Welcome to Litsy!

@TheSpineView

🐶 Oh yes, several times over the years (I used to borrow them from the library when compact discs were still a thing)

🐶 If I'm in the right mood, I listen to classical or instrumental music but 90% of the time silence is truly golden!! (Especially since I have a toddler and need the peace and quiet)

Thanks for the tag, @Kshakal ❤️

1) I‘ve always loved reading. My mom instilled it in me very early on.

2) Harry Potter (the obvious answer), Caraval, Stalking Jack the Ripper, Truly Devious, Stephanie Plum. I think that‘s it 😂

I tag anyone who hasn‘t done it yet!

1. Pretty much anytime. I find I read more at work most days. Likely as a distraction from working. 😂
2. No. I‘ve been trying to get in the habit of reading for 20 minutes as soon as I get home from work as that time quickly gets bogged down by chores and TV.

Thanks for the tag @Megabooks !

1. I read whenever I can but, probably unlike most Littens, I never read in bed - it keeps me awake! I read most often on my morning and evening commute and then in the evening before bed.

2. Depends where I am - if there‘s someone wittering on the train then I put headphones in with music. If I‘m at home then I nearly always sit under a blanket - even if it‘s warm.

Happy #Two4Tuesday To play, just repost with your answers and tag me @TheSpineView and use #Two4Tuesday

My answers:

1️⃣ Evenings are my favorite when the day wind downs and I am less likely to be interrupted.
2️⃣ Yes. Make a cup of coffee or tea. Get my favorite pillow just right and a blanket in cold weather. Prep work is important to an enhanced reading experience!

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1. My favorite part-time job was sorting and shelving library books.

2. I go back to work tomorrow to start my 20th year in the schools. After all this time, I‘m still surprised I ended up working with children.

🌳 I shelve books alpha by title. I may forget author name, but will usually remember title. I also have shelves just for tbr

🌳 Convening with other book lovers helps me tolerate the stupidities/stress of the workplace (💗Litsy💗)

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

🐈 I hate how my library is sorted. As it's ebooks, it makes it difficult and twice as long to figure out what genre the book should go in (over 1000 books don't help). I've gotten them to top level genres, but it's still too chaotic for me.

🐈 I just moved 18 months ago to live with my parents, and I'm still trying to get acclimated. Never easy moving back as an adult, even with a valid reason.

Swap packages went out today for #MakerSwap and #SummerSwap2019 and are expected to arrive Thursday! I don't like to send out this late but was waiting on some last minute items that alas still did not come hmpf! Please let me know when they arrive @Laurenslibrary @Cobwebmoth @LibrarianRyan

1. 36* F (but it feels a lot colder rn ❄️? #dcclimate)
2. Seanan McGuire because I know said vacation would be so very action packed. I‘d probably die during it but it would be so worth it to be with Seanan for the duration. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
3. Crosswords all day every day.

#tuesdaytidbits

1.) Yes! I have several book apps on my phone plus my paperwhite fits perfectly in my purse. On the rare occasion I have a physical book I pack it too 🤓
2.) Yes I use Libby & Hoopla as well as a couple of my local libraries 📚
3.) Yes they are my favorite!

#SassyBookworm😏 #TuesdayTidbits

1. No, unless I'm going somewhere that I know will have a wait time.
2. Yes, but not very often as I want to grow my personal library so I buy lots of books.
3. Yes, but I prefer physical books.

#tuesdaytidbits @SilversReviews

1. Yep. Thank goodness for the Kindle app on my phone.
2. Yep. More than half of the books I read are from the library.
3. Yep. I have an extensive ebook collection and borrow ebooks from the library. About a quarter of the books I read are ebooks.

#TuesdayTidbits

1) Sometimes, but if I don't bring one, I always have books in my vehicle and audiobooks on my phone.
2) Yes, not very often, but occasionally.
3) Absolutely!
@SilversReviews #TuesdayTidbits

1. Generally, yes. Currently have Beartown in my handbag. Technically I have the kindle app on my phone but I don‘t count that because I don‘t really like ebooks that much.
2. Yes! I visit about once per week.
3. No, see above.
#tuesdaytidbits @SilversReviews

#tuesdaytidbits @SilversReviews

1. Since the kindle app came out for smart phones, I have never been without a book!

2. Yes! I check physical books out occasionally, but I use Libby/Overdrive and Hoopla all the time.

3. I think my first two answers have it away, but while I love physical books, I prefer the convenience of e-books most of the time.

#tuesdaytidbits @SilversReviews

1. Almost always
2. Yes for audiobooks
3. No

1. Always, and usually multiples. When shopping for handbags it is not at all uncommon for me to gauge the dimensions to make sure it can accommodate, at minimum, a graphic novel, a large hardcover, and a kindle.
2. Yes. About half of my reads are library books.
3. Yes, but if I love a book I usually like to own it in print.

Great questions, @SilversReviews! #TuesdayTidbits

1. I try to. I never leave the house without a book.
2. Yes.
3. Sometimes. I prefer actual books though.
