I can't believe it's the end of June!! Where is this year going? And I'm sad to say I'm waaaaaaaay behind on my Goodreads goal, like my goal was 70 and I should be at 35 but I'm only at 19. I feel like there's no way I'll catch up 😳. And every year I tell myself I want to give the LOTR trilogy another try, and every year I only get about about a third of the way through the first book. I'm thinking of trying the audiobook book this year though 🤔

I wasn't sure whether I'd like this book or not, but it ended up being one of my favorite reads of 2016. Mark Watney is super hilarious and amazingly resourceful - he's a total bad ass that I couldn't help but root for. Also, there's a donut in this picture.

BookishMarginalia Cool pic! 7y
Utopiyll This is a beautiful picture! 😍 Have you seen the movie? I've only seen the movie and am wondering if there are any divergences from the novel! Might have to give this one a read. 😊 7y

JenWindramReads Yes I've seen the movie @Utopiyll !! The plot is the same in both but there are a lot of things left out of the movie. Some people struggle with all of the technical parts of the book, but that didn't really bother me. And I though Mark Watney was way funnier in the book. 7y
ruthemmielang He's got a new book coming out this November! 7y
Librariana I love your pics over on Instagram and am so glad they've now made their way to the Litsy community 😊💖 7y

This is one of my all time favorite reads!! The formatting takes a little time to get used to, but once you've got it figured out you're totally sucked in. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. And some of the pages hardly have any words so it makes you feel like you're reading super fast 😂.

jolovestoread Yes, I was shocked at what a fast reader I was with this one! 😂 7y
Spinatale I love weird formatting for books and this is one of my favorites! 7y
Yabookgrl1981 I'm pretty sure you just summed up my high school years with the cassette tapes and floppy disks. I'm pretty sure I have a box of both in my basement 😂😂😂. I had different colored disks for different classes. I thought I was so cool 😎 7y

biblionatic I was completely hooked! I think I binge read this one until 5am. 7y
JenWindramReads Haha it's true @jolovestoread 😂 7y
JenWindramReads I think the formatting was perfect for this book @Spinatale 😄 7y
JenWindramReads Haha can you believe I actually had to buy these props for this picture @Yabookgrl1981 ??? I'd thrown away all my old tapes and disks 🙈 7y
JenWindramReads Yes it was so hard to put down @biblionatic !! 7y
bookishwonderland I still have to read this book 😅🙈 I have it on my shelves since last summer, but I'm afraid to start it... 7y
CommasAndAmpersands Omg floppy disks. 7y
Yabookgrl1981 You can still buy them???? 7y
infinitbr I have this book!! Got it from bookoutlet's last sale! Hopefully can read it soon (edited) 7y
KatieLMae Of course I still haven't read this! 7y
JenWindramReads Oh you should definitely give it a try @bookishwonderland !!! It took me until about page 50 to really get into it and then I couldn't put it down 😄 7y
JenWindramReads Haha I know right @CommasAndAmpersands 😂 7y
JenWindramReads Yes @Yabookgrl1981 !!! On Amazon of course 😂 7y
JenWindramReads You definitely should give it a try @infinitbr !!! I thought it was such a fun read 😄 7y

I have to say I'm really enjoying Litsy. Who would have thought people would be happier with a chronological feed 🙄😂. I will say though that I'm having a hard time keeping up with both bookstagram and Litsy. Anyone else having that problem??

Oh and aren't these covers gorgeous? 😍😍😍I'll be starting The Watchmaker of Filigree Street soon!

Librorian I'm enjoying litsy as well! 🙈 didn't even know about this until today 7y
forestofwords I also really enjoy it! Especially that I can add books directly to my reading list ☺️ 7y
the.reading.court I really like Litsy too but I think that two accounts might be too much to handle in the long run. Let's see how this turns out 😊 7y

Yabookgrl1981 I like it too and I haven't even posted anything but I can see every else's posts. And not three days afterwards either! Litsy for the win 👍 7y
biblionatic I'm not feeling it quite yet but I'm sure the pressure of two accounts will catch up soon... 7y
oasisgirlmd I can't wait to read these ones! Gorgeous pic as always Jen! And I think a new app always takes time getting used to, I'm hoping I'll get the hang of it 7y
Readingwiththeresa How does this work? I am so confused! Hahaha like I'm trying to post a photo but it's driving me crazy 😂 7y
MrBook Litsy has a way of sucking you in and not letting go 😂👏🏻. 7y
JenWindramReads That's great @Librorian !!! It's definitely gotten more fun in the last couple of days 😄 7y
JenWindramReads I think that might be my favorite feature. @forestofwords !! I have such a hard time keeping track of my tbr 😳 7y
JenWindramReads I totally understand @the.reading.court !! I'm already overwhelmed 😂 7y
JenWindramReads I'm starting to notice that @MrBook 😂 7y
JenWindramReads Haha yeah it's crazy how well it works when there isn't a stupid algorithm @Yabookgrl1981 🤷‍♀️ 7y
JenWindramReads Yeah it might get a little rough trying to keep up @biblionatic 😅 7y
JenWindramReads Thank you @oasisgirlmd !! And I totally agree. It's getting easier the more I use it 😄 7y

Hello everyone!! It's so exciting to see so many of my bookstagram friends pop up on here. I've used this app on and off but never really got too into it because all of the interaction was over on IG, but maybe that will change now 😄. How many of these books have you guys read? See any favorites? I've read 14 and I'd have to say TRC and Salt to the Sea are my faves 😄

the.reading.court With all the frustration over the changes IG has made, I'm sure more and more people will pop up here 😊 7y
LuniReads I can see 14 that I've read!😁 my faves would have to be six of crows, the unexpected everything and salt to the sea!❤️ 7y
TheBookNirvana From what I can see, I read 10 of these. I am loving this app! It is so much fun considering so many bookstagrammers ventured over! 7y

eattrainread I see 10 I have read (and more I still want to read haha). My faves are This Song Will Save Your Life, ACOTAR, Six of Crows ❤️ it seems a lot of people popped up here overnight and a lot are still to come 7y
Madamereadsalot I agree! I'm frustrated for many reasons with IG and though I still see some flaws in Litsy, I think it has great potential for us bookworms to be an even better plattform than IG 😁 7y
JenWindramReads Definitely @the.reading.court !!! It feels like every few minutes someone else is showing up 😄 7y
JenWindramReads I'm hoping to read TUE this summer @LuniReads !!! 7y
JenWindramReads It is pretty fun @TheBookNirvana !! I'm still trying to get used to it though 😄 7y
JenWindramReads Yes I feel tons of people are coming over @eattrainread !!! I've had This Song Will Save Your Life forever now and I still haven't read it 🙈 7y
adoredpages I see 9! 😁 Yes Litsy is a good alternative. Even though I don't really use it to show my pictures but to review books and find new ones.😊 7y
JenWindramReads Ugh IG is driving me nuts. I can barely stand to go through my feed when it keeps showing me pictures from days ago @Madamereadsalot 😠. We'll see how this goes!! 7y
eattrainread @JenWindramReads haha the same happened to me with the same book, then I read it (after it had been on my shelves for over a year) and ended up loving it! 7y
colourfulblackwhiteworld Heyyy 😘 That's so exciting here!! 7y
halainbookland I've read 10 books from what I could see hhh! 7y
Yabookgrl1981 I've read 9 of them which is actually shocking to me. My favorite is either TRC (because duh) or The Winner's Curse. I think that trilogy is so overlooked! 7y
DuskAngelReads I have read 5, the two The Raven Cycle books, An Ember in the Ashes, The Unexpected Everything and Rebel of the Sands! I love the Raven Cycle and Rebel of the Sands was my favourite read from last year! 😍😍 And I only got this app today and am really enjoying it. Instagram was just trying to add all these features that were necessary. Like the stories and filters and stuff are fun, but they need to concentrate of the real issues!! 😑 7y
Booksandpops Yikes I don't think I've read any! I'm clearly behind the times 😅 7y
MrBook You'd better stick around now 😂👏🏻. 7y
Alytrue Loved Eleanor & Park and the Grisha Trilogy. Several of my tbr are in that pile as well😂 7y
JenWindramReads 9 is good @adoredpages !! Yeah I feel like I'll eventually use Litsy in the same way - more for reviews and tracking my tbr 😄 7y
JenWindramReads 10 is awesome @halainbookland especially when it's hard to even tell what all of the books are 😂 7y
JenWindramReads TRC is everything @Yabookgrl1981 🙌. I still need read the rest of the The Winner's Curse books! 7y
JenWindramReads I love TRC @DuskAngelReads but I still need to read Rebel of the Sands. It's been on my tbr forever!! Yeah I think the IG algorithm is the worst. It's made me so frustrated 😒 7y
JenWindramReads Haha that happens to me with other people's pics all the time @Booksandpops !! They'll have like 20 books in a pic and I haven't read ANY of them 😳 7y
JenWindramReads Haha I just might @MrBook !!! It's been really fun so far 😄 7y
JenWindramReads I still need to read Grisha @Alytrue !! I don't know what I'm waiting for 🙄 7y
DuskAngelReads Well a lot of people were complaining about seeing posts from a days ago and not recent. I saw that on my main Insta but on my bookstagram it was always in order. So yeah I don't know what's going. It's all just stupid. 7y
halainbookland @JenWindramReads Haha exactly! Thank you! 7y

Okay so I ended up really liking this book! I know some people can't get into it and find the family annoying but I thought the characterization was great. I felt like I really got to know these people, and even better I felt like I was was off in Spain with them! Maybe listening to it on audio helped 🤔.

Mehso-so

This book had so many unique things going for it, but then about halfway through I found myself losing interest. I think it was because it became more about the love story and not the other really cool things that were happening. I've come to realize that I just don't like much romance in my fantasy books. The writing was lovely though. Now I just have to decide if I'm going to read the next one?????

TbrandBeyond Beautiful photo. Sorry the book wasn't great though 😞 7y
JenWindramReads Yeah it was okay @NovelDescent but I was really hoping to love the book because I'd heard so many great things about it. And thank you!! 😊 7y

Just finished rereading this book and I'm so glad I did. The friendships, mood, and atmosphere are just brilliant. Now I just wish I were in Henrietta hunting ley lines with the gang. I love my Raven Boys!

TbrandBeyond Reading this book for the first time 😀Loving it ❤️ 7y
JenWindramReads Oh I'm so glad you're loving it @NovelDescent !!! It's one of my favs ❤️❤️❤️ but it seems people either really love it or really hate it. 7y

I'm loving how varied the stories are in this! I had no idea some of them would be fantasy. I guess that's what happens when you judge a book by its cover!
