Welcome to Litsy!

New #bookmail from MySciFiClub. I'm glad they're both stand alone stories, I have too many series going now to start more. I've only read Sandman Slim by Kadrey, and I didn't care for it, but this sound interesting. As for the other book, I've not read anything by Guy Gavriel Kay, but I've seen lots of good reviews for him on Litsy & Goodreads.

Dad is getting rid (aka donating) a bunch of his books to the library and these are the ones I rescued to read before donating them myself 📚📚

Happy Friday! Looked over from my desk and saw this cutie watching! #catsoflitsy

Happy world book day!!

Time for some new books since I finished, for now, the #bookbuyingdiet
The Big Kahuna - I need to finish the last two books in the Fox & O'Hare series #FinishTheSeries
Rabbits - I've heard good and bad things about this, but it sounds like a real mind f@ck, and I like those kind of books.
The Misfit Soldier - A new author for me, but it's a standalone novel which is a plus.

#nevertoomanybooks #neverenoughshelves

Tee hee!!! 🤓🤓🤓

A little late uploading as my little one has been a bit sick this week but this is my list for #bookspin March. Can‘t wait to see if I can finish a couple more books this month 🤞🏻
@TheAromaofBooks

What is even wrong with me? I just cannot turn down a hold I‘ve been waiting on for forever.

Today was a beautiful sunny day, so of course a trip to the used book store was in order, I had several books to give them, saved up over quarantine and winter. With this book haul it's time to start another #bookbuyingdiet round. No more books until I read 10 off my TBR shelves.

My first official bookhaul of 2022, courtesy of MySciFiClub. Both December and January's box came on the same day, so more books for me!! Soon it will be time for another #bookbuyingdiet to slim out the shelves, but I'll save that for February.

Interesting article on downsizing, especially your books!

Preach!!!

My order from World of Books was 2 days late, an ominous foreshadowing for future holiday shipping, but better late than never.

#nevertoomanybooks #neverenoughshelves

Popped into Goodwill this evening, and found these three goodies. Coincidentally, I almost bought On Target earlier in the day at BAM, but decided to wait. I guess the book gods wanted me to have it for a buck instead of paying 9.99 😁😁
#nevertoomanybooks #neverenoughshelves

I love this!!

Although the local Goodwill no longer has the large book area it had pre-covid, it's still possible to get lucky and find a nice #bookhaul.

#nevertoomanybooks #neverenoughshelves

Finally! I'm so impatient. #botm

Dropped some books off at the used book store today, so of course I had to pick up a few to keep the balance replenished.

#nevertoomanybooks #neverenoughshelves

I fell off the wagon today. I was in the used book store and there were just too many good books to pass up. I did make it to 13 books of the 20 I planned for my #bookbuyingdiet , and only bought 5 today, so I have chipped a little off #tbrmountain.

Here is my #bookspin and #doublespin for August. My bookspin has been on the list since April last year when I first joined. I'm looking forward to these reads as usual. If it wasn't for this game, these books would have probably sat unread for years.
@TheAromaofBooks

July was a bad reading month for me. Let's hope August will be better. I hope to do better with #bookspin and #doublespin. Here is my bingocard.

Out:
Lady Oracle - Margaret Atwood
Fortuna's dochter - Isabel Allende

In:
Genesis - Karin Slaughter
Sophie's choice - William Styron

I got asked if I get book shamed often 🤷🏻‍♀️😝
Um 😅 I read what I want …

I do find people get seriously upset when you don‘t like a book they loved, but again 🤷🏻‍♀️ not my problem.

Interesting.

FYI she asked because I read so much classic literature and Shakespeare and “no popular” titles… whatever that means.

Does this happen to you?

Pic of a stack of my old books I love..

This is my last #bookhaul before I start another round of my #bookbuyingdiet. Science fiction and fantasy is usually my genres of choice, but lately I've found myself drawn more to crime thrillers and murder mysteries.

My last #bookmail before the next round of #bookbuyingdiet.

I was hoping this #bookmail would arrive yesterday in time for #worldbookday, but as usual I'm a day late and a dollar short.

#nevertoomanybooks #neverenoughshelves

It‘s an absolutely beautiful day here today so we took a drive to the water, where there‘s a little volunteer-run bookshop. Voilà my book haul for a grand total of 7$ ? I dropped off four bags of books so I feel it was well deserved ?

Believe it or not, this is my first book haul of 2021. I've been on a #bookbuyingdiet since January, and I finished the 10th book last night. I took 10 books off my TBR mountain, and only added back 4, so that's some small progress 🤣🤣

#nevertoomanybooks #neverenoughshelves

Saw this on facebook & thought I‘d share! Happy #WorldBookDay!

#bookspin #doublespin list for March. @TheAromaofBooks

Thanks for the tag @Crazeedi . 🤗

Hardback (or the larger paperbacks)

Usually without

Hate to say it but probably ebook for portability.

TBR (or NetGalley ARCs with review deadlines)

Fiction

I like both in the same book! But romance probably edges action.

Both, but majority at night

Anyone else like to share? 😊

#BooksThisOrThat

I was not expecting my package from discoverbooks.com until Monday, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it waiting on my doorstep when I came home tonight.
Now I can start my next round of #bookbuyingdiet . I will read 10 books off my TBR shelves before I can buy a new one. I don't count ebooks from Libby or audiobooks, just physical books.

The last Book Haul of 2020, courtesy of BAM! and Goodwill. It is also the last book haul before I start the new #bookbuyingdiet on January 1st.

#nevertoomanybooks #neverenoughshelves

I totally forgot to post my Christmas books. My family spoiled me rotten. 😍

On a cold gloomy day, I can't think of a better place than the warm, cozy, inviting confines of the local used book store. Starting the new year, I'm definitely going to need another #bookbuyingdiet , but until then, like all other diets during the holidays, they're temporarily suspended.

#nevertoomanybooks #neverenoughshelves #tbrmountain

Great children‘s book about the various books in the British library system! The last relevant page has descriptions of the various books found on the previous pages/sections.

Book Haul Part 1

I got my first deliver from a new (to me at least) book site called discoverbooks.com. Good prices, quick delivery and well packaged. My only complaint, little barcode stickers on the front of the books. They came off pretty easily, but still an annoyance.

#justsaynotostickers

This #bookhaul from Goodwill makes me very sad. My local store once had a large selection, 10 three-level shelves across the back wall, but now they only have 2 three-level shelves, and those are only half full. I don't know if people aren't donating because of covid, or if the books are being shipped to other locations. Whatever the reason, it's still a sad sight.
#nevertoomanybooks

November‘s #bookspin options. Thanks to @TheAromaofBooks for keeping me focused on reading the books I own already.

Jumping back in for November‘s #Bookspin & #Doublespin with a fresh list! Looking forward to selection day!

Today's modest book haul
Captain Moxley & The Embers of the Empire - I love the cover, love the pulpy action storyline.
Legion - Surprisingly, I've never read any of Sanderson's books. I thought I'd try this before venturing into his multiple series work.
Sticky Fingers - Always been a fan of Rolling Stone, from back in the newspaper style days.

#nevertoomanybooks #tbrmountain

Heads up to Robin and Amy that your #LMPBC books are on their way! Hopefully arrival in a week. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Today's #bookhaul is courtesy of a trip to J&M Used Books, a book sale at the local public library and a package from Better World Books (that was 3 days late 😡). Definitely time for another round of #bookbuyingdiet 😁😁

The last book haul, from ebay and BAM, before the next round of my #bookbuyingdiet

#nevertoomanybooks

I'm happy to say I finished the 10 books of my #bookbuyingdiet and now I've allowed myself a trip to the used book store. I'll do another 10 before I buy more, slowly chip down the #tbrmountain

#nevertoomanybooks

In an attempt to scale down my massive TBR mountain, I'm putting myself on a #bookbuyingdiet. Here's the deal: I have to read 10 books I already own before I can buy more. I don't know if I have the willpower or not, I have a voracious buying habit. I'm starting False Dawn as Book No. 1.
Wish me luck!! 🙄😜😭🤯

After a long, and mostly unpleasant, day at work, it's very nice to come home and find the books you bought from Ebay arrived sooner than expected.

#nevertoomanybooks

Beautiful, sunny, breezy, 75 degree Saturday afternoon, and the only thing that makes it better? My favorite book store, J&M Used Books, finally reopened this week!! Woo hooo!! 🥳🥳🥳

#nevertoomanybooks #neverenoughshelfspace

You were right @joscho!! Once the Goodwill opened, there were plenty of goodies to be found. All this for only 10 bucks!!
