a time crunch this week, but I want to sit down and figure out books I can use for the prompts. Some of them are definitely challenging!
I'm in! :)
Count me in! :) Considering the number of books I made it through, my list only went down by about 50, lol!
Okay, so I finished the graphic novel version of this book just before the end of the year and I remembered how much I enjoyed getting to know Bod and the denizens of the graveyard. I'm happy to participate in the discussion, but I'm waiting for my copy of the full-cast narration of this book to come into my library for a reread. The graphic novels were my third experience with this book. I've read the hardcover (signed by Neil Gaiman!), I've listened to Neil Gaiman narrate his books, and I've read the graphic novels. The new full-cast narration is supposed to be pretty good, so I'm looking forward to that.
Thanks, everyone! This was a lot of fun and I picked up some recommendations for more reads from others! And I was able to make a small dent in my TBR pile, including hitting quite a few that sat languishing on my shelf for a long time. So it was win-win all around. :)
