Welcome to Litsy!

Here is your island reading selection, @MatchlessMarie !

I chose Where‘d You Go Bernadette because I really enjoyed that book, and Queer Little Nightmares because April is National Poetry Month (USA). I chose the other three because they all sounded good, and I‘m looking forward to hearing how you like them. Happy Reading!

#TrappedOnAnIsland Thanks for hosting, @aperfectmjk !

Sorry for the delay. I was finally able to get logged into Litsy on my desktop.

Please make sure that you get your picks posted as soon as you can. Because of my personal issues and technical difficulties, I've already caused a delay and I want people to be able to plan their reading as quickly as possible. I'm sorry everyone. Thanks for your support, it means the world.

Bear with me while I get our matches posted.

Last call for #Trappedonanisland. Matches will be sent later today. Sorry for my absent lately on Litsy. I'm really having a difficult time at work and it's consuming a lot of my energy, it's spilling into my personal life. Pray for me everyone, something has to change.

#Trappedonanisland starts April 1st... no joke! We're hoping you'll join us. Got a huge TBR pile and not sure what to read? Let someone help you decide!

- Those who would want to participate will create a shelf on their Goodreads called "trapped on an island".
- You will then add books to this shelf that have been on your TBR the longest that you want to tackle. The more books on your shelf the better.

@julieclair you‘re #TrappedonanIsland. Thankfully, there‘s a chest of books on the island, too.
I hope you enjoy the selection. I‘ve only read Winter Garden but I loved it. 🤓 Happy reading!

Thank you for organizing this Malina!

Matches are in!

I am going to try and start posting the monthly reminder during the middle of the month going forward. I have a calendar reminder set for the 15th of the month so that we have plenty of time to plan going forward. We're also going to need some new recruits to keep it fun so we don't end up picking from the same lists every month. My fault entirely for the lack of exposure.

Bear with me while I get everyone's matches posted.

Sorry for the late notice everyone. I got a promotion at work and while it's been good, it's been crazy. My brain is clearly overloaded.

Sorry it took me so long!! Happy reading @FantasyChick ! We have some of the titles on our list so I‘m excited to read what you think about them.

@Laughterhp Here is your island reading for the month. Enjoy!

#TrappedOnAnIsland #February #readathon Here‘s my five picks @TheAromaofBooks plus a bonus book(I couldn‘t resist the title, I‘ve been known as Lizzy my whole life!) There‘s romance, but there‘s also some suspense thrown in. The Lost Man is one of Jane Harpers best novels & I loved Shelter In Place. Enjoy!😘♥️♥️

@ETALTON you‘re #TrappedonanIsland 🏝️ Luckily, there are 5 books just waiting for you to read them.

I‘ve read three of these (Ove, To All the Boys & The Book Thief) & I‘ve heard good things about the other two. Your list was impressive to choose from. Happy reading 🤓

It's time for matches!

Don't forget to create a post and tag your match with the titles you have chosen for them.

As usual, bear with me as I get all the matches posted.

Okay guys it's time to load up those lists with all the romance and smut books you can handle.... or if you're like me, stick to the domestic suspense. 🤣

Happy New Year Everyone! Who's ready for a vacation, and maybe get trapped along the way with a stack of good books to read?

Bear with me while I get this month's matches posted. As a reminder, you will need to create a post that features the titles you have selected for your match.

Last call for anyone interested in participating in #trappedonanisland.

Post you list of your Goodreads shelves if you haven't already. Be sure to let me know if you want 5 or 10 titles picked for you.

Phew! Sorry for the late notice everyone. The Holidays came in like a wrecking ball this year.

I'm going to try my best to keep this challenge alive all year long for 2023 so we can all knock off some of those titles that have been on our TBR shelves for what seems like forever.

Rules are below ⬇️

@TheAromaofBooks you're trapped on the Faroe Islands, it's cold, and you could use something something to take your mind off the bitter wind swirling all around you. Luckily you found a trunk with several books.

Happy reading!

#trappedonanisland

@aperfectmjk Happy December! Here are the 10 books you‘ve been #trappedonanisland with! Hope you enjoy them.

The only one I‘ve read was An Alaskan Christmas, and it was a 5* for me ❤️

Matches are going out a bit early so we can get our #bookspinbingo lists finalized and other holiday reading challenges together.

As usual, please make sure you post a pic of the books you have chosen for your match and be sure to tag them and myself with the #trappedonanisland.

Please bear with me as I get all the links posted.

Just a reminder to send me a link to your shelf if you plan to participate in #trappedonanisland. Also let me know if you want 5 or 10 picks.

#trappedonanisland will resume starting 12/1. You can use your current trappedonanisland Goodreads shelf, or you can create a holiday shelf and share that if you want. I started a WinterGames shelf before it was canceled, so I think I'm just going to roll with it. This is a great way to finish off those random yearly challenges. Let us help you pick those reads.

Well Littens, I suck, some how time just slipped right past me. We're going to put a pause on #Trappedonanisland for November and we'll resume in December along with #LittenListen for another fun filled round of #WinterGames2022.

So start working on your #WinterGames2022 Goodreads shelves, or update your #Trappedonanisland shelf now in preparation.

It's almost midnight here, and I work tomorrow, so I thought I would go ahead and get out our matches for #trappedonanisland.

It's time to read for our lives, we're trapped and it's our only solace.

Please remember that you must read at least 1 title chosen for you. Please make sure that you make a post that features the titles that you have chosen for your match in a timely fashion so that we can all plan accordingly for #Scarathlon2022.

Just one week left before #Scarathlon2022 begins. It's not too late to sign up for #trappedonanisland. See original post for details.

Those that have signed up, please let me know if you would be interested in having 10 books wash ashore instead of 5. I myself am making a bingo card that is all about the unknown. Library holds, #trappedonanisland, and Spin The Wheel app.

For anyone that‘s interested in gaining some extra hourly Readathon points for #Scarathlon, and want some help choosing which books to read in October, head over to @aperfectmjk ‘s post about her #TrappedonanIsland event!

Hey everyone! If you're participating in #Scarathlon2022, considering joining us in #trappedonanisland. Let someone help you choose between those spooky reads.

Here's how it works.

- Those who would want to participate will create a shelf on their Goodreads called "trapped on an island" or for this month you can also use a shelf called "scarathlon2022".

This useless crab was able to arrange to send these books over to your island, but not get me out of here! Welp, I suppose there is reading to do while I plot my revenge. 😅🦀 @TheAromaofBooks Your list had a lot of books I am tempted to add to my own! I enjoyed Sharp Objects a couple years back and there‘s a series to watch when you‘re done! #trappedonanisland @aperfectmjk

#TrappedOnAnIsland
@PuddleJumper here are the books that are trapped on the island with you.

Happy Reading!

@aperfectmjk

Hey everyone! Can you believe it, you swam to that island faster than you thought. Sorry, I have a very busy day tomorrow and a short lunch break so I figured I'd send out our matches early. How lucky are you?!?

See below for your link/match. Don't forget to create a post featuring the 5 titles you have selected for your match. Remember, you are only required to read at least one.

#trappedonanisland

September is almost here! There's still time to join us in #trappedonanisland

Send me your trapped-on-an-island goodreads shelf by 8/31.

Hey everyone, we're half way through August. September will be here before we know it... then fall, pumpkin spice, I can almost smell it. Sorry, I got lost. Speaking of getting lost, come get lost on an island with us. Join the #trappedonanisland challenge.

@pigpen_reads congrats for surviving! Here‘s your list of books!

Congratulations @HeathHof ! You have safely made it to the island. These are the five books I got to you safely. Happy reading!

Congrats! @Sharpeipup You have made it ashore with the most important items: books. Happy reading! #trappedonanisland

Thanks for hosting @aperfectmjk

@Zuhkeeyah Here are the books that made it ashore with you! Happy reading ⛵️💼📚🏝

@aperfectmjk

Congrats! You have survived! Click on the link assigned to you to select 5 books for your partner. Remember to create a post featuring those 5 books and tag your partner.

Have fun!

Bear with me as I get everyone added. 😉

Just a reminder that #trappedonanisland begins in just a few days. Get those Goodreads shelves ready! And when doing so the more books you add the better because your match picks five books for you, and if you only have a few then really you're picking your own books and what's the fun in that.

Your cruise ship goes down, and your suitcase full of books goes down with it. You survive, you make it to an island, but not all your books make it with you. Only FIVE books survive the ordeal. Which books make it to the island with you? Join us in the Trapped On An Island challenge to find out.

To join, create a Goodreads shelf called "Trapped on an Island" and post a link to your shelf here. ⬇️

The time has come! We didn't that many participants for the challenge, but we'll just keep trying month after month either people will want to try or I'll give up on the challenge.

Remember, you will pick 5 books from your matches shelf. You will then create a new post, tag your match listing your 5 chosen books along with the #trappedonanisland.

After you have received your 5 titles, it's up to you what you read but you must read at least 1.

Just a reminder that the Trapped On An Island challenge starts July 1st. I hope some of you plan on joining. Don't forget to post a link to your Goodreads shelf.

I have 261 books on my shelf... I wonder which ones will make it to the island. 🤔

#trappedonanisland

So I'm thinking of a new challenge. Lately I've noticed I've been reading a lot of newer releases and have been neglectful of some of the TBR books that have been on my list for years. I never seem to pick these books myself, so why not have someone else pick them for me? So here's how I'm thinking the challenge would work.

@Sarah83 also added things for the kids. They love Donald Duck comic books and Sarah just added to the collection. They'll be pleased, they've read up all their Christmas comic books already.

Also, a photography book with puppies, B.Cavallaro's A Study in Charlotte (German edition), sweets (Leseratten = reading rats).

Not sure I'll share the bookmark, the chocolate bear, notebook and tagged book. (Gollum voice: my preciousssz!)

The 2nd volume of Mickey Mouse strips from Fantagraphics, covering 1932-33. They're absolutely gorgeous, and Gottfredson is a master of building up momentum, both with danger and with humor. The commentary handwaves the 1930s racism more than I'm comfortable with, though.
