Litsy

This isn‘t something I would normally do, but I‘m asking this wonderful community to send positive thoughts, prayers, hugs, etc. Please. I have just been hospitalized because my COVID symptoms are worsening.
I haven‘t been able to hug my kids for over a week and now this. I‘m terrified to be honest. Any love would mean so much. #ILoveLitsy

Asthecroweflies I‘m very sorry you are going through this. The worst part is being so isolated from family. 🙁 At least technology is on our side with FaceTime to visit with loved ones. Many are beating COVID-19 and I‘m sure you will too. You are in my prayers. 3y

I love Litsy and the friends I‘ve made here. This is the only place I have been able to find on social media that is relatively free from discussions on politics. We see that everyday on the news and in our lives. I just want to come here talk about books, and happy things, and not see it or have to read about. That‘s just my opinion. It‘s been free from politics since I‘ve been on here 4 years, if it hasn‘t then I must not see the pages.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Letters going out to @Eggs @aroc @Ash.on.the.line @witchyreader13 @elizamarie. @ScoobySnacks3 @aprilpohren 💌📫📝❣️ (edited) 4y

eanderson Samesies! I can‘t stand how Facebook is. I loved it before when there weren‘t as many people and no sharing. Now all it seems to be is a super political/sharing/ads filled mess. I love Litsy and spend most of my phone time here. 💕 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @eanderson me too!! I wish we could keep the politics there even if its about a book. You should know when it gets posted in a certain way people will be offended and it just ruins a place like this... (edited) 4y

See All 19 Comments

BethM I totally agree. I can excuse a post once in awhile, but if anyone gets overly political I just unfollow. 4y

eanderson Yes, I agree! It can ruin a place like this where so many of us go for positivity and feel safe. I tend to ignore negativity. I understand that my views, opinions, and beliefs differ from many people. I feel like it‘s ok to not agree on everything and not to push my thinking on others. 4y

TheSpineView I could not agree more!💙📚 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @BethM that‘s what I did... 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheSpineView 💙💙 4y

Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 😘😘😘 (edited) 4y

TheBookHippie I post my opinion 🤣🤣🤷🏽‍♀️ however I don‘t care if anyone agrees. (edited) 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheBookHippie you and I have different opinions, but we aren‘t ugly about it and don‘t talk about it on Litsy.. My point on the other post is that Litsy isn‘t the place for politics. Just my opinion and of course people didn‘t agree. And so it begins... 4y

TheBookHippie @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 🤣🤣🤣 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheBookHippie 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ 4y

Birdsong28 Yes. I totally agree with you about this. Everything is so negative and this place is so nice. When I do go on FB then I notice that mental health plummets so I only go on it it if it is absolutely necessary. Also that even if we don't agree on things on here people are gracious about it and realise that we all have opinions. #ILoveLitsy (think this needs to be a hashtag on here if it isn't already) 📚 📖 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Birdsong28 you‘re so right!! I guess I have missed the political book posts until today. Everyone has a right to their opinion and I understand that, but they have to know when they post political posts it‘s going to stir things up. Hence the reason I don‘t... 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Facebook has been full of conspiracy theorists and armchair politicians the last few years, but even more so in 2020. I take a peek at a few friends & family pages, scroll quickly for their children, pets, and memes, then promptly close it. Whatever you do, don't read the comments unless you want to feel angry! 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick very true!! I‘ve thought about deactivating mine. 4y

tracey38 Agree. Love that card, too. 💛💛💛 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @tracey38 thank you!! 4y

Awakening Your Ikigai: How the Japanese Wake Up to Joy and Purpose Every Day | Ken Mogi

OK, today's #CYOReadathon QOTD is not really readathon specific. Please feel free to repost and share. @MittenGirlPeach mentioned her love for Litsy in her #BigBookSummerReading post and it got me thinking...

#ILoveLitsy because of the real connections and conversations I have here. I also love Litsy because I discover books like the one tagged (thanks @ByChallaF !)

Megabooks Yes, yes!!! 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I came for the books and stay for the people (and the books!) It's nice to discuss books with like-minded people without the drama of the other social media sites. 4y

MsMelissa I don‘t have a lot of people IRL to talk books with, and being with others who share my passion is the reason I love Litsy. That said, I‘m a long time user who left Litsy last fall. I no longer found it fun, and was constantly muting hashtags for things that had absolutely nothing to do with books or reading. I‘ve only recently come back - I missed the people too much to stay away permanently (I still mute a ton of hashtags though 😂). 4y

See All 13 Comments

Sace @Book_Fiend_Melissa here *pats sofa* sit next to me. 😂 I've taken a hiatus or two (and possibly participated in non bookish things) but I always come back to Litsy mainly because I do find it easier to stick to the topic but also love knowing that if I need a hug, people will be there to listen. 4y

Sace @Book_Fiend_Melissa PS- I am a hashtag muting fiend! 4y

Sace @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick And it feels so much more like a book talk place. I can't seem to get into bookstagram though there are Littens who do both. 4y

Sace @Megabooks I think your recent posts are a perfect example of how awesome this place is. 4y

MsMelissa Honestly, if it wasn‘t for the muting hashtags feature I wouldn‘t have come back! I certainly don‘t mind the odd non-bookish post, and I‘m quite sure I also posted them from time to time, too, but I‘ve had to mute many of the daily questions/survey ones because I get tired of scrolling through my feed and seeing the same graphic over and over and over again. But I do love the people I interact with here 😊 4y

Sace @Book_Fiend_Melissa I was so happy when I learned I could mute hashtags. I'm OK with the Qs and Surveys and I do one or two a week but I do try to NOT tag a book (sometimes I still do) because it is frustrating to go looking for reviews and to find nothing but tag games and Qs. 4y

Sace @Book_Fiend_Melissa and I find the hashtaggimg much more palatable here. In Instagram it's like there are 50 for one post. 4y

MsMelissa OMG yes! The hashtags on IG are crazy 😂 And I‘m good with some of the weekly/daily Qs. I‘m quite enjoying the one currently circulating listing favourite books. It‘s fun to see what people pick. (edited) 4y

Sace @Book_Fiend_Melissa I am always down for a "favorite book" Q! Mine change daily, but yes... I love seeing what people love. Anything that elicits a bookish/reading answer is fun for me. I'm kind of a reading life voyeur. 4y

MittenGirlPeach I couldn‘t love this post more if I tried! I‘m so happy I found Litsy. It really fills my bookish soul. The readathons and challenges are so much fun, the community is terrific, and the book ideas are never-ending. Looking forward to a summer of reading! 4y

When you‘re up until 430 giggling at #bookishmemes and you think maybe you‘re just loosing your mind and little bit from lack of sleep, but you decide to share them all on Litsy anyways. Waking up 6 hours later to this notification badge was a little shocking! But I‘m glad you all get my 4 am sense of humour! #ILoveLitsy ♥️

The Shadow of the Wind | Carlos Ruiz Zafon

I had to scroll for 22 minutes (yes, I timed it🤣) but I think it‘s super appropriate that my first ever Litsy post was about one of my all-time favorite books. ❤️

I don‘t think it‘s really been 3 years yet, though... I feel like Litsy first got started in late spring of 2016?

Anywhoooo... I‘m so glad I found this place and all of you!

sprainedbrain @LibrarianRyan I was so afraid it was going to do that... it‘s been happening lately when I try to scroll all the way through my feed. I made it though, and thankfully have a good audiobook for scrolling. 😂 5y

SW-T Gorgeous! So well stated 🥰 5y
