Welcome to Litsy!

Like @Centique said, this is not my favorite of the Love Medicine novels. Many characters are difficult to love, and there is less humor and more relentless depression. But I did love Fleur‘s final act. And I think I know what happened with Lipsha, but would love to discuss with anyone else who has read this. Number 10 for #24in2024 @Jas16

I finally finished the Love Medicine tetralogy (apparently that‘s what a 4 book series is called). While still excellent this one has the fewest stars from me - possibly because my favourite older characters aren‘t in the foreground and something in the plot that didn‘t get resolved disturbed me. I think I understand why it ends that way but if anyone else reads this I‘d love to discuss it!
Also here‘s my library in autumn - not spring here 😊🍁🍂

My #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo list for June. 😊🌺

@TheAromaofBooks
#summer #summerreading #Junebirthdays

Coming along nicely! I now have one 4/5, and three 3/5 lines - surely I can swing another bingo soon. #bookspinbingo

My #BookSpin and #BookSpinBingo update. Haven't started my two book spin books yet, but I'll be starting one today, might start the other one too. I also made two changes to my bingo board as I realized when making it that I had one book twice and accidentally picked a March release (Added A Bad Day for Sunshine and Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?)

Found this travel-based bingo on a book blog I follow (fictionfanblog.wordpress.com) for those of you who are as addicted to bingo boards as I am 😂

Q: Just to be clear, (haven‘t played Bingo since I was a young Catholic) the free spaces , even without a finished book, can complete a Bingo in row/column? Last year I put titles in each free space but what if I don‘t?
Also, does it seem like just yesterday I posted my December 2020 bingo?!? 😳😂

Week 3 Checkin: I really let the ball drop this week as far as reading goes and only finished 1 short book (Comfort & Joy). I did watch quite a bit of holiday movies so that helped get me at least some more points and another bingo on my movie bingo board 😆. Total for the week: 263 #merryreaders #wintergames2020

Chugging along on #bookspinbingo - trying to decide what to read next!

Got this made last night for my first ever #bookspinbingo and am really looking forward to getting started!

With one day delay, finally I can post my #BookSpinBingo card for December. Given how busy was November at work, I am not sure I will make much progress but it is something I really look forward to.
Thank you, @TheAromaOfBooks.

December‘s #bookspinbingo board 😁 need to try and get a few holiday reads into my free spaces for #WinterGames #MerryReaders have made a start on my #bookspin as well yay!!

I made my December #BookSpinBingo card. I can‘t wait to get started! I made sure this one was loaded up with lots of titles for #wintergames so this month you will find me curled up under a blanket reading stories about white Christmas.

Here's the bingo card! First, I put our official numbers (19 & 9) back in the mix. Then I drew them all out & wrote them down as I went, meaning the official numbers are just mixed into the card with the rest! As you can see, 21-25 are both labeled with their numbers & also as free spaces, so you can use them to match however you wrote your list. To score a bingo, just read books (in any order) that are in any row or column!! ⬇

So far so good on November #bookspinbingo

Dare I hope to complete another this month? It‘s been tough with school and having hubby around again, but he‘s now back at work after his R&R so maybe I‘ll get a little time to myself again. Of course, it‘s also Thanksgiving, so...

And finally, my #bookspinbingo board! With my #bookspin DNF and the ones I did finish, I‘ve got not one but TWO bingos! I‘m hoping to get at least one more, but that remains to be seen. I have one more hoopla borrow to read this month, and two more of the mythology series from the library, and then maybe I can read some of my own books.

Final bingo board for #SummerFun!

The Obelisk Gate by N. K. Jemisin covered On TBR over 6 months
That Summer by Sarah Dessen knocked off both "Summer" in title and Summer romance or wedding, getting me another bingo!

Brings me to a total of 29 entries if I'm adding right.

Thanks for the fun, @4thhouseontheleft & @StayCurious !

#bookspinbingo August . mid month check in. Finished my #bookspin working on #doublespin “Bonfire of the Vanities “, finished up two that filled free spaces.
Going to start “Wretched of The Earth” because it‘s a square that has 2 possible bingo rows in common.

My #BookSpinBingoAugust is coming along nicely @TheAromaofBooks
Since #bails and #hibernations count I‘m racking up several BINGOs 😜

#BookSpin - done. #DoubleSpin - done. Next up: Hmm... how do I wanna #BookBingo? 🤔

If I give someone my list of books . Can they make a bingo for me ? I probably won‘t stick to it if I do it myself lol. #bookspin #bookbingo

SOOO excited for July‘s #bookspin Bingo! I‘ve got my card all filled out (with the #bookspin and #doublespin picks highlighted) and I can‘t wait to put the holiday weekend to work!

Oh my gosh everyone I'm SO SORRY - Litsy is being INCREDIBLY slow and buggy this morning!!! WHY!

Anyway!! Here's the bingo card! First, I put our official numbers (3 & 15) back in the mix. Then I drew them all out & wrote them down as I went, meaning the official numbers are just mixed into the card with the rest! As you can see, 21-25 are both labeled with their numbers & also as free spaces, so you can use them to match however you ⬇

Erdrich is my favorite author so I had to start the decade with one of her books!

The Bingo Palace carries the stories of the characters readers have come to love from Love Medicine, and this books focuses on the Pillagers, specifically Lipsha, and his odd, loving, and frustrating voice and thought process as he falls in love and searches for his path in life.

“I can see that although she is tired she is also sure of her path.”

“She‘d always acted as though she owned everything and nothing: Amy, earth, those who crossed her path, road, and Pillager land. It was because she owned herself, they said, because she was a four-souled woman. Like her grandmother, Fleur Pillager possesses more souls than she had a right to. It was not proper. Even now, who knew how many she had left to use? She could not be killed”

#bookwormbingo @EclecticReaders
I‘m close to reading all of Vonnegut and Anne Rice.
Haven‘t had the chance to go to a signing.
I don‘t fly enough to have bought a book at the airport.

I‘ll be joining in the #litsyreadingchallenge2018 are you? Thanks to @jessberk13 for this fun challenge!

Yay! #litsyreadingchallenge2018 Thanks, @jessberk13

I have been so crazy busy at work this week, my Litsy-ing has been very limited.

But I found this new Little Free Library today outside my favorite brunch place!

Okay, @scripturient it's just too easy for littens! #bookwormbingo

@Mimi28 posted this and I thought I'd see how I did. Lol

Been thinking about The Commons a lot lately. And then the skunk comes along in this book and supplies the perfect quote for how I've been feeling.

Can't.Stop.Reading.Erdrich. Crushed this one in two days and already on the @Powells site picking up a couple more of her linked novels. I ❤️ libraries and used bookstores.

Finally made my #tbrbingo into a nice graphic and expanded it too!

Yay! Inspired by @WhatDeeReads @JenP and others, I'm doing TBR bingo! Anything to help me work through this stack (or part thereof 😉). Just realised the generator has scrambled my carefully planned rows, so this will be interesting ... (= bingo novice 😂)

I'm hopping on the bandwagon! #TBRBingo ... I cheated a bit and used my already set up #TBR2017 ... I'm going to make a couple more, bookshelf, digital/kindle, and audio.
READ ALL THE BOOKS! ✊🏼

Summer bingo card from The Ripped Bodice. The only all romance store in the U.S.

View from my reading nook under the stairs. It's been a long day, but Ian is out picking up pizza 🍕 (because he is really nice and I don't want to go back out) and I'm here staring at my books 😍. Sunday is looking up!

Flea markets & thrift stores make for a good day. #bookhaul #Ireadeverything

I am in! #litsyreadingchallenge2017

Indigenous Book Club Month Rec: Another great story of modern day Native life. This book showcases all the weird, drama-filled relationships on the Rez - with illegitimate kids, large and complicated families and the constant conflict between modern and traditional worlds.
