KadaGul I had such high 🆙 hopes for 2025 and writing more #LitsyLove responses, but work has made it super tough. Otherwise, I totally would‘ve loved to have another pen pal.#WorkLifeBalance?!$ 4w

LiseWorks @KadaGul I totally understand about the work getting in the way, but sometimes just getting a card, letter in the mail just makes the day. You write when you can. ❤️😍 there should never be pressure with being a pen pal. 4w

KadaGul @LiseWorks My sweet friend, I have a pile going for #LitsyLove, and it's been going for a couple of months. I love that I have a few regular people that I write to; it's so refreshing and fun. I do the cards and swaps as a way of decompressing from work. I'm finally coming to terms with the workload being more, not less, so let the fall season start. I'll have a month or two ✌️ to settle down. 4w

julieclair Hooray for new members, and hooray for icebreaker ideas! Thank you both, @StayCurious and @LiseWorks for spearheading this fun new group! I plan to write some letters this week. 💌 3w

I really enjoyed folding this Cube Snail by Gen Hagiwara. This was taught at this year‘s Origami World Marathon which I missed the live stream of. Thankfully, participants have access to instructional videos for a year. I couldn‘t resist posing this cutie outside. I think it would be cool to fold with patterned paper or do some gel printing on the shell side of the paper. @Catsandbooks #litsycrafters #creatures

Catsandbooks So cute! You could even color that one with a fun design! 2y

psalva @Catsandbooks That‘s a good idea too! And it might be easier that way actually. It‘s such a fun design :) 2y

I stubbornly remain in my funky little ‘I‘m still reading, but at a snail‘s pace‘ slump… This week I read the last chunk of Outrun The Moon & caught up on #LesMisCAD which I‘d fallen pretty far behind on. No Progress on Wollstonecraft or Dickinson so they‘ll roll over to June w the bulk of my May TBR. Next week I‘m hoping to finish The Lighthouse Witches & The Devil in the White City, but prob won‘t start anything new. #BookReport #WeeklyForecast

Cinfhen As long as you‘re still reading - doesn‘t really matter at what pace 💕💕 2y

dabbe @Cinfhen #ditto! 🩵🤍🩵 2y

IndoorDame @dabbe so frustrating! But @Cinfhen is right. As long as we‘re reading, it really doesn‘t matter 💙💙💙 2y

Question, especially for those of you who use Storygraph. How do you determine if a book is slow, medium, or fast-paced?

TheNeverendingTBR Go onto the page the book is on and scroll down and it'll give you the details 🙂 5y

Amandajoy @TheNeverendingTBR I was more wondering what makes a book slow/medium/fast paced. Some that I think of as fast paced might be listed as slow paced. 5y

TheNeverendingTBR @Amandajoy Because Storygraph is new, it goes by the reviews been done on said book since then. 5y

Soubhiville I rate based on how fast the plot moves. If the book takes place over just a few days or weeks, that‘s pretty fast. If the book encompasses years or lifetimes, I‘d definitely call that slow! I never thought about it before StoryGraph but I‘ve found I mostly read slow or medium paced books. 5y

Lcsmcat I think the pace of the writing determines it. So a “page turner” would be fast, but a book, even if it takes place during a 24 hour period, that makes you read more slowly to take it all in would be slow. For example, Ulysses by Joyce. It‘s one day, but it would take more than a day to read! 5y

janeycanuck I‘m like @Lcsmcat - for me, it‘s how quickly I get through the book. So if I‘m reading 100 pages in an hour, that‘s fast-paced. If I‘m reading 20 pages in an hour, that‘s pretty slow. 5y

Amandajoy @Soubhiville that seems like a good way to look at it. @Lcsmcat @janeycanuck that was how I approached it, but all the ones I think are are fast paced for that reason, storygraph labels them slow paced! 5y
