Hi Littens...it‘s been awhile... anyone up for a game of #litsyavatar (story/description of your profile pic) and #litsyhandle (Story/description of your Litsy name)??
I just updated my avatar tonight. I visited and got an after hours tour of the Mercantile Library. It is a beautiful library!
My handle: A mashup of my first and last name:
Mi(Chel)le (Leo)nard. Pronounced Shelly-O even though I hate the nickname Shelly.
Share yours!
Saw this and thought it‘d be fun! I work as a mermaid 🧜♀️ and I‘ll do story times by the pool side. I also have a pool in my backyard and sometimes if the weather is nice I‘ll sit back there to read. Hence, Pages by the Water 🌊 📖
What‘s the story behind your handle?

Sharpeipup is a nickname that goes back decades now. I dressed up in a costume that I was too short for & it bunched up around my ankles like a sharpei puppy. #nowyouknow #litsyhandle
My #LitsyHandle combines two of my favorite things—The Wizard of Oz and reading. 😊 #whatsyourhandle
My name comes from combining my first name, Sue, with a truncation of my middle name, Elizabeth: SueLizBeth. #LitsyHandle. The thing is, no one knows how to pronounce it, or whether they should even try. It makes me chuckle. @kaye
My #Litsyhandle is an adaptation of my favorite WWE wrestler‘s name. 😂 His name is Chris Jericho (tagged one of his books here), and my name is Kris, so I went with krisjericho. I‘ve been using it on various sites for years and years, since the interwebs were just a new-fangled thing. Pretty much no one guesses where it came from because as a 42-year old mom of five and librarian-to-be, I don‘t exactly fit the pro-wrestling fan profile. 😂 @kaye
My Litsy handle story isn‘t all that exciting. I have two cats and I love to read, thus purrfectpages was born! #litsyhandle @kaye
As @Cinfhen mentioned yesterday, I wasn‘t always WanderingBookaneer. I think I was JaimitaPR before that. One day I was at the airport and saw tagged book. I loved the word Bookaneer and combined it with my love for exploring and thus my new handle was born. #LitsyHandle
✨Yay! ✨Today was a fabulous day for #bookmail!! First up is my #2018NFBE swap! It arrived!! I‘m not sure who to thank yet since there isn‘t a #litsyhandle on it. I can‘t wait to open it!!
In my case, it's a matter of bad experiences. I've known only 2 people actually named Shelly and BOTH of them were awful humans. To the extent that if I meet another Shelly, I'm really going to have to work to give them a chance. (edited) 4y
