Time for a much needed #SaturdayChatterday

Well, what a week it's been for everyone. How are you feeling? This is a safe space to chat about whatever is on your mind.
All welcome to join in.

AllDebooks I've taken refuge in books this week. The real world has been too much. 1mo
Librarybelle I found I wanted to read last night, which it‘s been a few days since I really could. There‘s been a lot on my mind, and Heather Cox Richardson‘s post this morning puts it into words so eloquently. She‘s an amazing political historian who bases everything she says on facts and history. But, this weekend is usual routines, with Sunday being a family get together. These checkins are so nice. Thank you! ❤️ 1mo
Bookwormjillk Happy Saturday. I have a busy week next week so I have to do some prep this weekend. I also have been doing some research for books to read next year which is fun. 1mo

Cuilin What a week! there‘s never been a time in my life where I prefer audiobooks to reading, but I did this week. All I wanted to do was curl up and listen to David Copperfield‘s life. Today I‘m going Providence RI to get my daughter for the long weekend. 1mo
Cuilin @Librarybelle H Cox Richardson is amazing. 1mo
DogMomIrene @Librarybelle @Cuilin I may need to suck it up and subscribe/pay for H Cox Richardson‘s substack. @Suet624 mentioned her to me. I‘ve tried Substack before and was overwhelmed by the number of emails I received. Wondering what you all would say the average read time is for her posts? Under ten minutes? Like could I make her a daily morning read with coffee? And then continue coffee with Litsy time (obviously 😉) 1mo
Cuilin @DogMomIrene I follow her on TikTok. 1mo
Suet624 @DogMomIrene @Librarybelle - I've followed Heather for years. You can read her on Facebook but the simplest method is subscribing on Substack. You don't have to pay for it if you don't want to. She is also doing an audio version if you're interested in that. It comes out later in the day. Did you see the post she wrote the day after the election? And her posts generally take less than 10 minutes to read. 1mo
Librarybelle @DogMomIrene @Suet624 @Cuilin I just started following her on FB, after reading the reposts friends would do! I also heard her speak a few weeks ago at a virtual event, and I was struck by how articulate and knowledgeable she is. I have her books and really need to read them. I agree with @Suet624 …it takes me less than 10 minutes to read her posts. 1mo
AllDebooks @Librarybelle How have I never heard of her? I'll be checking out her posts. Thank you. Knowledge is power! Honestly, these #chatterdays are a blessing and it's so much fun to check in. 1mo
AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk it's always fun to plan future reads. I hope your prep gies well. 1mo
AllDebooks @Cuilin Same! I've found them better at quietening the mind. And I've certainly needed that. Enjoy your long weekend and have a safe trip. 1mo
AllDebooks @DogMomIrene I've just followed her FB page 1mo
AllDebooks I have to say Litsy has been a lifeline this week. I've avoided other socials and news, cos it was too much. I've never felt so overwhelmed. The love and compassion of Littens has been a source of comfort. I've never known on an online community that is so supportive of each other. Thank you #Littens 😊 1mo
AllDebooks I'm spending the weekend on planning #MidwinterSolace I think we're really going to need it. And it will run thru Dec and Jan again. ❄️❤️❄️ 1mo
TheBookHippie Well considering people I love and even some on here voted against my being it‘s 😵‍💫. The people being really quiet because they don‘t dare say hate out loud and actually do know how dangerous it is now for me, and my students especially, (and a large population of people that live in the US) is hard to digest. I‘m not trying to be divisive. It‘s truth. So I‘m grappling with that this morning. (edited) 1mo
TheBookHippie @AllDebooks 💙💙💙💙💙 1mo
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I couldn't sleep last night after reading Project 2025 earlier in the day. 1mo
TheBookHippie @AllDebooks I read it long ago. It‘s terrifying. 1mo
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie it really is. I'd readnewspaper reports but the actual document is so much more sinister abd divisive 1mo
DogMomIrene @Suet624 @Cuilin @Librarybelle @AllDebooks @TheBookHippie Thank you Littens! I‘m following her on Substack with notifications through the app only, which will pair nicely with some Litsy coffee time while keeping my email a little less jumbled. Already read her 11/8 post and I‘m all in. 1mo
Suet624 @DogMomIrene 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 1mo
Suet624 @TheBookHippie Ugh. I know. Thank you for sharing the truth. 1mo
kspenmoll Litsy has been my safety net. Taking it easy after election fallout. Talking with like minded friends has helped. Just reading & walking today. Nature soothes me. Trying to keep the terror at bay. 1mo
dabbe Thanks for the tag, @MaleficentBookDragon. 😘 I just have to say it: what a fucking week. I also picked a great week to have a dental implant removed--plus finding out I had a pretty bad infection. Just the cherry on the banana split that reeks of mold. But ... the sun keeps rising, and the earth keeps spinning. And this is a place of solace and healing. Thanks, Littens. #onedayatatime 💙 1mo
Catsandbooks Feeling overwhelmed, enraged, and exhausted. Been watching a lot of hallmark Christmas movies. My plan for the rest of the year is to really lean into all things comfort and cozy. I just wanna stay in and not deal with people. 1mo

The StoryGraph makes it easy to share my April #wrapup. Granted there‘s no info about titles or anything, but I‘m pretty lazy. Maybe later I‘ll post titles.

I don‘t read as fast or as much as other #littens, but I‘m pleased with my April reading.

Librarybelle I love the graphs on Storygraph! 7mo
WorldsOkayestStepMom You don't have to be a fast reader to enjoy it! I haven't finished a book since February, but I'm enjoying the book I've been reading. 7mo
Sace @WorldsOkayestStepMom I‘ve been working on it! My reading goals this year are to read more, count less and to just go where the books take me. I‘m trying to savor and not speed through. I don‘t think I read at all in February! 7mo

Deja Dead: A Novel | Kathy Reichs
post image

My lovely, clever, marvelous #Littens . I recently started rewatching Bones. And I‘ve realized I haven‘t read any of the books that the show is based on.

Are they any good? Should I give them a try?
#BookAdaptations

Ruthiella It‘s been ages since I read one. As I recall, they were pretty good. I think, however, the TV show is not an adaptation of the books but more loosely based on Kathy Reichs real life. 8mo
vlwelser The books are good. But they have no relation to the show. You should try one. But think of it as a separate thing. 8mo
Kristy_K Agree with @Ruthiella and @vlwelser . Books are good but outside of the MC‘s name and job, they are different. I enjoyed both the books and the show! 8mo

julesG What the others said. The books are good, but it's definitely not about the TV serie's Tempe. I'd say the novels are the fictional/exaggerated story of Kathy's job. 8mo
thebacklistbook According to an interview the TV series is about Kathy Reichs but she wasn't comfortable being directly depicted so they named the character after Tempe instead. The books are in my opinion good. As long as you don't go in expecting to recognize stuff from the show. 8mo
Shemac77 I love the books! 8mo
TrishB I love the books- but I‘ve never watched the series! 8mo
LiseWorks I love the books, they are not like the show. 8mo
BookBr The books are fantastic, but the show takes a very different take on the basics of the story… 8mo
Read4life I‘ve enjoyed both. Like others have said, they are different. The books are closer to her real life where she splits her time between NC & Quebec. 8mo
TNbookworm I love the show but haven't read any of the books either 🙂 8mo

The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida | Shehan Karunatilaka
post image

I don't know if Shehan Karunatailaka is unusual in Sri Lanka, but for me it is an #UnusualAuthName. Some mixed reviews from #Littens. My musical friend said the audio would make Richard Wagner's Ring Cycle feel like an episode of Seinfeld. Whatever that means. 😏 #NewYearNewBooks (Google image of Ring Cycle performance from Lyric Opera of Chicago.) @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Eggs Fascinating 👏🏻👏🏻 10mo

Decided to go through my Litsy TBR to find a #NewYearNewBooks #TitleBeginsWithS. Yikes! Pic above is my list before I gave up trying to get through it all. Thankfully, I have reviews from #Littens to narrow the field. Though #Litten reviews is how my #tbr got so long in the first place. 😀 📚 🤩 Starting with tagged book from Libby. @eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Eggs Great List 👍🏼👌🏼🙌🏻 11mo

Happy New Year, #Littens 💜
