Welcome to Litsy!

Friends, have any of you read books on Leonard Cohen that especially spoke to you? I‘ve found in the past few years music memoirs/biographies on artists who‘ve held a special place in my life keep showing up in my best of lists at the end of the year, so I was thinking of artists I might read about next year. I know there are a ton of books about Cohen floating around out there, but I don‘t know anything in particular about any of them…

Thought I‘d try this - I don‘t do well with challenges and this seems like an easier one 😊 SO! Litten friends, I need 12 recommendations of books you think I should read this year. One recommendation per person, please.
Just no nonfiction, I don‘t have the bandwidth for it 😂 Not a huge sci-fi fan either but I don‘t rule anything out! Thanks! #12bookschallenge

I need short story recommendations.

I haven‘t been on in a while. I haven‘t been reading in a while either. I‘m in one big ole depression slump. I can‘t focus on much but maybe I can handle short stories. I honestly don‘t know.

I‘m at the point with my year long challenges where most of the books I have left to read are the ones that I‘m really stumped on what to read (or really worry I won‘t enjoy what I pick). I‘d love some suggestions on these prompts. #readharderchallenge #readingwomenchallenge

HA! All the time! 😂😂😂

I‘ve only read two books published this year and haven‘t really bought any new releases lately. What are some good 2019 books that have already been released that I should be reading? 📚

Itching to start a new book but I can‘t pick one!! (I happen to be SUPER indecisive. 🤷🏻‍♀️)

I‘d love to pick a book from the top row- those lovelies have been on my shelf a while and are giving me a prolonged guilt trip. 😅😶

Any recommendations? 🥰

Looking for recommendations! My husband is starting to listen to more audiobooks but he likes the thrillers and that‘s not really my jam. Anyone have any good thriller audio recommendations that‘ll keep his interest in books going? Thanks!

It‘s been a busy year for me, which means a lot of rereading and a lot of backlist books. I‘m a slump and want to change things up for 2019.
1. What‘s the best book you read this year?
2. Where do y‘all go to find new releases?
Love you lots, littens.

#recommendsday request: between the current news cycle and personal tragedy, I've had a hard time concentrating on reading this past week. If anyone could recommend me something light and feel-good to read, I'd be most obliged. Thank you!

This is my first set of recommendations from Book Riot‘s TBR service (you pay for recommendations or you can pay for recommendations + physical books) and they did a great job. One book was already on my TBR, but the other two I had not heard of. And the recommendations actually felt personalized so all in all, I‘m impressed! Not making any money off this, just thought y‘all might be curious too.

Okay listen, not just any book. But a free or VERY low cost but also VERY good book. I enjoy true crime, supernatural,thrillers, police procedurals, jack the ripper, hh holmes, and wonderland. I've been laid off so I cant affird the hour drive to the library or buying expensive books... So I turn to you, fellow amazing littens, with a plea for something good and free that I'd enjoy while waiting to hear back about job applications.

I NEED YOUR HELP:

I‘m looking for recommendations for books that make you happy; preferably gentle books as opposed to ones that are witty or funny.

I‘m currently reading The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. It‘s amazing, but I think I need to set it aside for a short time for something lighter because I‘m struggling with anxiety. I realise being able to do this is part of privilege but I need to take care of myself.

Thank you. ❤️

Hey guys, I‘m taking a cruise this weekend and because I am who I am, I‘m taking a couple of books with me. Any recommendations?

Hi! I'm following @Kalalalatja and her excellent idea for #recommendationschallenge2018. I'd like to make my own list, though, so please link your favourite books in the comments below to help me make my list. #asklitsy

Okay guys. Im in search of some awesomely scary and suspenseful novels. So I‘m taking any recommendations on thrillers, mysteries, and horror books y‘all love!

I have never read any Robin Hobb. This needs to change. Please can a kind Litten give me a recommended reading order (doesn't have to be 'official' or chronological). Thank you in advance my lovelies.

Help!

My nephew is turning 18 next month. He is autistic with severe social anxiety that suffers panic attacks. He is also very intelligent and has heart geared toward fighting injustice and inequality. He has provided some guidance through his mom for each member of the family regarding gifts. Knowing I'm the reader in the family, his request from me is a book or books that I think he would like.

I have a few ideas but looking for more

Top row is books / series I'm in the middle of and really need to kick my butt on reading.

Middle row is the remaining #Booktopia books I have to read (with extra Peter Heller as bonus).

Bottom row is just books I'd like to get to soon.

Also have to kick my butt back into #HPChapteraDay.

Gonna be a busy month!

#FunFridayPhoto My shelfie! Not counting a few stacks that might be hidden here and there. ☺️

Trying to decide on a book journal for next year, thought maybe I'd try something different than my usual notebook. Plus the lists are awesome. I'm leaning towards Read, Remember, Recommend. The others are smaller and would fit in my bag, but I like the layout of this one the best.
