Welcome to Litsy!

SEEKING ADVICE! I have agreed to take charge of reestablishing a local LGBTQ+ book club, with pretty much free reign to choose books/moderate/schedule how I‘d like. So, here are my questions. What has been your favorite queer book club read? And do you have any advice for moderating a book club and making it an engaging, welcoming, and fun experience?
This will be a new kind of challenge for me, but I‘m very excited for the possibilities. 📚

And my library delivery is in! How to decide what to read first

Who's got really good YA suggestions for my book club? We're meeting tonight, and I think we're leaning towards picking something YA for our next meeting 😁

Thanks in advance!

Hey 👋 What are you reading? #catsoflitsy 😺😺

Help! I‘m a non-fiction & literary fiction gal. I like books that make me think & change my perspective. I read about race, gender, history, & making the world better. I‘m tired & sad. Need a break from heavy books. Need books that will add joy to my life. I‘ve read ones described as light & cozy. I‘ve found them unfulfilling & trite. Tell me your happy favorites. Fiction or non, kid or adult. #readersadvisory

[#TopTenTuesday] Books I DNFed Too Quickly! Whether it was that I didn‘t have enough time to finish it before it was due at the library, I wasn‘t feeling the book, or I didn‘t give the book a fair shot, these are the books I want to (or have already) give a second chance. 📖📚

Here is a great inbetween read that all of you will for sure enjoy! It's a shortstory of incredible finese. Stick with it through the first couple of pages and you will be rewarded! Word magus Mark Z Danielewski at his best!

I am slowly updating my Goodreads TBR list to properly include the unread books I have on my Nook and Kindle apps. It is eye-opening. I have a lot of reading to do. I could read nothing this year and next but TBR books that are currently in my possession, and I still would not finish.

Nevertheless, she persisted. 🤓

I love you guys ☺☺😘😘.

When I was younger, so much younger than today, I never needed very much shelf space in any way/ But now those days are gone and I'm not so shelf assured/ Now I find I'll lose my mind when I can no longer see the floor. 😂📚😝

My #botm selections. I picked very early this am. Lol

1. I don't like the spine being broke it makes the pages fall out.
2. I LOVE coffee far more than tea.
3. The history nerd in me would LOVE this.
4. Helps me sleep.
5. As much as I would love to be an author, I love to see and hear people discovering new books and new authors.

So last month was the 1st time I made an official #TBR list. And because I'm slightly type A (just slightly 😉) I really stuck to it. So I'm working on creating one for this month, but I just don't feel like it!

So many books! So little time! Happy Sunday 😍❤📚

I'm not sure what to dive into next... I'm leaning towards Lucky You for now.

Anyone want to help me choose my next read? I always have one physical book and one kobo read on the go. I'm reading The Star-Touched Queen on my kobo, but can't decide which of these should be my next physical book. Any thoughts? #indecisive

A book guide separated thematically. Although it contains half the number of recommendations that "1,001 Books You Must Read Before You Die" it is not nearly as magisterial. It is still well worth purchasing & will make your TBR explode.

I love the footnote in the preface.

I'm focusing my efforts on the #birthdaychallenge this year. I'm hoping a smaller challenge gives me the incentive to read more books I own and tackle the longer books I tend to avoid. But I still set high Goodreads goals, and of course I wrote down all the categories of Book Riot and Popsugar's challenges too, just to see how far I get. Olive remains unimpressed.

Which one next???
