Felt a little bit better today, and got a bit of lovely reading in on the porch after it dropped below 90°. 💕

The Desert Fathers: Sayings of the Early Christian Monks | Benedicta Ward

Taking a short break from science fiction to read this book. A Canticle for Leibowitz got me inspired to read some early Christian text.

rwmg I'll be interested to hear what you think 5y

An excellent set of arguments for the reality and importance of God becoming man. Absolutely beautiful and victorious in its mindset.

Phoebe: A Story | Paula Gooder

pick

Third finish of #24in48 is Phoebe by Paula Gooder. This book is a fascinating fictional account (well-sourced with historical notes) of the life of Phoebe, a leader in the early church who was trusted by Paul to deliver the Letter to the Romans to the church in Rome. I‘ve been reading it alongside an in-depth study of Romans and it has brought so much life into what it would have been like for Christians living in Rome in the 1st century.

The Story of the Bible: The Fascinating History of Its Writing, Translation and Effect on Civilization | Larry Stone

Here is a “small” selection of my Bibles. I am at my parents farm over the summer so I am practicing “Voluntary Simplicity” as much as I can. When I have actual shelves again I can take another photo.

I also brought a small amount of fiction with me so that I can finish my MountTBR in small chunks.

I have fallen dreadfully behind in all of my challenges. But we all know life and work has a way of changing up things.

DebReads4fun Do you have a favorite Bible? 5y

quirkyreader @DebReads4fun I don‘t have a favourite translation. I am constantly flipping back and forth during my reading and studies. 5y

Talk about Litsy

Before, when you search or click a hashtag, Litsy showed posts tagged with that hashtag

Now, for some hashtags, like #cozies, #paranormal or #AmericanHistory you also get posts on books that ARE that tag—paranormal books, horror books, American history books.

• This is a GREAT way to find people who read the genres you love!
• Tags are drawn from LibraryThing's 140m user-added tags.
• No posts are removed; most Litsy hashtags are unaffected.

umbrellagirl Thank you! 5y

TimSpalding There are a lot of wrinkles here, if anyone is interested. For my part, this has made Litsy much more useful, because I can search for genres and topics I care about. Absent this, I was lost trying to find my tribe on Litsy. Now I can search for hashtags like #AncientHistory #GreekHistory #Archaeology #EarlyChurch #Turkish and find lots of posts about books I care about, and the people who write them. (edited) 5y

TimSpalding In other words, whether YOU like it or not, I LOVE it. [runs from the room] (edited) 5y

saresmoore Super cool! 5y

JennyM Awesome! Thanks guys 5y

speljamr I like this and will be exploring this more. 5y

Crazeedi Great!! 5y

gilroyc I'd rather the two searches be separate. Genre isn't the same as hashtags. 5y

TimSpalding 1/So, we had a choice. A new feature along those lines would take a lot of work and therefore cost a lot of money. And where would it go? Or perhaps we could tell people to use ## instead of #. Or we could have a setting that turned it off and on. But Litsy is an aggressively simple application, and I think it's worth keeping it such. To reverse it, when you search for #horror, do you really only want posts tagged that way? (edited) 5y

TimSpalding 2/ I think most of the time you're interested in horror generally, and if it surfaces posts about horror books—some tagged horror by the posters and some not—that's good. 5y

TimSpalding 3/ I'm interested to hear cases where it falls down, if any. We might also add a line at the end of posts like: This book was tagged #horror by other users so you know why. Or even list a few such tags. And, yes, we can add a setting to turn it off. But I need to see significant examples where it's worse before we add complexity. 5y

rretzler Hmmm. Now I just need to try to figure out what hashtags are applicable to the books I like since I don‘t use any particular hashtags on LT 5y

BarbaraBB Thank you!! 5y

LibrarianRyan Great. Thank you. 5y

LeahBergen Oh, this is exciting! 👏🏻 5y

Litsy @Madison91 What are you looking for a grid view of? 5y

Madison91 @Litsy peoples pages, or is there already a way to do that? 5y

TimSpalding @Madison91 Your point of reference on grid views is Instagram here, right? 5y

Madison91 @TimSpalding yes! Saves me time on scrolling 😅 5y

Stephjotsdown Hi, I just discovered Litsy and i am loving it. But when I was updating my books, i find that quite a number of titles cannot be found in Litsy. How can I alert Litsy to add these books?
