Repost for @JenlovesJT47

I just got a huge stack of graphic novels from the library so I decided to host a mini readathon starting tomorrow through Sunday. You can read one graphic novel or 20, it‘s up to you! Just use the #GNreadathon tag and tackle your TBR pile at your own pace. 🤓

Mimi28 Sorry couldn‘t find volume 1 in the Litsy database. She is basically an awesome plus- sized super hero, lol. 1y
Clwojick Ahhhhh! Okay okay okay! Let‘s start off with one I haven‘t even started yet but I‘ll be digging into tomorrow and the artwork has me SWOONING (edited) 1y
Clwojick Just started Brynmore, and I‘m intrigued but it only has two issues out. 1y
Clwojick Sheets and 1y
Clwojick Rat Queens! 1y
Clwojick Definitely look them up, because my taste is all over the place with graphic novels and comics. Some are dark and gory, some are cute and sweet. 1y
DinoMom @wanderinglynn my taste varies , I like many genres so open to any suggestions 1y
DinoMom @Clwojick my tastes are also very all over the places. Some of your recommendations I have read , but many I have not. So thanks for all the choices. 1y
DinoMom @Mimi28 I am definitely going to check out Faith!! 1y
DinoMom @Clwojick also I just discovered Rat queens and order it last week, so hoping it‘s here soon . 1y
DinoMom @Clwojick Lore Olympus art is beautiful. I have read the first 2 already … need to get the next 1y

Super last minute post, but GNs have saved me from a full on slump this month, so I decided I was long overdue for a GN/comic themed Readathon.

If comics, manga or graphic novels are your jam, please join me a week long #LetsGetGraphic readathon! I‘d love to see what your favourites are, catch up on some old favs, as well as find some new gems! Off to write up a TBR! ☺️

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Ooh! I‘m in! Currently reading : 1y
booklover3258 As you know I'm in too! I'll be reading Sandman Vol. 10 The Wake by Neil Gaiman, The Moth Keeper by Katie O'Neill and Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur Vol. 4 Girl-Moon by Brandon Montclare 1y

Let‘s start this years countdown with some top lists. I can never do top tens so I have 12s and a 15 for you today 😂😂. These are my top graphic novels read this year. I‘ll probably squeeze two more in today so hopefully they won‘t be amazing or this will get fixed later 😅😅😅.

Hey all,

I still need 2 people in two different groups to complete my #LMPBC #Round10 table.

Group A is all about graphic novels. Any type any kind (yes Manga is included).

Group B is about Kids graphic novels (amazing things are happening in this format now adays).

And if non of that interest you there are other categories still open and some blank ones as well.

https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080444aead2ca0ff2-litsy10

Thanks @Suvata

Gissy I don't know how it works. I can be interested in graphic novels and mangas 4y
LibrarianRyan @Gissy there are 4 people in a group. We would each pick a graphic novel. We have one month to read it, makes notes annotate, etc. for GN we usually use post it‘s and don‘t write in the books but some do. It‘s up to the owner. When you are done you mail it to the next person on the list. It goes in a circle and in 4 Mths u get ur book back with all sorts of notes. 4 books in 4 months. 4y
bibliobard I wasn‘t feeling graphic novels on its own — but if you still have slots later in the month let me know. 4y

I have fallen way behind in my Goodreads goal this year. While I purposely set it a lot higher than usual I won't be to upset if I don't reach it. I still feel it is possible for me to meet it, especially with the amount of graphic novels that just showed up for me at the library (with still more on the way).

So has anyone ever heard of this happening before? I mailed out my package for the #geekygraphicnovelswap on Friday. Everything was wrapped in wrapping paper. I packed the box myself. My match got the box yesterday and saw metal things sticking out, so I told her to open it and this was all that was in the box. Who would do such a thing?! I'm very upset, not sure how to go about fixing this. 😤😡😤😓😡😓😤💩💩💩💩💩

laurieluna I saw an article about thia happening in the UK! Woman ordered a nintendo switch off Amazon. When she opened it it was a large box of washing powder and the bottom of the box had been cut open and resealed. Its terrible. Companies take on so many extra staff at the time of year I doubt they look up references. 7y
Kaye That is weird. What are those things ? The lady at our PO sent a huge box of Valentine candy to her nieces last year. Someone along the way opened the box and ate it all. All they got was the empty heart-box with candy wrappers. 7y

JenlovesJT47 @MinDea yes it was a priority box, have to go to the post office today anyway so I'm going to try to figure this out. I actually took a picture before I wrapped everything of everything I put in the box. I'm so mad! 😤 7y
MommyOfTwo 😮 horrible! 7y
JenlovesJT47 @Mdargusch me neither! I would think it would be less likely to happen to a box that's insured. I sent my secret Santa swap on the same day via media mail and it got there before this one did. I don't get it☹️ 7y

JenlovesJT47 @Betty something for a car I think, or something like that. 7y
JenlovesJT47 @Jas16 that really sucks! Guess I will be making sure I always get insurance on my packages from now on! 7y
JenlovesJT47 @MommyOfTwo @jfalkens it is terrible, I'm slowly calming down now though, lol. I'm just sad because I was so excited for my match to open her stuff! 😞 7y
jfalkens @JenlovesJT47 I bet, hopefully it'll get resolved soon and the post office will make it right 7y
kamoorephoto That‘s a pile of 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 only with no faces. I‘d be furious and sad too. What a jerk thing to do!!!! Omg. I‘m so sorry. 7y
aprilpohren That is horrible!! :( 7y
jpmcwisemorgan This is terrible!!! I hope you can get something sorted out with the post office. 7y
CouronneDhiver Seriously?! 🙁 That‘s terrible... what kind of person does that?! 7y
megt That‘s so awful! I hope the post office handles this swiftly! 7y
MiyakoBunny This is outrageous 😡😡😡! I cannot stand thieves I feel deeply for you and your match 😢. Would you mind if I offered to help replace some of the items stolen? I don‘t want to cross any boundaries so if you feel that it is please don‘t hesitate to let me know 🤗but I‘d love to help you both. These thieves shouldn‘t be allowed to steal your joy too *hugs*🌺 7y
Betty Dumb thief. Ever think of fingerprints? Should've kept the whole box. 7y
CatLass007 Express mail boxes are insured. You can claim this with the post office 7y
JenlovesJT47 @MiyakoBunny thank you so much for offering! I'm going to the post office today to see what they say, then I'll go from there. That's so sweet of you to offer! 🤗❤️ 7y
JenlovesJT47 @CatLass007 that's what I thought, hope I can get it straightened out today at the post office! 7y
MiyakoBunny It‘s no problem honestly ❤️ you both didn‘t deserve this horrendous act. I hope it goes well at the P.O 🤗🙏🏼!🌼🌼🌼 7y
Zelma That is so terrible! I am so so sorry to you and your match. 🤬 7y
TricksyTails @Kaye That's so messed up! 7y
TricksyTails I'm so sorry this happened. I hope they make it right. I know you wanted to make it really special for her. Ugh. Arseholes. 7y
Kaye @JenlovesJT47 Give me a holler. I‘ll chip in too, to help replace something for your partner. It‘s not fair you have to buy it all again or your partner gets nothing. 7y
Scurvygirl 😿💚💚 7y
TheLibrarian Seriously...what kind of people do this?? 😡 7y
JenlovesJT47 @Kaye thank you so much for offering! I'm really hoping I can get this straightened out at the post office today. Wish me luck! 7y
AmyG My daughter had something similar happen to her. She got an empty envelope...everything in it taken. Some people in this world are horrible. If you need any help with regifting let me know. 7y
OrangeMooseReads That is awful! People are terrible. 7y
the-flashley This happened to my brother once, as well. Unfortunately a lot of times it‘s the usps employees themselves. 🙄 I‘m sorry this happened to you and I hope you can get at least some of your money back! 7y
cathysaid What @CatLass007 said. I mailed mine a few days ago and there was automatic insurance. $50 I think? Also make sure you report it to the postmaster general. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘m so sorry. Makes me wonder about humans. 7y
emilyhaldi That is bizarre!! And terrible. I'm sure you put a lot of thought into your gift so that is extremely frustrating 😩 7y
eanderson This is heartbreaking that someone would actually do this... I can't believe they didn't just keep the box. It's terrible! It really makes me wonder what type of world we are living in and how much worse it could get. I hope you get some answers! I'm so sorry this happened! 7y
JenlovesJT47 Also, thank you to all of you sweethearts who offered to help replace the items, that is so sweet and thoughtful. I'm heading to the post office in the morning, wish me luck! Love you all! ❤️🤗❤️#ilovelitsy 7y
jfalkens @JenlovesJT47 good luck and let us know what the post office says 🤞xxxxxx 7y
MinDea Hey. What happened with this? Did they replace everything with no issues or are you still fighting with them? 7y
JenlovesJT47 @MinDea I have to go online and open a claim. The lady at the post office was nice. She said it was probably airport workers who did it. 😡she also told me to have cobwebmoth take the box she got to her post office. So I dunno what's going to happen. 😌 7y
MinDea Airport workers. Interesting. That is so crazy! 7y

Look what I got!!! I actually got it yesterday. Super excited!!! Thanks so much @Kalalalatja!!! I‘m still waiting on something to arrive before I send out the package to my match. I hope she‘s not worrying. It will get there on time. I promise! 📚 #geekygraphicnovelswap @JenlovesJT47

JenlovesJT47 Yay! 🙌🏻 7y
Kalalalatja Phew! I were beginning to worry, because some other stuff I had sent to the States at the same time as yours arrived last week. But I'm so glad it got to you safely! 👏😄 7y
ReadingRover @Kalalalatja no worries! I‘m so psyched to open it! 7y
