Welcome to Litsy!

A very short but revealing article here. This falls in line with what we learned at some presentations during #BEA17 last year. https://www.google.com/amp/s/techcrunch.com/2018/01/24/print-book-sales-rose-1-9... #TheLitsyNewsNetwork #LNN

Oh yay!

This one just arrived as part of our book order. Excited to reads this one! Was fortunate to see her & get a preview of this at #BEA17 earlier this year.

Love her!😍

Thought it might be fun to do a book swap at our #PhillyMeetUp 😁Bring a wrapped book that you no longer wish to own and go home with a new book (that you don't need to purchase🤑) Every book will be tagged with a number, you'll pick a number & viola you have a new book 📚no pressure ~ don't need to bring a book if you aren't feeling it... looking forward to meeting everyone, @Jess been having trouble tagging you - apologies if I forgot anyone

Today's author spotlight: James Patterson! In 2016, he topped Forbes's list of highest-paid authors for the third consecutive year in a row, taking in $95 million 😱! His estimated income for the past decade: $700 million. He donates heavily to book-related causes. If you want him to guide you through writing a novel, you can take his class at Masterclass.com. (I talked with him about it at #BEA17 & thanked him☺️!) #AuthorPotpourri #TheMoreYouKnow

#TBRtemptation post 3! Any James Patterson fans here? I know there's a bunch of you 😆👊🏻. This is his latest, due out in bookstores this week. A serial killer is loose in Manhattan. Dubbed The Dealer for leaving a playing card on each victim. Officer Elizabeth Needham teams up with professor Dylan Reinhart to figure out how all of the victims are connected before more folks die. Sounds like another great JP thriller! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

#TBRtemptation post 1! #BEA17 edition (I found 1 more, lol). Slated for an October 17th release. The first in the new #YA #fantasy series The Realms of Ancient. Described as "American Gods" meets "Princess Mononoke". Roan's a high school student with dead parents & a comatose grandma. Her life was saved by Sil, the powerful Fox Spirit. The snake monster Zabor waits for her spirit-blood sacrifice to keep floods at bay. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?

So this is the last. The last item I brought home from #BEA17, I think *sighs*. Took three weeks to show you everything 😆. I may find more, but I think this may be the final one. It's a pouch from the @outofprint Booth 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻!!! And it shall be put to extensive use 😉👍🏻. I can't wait until next year. If anyone will be attending, reach out next year if you want. I had set up a Slack group & an email thread. #BEA18, here Littens come!
