Just posting a quick hi to Litsy members. 🙋♀️ I joined here after looking for a laid-back and fun reading platform. Knowing most reading challenges begin with the New Year, December seemed like a good month to start.
About me: I volunteer at an animal shelter and only work part-time. My reading preferences vary depending on my interests or mood but I often seek out nonfiction, classics, fantasy or HF books. I also enjoy music and hiking.
pickA beautifully written coming of age tale of a quiet young woman who leaves Ireland for America. WE follow her as she navigates this new life, creating something of her own. As she settles in, news brings her back to Ireland but with a new found confidence but questions about whether she‘ll return or not. This was a slow burn, but ended up finding this very engaging. Read for #literarycrew

I‘m happy to share next year‘s #LiteraryCrew ‘s reading list! Roughly 20 Littens voted on the list of titles, which is an amazing number.
The clear top votes went to Passing and Radar Girls. Passing technically had the most votes, but I think it‘s a good book to read for Black History Month.
If you would like to be included on the tag list, please let me know! All are welcome! #BuddyRead
Congratulations, @Jerdencon & @Librarybelle ! You‘ve been matched! 🥳
Your official reading list will be winging its way to you via email within the next 48 hours.
You can start tracking those books down so soon!
Please note:
All reading for this event should begin on January 1st, 2026.
Thanks for participating!

Hey #LiteraryCrew ! It‘s time to discuss this month‘s book. I have 8 questions posted as spoilers; you can find them on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtag.
We conclude the year with Colm Toibin‘s Brooklyn. Official post tomorrow, and I hope to have the results from voting ready by then to also announce next year‘s titles!

The Leftovers was made into a series on HBO in the mid-2010s. Have you seen it? If so, what are your thoughts on it? How does it compare to the novel?

7. This is a deep novel that explores ideas of faith/spirituality, grief/loss, and moving forward, among other themes. Perrotta participated in an interview where he discussed these themes in part; the book itself was written after his father passed away.

The app is more or less defuncted now. Some of the accounts listed on the page aren't active, but @LitsyEvents is a good one to follow. ✌ 3d

@BarkingMadRead - I'll definitely be checking out #hashtagbrigade. The new TV adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo is on my radar so it would be fun to read the book with a group. 🤗 3d
