Welcome to Litsy!

I read this book with high expectations from what I thought about one of Kwame Alexanders other books, Solo, and I was still blown away by this book, it was detailed and super interesting. #bolducbookworms

#2019Book81
If you like soccer or poetry or both, then you absolutely must read this book.

#Booked2019 all done for me! Thank you so much to @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage and @4thhouseontheleft for organizing this super fun challenge... 💕😊
I‘ve read so many books I‘ve loved, enjoyed all the planning, and loved seeing everyone‘s picks....

And now I‘m already planning #Booked2020 ! 🤓📚

I‘m still hoping I can complete the 2019 challenge but I signed up for the 2020 challenge too! Brought to Litsy by @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft and @BarbaraTheBibliophage

Here‘s my summer quarter for #Booked2019-
📚Genre-busting: The Perfect Wife-J. P. Delaney
📚Muslim Author/MC: An Unnecessary Woman- Rabih Alameddine
📚Book to movie: Pet Sematary- Stephen King
📚Graphic Novel: Sweet Valley High- Katy Rex
📚Book Gifted to you: Paper Ghosts- Julia Heaberlin
📚Diverse Middle Grade: Kondi‘s Quest- Sylvia Stewart

It was a decent book. It wasn‘t as entertaining as I thought it would be. This book is mainly about this kid named Nicholas and what his life is about. He goes through lots of struggles and drama. If you like books based on someone‘s life I recommend this to you. I would rate this book a 6/10

6. New to me author: “The Left Hand of Darkness”

14. #muslimauthor: “Exit West” (as far as I know. It‘s also strongly implied the MCs are muslim)

17. Book gifted to me: “Emma”

I liked this book as lot it was a short and a fast read. It‘s about a boy going into high school and his struggles in life. I would really recommend this book.

#booked2019 progress update 13/24..... (including my 2 current reads)... I‘m jumping around the 4 seasons a bit, but then in FL we always say we only have two seasons... Hot and Hotter! 😎🔥🌴
@BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft

I have finished the first quarter of #Booked2019 with six real good books so I can‘t wait to start planning the Spring selection even though March yet has to start. 🐛🐣🌷🎋🌞

My first Spring prompt will probably be the one with food on the cover 🦞, that is if we are still doing our Seating Arrangements #buddyread, Cindy? 💕

All done with the first quarter of #booked2019
All picks, no DNFs, but then again I am a notorious #starslut 😂
Easy favorites being the Sally Rooney and the Maggie O‘Farrell... 💕
And already started on Spring! 🌷

Great book told in verse. Definitely not what I was expecting it to be. 100% recommend the audio on this!.

Starting this next on #overdrive #currentlylistening

I am done with my first season for #booked2019 mostly by filling in books I was going to read anyway. The one I had trouble with was a book that reminded me of my happy place.

I know there‘s still another day left in January but I managed to read all my winter prompts for #Booked2019 ☃️💕☘️I think the rainy days and my family having the flu contributed to my extra reading time. I liked 3/6 books & I was able to knock off two past #BOTM picks I‘ve had for nearly 2 years!!! By the way as of today 306 books have already been logged in as read by Littens🎉🙌🏻‼️

All done with #booked2018 -here‘s everything I read for this fun challenge....
Really enjoyed almost everything I read (with only a couple of duds!)
Thanks again to our wonderful challenge masters @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft and looking forward to next year....

I have decided, @Cinfhen ! 😬🤞

#Booked2019

I‘m such a planner, so already thinking of ideas for the #booked2019 winter quarter☺️
1. Miss Marple doubles for an amateur detective for #pop19🔍
2. Yay for a feminist Little mermaid 👍🧜‍♀️
3. The Novel Cure- got it at Daunts, London, with my best friend of 30 yrs and it‘s about reading soothing the soul💕
4. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bbphcf
5. Been meaning to read more O‘Farrell🍀
6. Leaving this open -always read lots of new authors✏️

Kickstart your 2019 reading journey with #Booked2019 , wholly owned and hosted by 3 of our fabulous Littens! Whether you‘re a seasoned reading challenge pro or a newbie, reading challenges can be fun and introduce us to new genres & authors we‘ve never read before.

I‘m enjoying (though not completed) my #Booked2018 and #LitsyClassics (not completed either) 🙄but I‘m so tempted and pumped up for this challenge. 🤔🤓

So then, l'm really terrible with challenges. I'm still working at all the challenges l took this year (and some goes back to May 😶) but this one looked too much fun to pass up.
Besides, l already have a title for all the Winter prompts 😆

Who's joining?

I actually liked this one better than The Crossover. However, I now LOVE Kwame Alexander and his awesome ability to write in verse. I know of a handful of students who will love both of his books.

Wanted to take a moment to appreciate that Man Cub has 3 books in his bag.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone (reading in class with teacher)
QB1 by Mike Lupica (writing an author paper about him)
And the tagged book

#Booked2019 #Teaser So this may or may not be my first quarter reads for #Booked2019❣️Any ideas what the prompts could be??? Here‘s a few hints: 1.HAPPY NEW year 2. International Day of Women 3.St. Patty‘s Day 4. Brothers Grimm birthdays 5.🎧👂🏼Stay tuned for the first quarter unveiling....

Alexander is so good, I've even got my math-brained husband reading. #13in3

I loved the librarian, Mac. Another inspiring novel told through verse.

I loved this one just as much as The Crossover. A coming of age novel told in verse that deals with themes of bullying, divorce, and friendship. I think this book would appeal to any young adult who is driven by sports, English teachers and librarians alike. In fact, this could be for anyone who's ever felt like their parents don't understand them. Maybe that's all of us.

Hey #Booked2018 friends—today is the last day for our current season! Everything you‘ve read since July 1 for ANY prompt should be posted by midnight 9/30 Eastern time. Be sure to hashtag and tag us! Then we will get working on the drawing.
