Scallydandling about the books | People April: Tilly and Ros sharing our highlights @scallydandlingaboutthebook2711 | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 22 minutes ago.
The most exciting thing that's happened to me this weekend is that Tilly @tillysshelf came to visit bringing our new cat little Loki. But of course we also found time to talk books.
This is a People April highlights conversation.
A huge thank you from me to Elisabeth @bouquinsbooks who had the idea of a readathon based on life writing of all kinds. She and I have been thrilled by how booktube has embraced this and we will definitely bring it back for a third round in 2025 so even more of us can be inspired to read biographies, memoirs, letters, diaries and more. The Discord conversations have been tremendous so thanks to everyone on there, including those who expanded my experience of the groupread I Am I Am I Am by MaggieO'Farrell. I have really enjoyed watching the responses to the This or That book tag and all the other great #peopleapril content I've seen. I wish I could link to everything!
Elisabeth has done a brilliant round up about both the groupread and the stats from the tag answers youtu.be/0RK8x4e6VZc?si=0SZKSF1eF3UxpJgT
Tilly and I mention #picturethis hosted by @spreadbookjoy and @Shellyish and the multiple People April videos by @saintdonoghue
