Welcome to Litsy!

Saturday afternoon
Browsing Litsy when I could read
Waste of time? Hardly

Not creepy, but current mood.
#HalloweenHaiku19

I try to send new members of #litsylove these cards with a #blackcat on so that you have my address handy. @Foxtails915 card coming your way soon! @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheBookHippie

4pts +1 = 5pts #teamslaughter @Clwojick @TheReadingMermaid #chillingphotochallenge

Also tomorrow's entry for #screamathonphotochallenge @4thhouseontheleft as the prompt is the same (#blackcat).

So, for some reason I thought today was my Litsyversary, but I found my welcome email and discovered that I was wrong. Anyway, it's been a fun 3 years of geeking out about books with you super cool people. Thanks for letting me have a place to do that!❤

I had the thought this morning that I must be approaching my first year using Litsy. Well, it turns out today actually IS my Litsyversary! Thank you all for creating such an amazing community ❤ I'm looking forward to a second year!

So excited for the #LitsyLove Swap!! Helping out @SamanthaMarie by filling this one out!

1) Yes 😊 I even added a bunch of titles yesterday.
2) Bookmarks, my book sleeve (so books don't get bent in my bag), a book light
3) Love candles! Fancy pens in fun colors, bath bombs, stickers for #LitsyLove mail!
4) I love so many candies. Just no nuts or coffee flavors. Milk chocolate is preferred, & love it w/ caramel or coconut. All fruity gummy candy!

1) yup!
2) bookmarks, gel pens, stationary, stickers
3) socks and tea mugs
4) jelly beans

Excited for the #litsylovewinterswap

I'm very excited for the #LitsyLoveWinterSwap

1.) Yes it is!
2.) Bookmarks ♡ Book logs ♡ Stationary ♡ Everything ha! ♡
3.) Candles, socks, book bags, book related paraphernalia
4.) CHOCOLATE. I am sadly allergic to dairy and soy so it has to be dairy/soy free. But I looooove chocolate!

I'm easy going!!!

@Kaylamburson I'd love to know your answers though I already thoroughly stalked your Litsy and I'm pretty sure I know what I'm getting you 🤣

Bookish wisdom from one of my daily emails straight to you. 🧠📖 🙌🏻📚💙

Ahhhhh!!! It‘s been so wonderful being a part of this community for the last 3.5 years. 😁😁😁 Thank you all for helping me get to this milestone and for proving time and time again that book people are the best people!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉🍾🍾📚🎧💙💙💙

I will be doing a giveaway, and I‘m currently looking into what.

Lots of #LitsyLove going out! I was two months behind. Sorry!
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

3 of my most used literary mugs for #literaryloot @24in48

I'm still behind, but caught up on about half of my #LitsyLove and #JB replies tonight while doing something completely unbookish related--watching The Bachelorette and listening to podcast recaps if the episode, haha.

I just started using Litsy's website and not just the app and I'm loving it! I feel it's much easier to interact with what people post.

I want to thank all my Litsy friends for this exciting occurrence. So excited only 10,000 away from the big 100,000 🙌🏽👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏽📖😋 thank you all again ... do you guys see how many books I‘ve added to my tbr 😳😝📚📚📚

We couldn't choose just one! (But we couldn't choose them all—we don't have an infinite supply of mugs!) So we chose eight winners of the #DownPhoto contest. They are: @BookFreakOut, @LeahBergen, @jenniferw88, @Chelsea.Poole, @Soubhiville, @Simona, @mdm139, @Blaire .

Click on #DownPhoto to see these and the many other great photos.

Thank you to everyone who participated!

Winners: Read the comments to find out what you need to do.

So I hav sent out some responses but have more to do!

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Joined today after the joint Litsy/LibraryThing meetup yesterday evening. Thanks, Tim, for getting me into the Exhibits to get all these great books!

#ALA #FreeBooks

Help! I was trying to clean my TBR here on Litsy to take out books that I already own, and I didn‘t see a way on the app nor the website to just remove books, so I just changed them to read (which makes me anxious because I haven‘t actually read some of them!). Does anyone know if there‘s a way to remove books that we‘ve tagged as Reading, Want to Read, or Have Read???

LibraryThing/Litsy meetup at #ala #alaac

#ALA! Come to the Litsy / LibraryThing meetup tonight. See @Litsy for details!

I‘ve received my first #LitsyLove mail! Thank you @Lovesbooks87 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks and @Honeybeegirl for welcoming me in so quickly! I look forward to sitting down and writing some of my own!

Headed to #alaac19 this week? Don't miss out on the joint Librarything/Litsy meetup! Say hi to your fellow bibliophiles offline.

Saturday, June 22, 6:30pm
Busboys and Poets
450 K St NW
Washington, D.C. 20009

We've also got free exhibit hall-only passes you can grab here: https://www.librarything.com/topic/307549#6843202

Let us know here (or on LibraryThing: https://www.librarything.com/topic/307549) if you'll be attending.

See you there!

I think Litsy is my TBR #BookSource these days. I see so many good reviews, discussions about books quotes... I guess I add a book a day to my stack.

#30JuneBooks @howjessreads

I got so much #litsylove in the mail today!! @Princess-Kingofkings I love my book mark and letter!! @Stacypatrice I love my letter and your stickers!! @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks you are wonderful for this group and for my letter and my Minnie Mouse sticker!! @Lovesbooks87 it is a beautiful card but it got soaking wet in the rain and I wasn‘t able to read anything 😢 but your kindness makes my heart happy!! Now it‘s time to write you all back!!

Sample Litsy #downphoto

Anyone keen to join me this round @Sarz @BecH @thegreensofa @Tashreads @Freespirit @CarolynM ? Any Aussies are welcome xo @suvata

We want the next version of the app to have a feature to see posts about your books, following books, etc.

For now, however, we did the next best thing. For now, we did the next best thing: @PostsAboutYourBooks, a special account for posts from books you‘ve stacked or posted about from across the Litsy community.

You can look at it at any time, or you can follow it, to have the posts mixed into your regular feed.

Are any Litsy members going to the American Library Association meeting in Washington, DC—or just live in the DC area? We're looking to plan a meetup!

The meetup will probably be a joint Litsy/LibraryThing thing, at a bookstore cafe in the area, like Kramerbooks, or Politics and Prose are all on the table.

Post here, or on LibraryThing at http://www.librarything.com/topic/307549 .

We'll also have free day passes to give out soon.

🤓😯😍

Here's my entry for #downphoto!! @Litsy 📚📓😻😴😴

My Litsy #downphoto entry! Feel free to caption this for me.

My pick for the @Litsy #downphoto - a classic #Chloe shot. No idea about a caption - but I‘m cracking up looking at this again. 😆😆

Took this in my backyard during a rare kid break.
It reminds me of the joys of escaping screens for a bit. Sometimes a forced break from favorite apps can be a good thing! #alwayslookonthebrightside 📖☀️

My contribution to the #downphoto question. This guy visited our driveway the other day. Almost invited him in for tea!

#downphoto Also posted this on FB but here‘s my entry to the competition. 😁

We need your help with a Litsy “down“ image—a photo to show when Litsy is temporarily offline.

Rather than some stock photo (like above), we figured we'd ask the community for help. Just take a photo and tag it #downphoto. On June 18 we'll pick our favorite to use. We'll give out three Litsy mugs—one for the favorite and two randomly to anyone who gave it a shot.

Got an idea for a good photo? Leave it below.

Congratulations to Littens @ErinSueGreads, @onemused, @cmastfalk, @Books.Bottles.and.Babies and @Shakespearience! And thank you to EVERYONE who posted something on social media. You got the word out—thank you!

Winners, please send an email to litsy@librarything.com with your username and your address, and we'll send you out a Litsy mug.

Liz, I forgot to say how sweet you are with your thank you card. That is a skill in thoughtfulness I stink at. It arrived before the weekend but I put it down and became distracted!

#Changes @Megabooks

📘 The biggest change is my TBR pile is no longer a pile but a mountain... several mountains actually. It is over 1K and I am afraid to do a count.
📘 Litsy has become my favorite social media. All the others pale in comparison. I spend lots of time here and not so much on others.

This is a reminder that Litsy has a Facebook group, “Onward Litsy!“ where staff and members get together to talk about the future of Litsy, discuss potential features, review new features, take polls, etc.

It's open to all Littens, with over 1,000 members already!
