Welcome to Litsy!

Anyone else obsessively watching this content on IG? I want to literally tear all the covers off my paperbacks and do this. ❤️📚💡

It‘s real then! I‘d heard the rumours. A Penguin vending machine in the main foyer of the station, between the ticket machines and Starbucks.

What I didn‘t know was that profits are shared with the local indie bookshop, which is great!

I mean, it's not too much to ask, is it?? #PenguinClassics #Clothbound

My mum found this badge and new I'd love it. Its so cute. #penguinbooks #badge #reading

Oh I‘m here for this! Coming 2022.

Just in case anyone needed a bit of adorable in their day. #PenguinsofLitsy

I LOVE this list:

Spotted on LinkedIn....

This is a fascinating 10 minute video about ‘hidden‘ books in films and TV programmes...

Loved the it about ‘The Holiday‘ when the narrators says that we‘re all guilty of putting a few too many books on our TBR pile! Yup....

Do they even still make these? I think they are what started my #ReadingObsession in earnest.

These books solidified my identity as a reader when I went on a mission in school to find as many as I could to read. I didn't want to be left out of whatever magic made these orange books a "classic."

Clever marketing that worked (at least on me?‍♀️)!

It turns out Penguin has a book room in their offices.

I want to move there.

Do you annotated classic books? If so, do you have a method ? #classicbooks #annotation

Happy paperback day!

Took a looong unintended break from Litsy so here‘s a #shelfie featuring some of my penguin cloth bound classics that I‘ve been collecting!

Little quiz for you all today.
The non readers in the house averaged 2, I managed 18, but still kicked myself at those I didn‘t get.
Enjoy 😁

Another escape room, this one Classics themed! And this one was put together by my local library! ❤️

I‘m on a short but happy visit to #London and can‘t get enough of the book lovers details in my guesthouse. This is wallpaper!!! 🤩

I was finally able to snag this cute book spine wallet I was looking for awhile back! Love it 🥰

I‘m not on instagram, but my daughter sent me this

Hey everyone,

As we all shop for swaps (or early Christmas shopping), I just wanted to remind everyone about Penguin Rewards.

For every Penguin and its imprints books you purchase you get 10 points. Get 120 points get a fee book up to $30.

I have already got one free book (Golden Son in hardcover) and am just two books away from my next fee book.

#AllMyLove to Penguin! I stumbled across the annotated listing last night & was delighted to discover it is free on Kindle.
Also, #AllMyLove to the Dargusch clan & Cindy, for another great monthly photo challenge!

Popped into Exeter to do banks and boring stuff. They put up a Penguin Books plaque at the railway station last year. From there, a brisk walk up to town (up being the word; brisk, not so much), past the Marks & Spencer building, which has a statue, I think of Britannia, on the roof. Now I‘m off to a pilates class. 😳. What on earth is with this exercise malarkey??! #litsywalkers

Loving this scultpure, one of two in Uptown Charlotte.

I signed up for the Penguin Reading Challenge. Something different to do apart from my Goodreads Challenge. I might try and do another one too!

Seen this on Litsy and it's as good as I hoped it would be. Books are organised chronologically and by region / language for modern books. This should give me lots of ideas for my lifetime reading list.

I know this isn't book related, but I am in ❤ with my new 🐧 t-shirt!

I love that Penguin Random House writes this on their boxes 😍

A penguin statue painted to look like a Penguin book 🐧

I‘m so excited about this! It‘s so many of my favorite things at once!

I just crashed group f‘s party! #LMPBC

May is almost upon us, and with it comes @Sarah83 photo challenge #MayLovesClassics #LitsyClassics. There‘s a giveaway and a chance to show off some love classics or other books which fit the prompts 📚

Not quite a #bookhaul but oh, the Penguiny goodness!! Thank you, USPS, for bringing joy to my Wednesday. Now I shall have to decide which to give and which to keep.

Book mail!

Penguin Modern was launched recently and it seems these can‘t be bought outside of UK due to copyright reasons. ?
50 books for Q9 each! UK peeps, you‘re so lucky! ☘️?

A friend of mine posted this on Facebook and I wanted to share it here.

#litsyclassicshost

Hi all #litsyclassics readers. Hope you are doing all fine and like the challenge. 😊 I saw already some buddy reads and some already have read several books from their classic tbr. 😊

Any questions? Or does someone need help?

I also found a Penguin section! 😃 Orange, and silver covers here (and more stacked on the floor). The shelf with the penguin on it holds black covers and green ones! I've never seen green penguin covers before! Looked like mainly crime classics, although I also found a Barbara Pym. 🤔 I had to exercise extreme self control here. The Folios limit themselves due to price, but these were for the most part only £2 per book!

Any #Sydney littens going to/want to go to this tonight? I have two tickets, but my partner has to work late so if someone wants the extra one let me know! They‘ll be showing #LoveSimon at 7 pm, with a chat beforehand about upcoming #YA books 📚

I heard a more recent #quote from NBC DFW 's Rick Mitchell - “Unless your pet is a #penguin, bring it inside.”
😅🐧🤣🐧😅

Help needed! I'm compiling my list for the #LitsyClassics and I'm wondering what you would consider a "classic"? Also, any suggestions for the letters left blank would be awesome!!!! Thank you!

My phone's #bookishscreen was the left image until my Dad got his hands on it. Can't bring myself to change it back because he gets so excited whenever he sees his pic is still there!

I‘ve been having fun with this. You can try yours here:

I finished my list for @Sarah83 who is hosting the 2018 classics reading challenge. Some of these have just recently been declared a classic. I have put some of these off for too long and it‘s time I finally read them. It‘s a tragedy that I never read Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings until now. Better late than never. #litsyclassics #2018readingchallenge #atoz #litsyatoz #atozreads

Litsy!

I know someone has organized a Litsy A to Z read for CLASSICS next year but I can't figure out who it is now. HALP! I'm lost and still feeling new to this place, lol.

Is it you? I'm building my list now and want to join in 😂
