When in Germany, Do as the Germans Do

When in Germany, Do as the Germans Do | Hyde Flippo

Repost for @LittleBug (& @julesG ):
We need 2 more Littens to have a full circle🤩🤩
I limited it to Germany to keep the shipping time and costs low, but the circle has already been increased to include a few Littens in Austria.😊

So, if you read in German and English and are based in a country with fairly low shipping costs and short shipping times to Germany, let me know and I‘m sure we can fit you in😊

ByChallaF This sounds so cool! Sorry I'm in USA but I love this idea. 6y

LittleBug @ByChallaF It was surprisingly easy to get a group of people together. Why not try and start a USA based one? BTW there are a few others, but I‘m not sure of their names and if they are US based... 6y

ByChallaF @LittleBug so everyone has a different book and notebook and the 12 books stay in rotation until all 12 people have read and all 12 books and wrote in all 12 notebooks right? 6y

LittleBug @ByChallaF that‘s pretty much all there is to it😊 We decided to discuss our books beforehand, to make sure there weren‘t any books in there that too many of us have read etc. But you can of course also decide to keep it a surprise. Just bear in mind that that would also mean you can‘t post about them on Litsy🤓 6y

ByChallaF Makes sense. I am going to try tjis witj my Facebook book club. There is about 10 of us 6y

LittleBug @ByChallaF 10 people might be even better. You can schedule a break around Christmas and the summer holidays😁 6y

julesG @LitsyHappenings - would you please repost this? 6y

Sarah83 What about you @yourfavouritemixtape 6y

yourfavouritemixtape @Sarah83 not too sure, shipping to Switzerland can be very pricey... :/ 6y

Sarah83 @yourfavouritemixtape we also have one Austrian, so maybe we can combine it. 😊 But you are interested? 6y

yourfavouritemixtape @Sarah83 yes. Or maybe only books that you can send as a letter other than a package? Because those are very expensive here... :/ 6y

Sarah83 Is it cheaper if you send to Austria? 6y

Sarah83 @yourfavouritemixtape 6y

yourfavouritemixtape @Sarah83 i don‘t think so. It‘s the swiss customs that are expensive. Also if people send stuff to Switzerland... 6y

Sarah83 @yourfavouritemixtape we want to send only a book and a notebook so it should be cheap. 🤗 6y

yourfavouritemixtape @Sarah83 i just don‘t want that people have to pay a lot to send me stuff due to swiss customs being difficult... 😊 6y

Sarah83 You decide 😊 6y

Sarah83 @yourfavouritemixtape 6y

LittleBug @yourfavouritemixtape @Sarah83 I‘ll try and get some concrete Info about books & customs. But I‘m sure we‘ll be able to figure something out so you can join! 6y

LittleBug @yourfavouritemixtape @Sarah83 I think we‘ll be fine, due to the low weight and value of the shipments, but I‘m checking with a friend who has some more experience with export shipments🤞🏼 6y

LittleBug @yourfavouritemixtape @sarah83 From what I can tell and from what my friend confirmed our shipments should be free of customs. 6y

yourfavouritemixtape @LittleBug cool! Also: if you declare it as a gift, I think you can get around paying customs too. 6y

LittleBug @yourfavouritemixtape If you still want to join, just send me your telephone number (aukje@life2gether.nl) and we‘ll add you to the WhatsApp Group we‘ve started😊 6y

yourfavouritemixtape @LittleBug i have mailed you 6y

Littens in Germany, who of you would be interested in something like this? I think it might be a nice way to share reading experiences😊

I‘m tagging everyone who was tagged in the Bielefeld Meetup post, as I‘m guessing you are all based in Germany... Feel free to share with others😁

Let me know what you think. I‘m open for suggestions😊

Please use #12Littens12Books and tag me.

Sarah83 Sounds great 😍 6y

LittleBug I would like to organise this in the next two weeks, before I‘m back to school. First book would go out before the end of October, so we‘d have most of November to read😊 6y

LittleBug By november 2019 we‘d all have our original book back with notes & a notebook with tips, reviews of our books and I don‘t know what more😁 6y

See All 70 Comments

scripturient Great idea. I‘m already part of two of these bookclubs here on Litsy though and another one would be a bit much. 😅 So I‘m out but I hope you guys have fun! 😘 6y

LittleBug @Sarah83 Yay!😊 10 more and we‘re go!!😁 6y

LittleBug @scripturient I figured there‘d be others. Any tips from a pro?😊 6y

ju.ca.no I‘m based in Austria, I guess shipping is more expensive, would that be okay? 6y

ju.ca.no @Moony 6y

ju.ca.no (I would suggest a page limit for the books as not everyone is a fast reader) 6y

LittleBug @ju.ca.no If we make sure to choose books under 500gr I think we should be fine. I was thinking about cost, but also the time it may take for the books to arrive, but within Europe a week should be realistic, right? 6y

julesG Sounds good. I agree to @ju.ca.no's suggestion with the page limit, since I might not be able to do a chunkster every month. 6y

LittleBug @ju.ca.no @julesG absolutely. I was thinking max. 300 pages. This would also make sure the books don‘t get too heavy 😊 (edited) 6y

julesG If you can't find 12 people, every other month a book with 6 people would work, too. 6y

LittleBug @julesG good idea!! Thanks☺️ 6y

ju.ca.no @LittleBug max 300 sounds good! I would join in if everyone is okay with it! Maybe the other austrian Littens @maralinchen or @tina_b.ooks want to join in as well😊 6y

LittleBug @ju.ca.no I don‘t mind shipping to Austria. And we‘d need only 1 Austrian Litten willing to ship to Germany. Any other Austrians could then ship within Austria. 6y

Heideschrampf I‘d be in! 6y

Maike Sounds great! 6y

ju.ca.no @LittleBug I don‘t mind😊 6y

LittleBug @ju.ca.no @maike @Heideschrampf @julesG I‘m counting you in😁 Yay, we can at the very least do a book every other month🎊 Only 6 more and we can do every month! 6y

thewallflower0707 Sounds good, I‘m interested! 6y

julesG @thewallflower0707 @LittleBug - are you two interested in coming to the Litsy Meet-up in Bielefeld next week? 6y

LittleBug @thewallflower0707 Yay!! Only 5 more and we‘re a ‘full circle‘ 😁 6y

LittleBug @julesG would have loved to, but I can‘t. I‘ll keep an eye out for the next one😉 Or maybe I‘ll organise one here in Erlangen!🧐🤩 6y

DuckOfDoom First: do you want to join the LitsyGermany whatsApp group? 6y

DuckOfDoom Second: I would love to join, but only if we will have a page count limit like 350 or so. Otherwise this might be a little too much for me 6y

LittleBug @DuckOfDoom 1) Sure! Sounds like fun😊 2) we were thinking max 300 pages☺️ Only 4 more to go🤩🤩 6y

Sarah83 @LittleBug please write me an email with your mobile number, than I can add you to the WhatsApp group. litsysarah83@freenet.de 😊 6y

LittleBug @Sarah83 Thanks! Will do!😊 6y

Moony I love to join, but I have some questions: Is the genre of the novel equal? It might be written in english? 6y

LittleBug @Moony I would prefer not to limit the books to a genre. For me, part of the charm is in discovering new things. The books are either in German or in English, is that okay for you? 6y

Moony Oh I think so. English books will be difficult but not impossible to read. 6y

LittleBug @Moony So you‘re in? Yay!😁 Only 3 more to go!!🎊 6y

Sarah83 What about you @Yanes ? 6y

Moony And @LaLecture ? 6y

LaLecture @Moony Thanks for tagging me! This sounds like LMPBC which I wanted to join but couldn‘t because not enough Europeans signed up for another Europe group. I‘d love to join! Though I‘m not sure books with only 300 pages are easy to find 🤔. 6y

LittleBug @LaLecture I thought so too and then I looked in my TBR stack...and found 4😁 Have a look what you can find and let us know😊 6y

LaLecture @LittleBug It‘s a good thing I‘ve got an Excel document about by tbr :D. I found some books with 300 pages or less - so I‘m in :) 6y

Heideschrampf I like the page limit, and i dont care about the language. If german is easier though i‘m for it because i‘d want people to have the maximum of joy 6y

Sarah83 I think 300 pages is a great idea. If you suppose to read chunksters, I don't think, we can manage to send each month a book. 🤔 6y

Sarah83 What about you @Saari84 ? 🤔 6y

LittleBug @LaLecture Yay!🎊 only 2 more to make a full circle😁 6y

Sarah83 @LittleBug mhm.. who did I didn't count? @DuckOfDoom do you also participate? 6y

LittleBug @Sarah83 I did count @DuckOfDoom... I hope I was right to do so? 6y

Sarah83 @thewallflower0707 want to join the WhatsApp group? Please send me an email litsysarah83@freenet.de 6y

DuckOfDoom @Sarah83 yes I will participate :) 6y

DuckOfDoom @LaLecture I have many books that are maybe 320 pages or so. I think that would be ok also. Or some great novellas! 6y

LaLecture @DuckOfDoom Yes, that‘s what I was thinking about. Not 600+ pages books but I think there‘s a lot more books between 300 and 400 pages than with less than 300. 6y

Sarah83 I think, still two are missing. @thewallflower0707 what about your email? 😏 6y

LittleBug @Sarah83 Yep, we‘d need 2 more for a full year. I‘ll repost in the morning. 6y

Sarah83 And the wallflowers has to answer... Some Littens we tagged didn't answer 🙄 6y

LittleBug @Sarah83 worst case we‘ll do a 10month circle 6y

Sarah83 Or one month a break,so the books can arrive at the right places 😊 6y

ju.ca.no @Sarah83 a break might be a good idea So the post can catch up? Either after christmas, after five months or during summer(vacation time..)? 6y

ju.ca.no @Sarah83 well I guess the ones that didn‘t answer don‘t want to join....🤷🏽‍♀️ 6y

Cohnina Due to health reasons no participation 6y

PickwickPlockPlock I won't join, as it is I struggle to find the time to read the books I already own. 6y

Sarah83 Let's wait and have a look 😊 6y

CoffeeAndABook Thx for the repost and sorry for not responding earlier, my hubby & I just returned from a vacation with a nasty stomach bug & I was sort of tuned out from EVERYTHING for a while 😬🤒 I won‘t join this, although I like the idea in theory it doesn‘t fit my reading patterns at all. Hope you all enjoy it though!!! 📚🤘🏼🎁 (edited) 6y

Tahoe Ah it sounds like fun!! But I am already part of a book challange and would like to lay low. Thank you anyway for thinking of me @LittleBug ! And hope you'll have a lot of enlightning moments with the books and thoughts of others in the notes ;) 6y

Tahoe @CoffeeAndABook hope you get well soon, sounds nasty! 6y

CoffeeAndABook Thank you @Tahoe!!!! 😃 6y

LittleBug @CoffeeAndABook Hope you‘re feeling better!! 6y

LittleBug @Cohnina @PickwickPlockPlock thanks for letting us know!! 6y

CoffeeAndABook Thanks @LittleBug I‘m gettin‘ there!!! Have a great free Wednesday!!! 6y

Moony Schon länger nicht mwhr gesehen, aber vielleicht mit dabei: @Marybook 6y

LittleBug @thewallflower0707 are you still joining us? If yes, send me an email at aukje@life2gether.nl so I can send you our list of books and so we can get your details to the one who will be sending you the books and vice versa😊 6y

LittleBug @thewallflower0707 I‘m going to assume you won‘t join us.😔 In case you change your mind, the first book needs to get to the next one in the circle before the 15th... 6y

thewallflower0707 @littlebug yeah sorry, I forgot about this post and always delayed me answering. 6y

LittleBug @thewallflower0707 no worries, happens to everyone. Maybe next time!😊 6y
