I just have to share, last night was my 1st NYE alone, I saw your sprints and decided to join in for some company, but I fell asleep 💤. The video playing while I slept must’ve shaped my dream because I dreamed that you were hosting an in person reading sprints party at your house for NYE and invited my daughter and I. We came and had a great time. Your house was packed with people, one of your besties was there. We all set around reading and then talking about our books and snacking. 😂😂😂 Happy New Year 🎉
You jinxed yourself! Declining the ladder in your first roll and your game says I’ll make you pay for that! Soooo maaannnyy ones!! It was fun to giggle along with you and I hope your extra reads prove to be just as fun. Happy New Year! I can’t wait to see what blessings 2025 has in store for you. My family appreciates you so much. Thank you for being apart of our lives 😊
You are so smart to double up prompts like that! I was yelling with you at the 1s and 2s, but I squealed when you chose Hyunam-dong Bookshop for the debut. I hope you love it! It is perfect for January & new beginnings. And I would say it’s very hyped in translated & cozy book circles, plus it was nominated in 2 categories for the GR awards. Happy New Year! 🎉
Your rolls were rough! I used two dice to get less than 5 prompts, but I didn’t double up. YES … I hope the Appeal is a 5 star for you!! I just requested the Stuart Turton from the library and hope to join that read too. Good luck with your picks!
The bingo board had enough prompts for me! The board looked so fun though, I’ll have to do it next years! Sounds like you have a great TBR for this month!!
Again you look very pretty in your sparkles. That color is so flattering for you. I thought this video was so fun and the fact that you kept rolling ones made me giggle. I put the Korean book on my POP.
Oh dear! I'm also doing TBRathon, but I chose to go with the bingo board, and now I'm so glad I didn't risk it with the game board! Best of luck with all the reading!
me too! hoping to remember to make the switch. It's easier and more fun to say POP than TBR. haha. And gives brain space that it's ok if they don't all get read.
I’m interested to see what you think of Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop: A Novel. I was not able to get into it and I was excited about that one because it is set in a bookstore. I am starting to think I’m in a reading slump though.
The Last Murder at the End of the World was very interesting. It's out of my comfort zone, for sure. I definitely kept wanting to turn the pages. Your dice hates you lol.
I decided to create my own game like you. I used a monopoly board with prompts on it. I also created different spinners for different countries, ABC spinner and 50 before 50. I am happy with the ones I got for Jan
I love these videos, it’s so much fun watching you chose your TBR lol! My book club is reading “The 7 1/2 Deaths” this month! I’ve never read anything by Stuart Turton, but “The Last Murder” is on my TBR. I can’t wait to hear what you think of it! 🐶
I love watching TBR games too! I'm glad you're reading 7 and 1/2 Deaths with your book club. It helped me so much to process with a buddy. It was crazy.
I really enjoy Leandra’s games too, but the dice wasn’t kind to me. I need to read 12 books, so I’m doubling up for real. Books about books is my pick for favorite trope too. I held my breath until you got past the falling books because I landed on one of them. 💚
I am so sad that Nothing But The Truth is your lowest rated. I have never read it, but it is on my January tbr for reading Newbery books. I hope I love it!😂
Did I hear you say Nothing but the Truth is a play? It isn’t, so I was confused but I was only 1/2 paying attention lol! It is a book that as a teacher made so very angry. I read it for middle grade March last year. It is actually a text used in Louisiana in 8th grade. I just never taught 8th and even though I was a junior high librarian I never got around to reading it until last year.
I realize it's more mixed media and what I thought was a play was transcripts of conversations. You caught that mistake. Oops. I'll correct it in my wrap up. I'm still counting it as a genre blend, even though that's not really the case. I'm curious what I'll think about it.

Oh my word I love it! That would be a dream way to spend NYE...or any night really! I love it. Happy New Year!

🐶 - fun watching you play this game! good luck with these, and way to go, picking from your TBR cart!!

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉HAPPY new year!!
I love Sarah Addison Allen and Sugar Queen is my favorite so I hope you really enjoy it too.
Play/Drama is DEFINITELY a genre. 😉
I feel like this board game let your shiny blouse and headband down. 🤭
Here's a fancy dog to match your outfit! 🐩😃
Haha. Thanks so much. It worked out in the end because I'm so excited about my stack of books.
Love the sparkle!
Love when you can triple up!
Thanks. Yes. Double and tripling up saved the day! haha
🐶 Loved this video. It was fun.
Happy New Year to you Krista, from another book lover in Western Australia. 🇭🇲❤️📖📚
Cracking up at how dirty the die was to you on this board!!
Your rolls were rough! I used two dice to get less than 5 prompts, but I didn’t double up. YES … I hope the Appeal is a 5 star for you!! I just requested the Stuart Turton from the library and hope to join that read too. Good luck with your picks!
I think a troupe is what one makes it. 😂sounds good to me anyways.
I'm hoping to read the Appeal also in January.
The bingo board had enough prompts for me! The board looked so fun though, I’ll have to do it next years! Sounds like you have a great TBR for this month!!
I am so excited to dig into these!
i'm laughing so hard at how many ones you got in a row 😂 thankfully you can triple up on books cause that TBR would have been HUGE
Holy moly, right? I couldn't believe how many 1s I got! Crazy.
I love Leandra. I have done so many of her read-athons! I’m doing the bingo board and paws!
Me too! She does such a great job with the read-athons!
Again you look very pretty in your sparkles. That color is so flattering for you. I thought this video was so fun and the fact that you kept rolling ones made me giggle. I put the Korean book on my POP.
Holy moly all the ones was ridiculous! I hope we both love the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop one.
🐕🦺 I too have joined TBRathon as well!
Fun! Happy reading!
The hyped book was nominated for Goodreads award, so I would definitely say thats hyped.
Woohoo! I'll take it. haha
🐕 great video.
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
🐕 having a cozy reading type of day today - on page 59 of The Broken Girls - loving it
Sounds awesome. Enjoy!
If I did this I would get another 10 added to my TBR and then I would have to quit my job to get them all done! Ha! Actually, that sounds really nice!
Haha. Right?! I'm thankful to have a job where for now I can read a bit during nap times.
The amount of ones in rolls 😂 I very much enjoyed this video and I am also participating in TBRathon but I am using the island map 😁
Haha. SO many ones! Ridiculous, but kind of fun too. Hope you have fun doing the island one.
Hi Krista that was fun.I love Dice so that was right up my alley lol.Take care good reading for January enjoy.
Glad you enjoyed it. Happy New Year, Therese.
🐶 Good luck, have fun, and I hope you enjoy your books. Looking forward to your wrap up video already! … and Happy New Year!🎉
Thank you! I'm ready to get started!
Good luck with your book picks
Thanks Leann.
Oh dear! I'm also doing TBRathon, but I chose to go with the bingo board, and now I'm so glad I didn't risk it with the game board! Best of luck with all the reading!
Haha. I liked the Bingo board idea too. I just can't resist a board game!
I love Pile of Possibilities, fun! 🐶
me too! hoping to remember to make the switch. It's easier and more fun to say POP than TBR. haha. And gives brain space that it's ok if they don't all get read.
Your Sparkles look delightful. Looking forward to rolling your dice!
Thanks so much!
Happy new year to you
Happy new year
Happy new year
You too!!

I had 14 rolls, so I can totally relate! LOL You picked the perfect book for Beatriz' prompt. She loved that book! Happy New Year and Happy Reading!
Sweet! I am eager to read it. It sounds so cozy.
I’m glad you are getting to my recommendation from the retreat! Happy New Year! PJ
Yay! I am looking forward to this stack of books so much!
Happy reading 2025 🐶📚
Right back at ya!
That was fun!
I love Sarah Addison Allen and am trying to read her to zero! I really enjoyed The Sugar Queen and hope you do too. 🐶🐾
I just have a couple SAA books left. I'm excited to make more progress on reading her to 0. Thanks!
🐕 Happy New Year
Happy New Year, Beth. 🎉
Girl you need to go to Vegas with all those ones, loved your video you are always so cheerful!!!! 🐕
Holy moly. I rolled a ton of ones! Thanks, Darlene!
Happy New Year, Krista! 🎉🐶
Happy New Year!
The Last Murder at the End of the World was very interesting. It's out of my comfort zone, for sure. I definitely kept wanting to turn the pages. Your dice hates you lol.
Yeah, I agree that your dice hated you!!! LOL
I appreciate hearing your thoughts on the Turton book. Good grief. So many 1s! haha.
Several of these sound really great. 🐶
I hope they are!
Hi Krista…Happy New Year, dear friend! ❤🙏…Love your channel!
Thank you so much! Happy New Year to you too!
Happy New Year!🦮
Same to you!
🦮 Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!🐩
Happy new year!
Happy New Year 🎊
Same to you!
Whew! That was a lot of ones! 😅
Good grief! It was so crazy!
Happy New Year Krista.
Thanks you too!
I ended up with 16 or so rolls when I did mine as well and I’m hoping to double up some prompts as well haha happy reading Krista!
Phew! This game! haha. DId you fall down any stacks. At least I avoided that!
@ I did fall down a stack but only one luckily haha! I just kept getting 1s and 2s as well! Haha
I decided to create my own game like you. I used a monopoly board with prompts on it. I also created different spinners for different countries, ABC spinner and 50 before 50. I am happy with the ones I got for Jan
Very cool! I think I may make a 50 before 50 book stack. I have a year and a half to go.
I love these videos, it’s so much fun watching you chose your TBR lol! My book club is reading “The 7 1/2 Deaths” this month! I’ve never read anything by Stuart Turton, but “The Last Murder” is on my TBR. I can’t wait to hear what you think of it! 🐶

Oh man. Definitely double up! I was so glad to not have to fall down any book stacks. haha.
I am so sad that Nothing But The Truth is your lowest rated. I have never read it, but it is on my January tbr for reading Newbery books. I hope I love it!😂
I'm so curious as well. I didn't read any reviews or anything like that. Hopefully we both enjoy it!
🐕 📚
That die was not playing nicely for you! I'm going to watch her video. I love readathons! Happy New Year 🎉! 🐶

@ me too! I enjoyed it thought it made me angry! That probably doesn’t make sense lol!
I did two die. So I wouldn’t have so many books. I participate in so many challenges 😂

🦮I really like Nothing But the Truth and think it's underrated.
Sweet. I hope I enjoy it too.

🐶 🐶 I am a notorious silent watcher on UA-cam so my goal this year is to leave the emojis 😂
Love it! Thanks for being here...emojis or not. 💜
🐶🎲🥂📚
🐶 I would love to buddy read a Christian fiction book if you’re interested. I’ve really been loving Christian fiction lately ❤
🐾🪜🎲
So how many books are now on your January TBR? It seems you keep adding to it - lol. I know they are your list of possibilities
Haha. I have 13 all together and often read that much in a month so it's very possible to get to all of them. That would be awesome!
🐩
🐶🐕🦮🐕🦺🐩
You need a cup..more space to roll before you lay it out.
🐾🐕🦺
🐕🦺🐾🌭
You had more than 7 rolls, but you did wind up with 7 books....
I love that it worked out that way. Didn't realize it until editing! haha
Was that a trick die??😂
Happy New Year!🎉
Same to you!
Happy New Year! 🐶
To you too, Mikaela!
