Welcome to Litsy!

The first night in Chicago my usually cold every night and have to use portable heater self used the fan instead of the heater ( I have both in my room, lol, and I think maintenance has finally turned the heat off permanently for the season) I wake up with a very sore neck and right shoulder and pain radiating all the way down into my hand and fingers. Tramadol didn‘t help and heat helped a little. You guys remember this app? Who still has it? Lol

1. Rabbit hole picks or whatever‘s nearby/due next
2. I used to when it was an option
3. Usually people
4. Tea

In 1934, on his way to London after visiting his friend Agatha Christie, the young publisher Allen Lane stopped at the station bookstall at Exeter St Davids and saw that all the books on sale were of a poor quality and overpriced.
What was needed, he realised, were good books at a price everyone could afford.

It‘s the littlest things, like attending the Motor City Comic Con with your friend, @VioletCavalier , and finding a middle grade book to gift!

(I also shopped for my #MakerSwap, hence the shaded things in the background 😉)

Thanks for all of the #jb #justbecause and #litsylove cards @Canndor @Crazeedi @Stacypatrice @IndoorDame @TheBookHippie @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Soubhiville ( and cute stickers) @phatsallylee !! Sorry it took me so long to post them. I fell again- this time on spilled water from a cat bowl in the kitchen 🙄😹 and am very sore. The x- rays came back fine they want another MRI and possibly a spinal stimulator for all of my pain. TYVM for support ❤️

So I do not quite hit my goals although there were some special@circumstances! BUT I do think being in this challenge had me thinking more about walking and exercise wh in is partially the aim! @wanderinglynn

Got these for 50 cents each at my library today! Excited to add these to my collection! 💕

A couple of weeks are good too..

Got my first #BFC workout of the week in! Went for a 30 min fast walk, while listening to Notes From a Young Black Chef. Did a big loop, stopped back at my car to grab some books out of my stash bag in the back, and circled back around to fill up this #LittleFreeLibrary in a palo verde tree! #bookfitnesschallenge. So I kinda carried some weights for a bit there... 😜 #audiowalking #audiowalk @wanderinglynn

Hello, so first I went missing from Litsy. Then I haven‘t read a book since Easter (but again, hundreds of thousands of words in fanfiction). Now, I‘m planning to move closer to university (my first flat share), and we are adopting a British shorthair kitten!! Lots of exciting and especially stressful stuff. So I‘m giving away some of my books to get room, as you can see in the picture.

Happy Mother‘s Day!! It doesn‘t matter if your children have 2 legs or 4, lol. Have a great Day!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😻😻⭐️⭐️

On a side note, here are two book sleeves I‘ve made this week. I‘m ridiculously proud of myself as I didn‘t think they‘d come out as well as they did! I‘m well-practiced at cross stitch and embroidery, but my machine stitching never really goes right, for whatever reason.

Thanks for the tag, @Crazeedi Trying to figure out how I missed #summersantagoespostal!
1. Chocolate, especially Dove promises
2. Dichroic glass pendants
3. Nova. We‘ve also been watching New Amsterdam, but we mostly watch sports.
4. Harry Potter movies. Not really movie goers.
5. Blue
6. Ice tea. Adult beverage-bourbon
7. Pitting cherries from our tree so my mom could bake pie.
8. If you‘re in this swap, you‘re tagged.

Sounds like a fun new cozy series! https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/602710/the-bodies-in-the-library-by-mar...

Just thought id share an email notification i had that the women's prize has announced a podcast. I plan to download and listen but i know a lot of you are reading the shortlist and like podcasts. I guess it's similar to the man booker podcast (which is very good as well). Enjoy ☺https://www.womensprizeforfiction.co.uk/reading-room/2019-prize/the-womens-prize-for-fiction-podcast-is-available-now

Anyone else excited about this? So many times I‘ve wished I could look at Litsy on my laptop. Now I finally can!

I love that I can access Litsy on my Kindle now! 😁

Are any of you Littens a fan of the Illuminae series? Did you know there is a 4th book coming out? Guess what? YOU CAN'T READ IT! EVER! Yes, the authors and publishers have decided that only the people who preorder the first book of a new series can get this novella. I liken it to going to the grocery store and trying to buy peanut butter and being told I have to buy jelly too to get it. This is just not right!😡🤬 cont. In comments.

Have you ever had a nostalgic flashback to a favorite book from your teen years??? Over the past year I have been randomly purchasing books I read in my early teens, but one is so obscure (but was a definite favorite) that I can't find it anywhere. I am so frustrated! 🤯

I had been debating joining in the fitness challenge and have decided that it‘s exactly what I need to follow on from a holiday reset, try and both stop working ALL the time and inspire me to get moving after 9 days all inclusive!! @wanderinglynn thanks so much for organising - this seems to have turned into a bit of a hit!

Dance With Me by Staci Stallings. This was a good book, but it was a little long for a romance novel. I really enjoyed Josh and Kaci‘s relationship. There was a lot of character development, although some of the stuff was a tad drawn out. I really enjoyed Mr. Wallace‘s words of wisdom. 3/5⭐️

I have to brag a little... this is the best reading year I can remember. I don't know what's working, but it's been so fun!

Nobody knows me better than my Litsy friends! Thank you @Crazeedi for the beautiful card and the bookmark that couldn‘t possibly be more “me.” 😘

1. Hey, it's me! 🤗
2. I just started A Discovery of Witches 📕 after watching the tv series. I'm not very far in, but so far it's captured my interest.
3. My son's Sr prom Sat so running around doing last min errands, #freecomicbookday, & reading to save my sanity! 😁
4. Right now the weather is hot & rainy here in Katy, TX ⛈️⛈️⛈️
5. I'm already too tired to cook 😴😴 so def take out. Just have to figure out where lol.

This is a wonderful collection of poems by Jane Tyson Clement. The poems are accompanied by a biography and commentary by Becca Steven's. Scattered throughout are pictures of the authors and scenes relating to the poems.5⭐ A must read for poetry fans. My full review is on my blog at www.thespineview.com

Playing around with the Hipstamatic app last night! 5 jump on in anyone who would like !!

Today is one of those days where I would rather trade my let‘s be an adult in the real world hat for my let‘s open a book and find solace in a place completely unknown one! #ratherbereading #littensmakethedaybetter #happyreading

Sending #allmylove to the hosts of #AnglophileApril - thanks for putting up with my obsession over Anne! You had roughly one prompt a week which reminded me of her lol!

@Cinfhen @Mdargusch @Reviewsbylola @emilyhaldi

I am so hoping we get our hardship checks today so I can mail out my #MythsandLegendsSwap package even though my person is very understanding. I still feel bad she won‘t have anything to open on the 1st.

I tagged people at random. Please feel free to join in even if you've not been formally tagged.

1) My back garden
2) Cold melon
3) BBQs
4) Ice water
5) Bum-Bag/Fanny-Pack

Thanks for the tag @Nessavamusic . Wow, my answers show me as being kinda dull. I'm alright with that :-)

#grateful21 Day 21: 1) My #litsyfamily 2) I went to a meditation meeting yesterday 3) I went to a cool new church I saw advertised on Instagram today. So I don‘t know if I‘m Buddhist or Christian, lol, labels suck. I‘m a little of everything 🤷🏽‍♀️👍🏽❤️ Peace, love, have a great evening Littens!! @JoScho @kspenmoll @Eggs Thanks everyone for your support I have learned a lot from this 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I‘m too lazy to go upstairs and get my current #25inFive #24B4Monday read so I started this novella on my Kindle.

I just found this page in my Kindle app. I had no idea it had this feature. I really have been making an effort over the last year to make time for reading and it shows!

Otis the #gingerbrat is home safe!

Thanks for the #litsylove cards this week @Canndor @TheBookHippie I am doing responses right now 👍🏽❤️🖊🖊

Not book-related but thought you might like to see a picture of me & my 90 year old gran! Her younger sister is behind me.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

#WhatWouldYouDo @DannyHattan

1️⃣ While I have a fair amount of physical books, not one is irreplaceable. Therefore, I would be much more concerned with my fur babies.
2️⃣ As much as I love books, I would step on all of them to save my family (that includes the four babies).
3️⃣ S'mores

This giveaway is amazing!!!
