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.

Librarybelle Creating my book spin list has served as a good distraction! 6h
dabbe Oh, the poor Zekemeister and Xandermeister! Sending 🤗🤗🤗 and hoping for a good report from the vet. 🖤🐾🐾🖤 6h
TheBookHippie Oh noooooo. Sending you so much light!!! 6h

Librarybelle Thank you, @dabbe and @TheBookHippie ! I really appreciate it! ❤️ 6h
PurpleyPumpkin Aww I‘m sorry to hear that your fur babies are having a rough time. Hope they feel better soon. 💜 5h
Mollyanna Oh no! I am so sorry to hear this. I hope they get well soon. Sending healing thoughts to you and Zeke and Xander 💕 4h
Librarybelle Thank you so much, @PurpleyPumpkin and @Mollyanna ! I‘ve got a new food sensitivity diet food for Zeke, and Xander was checked to make sure he is not in heart failure (he‘s not, just living with his usual heart issues). Let‘s hope everyone now bounces back. @dabbe @TheBookHippie 3h
TheBookHippie @Librarybelle Oh I hope it gets better… 3h
Librarybelle Me too, @TheBookHippie . I almost cried when the x-rays came back tonight that Xander was not going into heart failure. Not sure what happened, but at least it was not life threatening. Zeke, the picky eater, will have to learn to eat special food to keep his tummy happy—such a boy! ❤️ 2h
TheBookHippie @Librarybelle Miss Winifred has now lived past her lifespan -so I get it, she has so much anxiety and separation anxiety from me it‘s difficult. She‘s so stubborn she‘ll hold her breath or upset herself so much she can‘t breathe. But all her tests are fine!! 😵‍💫🤦🏻‍♀️ I thought she was sick. Nope. Stubborn. 😫 2h
Librarybelle @TheBookHippie I had to give Sebastian calming supplements because his separation anxiety was through the roof. He was abandoned by his first family and left to live on the streets in my tiny town. I think he was the happiest of all of the cats when I transitioned to a work from home lifestyle. Pets are our family! 2h
TheBookHippie @Librarybelle I have permission to take her to read with the kids I still read with- she is really good with them. Thankfully I‘m on sabbatical this year… she can‘t be left alone ever so it‘s tricky. I‘m glad you get to be home now. It‘s so less stressful. 2h
Librarybelle It‘s good you can be with her too, @TheBookHippie ! 2h
dabbe @Librarybelle @TheBookHippie Love and light to you both and to your precious babies. They are our solace. You're both such good mammas! 🖤🐾🐾🐾🖤 2h
Librarybelle @dabbe ❤️❤️❤️ 2h
Julsmarshall Sending love and healing vibes. So glad you get to be home with them. They bring so much joy to us, don‘t they? now

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

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.

👇

AnnCrystal Also, as a community of readers, teachers, and creatives, I believe it is important for us to keep each other informed in our crazy world. We are the ones the suppressors try to silence out in the real world.

Please know that Litsy has become a home on the world wide web. Thank all Littens who make this place absolutely wonderful 🫂📚💝.
(edited) 2d
AnnCrystal Now, that being made perfectly clear, the last thing I want to do is annoy anyone here ✌️📚💝.

Therefore, for all future posts that do not relate to books, stories, writings, writers, or authors in some way will include the hashtag #unrelated2books...I hope this helps 😉👌💝.

As @dabbe offered with her hashtag, please feel free to use any of my created hashtags if needed, or put your own spin on them ☺️👍💝.

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii
1. Spent the past weekend with family in IA and got to hang out with my cat sister, Millie
2. Finished 1 amazing book (‘Tartufo‘) and started another great book (‘Marble Hall Murders‘)
3. Warm weather is on its way (highs in the 30s - 40s F)
4. Went to bar trivia with my hubby 2 times this week and we didn‘t come in last both nights
👇👇👇👇

Aims42 5. The joy (okay, more like spitefulness) of learning that those who voted for Mango Mussolini are now saying, “I didn‘t vote for this!”

Consider yourself tagged if you‘d like to share!

KadaGul @Aims42 LOL 😆 on Mango 🥭 Mussolino 🤣🤣. In Chicago, it gets chilly pretty quickly, so we crank up the heaters, and Ceto loves curling up on her favorite vents (multiple, not just one) for many naps.

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. ⬇

AkashaVampie I dont know how many posts i will do each day but i will at least have one posted. Feel free to let me know any suggestions of things I should post. I look forward to this new journey. 4d

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??

ElizaMarie I always like engagement! Honestly I didn‘t end up doing the Monopoly board - but I love reading your posts :) 4d

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?

TheBookHippie Do both we‘ll need it… 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ 5d
willaful I say go ahead and do both, no one has to do both unless they feel like it. 5d

lil1inblue Both! I love poetry. 😍 5d
PuddleJumper @willaful That's true 5d
BookmarkTavern Both! I‘m sure somewhere there‘s queer spooky poetry collections! 5d
Butterfinger I'm good for both. 5d
Kenyazero Yep, both works! 5d
Jari-chan Absolutely! 5d
Zuhkeeyah Both would be fun 5d
flying_monkeys Both, and even more fun if, for October, there is Halloween-themed poetry, like BookmarkTavern said. (edited) 5d
PuddleJumper @flying_monkeys I hadn't thought of that! You're right 5d
AbigailJaneBlog I like both 💜 4d
