Welcome to Litsy!

Getting to know me ... Getting to know all about me ... 🎶

#LitsyHolidays 🎄

@LibrarianRyan

I would talk about books all day, every day if I had a platform. However, I am part of a non-reading family & I have non-reading friends.😞I do have a coworker who reads, but it‘s a random sporadic habit for her occurring only every blue moon. I hang out in bookstores, libraries & coffee bars where other readers can easily be located.☺️ I belong to multiple book clubs. And Litsy serves as a lifeline...a viable connection to my persons. My tribe!💕

#WhenYouRead

1. Yes. I start reading with a particular goal/page count in mind that is determine by a chapter break.

2. Day and evening. Any hour as long as there is energy and attention span.😀

3. I either need quiet or what I call ‘reading music/reading sounds.‘ I can‘t tune out conversations around me even when not mine.

This was the first time that I have responded to one of these ‘Getting to Know You‘ post. So much fun!

1. The lovely @Little_Reader introduced me to it
2. I do, I keep a book journal that tracks my TBR and what I read every month
3. It sure does!
4. I am hoping to finish up the cozy mystery that I currently reading
