Welcome to Litsy!

If I'm going to participate in multiple challenges & buddy reads this year, I need to plan & prepare. It's not full of pretty doodles or stickers, but I can try more artsy approaches to the individual challenge pages. This is my first time using this method, but I hope it'll help me visualize what I want to read and when. The sticky notes allow me to visually stack challenges such as Queenie: #sundaybuddyread #booked2021 and #pop21

I haven't been doing anything creative lately so I thought all the bookish festivities for the spooky season would be a good reason to get out my colored pens & highlighters and see what I can do. There's still a spreadsheet and bookspin list in the works, but I've got some pages to help me keep track of the various readathons/prompts to maximize my points for #scarathalon2020 and #teamharkness .

While watching election results in NH I‘m doing some book planning. #booked2020

Last year my bookgroup went to planning our whole year in advance. It was so successful, we did it again tonight. Plus my sister and I successfully staged a coup and moved it back to Monday‘s. I give you our 2020 list, including our meeting locations (which, truthfully, won‘t mean anything but we picked a lot of places we don‘t normally go so I‘m excited!

I‘m following the lead of some others and posting my very tentative #WinterPicks for #Booked2020 🎉I own all 6 books which helps with my goal this year...to use at least half the books I own for challenges. I also choose 3 nonfiction picks. Can‘t wait to see what others are planning to read🤓

You guys inspired me! Here are some ideas from my Kindle and Audible shelves. #booked2020 #winterplan

1. The Bone Season — from my way way back Kindle section
2. When We Were The Kennedys — also terribly old and unread
3. Nine Pints — gimme more medical
4. Play It as It Lays — a Didion novel
5. Of Blood and Bone — loved book one
6. My Lost Family — a great prompt for all those free Audible Originals

I‘m #lookingforwardtoreading these books, plus a bunch more on audio, before the end of the year. Wish me luck! #GratefulReads

Day 2: 2019 Reading Goals
My main goal this year is to get back my passion for both reading and writing. Here is how I plan to keep track of the books I read this year. Let‘s go!
#anewchapter

I know it‘s a little early but this planner is amazing!

As one does, when lying around in bed sick, I‘ve been thinking of ways to try to get through my huge tbr. With the help of Scout & Clete (he got tired and laid down), I think I may have a plan- I‘m going to have theme months- So far, I‘ve decided I need a month to work on reading next books (or finishing) series, one for BOTM backlog, one for my Star Wars backlog, & one for non-fiction. Which should I tackle first?!

Got my #LRC Bingo card for the 2018 Litsy Reading Challenge. And it will be a challenge; some of these categories are way out of my reading comfort zone.
Go to Jess‘s page to get the link to your own card.

Yay!! My planner and stuff came so I'm doing my #pop18 raffle and putting categories into weeks/months.

Readathons might require strategic planning but my #plans this time consist of reading my book club book and a library book. That‘s it. Every time I try to creat a list of books to read I end up derailed. This time, no serious plans. Let‘s see what happens! #30daysofreadathon
