1. I'm finally getting reading Maggie Steifvater!
2. My house is mostly fine after #hurricanematthew.
3. I'm helping start a #litjournal for my graduate program. While we have a print wing, we also have a blog looking for #guestposts, and I thought of you guys. I would love to post something about #multicultural reading, travel, etc. We have quickly growing web traffic, so it would be good exposure. https://obraartifact.com/submissions/

RebeccaRenner If you're interested but not sure what to write about, feel free to pitch me an idea. 😁 7y
MrBook Sounds interesting! Glad you made it through the hurricane alright 😊👍🏻. 7y
OSChamberlain That is so cool! Also glad you made it through the hurricane! Maybe I'll look through some of my fiction to send to you. Do you guys look for a certain genre? I mostly write general fiction. 7y

RebeccaRenner @OSChamberlain We're leaning toward experimental, which is hilarious because I write commercial fiction. #becausethebosssaidso But you should try us anyway. You never know. 🙃 But the blog posts we're looking for aren't experimental. 7y
OSChamberlain @BeckyRenner That sounds like it could be a lot of fun 😜 7y
CherylDeFranceschi Very awesome! 7y

Post- #HurricaneMatthew is crazypants in the eastern half of North Carolina but I am safe, friends! Water is icky, flooding is so sad. No electric. I have my family, my books, I am so fortunate. Pls send good thoughts to the people in my area😊

I do not miss other media rn but I MISS LITSY, what y'all are reading, thoughts on books, hashtags.

Is it weird that I'm thinking about @Litsy with this going on IRL? It just feels like home to me here😍

Meg11726 So glad you're okay!! I have family in Florida and I worried for everyone on the east coast. Today, the remnants of Hurricane Matthew is hitting us here in Nova Scotia. But we desperately need the rain as we've had one of the driest summers on record. I just hope no flooding occurs here 7y
Cinfhen @intothehallofbooks glad you're safe..sending you rays of sunshine ☀️🌻☀️ 7y
intothehallofbooks @Meg11726 Wow, I had no idea the storm continued north! The news kept saying it would loop around and go south again but I haven't seen any news in a while. Thank you for sharing this info. I hope you guys get the rain you need, but not the crazy rain that happened around this area. 7y

rachelm Thinking about you guys! Prayers and good thoughts for the flood recovery! 7y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings Thinking of you!!! We are in Fayetteville, NC and we got very lucky. I have seen the news and pictures of eastern NC and it is CRAZY. Sending so many good thoughts your way!!! ❤️ 7y
Meg11726 @intothehallofbooks it wasn't suppose to but I guess the system still pushed a lot of rain towards us. But we aren't suppose to experience any high winds or anything of that matter. But because we have had such a dry summer there's a huge change for flooding because the rain doesn't have chance to soak in ground if it's a heavy rain. And it's high tide. And we are right on the ocean. I work tonight so fingers crossed everyone stays safe 🚑🚑🚑 7y
Gayan Thinking of you and hoping this storm is done. 7y

Isn't it amazing what ebook technology can do for us when the power isn't working? You can see my Kindle + my candle in this picture but you cannot see my reading chair, my bookshelf, or my feet. I promise you they're all present 😉 #HurricaneMatthew #nopower #butIllreadanyway

I hope that all of you that have been/are currently in the path of this storm are doing okay!

Megabooks Take care!! It's just going to almost totally miss York Co, SC where I'm moving next week. Rain for sure! 7y
Dragon Your Kindle seems to have good battery life. Hope your power is on soon ! 7y
Litlady Glad you're ok - stay safe! 📚☔️🔦 7y

Nasty weather today due to #HurricaneMatthew, and instead of Netflix, I have spent the day #reading. Those episodes of Luke Cage will have to wait for another day! Hoping to finish this book today. Love the sound of rain tapping on the windows while reading...

Thankfully #HurricaneMatthew left me with power but i couldn't resist reading by candlelight anyways to add to the suspense of this story.

Next up—SWING TIME! #AllHailTheQueen (Dylan and I have similar feelings about this book. 😂😻🐶)

I live inland from the SC coast, but I have family and friends being evacuated because of #hurricaneMatthew. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers over the weekend. Mine go out to all of my Litsy friends effected by the storm. Glad to see the #HurricaneMatthewTBR posts out there and that you are all keeping your spirits up! Be safe everyone!

Alfoster Oh my...hope they are all safe!🙏🙏🙏 7y
[DELETED] 2232195534 Will definitely keep them in my prayers. Hope all will be safe... 7y
Godmotherx5 Hoping Matthew calms down & everyone is safe. 7y

bookwrm526 Same here, hunkering down after meeting for brunch with some friends who evacuated from the coast - the rain is starting to pick up 7y
Notafraidofwords I second it! 7y
LilMamaMastro I live in the Midlands of SC but I am on the West coast right now. One of my sons lives in Charleston so he evacuated to my house (relief!). I've been so worried about everyone in "the path." Protective thoughts...... 7y
kdwinchester @LilMamaMastro I live in the upstate and we're just getting rain, but it's very dark. Glad you are out of town for this! 7y
kdwinchester @bookwrm526 same here. Def picked up last night. 7y
kdwinchester @Alfoster @kaysreadinglife @Godmotherx5 The family in Florida is fine, but we haven't heard about how much property damage they have. Now waiting until the storm passes to hear how those in SC are doing. Thanks for your prayers and well-wishes! 7y
bookwrm526 @kdwinchester we are in the midlands - lots of rain and some areas are flooded but not near me, the wind is crazy scary, but the rain is supposed to stop around 4 7y
