You know when you're sick and nothing feels like a good read. I have started and stopped 3 books the last few days. 13 books loaded on my Litsy right now. I wanted a cozy read but now I'm not sure.

Suet624 I‘m sorry. It‘s tough when that happens. 11mo

Aimeesue Hope you‘re feeling better soon 11mo

AnnCrystal 💕Rest. May you feel better soon 🙏. Do you have any graphic novels? When I'm under the weather, they're really the only type of story I can focus on. Not sure if it will work for you, just wanted to share. 11mo

LOOKING FOR RECOMMENDATIONS. It‘s literally been years since I‘ve posted anything, but I‘m home sick and looking for something to binge read. Here are some in my TBR, but I also have a kindle and an Overdrive account so open to any and all suggestions.

LiteraryinPA Hi again! Of the ones pictured I‘m a big fan of The Little Prince. But overall one of my favorite books of the last couple years was The House in the Cerulean Sea! 3y

Amiable That Wally Lamb book is one of my all-time favorites! I‘ve read it multiple times. It‘s so good. And the Henrietta Lacks book is phenomenal if you are in the mood for NF. 3y

DivineDiana I recommend Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows. Much better than that title! #strongwomen Feel better! (edited) 3y

See All 6 Comments

Alfoster @Amiable I agree with you;love Wally Lamb books and this one was awesome!❤️👊 3y

BookNerd9906 @LiteraryinLawrence @Amiable @Alfoster thank you so much for your input. The Little Prince is short so I powered through that, and now I‘m tackling the Wally Lamb chunkster. I‘ll have no shortage of binge reading while home sick. 3y

BookNerd9906 @DivineDiana thanks for the recommendation it‘s next on my TBR 3y

So I‘m trying a new kind of #TBR for my #MarchTBR

I‘m letting myself mood read, while trying to make a good dent into my physical unread bookshelves. Yes all of those books are unread…
If a book is over 500 pages I can count it as two books. 😁

I‘m still in a slump and cannot decide on anything!! If there are any good fantasy, historical, romance, YA, or any combination of those on Kindle unlimited (or any platform for that matter) that you‘d recommend, please let me know! I am desperate for something engaging from the first chapter 😬

"Bring out your read!"

What was the best book you read in 2019? In an effort to shake things up and read outside of my usual, I'd like to make a list of Littens' favourite reads of 2019, and each month of 2020 I'll choose one book from the list to read. So spam my comments with your recommendations! Thanks!

(If you want to join me, let me know and I'll send you the list when I've got it together ?)

BookNAround I have several favorites I read last year but I‘ll suggest Vacationland by Sarah Stonich. 5y

TheBookHippie You want me top 19 of 2019 🤣🤣🤣 5y

Jeshara This was the best book that I read in 2019, but it's been out for a few years so I'm sorry if you've already read it!

I‘m terrible with sticking with #tbr lists for the month. The closest I can come to a true #OctoberTBR is the hope to finish up at least some of the books that I have been reading for at least a month. They‘re all great books, but I‘m also getting distracted by other shiny books.

It‘s my hope to also include some mysteries and thrillers and other books that won‘t give me nightmares - totally #TeamSqueamish ! #FallIsBooked

OriginalCyn620, Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

MallenNC I so relate to not sticking to a TBR and being distracted by shiny new books! 5y

Guys, i need some Audiobook help. Today is the anniversary marking my Dad‘s unexplainable death 9 years ago. Even with it being 9 years, this day still carries a lot of hard memories.💔 I have been stuck in a reading rut the past couple weeks, & need good Audiobook recommendations- preferably on SCRIBD so I don‘t have to pay. Nothing sad or horror is all I ask.

MrBook ? *biiiiiig hug* I almost cried reading this ?. Maybe the funniest audiobook @BookBabe & I have read is "The Rosie Project". "The Martian" is excellent. "Ready Player One" as well. 7y

CouronneDhiver If you haven‘t read it already, ‘Born A Crime‘ is quite good! 7y

This is my best attempt at a perplexed selfie. And no, I won't show you my camera roll. 😂😂😂 BUT - ironically, given that today is #lovetolisten day for #17booklove, I don't have an audiobook going at the moment, and I'm gonna go for a walk in about an hour. Quick! Send me the two best audiobooks you've listened to lately! Bonus points for light memoirs or fiction. I can't handle heavy right now. Thanks!!

Krisjericho I love memoirs, and I enjoyed Mara Wilson's recently. Scrappy Little Nobody and Year of Yes were good, too. Oh, and Amanda Palmer's book. That's just the ones I've listened to this year. 😂 8y

Marla I love the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones. I'm all caught up with the series and I'm depressed I have to wait to have the characters in the car with me. 8y

tjwill I'm listening to Anna Kendrick's Scrappy Little Nobody now. Super light and fun. Recently, I loved Trevor Noah's Born a Crime. Not as light, but so fantastic. As far as novels go, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline was a great audiobook, narrated by Wil Wheaton 8y

howjessicareads @Marla I just requested the first one!! Thanks! 8y

Lmstraubie Love this picture! 😁 I'm a little late, but I second Born a Crime. Also, if you were a fan of Gilmore Girls I recommend Talking as Fast as I Can. 8y

howjessicareads @Oryx Ooh, I read that years and years ago. A reread (listen) is a great idea! 8y

howjessicareads @Lmstraubie I never did watch Gilmore Girls, so I was wondering if I'd like that one... 8y

Lmstraubie I definitely think it helps to know the show. I never watched Lauren Graham in any of her other shows, but her personality is similar to Loralie Gilmore. 8y

Megabooks 👍🏻👍🏻

Littens help! What book do I bring with to read next for the thanksgiving holiday? Im in the mood for the kind of book that draws you in completely and won't let go until you finish. Something beautiful and enchanting. I'm nearly done rereading the book I'm sending for #secretsantagoespostal #wintersolsticebookexchange so I can get lots of ideas for what to send with it (and I have some great ones so far!), but can't decide what to read next.

bookishkai I couldn't put The Witches Daughter down, if that helps. 8y

Lindy Stardust fits your description. 8y

CareBear Wow this is a great stack! I would vote either of the Neil Gaiman books or Ready Player One. 8y

Ready Player One: A Novel

SusanInTiburon I second Stardust. 8y

EmilyAnne I read ready player one in a day, handed it straight to my sister and she finished it in a day. If that helps 😬 8y

DivineDiana I also devoured Ready Player One, but I wouldn't call it beautiful. ?More like "electric fun ride" with undercurrents of social justice. 8y

Lacythebookworm I vote

The Wonder

TheBookAddict They all look good and are on my TBR list, but I'm currently reading American Gods and it's good. It's weird, but good. So I vote for American Gods. 8y

Yournewfriendsams I gotta vote Ready Player One. I read it in one day. 8y

moranadatter Adding to the Stardust love. 8y

DivineDiana Not sure what you decided, but Ready Player One was a fun read. As a bonus, it expanded my views on public education. 8y

MeganAnn Thanks for your help everyone! I finally got a chance to get to my next book and decided on Ready Player One thanks to your comments. I devoured it! @bookishkris @Lindy @SusanInTiburon @CareBear @BookishTrish @EmilyAnne @DivineDiana @Lacythebookworm @TheBookAddict @Yournewfriendsams @kmdartist 😄 next up is Stardust as the second most popular choice! ☄ 8y

I need your help Littens! In a month me and my boyfriend are going on a holiday. We only take carry-on luggage so we can take only one book each. My boyfriend is not a big reader so I need some recommendations, his taste in books is very limited. He likes Tolkien, A Song of Ice and Fire and read some of Robin Hobbs books. So fantasy and historical fiction. Curious to see what you guys come up with!

tricours Try Rothfuss?

The Name of the Wind: The Kingkiller Chronicle: Day One

tricours Or

Blade Itself. Joe Abercrombie (Revised)

Hawk Quest

I-read-and-eat @tricours We have Rothfuss on the shelfs, so far he hasn't picked it up, maybe I need to push that one more 😉 Blade Itself seems like something he would read, thanks! @NovelGirl82 Sadly he does not like Paolini, I however loved that series. He is so strangely picky, very hard to find something he likes. @LeahBergen That sounds like a book he might read. Thanks for the recommendation! 8y

bookishnerd Has be read Brandon Sanderson? His books are worth checking out! 8y

NovelGirl82 Sanderson would definitely be worth checking out! 8y

tricours I would at least de-recommend Sanderson's Elantris, I couldn't even finish it! 8y

Tsubame A friend of mine loves the books from Diana Gabaldon! I was surprised that he's so much into them x) He is a history nerd and says that her books are incredibly well researched and likes he style a lot. So maybe as another guy your boyfriend might like her books too? ^^ 8y

I-read-and-eat @bookishnerd @NovelGirl82 Never heard of him but I looked up the books and they sound good! @tricours Curious about what you didn't like about it, was is the style? @Tsubame I'll have him check then out. He loves history! Thanks all for the great recommendations I have him take a look at them and hope he likes it. But I am pretty sure I'll buy most for myself anyway 😁 8y

tricours Are you on Goodreads? My review of it sums up all my dislikes, but it's too long to post here! https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1267160598 8y

I-read-and-eat @tricours I'll check that out! 8y
