Thank you @Megabooks for the tag! 😘
1️⃣ I just officially gave up on tagged.
2️⃣ Nick Bantock's The Forgetting Room or Thomas Wharton's The Logogryph.
3️⃣ I don't keep count.
4️⃣ In keep my fiction and non-fiction as separate as possible on here. Also, Ive been working on writing classes, so there are too many to list.
5️⃣ 👍👍 @gissy @LauraBeth @youneverarrived @AnneCecilie @Redwritinghood 👋👋

Megabooks I don‘t keep an exact count of my TBR either! 5y

LauraBeth The older I get, the more I think about all of the unread books on my TBR! 5y
tournevis @LauraBeth I feel like that too, but I'm more worried about dying without finishing any of my projects. 5y

Trying to get back into it. I'm at about 40% now but had stopped at 37% forever. Technically, the stories in volume one are set on Earth. The first stories were good, set in a generic Balkan state. The one I just started is narrated by an oak tree. This book is all my style, but I need to just commit to it.

Because we must share and it's important, our beloved litsy has a web interface! Yéééééééé!

Suet624 I was so excited about this news this morning. Still feeling quite delighted. 😀 5y
Melissa_J I‘m not sure how I feel about this. 5y

tournevis @Melissa_J It's not facebooky, if it makes a difference. It's rather closer to a Tumblr interface. I like it. I type better on a keyboard. 5y
tournevis @BookishMarginalia @Suet624 💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺 5y
Melissa_J I checked it out. I don‘t like it. I‘ll be sticking with the app unless I need to zoom in on something. 5y
tournevis @Melissa_J 👍👍👍👍 5y
Melissa_J I already do everything on my phone anyway so switching to my desktop for Litsy would just be weird for me. 5y
heikemarie I love it! I have a Chromebook that flips into a touchscreen and this is amazingly useful and easy to use! And I think will be really inclusive to Littens who might have accessibility needs and/or visual needs! 5y
tournevis That is certainly true. 5y
tournevis @Melissa_J I get that. It's a good point! 5y
Suet624 I didn‘t notice that it has the date we joined! 5y
tournevis @Suet624 I knew I tried to join as early as Frebruary 2016, but there was no Android app then. I waited until I could confirm there was one. Now, of course, with the web interface, people are golden! 5y

📘 That's not easy. I'm still reading tagged.
✒️ Peter Ustinov.
🎥 Un Américain à Paris, maybe Excluding all the movies that start with Un or Une, it gets difficult. So, maybe Usual Suspects. Even if I'm never watching it again, it's a marvelous movie.

1️⃣ Everyone vying for my husband's attention all week. I'm losing.
2️⃣ Thanksgiving was in October. So no.
3️⃣ Finishing this story I have going.
4️⃣ My pj's
5️⃣ Still trudging through it. Volume 1 is a collection of her best non-genre shorts and it's less my bag. It's incredibly written and plotted, lessons in the craft, but it does not capture my attention as it should. Looking forward to volume 2, the sff stories.

1️⃣ I don't leave pictures on my phone, or online. This is the twelfth left on my phone's backup, from July. A charity store haul.
2️⃣ About half way.
3️⃣ Too far away to know yet.
4️⃣ A bunch of my son's Lego.
5️⃣ It's been a long road, getting from there to here. (And I apologize for this song. Mea culpa)

Igrec wants you to know that he hates it when the power is out about as much as he hates it when it's thundering. About 125000 people without power on this side of the river and a smidge fewer on the other side. Gonna be a long reading day.

Karkar Wow that is a lot without power! 6y
tournevis @Karkar Three tornados will do that. Unprecedented in the region. And people say climate change is a myth! 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @tournevis Right! The evidence is literally right in front of us everyday. The weather section of the World News looks more and more like the beginning of a disaster movie intro. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m glad you are all ok, without power stinks, but at least that‘s fixable (eventually), I‘m glad you and yours are safe even if a little darker. 6y
tournevis @Riveted_Reader_Melissa We'll be fine. The news now says there were two tornados and one super cell. Still. The only issue here for us is power. It'll come back, but we are in a non-priority area, because no hospitals. 6y
Karkar @tournevis totally not a myth! Stay safe and give him some belly scratches from me. ❤️🐾❤️ 6y
tournevis @Karkar We're out of the house right now in search of power for our electronics. But I'll cuddle him as soon as we get home. 6y
LeahBergen Well, that sucks! I was wondering how you were doing when I heard about the storms. 6y
tournevis @LeahBergen We are fine! But we should be without power "for days" according to the power company 6y
teebe This is so wild. I mean we‘ve had the occasional tornado before but this summer it seems like every thunderstorm now comes with a tornado warning. (edited) 6y
tournevis @teebe I know! 6y

1️⃣ Fanfic. And sci-fi tie-in novels.
2️⃣ Mood reading, unless I have to read something for a deadline.
3️⃣ I used to play the classical guitar, no more, and the recorder does not count.
4️⃣ I believe I can fly, I don't know who sings that (don't care) that my son was blasting it from his computer.
