Welcome to Litsy!

Sorry for not being on over this weekend, things have been rather busily chaotic.

I‘d like to introduce a brand-new Litten: @thelibraryyogi ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

She‘s a brand-new colleague and brand-new librarian. She teaches yoga and loovves to read!

I persuaded her to join our #LitsyFamily when we worked together on Saturday. 👍🏻👍🏻

@thelibraryyogi , check out @LitsyWelcomeWagon and @LitsyHappenings !

Tag some Littens, please!

Good evening, Litsy friends! I wanted to give a #LitsyWelcomeWagon shout out to my pal @Briar-Rose who is new to our bookish community. 📚💜👋

Please welcome these new Littens by visiting their pages to say hello and starting the #whotofollow train! #LitsyWelcomeWagon:

Name: Kirsten #Litsyhandle: @diruvamp
Music is my therapy and a band who means more to me than I can ever put into words is Dir En Grey. They are a Japanese band and in Japan their fans refer to them as Diru. The vamp part of my handle is pretty self explanatory - I am just a little goth vampire girl 🧛🏻‍♀️😊⚰️🦇

Name : Santhi which means peace/ be calm in Sanskrit. Growing up, I was nothing like my name! Lol
I am a Singaporean Tamil (Tamils are part of Indian ancestry from South Asia :)

My #LitsyHandle - BookishMe would have been my blog's name if I could maintain one.
