My last book of the year was princess in love. My first of the new year will likely be dragonfly in amber, or whatever my next audiobook is. #lastfirst

“First the WORD then the STORY” A scientific idea in most the book but relates to writing/ creativity as well

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Yay!!! Did you get my initial card? 💗 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks #LitsyLove 5y

CoffeeNBooks I'm guessing that means you didn't get my first, misaddressed card. 😢 That's ok- the one I just wrote to you says basically the same things. 😂 (edited) 5y

Sleepswithbooks @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks and @CoffeeNBooks .... I didn‘t. My fault since I didn‘t catch my mistake on my address until so late. Darn thick fingers on a tiny keyboard 😣 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Stacypatrice is it correct now on the google document? 5y

Sleepswithbooks @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks ... It is. I checked twice 🤓 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Stacypatrice yay!! I‘ll write you again! I can‘t remember if I did already 🤔 5y

I was inspired by @Texreader to scroll to the end of my feed to find my #firstpost. I‘ve been on Litsy for three years and I‘ve loved every minute of it! It‘s great to connect with new Littens and I‘ve found so many more books to read that I don‘t think I would have come across otherwise. This community is awesome and I feel honoured to be part of it. 💜 #firstreview #firstlikes

Suet624 Wow! You had a lot of likes! 5y

PurpleyPumpkin @Suet624 Considering it was my inaugural post, there are quite a few likes there. But, it was such a new community and everyone followed each other, so our connections multiplied quickly. It was so exciting to find other super book lovers!📚 5y

Suet624 Good point. And it looks as though most of the folks in your list have stayed active. 5y

Purrfectpages How long did it take you to scroll back? 5y

PurpleyPumpkin @Suet624 Isn‘t it amazing?👍🏽 5y

PurpleyPumpkin @Purrfectpages 🤔 I‘m not entirely sure, but I‘d guesstimate about 20 minutes or so. I was determined! 5y

UwannaPublishme What fun! Now you‘ve inspired me to start scrolling back. Hope you‘re finding more time to read and enjoying warmer weather over there. 🤗🌞 5y

PurpleyPumpkin @UwannaPublishme It was fun to go back to where it all started! I‘m sticking to my planned reading goals for this year so far. 👍🏽The weather has not been cooperating this spring. It‘s been by turns cold and blustery, and then a warmer day sneaks in. I‘m hoping that the upcoming forecast is correct and the warm weather is on its way. I‘m so done with winter!! Hope all is well with you. 💜 5y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 🎂🥂 5y

PurpleyPumpkin @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Aww you are sweet! Thanks so much!💜 5y

flying_monkeys Hope you have a beautiful day today! 🥳 📚🤓 5y

PurpleyPumpkin Thank you so much @flying_monkeys! It‘s been a wonderful day. 😉 5y

So appropriate that @readinginthedark was my first commenter on my first post on Litsy because it looks like that‘s exactly what I was doing when I took this picture. I fell in love with this app and community of readers right away, and it‘s been fun looking back at where I started. #LitsyMemories #LitsyFirst #FirstPost

readinginthedark Love it! How did you even find your first post? Mine is so far back... 😆 5y

Ok so I didn't know what I was picking up. What a story. It's very relevant to today's teenagers. The topic was hard to read sometimes, as a mother of three boys but very insightful. An easy quick read!

@tpixie I have to admit I became curious... my first follow was @TrishTheBibliophile and my second was @DebinHawaii who always has excellent books and recipes. My third was @Yossarian - so cool to have had active people follow me! I‘m so grateful for all of my follows and all of my Litsy engagement! . #firsttofollow

I joined Litsy 5/12/2015 @Churchlady @Yossarian @JasonArnopp were my 1st 3 followers
@yosarrian and @Ms.Story are my 1st 2 still-active followers.
I first started following
@bookriot @Liberty @Litsy & @Churchlady. @Liberty & @Matilda are the 1st still-active individuals that I followed.
@LiteraryinLititz was the 1st person to comment on one of my posts! #FirstToFollow

kspenmoll Congrats! I joined in early spring of that year. Amazing how Litsy has grown yet retained its vision of sharing books, book life, & connectedness& compassion towards fellow Littens. ❤️❤️📚 5y

tpixie @kspenmoll thanks! Yes! It remains a wonderful place for Littens to connect!! ♥️📚♥️ 5y

Chrissyreadit How did you retain all of that info???? 5y

tpixie @Chrissyreadit lol it takes a little effort! I scrolled down all my ‘followers ‘ & ‘following‘ lists. Last year or two When people were talking about Their Litsy anniversaries , I scrolled through my email and my Facebook posts to figure out the date I joined Litsy! Then I put it in my calendar as a recurring event so I could continue to find it! 5y

Chrissyreadit @tpixie smart! 5y

tpixie @Chrissyreadit well I double checked with @Avanders to see if there was an easier way to other than to scroll- there wasn‘t!!! ♥️😊♥️ 5y

Chrissyreadit @tpixie @Avanders I will just go with time estimates.... and give up on figuring out the rest 🤣😂❤️ 5y

tpixie @Chrissyreadit 😊😆😂 5y

LiteraryinLawrence That‘s awesome! I still like following your posts. ☺️ 5y

tpixie @LiteraryinLititz it was fun looking back!! 5y

@brenna was the first person I followed on Litsy three years ago. Unfortunately she hasn‘t been active for awhile (busy with a little one?)
The first to comment on one of my posts was @Lakesidemusing who has also not been active for a while;
My first Like was from @CarolynM who is still quite active.
#firsttofollow #booktalk @Texreader

Texreader So glad you participated but too sad that a couple of your firsts aren‘t here anymore! But now we are friends! Bonus! 5y

Lcsmcat @Texreader 😀 5y

@YouReadMyEyes was the first person I followed on Litsy when I joined early this year. Unfortunately, she‘s going through some crazy stuff right now. Hopefully it gets all cleared up and she gets to come back to reading and all of us soon. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 #firsttofollow

Love this idea, @Texreader

Texreader I hope @YouReadMyEyes comes back soon and I ❤️ that you enjoyed participating!! 5y

MrBook Ugh! @BookBabe and I went through some tough stuff recently too 😕. Hugs to @YouReadMyEyes ! 5y

GingerAntics @MrBook at the moment, she can‘t even be on here. She‘s got to keep screen time and even reading time limited. Hopefully it all gets sorted soon. She‘s got to be going crazy without reading time. 5y

GingerAntics @MrBook right? 5y

YouReadMyEyes Aw, this made my day ☺️ thanks for your support! I‘m doing a little better, in the sense that my eyes aren‘t getting worse thanks to the steroid drops. But I‘ve really had to limit my driving, screen time and reading time, which is the pits. I‘m trying to be patient. Have follow up doctor appointment this week to see if any progress made. 🤞🏼🙏🏼 5y

GingerAntics @YouReadMyEyes keeping good vibes and fingers crossed and whatever else might help coming your way. Limited driving sounds almost as bad as limited reading. 5y

YouReadMyEyes @GingerAntics thank you ☺️ I hope you have a happy new year! Yes, limited driving is not fun :( 5y

I signed up for Litsy more than three years ago and the first person I followed was @jpmcwisemorgan who is still super active on Litsy! Who did you follow first on Litsy? Tag them and let them know you appreciate them! Tag #firsttofollow

TrishB I can‘t remember my #firsttofollow - but I remember my first to comment- which was @LeahBergen , closely followed by @Cinfhen . Both still post regularly and are lovely friends❤️ 5y

Librarybelle I think my #firsttofollow is no longer active on Litsy, but someone who is near the first on the list is @Cinfhen , who I had the chance to meet in 2017! ❤️ Thank you, Cindy! 5y

Cinfhen Awwww, this is sooo awesome❣️❣️❣️❣️ Thanks for the shoutouts @TrishB @Librarybelle 😘😘 my first to follow was actually @Yossarian who is still on Litsy but I defiantly engaged the most with @LeahBergen @LauraBeth and @WanderingBookaneer in those VERY early days of Litsy💕💕💕 5y

See All 39 Comments

Cinfhen And @WanderingBookaneer had a different name back then 😉😘 5y

Jerdencon My first person I followed was @georgie who hasn‘t posted in 2 years but my second person was @Lola who is still around. #firsttofollow This was fun 5y

hermyknee @AndreaReads brought me into the Litsyverse ♥️🥰😍 5y

LauraBeth 😘 @cinfhen I love that I‘m among the “first engaged” and also that we‘re all still here 💕 5y

quirkyreader Form me I think it was @Liberty. Granted I wasn‘t a beta tester, but after the app hit the ground I was invited to join by our friends at @outofprint . 5y

Cinfhen You know what they say @LauraBeth you always remember your first 😉😘and I‘m glad you‘re still here too!!!! 5y

WanderingBookaneer @Cinfhen : Thanks! I‘m laughing at your exchange with @LauraBeth , whose pictures of her dog were a staple of my early Litsy days. I‘m going to see if I find who was the first person I followed. 5y

WanderingBookaneer @Cinfhen : I signed up to Litsy because of a Book Riot article that included who to follow. My firsts is @outofprint , followed by publishing houses and @joe_hill . My first actual person that is not attached to a checkmark is @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled who is very much still active on Litsy. 5y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled @WanderingBookaneer Awwww!! Now I‘m all blushy!! 🥰 (edited) 5y

WanderingBookaneer @Cinfhen : Coincidentally, @Yossarian was the first to follow me. (I just checked out of curiosity.) 5y

sprainedbrain I had to scroll for a million years, but the fantastic @Macnjen was the first real person I followed (after Litsy and Bookriot). I appreciate you, Jen! ❤️😃 5y

Cinfhen Full circle ⭕️ @WanderingBookaneer Hope all is well with you & @BookishMarginalia 😊 5y

jpmcwisemorgan I‘ll have to check. It‘s been so long! 5y

CouronneDhiver @MrBook was the first to comment on one of my posts... 😊 5y

BookwormAHN I'm not sure who I first followed, probably @Liberty but my first comment and like was from @TheRiehlDeal and it was much appreciated 😸 5y

TrishB @LeahBergen I think it may have been about my bookmark 😂😂😂 5y

LeahBergen @TrishB It probably was!! 😂😂 5y

TheRiehlDeal @BookwormAHN You're very welcome! 😊 5y

kezzlou85 It was @cinfhen. You were so friendly and welcoming. 5y

Kappadeemom How do you know? 5y

LauraBeth @LeahBergen 🤗😘 5y

Texreader @Kappadeemom If you go to your main page and click on the gray tab that shows your number of followers, scroll all the way to the bottom. That first person is your #firsttofollow. 5y

Kappadeemom @Cinfhen my #firsttofollow was also @Yossarian and my second one hasn‘t posted in 3 years ;) It‘s hard to believe that I‘ve been on Litsy for 3 years!! ❣️❣️ 5y

Cinfhen The time does fly on Litsy @Kappadeemom @LeahBergen but the crazy part is that I feel like I‘ve been friends with some of these Littens my whole life!!! I‘m so grateful for Litsy🥰 5y

Cinfhen Hi @kezzlou85 👋🏼 since Litsy keeps growing & growing it‘s hard to keep up with everybody 😫😔 Hope all is well and thanks for the tag xx Happy New Year 🥂 5y

Macnjen @sprainedbrain Awww thank you! 5y

so-so

Not a book for young ones that's for sure, but it does make you think about the whole debate of sexuality and the right age to explore it. A bit excessive though.

Firsts: A Novel | Laurie Elizabeth Flynn

so-so

I really liked the premise of the book and the fact that it is very open and honest about sexuality and slut-shaming. Unfortunately, I felt like it dragged and didn't do enough character exploration.

MrBook As always, great review and pic! 8y

MLVReads @MrBook thanks 👍🏼😁!! 7y

so-so

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don't know why I was expecting more from this book , but well , I was. This is YA romance (I guess) about a girl that tries to help virgins through their first times but it goes wrong. She finds herself in the process and ends the story on a good note. I thought this was a bit too cliché for my taste. But go ahead , get entertained for a night or two ! 5/10 ⭐️
