Please indulge me - this post has nothing to do with books but every time I walk by this cafe at Shimokitazawa in Tokyo I think of a certain Litten so many of us adore... ❤❤

I am not an outdoorsy person, and while I do enjoy having easy access to some amazing NYC parks, I don't do a lot of #outsidereading. When I do, it's generally on the deck at my parents' house in the suburbs. They have an absolutely lovely backyard. #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge

katedensen @RealLifeReading @LauraBeth @GinaAnderson ☺️ Thank you! One of my dad's hobbies is "working on the property." Also, the little statue on the ground toward the left of the picture is of a little girl showing a little boy something in a book. My dad bought it when I was a small child and told me it was a statue of me and my brother. ❤️ 8y

LilMamaMastro Lovely indeed❣ 8y

North Jersey Litsy peeps-what's your favorite local indie? I know about Word in Jersey City. Other faves?

LauraBeth There's Little City Books in Hoboken. I lived there back in the 90s and had to see the only independent bookstore close down when B&N moved in on Washington st. Now that B&N is closed, it seems the scene can carry an independent store or two 8y

Lola @LauraBeth thanks for the Hoboken tip! I think we'll be there on Saturday. 8y

Book mail! It came! 📬 I can't wait to dig into this novel about emotional trauma. Love Tin House Books. Thank you so much for mailing it to me Yanira! You're one of the best reasons that Litsy rocks! 💚

Notafraidofwords

Notafraidofwords So happy you got it! Enjoy and let me know what you thought! 8y

BookishFeminist @Notafraidofwords Absolutely! I'm looking forward to talking about it with you. :) Thanks again for sending it!! 8y

BookishFeminist @Yossarian That's the one! 8y

Yossarian I hear they have some pretty wealthy ghosts up there. 8y

Notafraidofwords @Yossarian lol yes. I used to work in that area and couldn't afford to live amongst the ghost. Lol. 8y

Notafraidofwords @BookishFeminist not a problem! 8y

BookishFeminist @Yossarian Lol, they do indeed. This book's characters seem to be no exception. 8y

BookishFeminist @Notafraidofwords I used to work in that area too & commuted every day from central jersey bc that was cheaper than living there, lol 8y

Notafraidofwords @BookishFeminist I totally get it. Every job I've had, I've never been able to afford the area. Every time Rutgers calls me so that I can donate money to them, I want to bring this up. 8y

BookishFeminist @Notafraidofwords Every time Rutgers calls me I do bring it up, lol. The students at the phone bank oughta know! Jersey rent, esp. North Jersey is nuts! 8y

Notafraidofwords @BookishFeminist yes! With my Paycheck, living alone, I would be living in a one bedroom apartment. 8y

BookishFeminist @Notafraidofwords Basically! Jersey is ridiculous lol 8y

so-so

It should be illegal for a book to take 200 pages to capture the reader, but this one did. However, after the 200 pages, I could not stop. It really became lyrical and beautiful and painful and mysterious. The connections are so well written. I didn't need all the finance talk which overpowered it.

Notafraidofwords @BookishFeminist are you still totally interested. Can send your way 📖. 8y

BookishFeminist @Notafraidofwords I am! I don't mind meandering books sometimes. :) 8y

Notafraidofwords @BookishFeminist will email you! 8y

So exciting to know that some of you do lunch time reading too. I always take my full break, so that I can get my reading in. I'm a loner, so it works out!

BookishFeminist Can't wait to see what you think! 8y

BookishFeminist Also I specifically don't socialize at work when I have an office job so I will have uninterrupted reading time during my lunches LOL 8y

ramyasbookshelf I really enjoy my lunch hour reading too! And @BookishFeminist lol! I haven't done it consciously but I can see how I'm avoiding socializing at work so my precious lunch hour is reserved for just reading :)) 8y

Notafraidofwords @BookishFeminist @ramyasbookshelf I don't have much time, so I sneak in the reading when I can. So my lunch time is mine (evil Ursula laugh). 8y

Notafraidofwords @BookishFeminist did you read this one? 8y

BookishFeminist @Notafraidofwords Not yet, sigh, still waiting on my library to order it. May just cave and buy it. 8y

Notafraidofwords @BookishFeminist I can totally send it to you once I'm done (I just started). Do you have a po box I can send it to? 8y

BookishFeminist @Notafraidofwords that would be so cool! Maybe we can do a book swap and I can send you something too :) What's your email address? We can communicate there since there's no DM here-- mine is s.flourance@gmail.com 8y

Notafraidofwords @BookishFeminist I'm sorry I took so long. Will email you right now. I just got home from the gym. 8y

BookishFeminist @Notafraidofwords oh no rush or pressure! I just commented to you an hour ago bc I was busy too, lol. 8y

Notafraidofwords @BookishFeminist emailed you Hun. Hope you got it! 8y

BookishFeminist @Notafraidofwords I did, thanks! Replying :) 8y

Have you read this one @Ebooksandcooks?

BookishFeminist Can't wait for this one to come in for me at the library :) 8y

Notafraidofwords @BookishFeminist I ordered it off amazon. I live in NJ so I'm excited. I also read Relief Map which I hear it's similar to this and I loved it! 8y

BookishFeminist @Notafraidofwords that's awesome! Where in NJ? I went to Rutgers and lived in Jersey for a while & still visit frequently. I'm in DC now. Just got Relief Map out from the library & I'm super excited to start it. Glad it has your seal of approval! 8y

Notafraidofwords @BookishFeminist what a small world. I graduated from RU-Newark. I'm from that area. And oh gosh, I love relief map so much. I'm going to buy a copy and reread it every year . 8y
