Readalong Roundup

We're almost two thirds of the way through the fall readalong, which means we'll get to see the Winter Readalong picks soon, if I understand correctly.

So I'd love to pick your brains - I was wondering, both for the Fall Readalong and for the Dias de los Muertos readalong (or just one of them if you prefer, I don't make the rules)...

how did you like the selections overall?
which books, if any, turned out to be sleeper hits for you that you enjoyed better than you thought you would?
which books, if any, were perhaps sleeper "fails" for you, in that you enjoyed them less than expected?
if you didn't read all the book options: what made you choose the one(s) you ended up reading?
if you read all of them: how would you rank them and how did you enjoy the full package overall?
for those who have been here for a year and more: how did the Fall 2025 readalong compare to the Fall 2024 readalong in your opinion?
any other fun thoughts, questions, observations, tributes to my black cat, hopes, dreams, plans for world domination?

Let's chat 🥰

I've got a question for you all: Why you show the badges you currently have? (I mean the three on your profile) Like why then and not the others?

The Halfling's Harvest

S.L. Rowland

When pumpkins glow and cider flows, behold the harvest’s magic. For most halflings, the annual harvest festival is a time to revel in life's simple pleasures—hearty feasts, flowing wine, and warm hospitality. But for Marigold Bramblefoot, owner of the Dew Drop Inn and Vineyard, it’s the busiest—and most stressful—time of the year. Juggling an inn full of quirky guests, preparing for the bustling festivities, and managing her vineyard would be enough to overwhelm anyone. But Marigold has her sights set on something winning first place in the annual wine competition and finally stepping out of her father’s shadow. The only problem? Her rival, Darkroot Cellars, has dominated the competition for a decade thanks to the druidic magic behind their wines. With her hands full and her heart set on success, Marigold must balance the chaos of the festival, a budding romance, and unraveling the vineyard's hidden mysteries, all while discovering what it truly means to craft her own legacy. Because in Willowbrook, the harvest festival is more than a celebration—it’s a season for transformation, and Marigold’s is long overdue. About the Welcome to the enchanting world of Tales of Aedrea, where small-scale stories, low-stakes adventure, and cozy fantasy come to life within an epic, high-fantasy realm.

Tender ISN'T the Flesh

by kathytrithardt

35 books

So you wanna go vegetarian, vegan, or plant based after the trauma of reading Tender is the Flesh? I got you. (jk, I've been mostly vegan for over a decade and just figured I should make a list). None of this is medical or nutritional advise, talk to a professional about that.
