Litsy

I didn‘t do enough reading last year to make use of the templates I made. Here‘s hoping 2026 is different. I already have a contender for worst read of 2026. 😅

Feel free to use these if you‘d like. ❤️
(This one is basically the exact same as last year‘s just with the months ordered differently since I didn‘t like how I had done the bottom.)

LinesUponAPage I'm curious: What is your worst read already for 2026? Your tracking brackets are nice! 1d

Roary47 Saving this for worst of the year. Love the graffiti and bonfire. 💛 I hope your reading gets better from here. 1d

dabbe I tagged this as #worstreadof2026 on the new #LELH (#LitsyEventsLittleHelper) spreadsheet; I hope you don't mind! 🤩

Larkken I enjoyed using your brackets last year, thanks! 1d

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @LinesUponAPage A Very Unconventional Christmas by Stephanie Osborn. I will say that I jumped in without realizing it was the third book in a series, but even that wasn‘t what made me give up. The author described two friend characters in one run on sentence the way someone would describe a perp to a sketch artist. Snapped the book shut and moved on. 😅 Thank you about the brackets! 🥰 24h

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @Roary47 Yay! 🥰 Thank you! I‘m so glad you like it. I appreciate it. I sure hope it turns around. It has in the past when I‘ve had a slump. 🤞 24h

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @dabbe ❤️😱❤️ Thank you so much! I don‘t mind at all! 🥰 24h

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @Larkken I saw your post! I‘m so happy someone got use out of them. 🥰 24h

LinesUponAPage @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm that's wild that it was like describing a perp! Too many books out there to waste your time on a dud. 23h

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @LinesUponAPage Lol, yes! 🙌❤️ 17h

Yule: A Celebration of Light & Warmth | Dorothy Morrison

Taking the #litsy temperature. Who would be interested in a yule themed card swap this winter? And if you wouldn't mind stating what country you're from so I can get a vibe for international interest levels. #swaps #yule #solstice #litsyswaps
#LitsyEvents

KadaGul @thebacklistbook Count me in 🙌 for the Yule Swap 🔁from the USA 🇺🇸! Work 🏢has been hectic for a long time now, but all the football 🏈, card, and book 📚swaps keep me sane 😌and add much-needed fun🤩🥳! 5mo

Bookwormjillk I usually do the Winter Solstice card swap. When would the Yule Swap be? 5mo

thebacklistbook it would be opening date of January 1, I'm thinking. it will be structured very similarly to the #autumncomfortswap just yule themed. so base commitment the card and small stuff with the opportunity to send more if someone wants to. @Bookwormjillk 5mo

CrowCAH I‘ve been into the card swaps lately! Yes, from MI, USA. 4mo

TheBookHippie I run a nature winter non holiday celebrating the season card swap yearly. We open on December 22 And another litten runs actual Holiday cards I don‘t think anyone does Yule . 4mo

Chrissyreadit I love all things Yule…. Samhain…. Mabon…. Ostara….. would love to participate as long as i catch the sign up post. 4mo

Tombland | C. J. Sansom

#ShardlakeBR #LitsyEvents

So sorry I'm late, Shardlakians! I just got home from vacation yesterday? How are we doing on TOMBLAND? And thoughts or comments? I am wwwaaayyy behind, so I have nothing to say except that I hope to be catching up this month! If you're like me, no worries! You're definitely not alone! Next check-in will be 8/31 with a final discussion on 9/30 over the entire book. Have a great week! 🩵💙🩵

LiseWorks I love this book. This time, it seems to be all about the legal system, and boy, it's sad. 5mo

AnneCecilie I love this one as well, as I‘ve mentioned before this series is a reread for me. But I had completely forgotten why Shardlake was in Norwich. I remember more of what happens later. I completely agree @LiseWorks about the legal system, imagine being put in trial and not being allowed to pay for someone to defend you. I can‘t imagine how many have been wrongly convicted because of it 5mo

kwmg40 I‘m enjoying this book very much. The length is a bit daunting but it is interesting learning about the legal system in that time. 5mo

dabbe @LiseWorks It is stunningly sad, isn't it? 5mo

dabbe @AnneCecilie Pretty much everything about living during the Tudor times was tough, whether you were poor or the wife of the king. As bad as our modern times may be, nothing compares to that! 5mo

dabbe @kwmg40 🩵🎯🩵 And thank goodness for 3 months! 😂 5mo

Daisey I‘m also way behind and currently working on catching up on Kristin Lavransdatter as well, so we‘ll see how that goes with school about to start as well. 5mo

dabbe @Daisey 🩵🎯🩵 5mo

lil1inblue I'm plugging along! I like the book, but compared to some of the others I feel it's dragging just a bit. But I still have 65% to go, so we'll see what happens! 5mo

lil1inblue @liseworks @annececilie The legal system is infuriating! And the punishments are so excessive for many of the crimes! Yet again, those with means can game the system, and those without suffer - often wrongly. 5mo

dabbe @lil1inblue I hear ya! 🩵🎯🩵 5mo
