Ive started the audio for #CampLitsy and while I‘m liking it, I‘m not sure audio is the best way to go. My daughter is arriving on Tuesday and she‘s bringing me a physical book. I might choose to hold off listening and try print. Which means I now need to decide on a new audio😄

MicheleinPhilly This has ASL illustrations that I thought really added to the story. 2y
TrishB I think this will be my next one. Think. 2y
Megabooks I did not listen, and there are asides about sign language with visuals that I‘m glad I had the print version for. 2y

Cinfhen I mean the irony isn‘t lost on me that I‘m listening to an audiobook about deaf culture 🤦🏼‍♀️ @TrishB @MicheleinPhilly @Megabooks I think im gonna wait for N and go with print!! 2y
MicheleinPhilly This was my local bookstore‘s last book club pick. Unbeknownst to me, not only does the author live in Philly, she lives in my neighborhood. 2y
Cinfhen Oh wow!! I love that local connection @MicheleinPhilly ❤️❤️ 2y
DivineDiana So nice that your daughter is coming to visit! @MicheleinPhilly That is amazing! What a City! ❤️ 2y
squirrelbrain Yes, I‘m reading it in print and can‘t see it working well on audio at all. 2y
Cinfhen All my kiddos are coming @DivineDiana for a month!!!! I can‘t wait but I‘m a little anxious…it‘s going to be a VERY FULL HOUSE and that means LOTS of cooking, cleaning and little time for reading 2y
DivineDiana You WILL have a VERY FULL HOUSE! And yes, there will be LOTS of additional chores, but there also will be LOTS of LOVE! The reading can wait. ❤️🥰❤️ 2y
Suet624 Wow! All the kids! So fun and potentially exhausting. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣🤣 (edited) 2y

A great first month, but behind schedule for #LitsyPassport (aiming to read 1 book a month), and started more series than I finished or got up to date on! 😳😂 Whoops!
Will have to target these in February.

AmandaL WOW! Great month! 6y
Andrew65 @AmandaL It was, targeting bigger books is definitely working for me! Thanks 👍 (edited) 6y
Mdargusch Nice! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 6y

Andrew65 @Mdargusch Thanks 😊 6y
merelybookish Impressive!! 6y
Andrew65 @merelybookish Thanks 👍 6y
robinb OK, now you‘re just showing off! 😳😱😮🤭😂😂😂 (and justifiably so!) Congratulations, amazing numbers!! 👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉👍 6y
Andrew65 @robinb 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🙈 Thanks Robin 🙌🙌🙌 6y
robinb @Andrew65 I wish I read faster (like a lot of folks on here). But I think it also depends on how much I‘m invested in a book too. Currently, not so invested....at all....sigh. 6y
Andrew65 @robinb This is where the big books have got me invested, been difficult to put them down. 6y
robinb @Andrew65 totally understand! 👍 6y
batsy Very nice! I'm a bit behind on challenges, too :) #bestlaidplans 6y

This Bronte juvenilia-inspired children‘s book fell into my Book Outlet cart while I was shopping for my #CupidGoesPostal match. 😉

Melissa_J Nice mug 😊 6y
ElishaLovesBooks “Fell into the cart” 😂😂😂 That happens to me all the time!🤷🏻‍♀️ (edited) 6y

batsy I'm looking forward to reading this 👍 6y
saresmoore @batsy I‘m looking forward to this, too! I can feel a serious Brontë kick coming on... 6y
batsy @saresmoore When the Claire Harman bio of Charlotte came out I said to myself that I will have a Brontë year in 2016, but that didn't happen, so I said 2017, but that didn't happen, and now in 2018 I seemed to have signed up for a million other challenges 😂 #bestlaidplans 6y
LeahBergen @batsy @saresmoore Count me in - I‘ve recently bought that Harman bio. 😂😂 When do we start our Brontepalooza? 6y
LibrarianRyan Now I don't feel so bad. It's sitting in my cart too. 6y
batsy I'm up to having a #brontepalooza anytime 😂 Do we want to start on a lighter note with the tagged book? If @saresmoore has access to a copy too, then perhaps we can do a low-key buddy read in February? As Sara and I are reading Agnes Grey for litsyclassics in Feb, too 😊 6y
LeslieO Oh, I hate when that happens! 6y
TrishB Litsy certified disease - books jumping into baskets. 6y
rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen @batsy @saresmoore I'm in for a #brontepalooza any time too (and I have the tagged book). 😊 6y
saresmoore @LeahBergen @batsy @rubyslippersreads I have a copy of the tagged book and can start any time! I also hope to at least dabble in 6y
batsy @saresmoore @rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen Oh, yay! When do you guys want to start 🤗 I've got my eye on the Juliet Barker book, too! Actually, I can't remember if I actually bought it; I should check 😳 6y
rubyslippersreads @saresmoore @batsy @LeahBergen I have the Barker book too. February sounds good for Glass Town. 😊 6y
LeahBergen @Melissa_J I knew you‘d approve. 😉 6y
LeahBergen @ElishaLovesBooks @UwannaPublishme @LibrarianRyan @LeslieO @TrishB I‘m glad you‘ve all had the same problem. 😉 6y
LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads @saresmoore @batsy Anytime in February works for me. I‘ll jump in as soon as I see one of you start it. 👍🏻 6y

Sooooo. The bucket wouldn't fit into any of the mailing boxes I had lying around the house. So, instead of puttering around and trying to find a different box, I decided to not put the bucket in and mail everything out today. So I hope my recipient isn't too sad about her bucket.😥 #beachinbookswap #bestlaidplans

Cinfhen Still looks adorable and awesome 💗💗💗 7y

He's never named in this section, but in the saga of "Jacob, the Intern Everyone Hates," we find out his fate here. Cue the trumpet player performing "Taps." #TROiUA! #TheSagaOfJacobTheIntern #FuckTheIntern #FuckThatGuy #JacobSucks #ManuelGonzales #ERMadLibs #readingchallenge

Ruri_kaichou Now I really want to read this book. But I'm trying to stay on task! #BestLaidPlans 7y
BillBlume @Ruri_kaichou come to the dark side! We have cookies, and lots of hate for interns named Jacob. 7y

The Swans of Fifth Avenue | Melanie Benjamin
post image

I like this #tbt thread...most of those reads were via NetGalley, if I remember correctly & I remember being excited to get my hands on Melanie Benjamin 's Swans. It was a fun, rompy read. I also enjoyed I am Pilgrim. Title appropriate for this time of year 😉

Reviewsbylola I still need to read the Melanie Benjamin. 7y
MicheleinPhilly I bought I Am Pilgrim to read on vacation whenever it came out. Still haven't read it. #BestLaidPlans 7y
Cinfhen @MicheleinPhilly maybe it's time to give it a go! 7y
Suzze @MicheleinPhilly I went to post and realized you had said exactly what I was going to say, just delete "on vacation". I just bought it because I wanted it REALLY BAD and planned to read it RIGHT AWAY! ???? 7y
MicheleinPhilly @Suzze My shelves are full of similar such purchases. @Cinfhen Maybe I will! Of course I've also said that about 100 other books that Litsy reminds me I own but haven't read. ☺️ 7y
