@Clwojick Thanks for making a fun prompt list for the #AugustARC #Readathon! Good inspiration to read (and review!) some of my poor abandoned advance reader copies of books. 😅 I'm in, and excited to tackle these after my August 11th wedding! 😊📚
@TheAromaofBooks I'm back in for August #BookSpinBingo ! Leaving the free spaces for #AugustARC, and everything else is a book I've started but not yet finished this year 😅 I won't get much reading in until after my August 11th wedding, but then @CounterfeitNickel and I will be busy bees reading away! 🥰📚
I know this is nothing like the 100,000 or even 10,000 points others have but it feels like an accomplishment!
Who will be like 7,000??
I just noticed … I‘ve read over a thousand books since I joined Litsy! I don‘t count the manga or children‘s books that I read so I suddenly feel accomplished. 🤣 I love stories. I collect books that I‘ve enjoyed! Im randomly looking forward to Fairy Tale by Stephen King, Babel by RF Kuang and The Babysitter Lives by Stephen Graham Jones.
I love my #spookysunmerswap package!! Thank you!! @Gaylagal2 Thank you @paperwitchs for hosting!!
I just signed up and haven‘t uploaded my books yet. Interesting platform! I gather there is no such thing as a forum for your favorite genre? This is strictly by-the-book (bad pun intentional heh)?
Anyhoo I‘m a relic who really loves historical mysteries. I signed up with good reads and learned later that Amazon owns it. pppphphlftt! 🤔 You can sum me up with four words:
I LOVE TO READ!
Thanks for the tag @CindyMyLifeIsLit
📚Litsy, Hoopla, Libby, Kindle, Libro, Goodreads, the occasional KU listen on Audible, & Google Play books rarely. I also follow bookish profiles on FB, IG, & Twitter.
📚Multiple times a week, if not daily.
📚Since you're already on Litsy, I recommend Hoopla if your library offers it. Lots of different media to borrow, no waiting, and many cultures are represented. Mine even has 3 week borrow times!
My books that I got for the #spookysummerswap have arrived now to get goodies and send it!
Is anyone else having issues with the Litsy app? It's been about 3 weeks since I could use it. I'm currently logged in on a web browser. #litsybugs 💻 😑
Wow! I can‘t believe it has been 4 years since I took the leap & joined this amazing community of people. I am so grateful for all the groups I have joined, the amazing support of starting a silly monthly challenge, but most of all I am so beyond grateful for all the truly awesome people that it has brought into my life. There will never be enough words to express how much you all mean to me! Here‘s to so many more years! 💙💙💙
Just sent out my first replies with #LitsyLove!! 💘
6 years!! I love this community so much!! I‘ve met friends that feel like sisters (looking at you @Cinfhen and @BarbaraBB 💜), exchanged letters and books with even more people, gotten through a pandemic with you all, and found so many wonderful books I wouldn‘t have known about otherwise. Ah, you all just rock!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 #LitsyOG
Hey Littens! Just wanted to put you on your guard, especially any of you who are authors. There is an imposter account on Instagram, offering to sell authors book reviews and promotion. This is NOT us! Please do not give “librarything_hq“ any of your money! If you are on IG, please report them! They should not be doing this at all, and especially not masquerading as us. This is their page: https://www.instagram.com/librarything_hq/.
Hey all - I‘m just helping to spread the word on #LMPBC (Litsy Mark-up Postal Book Club) - it looks like there are just a few spots left!
It starts on March 1st.
Details and sign up:

When you fill out the comments, it is a good idea to mention what types of books you like to read. That way, people who like the same genre can try to be in the same group. Reserve your spot now!
Please share to spread the word!

Would anyone want to #buddyread with me 1 book each month for this year? We can pick the books together and keep each other motivated in our reading journeys! Plus I just want someone to gush about books over! ☺️💕
I gathered my lists of books read this year into 1 list today (52 books total) and then chose my top 10 (listed here in the order I read them)! Although I didn't read as many books this year as in the past, there were so many good ones that it was really hard to pick only 10 - and technically I cheated by including 2 series 😅 Anyway, these were all amazing and I'd recommend them! 😊 (And if you've read them, I'd love to hear your thoughts!)
I'm ready to jump back into #BookSpinBingo in January 2022! 🎉 Since I don't have much time to read but want/need the motivation of a bingo board, each of my books gets 1-4 squares depending on how hard I think it will be to finish it. Whatever my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin are, I will try to finish those books in their entirety. (If both numbers are the same book, I'll think of a plan B) I'm excited for the new year of reading! 😊 @TheAromaOfBooks
I completely left these out of the picture! They are so soft and will keep my hands warm! @Chrissyreadit @sprainedbrain #wintersolsticeswap
@Chrissyreadit I love everything I got for my #wintersolsticeswap thank you so much!!! I do have a sort of newbie question, what is the broom with bells for?? I love it and hung it on my door. I love the books and gifts I'm so excited! Thank you❤❤ @sprainedbrain
I was lucky enough to catch the moment I hit 10k litfluence exactly. I am so grateful for this wonderful community!
What's the collective noun for reading Littens? @CGainor3 @squirrelbrain @TrishB @scripturient @Leniverse
Estimated arrival Saturday!! #wintersolsticeswap @Chrissyreadit @sprainedbrain
I really don't know yet it's my first yule lol. I want to do something but I'm not sure what?? I thought the lady part of my #wintersolsticeswap package was going to arrive earlier this week but I was mistaken and it should arrive today. I do love hot cocoa and spending time with friends that are family. 😊 I haven't been able to for ten years due to an abusive ex And last year I was just refinding my friends after escaping him.
@Chrissyreadit
Is anyone else annoyed that goodreads isn‘t allowing write-ins this year? If so, @LibrarianRyan is gauging interest in another round of Litsy awards, so you should go to her post and let her know!

I just have one more thing that should arrive today and then I can ship my #wintersolsticeswap package!! Yay! I love swaps! ❤ I love being able to participate in them too! I've had so much fun with this! I hope my match loves everything!
@sprainedbrain @Chrissyreadit
The books for my #wintersolsticeswap partner are arriving (well most of them!!) Now to wait for the rest of the presents before I can ship!! @sprainedbrain @Chrissyreadit
As an aside my grand opening at work is finally over so maybe I can actually get some reading in!
Now to wait for everything to arrive.... and do a little bit more shopping.... I think 😁 #wintersolsticeswap
@Chrissyreadit @sprainedbrain
#two4tuesday @TheSpineView Thanks for the tag @Chrissyreadit
1. I actually got to visit it already it was Powell's Books.
2. I don't usually go with a list of books I want, but on occasion I will.
Already started my #wintersolsticeswap shopping! @Chrissyreadit @sprainedbrain I'm excited! I love litsy swaps!
Reposting for @Liz_M Thanks for the tag!💕
Ms. Liz has proposed a great idea to keep activities on Litsy easily assessable. Please add your thoughts and ideas to the mix.

Thank you so much @AlizaApp I love everything! Sadly the handle on the cup broke during transport, but I think with a little glue it can be fixed! I'm so excited to read the books and use the candle!
Thank you!

My #basicwitchswap package came. 😃 I'm so excited! @sprainedbrain @mklong
#litsylove
It‘s been a minutes since I‘ve sent out some #litsylove. I‘ve been battling some migraines for two months. I‘m trying to get back into sending some letters. I do apologize for the lack of letter writing.
Also consider the dog fur a bonus 🤪😏 🐶 🐱
#Scarathlon2022 #TeamSlaughter #Week2 cumulative point total is 483! I've been doing well getting in a bit of fun reading every day. Although I didn't finish any books this week, I'm now over halfway through a few books! Making progress on my #BookSpinBingo too. 😊 @Clwojick
I forgot to post this, but I did okay with September's #BookSpinBingo! Finished my #BookSpin at least. 😅 I kept my #DoubleSpin on my board for this month and will hopefully finish it in October! @TheAromaofBooks
Package for #basicwitchswap is mailed! Expected arrival is Tuesday!
@sprainedbrain @mklong
I'm so excited!
I didn't keep up with #BFC21 well last month. This time I've made a little tracker on the same pages as my #BookSpinBingo and #Scarathlon2021 tracking, and I've kept my goals simple: Read for fun and practice good sleep hygiene (especially taking time to wind down instead of staying up late studying and then tossing myself into bed immediately, that doesn't work for me as an adult like it did as a teen) at least 21 days each. 👍 @wanderinglynn
This'll serve as both my #BookSpinBingo list and my #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter TBR for October! I'm having a hard time reading anything that isn't required for seminary right now, so I've divided most of the other books into halves or thirds to encourage myself to at least make some progress! Really looking forward to October and hopefully being on Litsy more. 🥰 @TheAromaofBooks @Clwojick
#basicwitchswap I should be mailing my package this Friday on my day off! I'm excited!
@sprainedbrain @mklong
Love you guys!
