My March #BookSpinBingo list! Lots of buddy read titles, and I‘m hoping to get to my reread of the Jane Austen mystery series.
#NotBookRelated , but I am so over 2025, not only globally but in my own little world. Zeke had a setback of sorts, so I‘m waiting for next care instructions, and beginning last night, Xander has been ill. It was so abrupt! We have a visit soon to the vet. He‘s also not taken his full dose of heart meds, so I‘m worried.
A terrible picture but my #bookspinbingo list for March @TheAromaofBooks
Time flies when you have fun! And even when you don‘t have fun 🤷♀️ Yes we are 5 days until March❣️
Please join us for our March photo challenge: #CoverStories 🥳🤗. Thank you to everyone who played in February 🙏🏻. Cheers 🥂

April is National Poetry Month so #QueerBC is going to celebrate queer poets and poems
You can suggest 3 individual poems. These can be by queer authors or about queer experiences
Then suggest 1 poet and people can read anything they‘ve written
At the end we‘ll vote on which poet to read and then have a top 3 list of poems … maybe, not figured that out
Suggest here - https://forms.gle/W4AWJwPSr5qaJiJa9
I'll keep it open until March 23rd
Vote for April #QueerBC
Sorry, everything is going up early because I‘ve got my ADHD assessment this weekend and family in hospital and I just want it done so I don‘t have to think about it. I get things done early rather than late!

My March rolls for #Roll100
I'm going to focus on Natural Twenty and How Not to Get Eaten by an Owlbear. The other one sounds a bit heavy
Bettina Makalintal shares 5 titles in the food world she‘s looking forward to this spring!

I‘ve finally set up my new bookshelf 🙌 Still moving in, but we allllll know that‘s a work in progress forever 🤪 I had to laugh when my husband said, “Well, just make sure this room doesn‘t get too cluttered” and I replied, “Oh, we passed that about 50 books ago” 🤣
No big words today (Germany is voting for a new government and you know...). So here's my #BookSpinBingo for March.
Happy moving @TheAromaofBooks
I might as well post that now, since I'm not going to finish any of the other books. But I managed one #BookSpinBingo anyway, yay!
@TheAromaofBooks
A debut YA novel written by a friend of someone I know. Interesting concept based around 2 school friends, Claire & Suzannah, who work in a cafe in Launceston, Tasmania. Claire meets Jerome who is immortal however he loses his memory whenever he falls asleep & therefore stays awake for days on end. He inevitably disappears one day leaving Claire. Suzannah heads to Melbourne and as subtitled the novel becomes a ‘love letter to two cities‘.
As commented on @dabbe a few minutes ago:
While I'm good with variety posts, I'm rather new here on Litsy and only know the Litsy as it has been since my joining this magical community.
I find Litsy a safe place, a gathering place that serves a community of members like a mom and pop bookstore. We recognize one another if we visit often. We learn about one another, celebrate each other, offer emotional support, etc.

Going to work on downloading my kindle content to my computer and no longer purchase kindle books. What a pain! However far I get I will still have plenty to compile a list of 20 for this challenge for the foreseeable future. 😬😂

This third novelette in the series ties things up, but leaves the ends out. I don‘t think there needs to be another book, but I know I‘ll think about this family and wonder what they‘re doing and know that they‘re happy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks to these Litsy folks for today‘s prompt:

#StartASpark
Hello Littens. This is the official start to a new adventure on here. I am starting the Hashtag #StartASpark to hopefully help myself and others figure out what to read. I will try to post anything and everything book related such as prompts, quizzes, actual books, articles, etc. Anything I can get my hands on to help. I love to help a fellow book lover out when I can. ⬇
#NationalLoveYourPetDay Really? I love them everyday ! Tom Tom , currently the oldest gentleman cat !
Hey there Littens. I have been thinking i need to be back on here more. I only post maybe once or twice a month. Also want to be able to help some of u if u are in a slump or dont know what to read. I know I already do #BookishMonopoly, but thought I could do some type of weekly prompt or something to spark a fuse to inspire someone to pick up a book. Would that be something u guys would want?? What day would be good to post?? What Hashtag??
You have until February 26 to download copies of your kindle books, after that Amazon will remove the ability to download books to files you can control yourself,Bezoes has already
deleted some banned books, also some digital books are being edited even on books that have been purchased, what does this mean for the future of ebooks when books can be changed on a whim I would worry history could be written differently! This is sickening 🤬

National Poetry Month is April in the USA and October in the UK
I wanted to do an extra poetry focused thing for #QueerBC. I could do 2 but I'm also concerned that October often has #Scarathlon and other reading challenges. It could be a bit much!
So, April, October, or both?
