Welcome to Litsy!

My February #bookspinbingo. This morning, I started both The Frozen River and The Third Gilmore Girl as my audiobook. Let‘s go! ❤️📚

My Feb book spin list is a little different this time around since all my books are wrapped in brown paper and numbered… so I‘m just going to go with books 1-25 😂 I have about 230 wrapped TBR books and I‘m supposed to be on a book buying ban until I get through them all… but don‘t tell my kindle unlimited subscription 🤫 #bookspin #bookspinbingo

Here‘s my #bookspinlist for February!

I still have one more day to finish my January books. I don‘t see a bingo happening though. I think I‘ll finish 7 books (I‘m so close to finishing that 7th book), which is a fantastic reading month for me! But….they didn‘t line up for a bingo. 🤷‍♀️❤️📚

#bookspinbingo February picks a very long and very untidy TBR February Bookspin bingo list ! Edited and re edited I will tidy it up 😆thank you @TheAromaofBooks love our monthly bingo lists really helps to reduce the TBR pile 😆just throws a spanner 🔧 in the works when your bag of library books 📚 is due back plus you have 100s of your own ! Trying to stick to romance ❤️‍🔥 genre for feb happy 😊 reading all

February #bookspin list is ready! I finished both my #bookspin and #doublespin books in January, which i think it a first for me! And I only need one more book to get a #bookspin bingo. Here‘s hoping i can do the same in February! As before, several are just categories or challenge titles, not actual book titles, since I need the flexibility for mood reading.

Well, unbelievably there is only one week left in January, which means it's time for 2025's first mini-existential crisis!! 😂 It also happens to be time to get together your lists if you are planning to #BookSpin in February!!!

Thank you all for the well-wishes on the new house!! We are under contract and things seem to be moving smoothly so we are hoping to close by the end of February!! We've been here 10yrs so even though this move is only⬇

In today‘s installment of catching up my 2023 wrap ups, we find that completion was not a top priority in February. I remember reading quite a bit but only finishing a handful. I think Joyland for #LosersClub probably my favorite of the month, but I enjoyed Spare as well. Not sure if enjoy is the right word but fascinating nonetheless. #BookSpinBingo

#lgbtqNonfiction #pridebookrec
This week of pride I want to highlight some nonfiction reads that are awesome. Starting with this little known history of many famous artists who all lived together in a falling down house in Brooklyn. I didn't realize Carson McCullers was queer before this and overall this house felt like a wildly good time.

Thanks for posting @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick

1.) February House: The Story of W.H. Auden, Carson McCullers, Jane and Paul Bowles, Benjamin Britten, and Gypsy Rose Lee, Under One Roof in Wartime America -- It has been 15+ years since I first read this, and it is still one of my favorites & most recommended. So. Much. Fun!

2.) Memoir and I would say Augusten Burroughs

3.) bell hooks

I read 12 books in February, well one of them, When No One Was Watching, was finished on March 1st, (last chapter), but I counted it in February‘s stats bc most of the book was read In Feb😜I really enjoyed my readings, including the so-so & Pan one, they were books I wanted to read, they were in my tbr. No reading rejects here🤗Not always books turn in what we expected but we need to discover that by ourselves.Love the covers. No Bingo it‘s ok👍

Okay! So I actually kept track of the time read: 30:25:26 !! I finished 4 books: Gemina by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff, A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer, You Can Thank Me Later by Kelly Harms, and If Walls Could Talk by Juliet Blackwell! Pretty well if I do say so myself. Thanks @Andrew65 for hosting! #FabulousFebruary See you for #20in4

This book. Why did I wait so long to read this book? I adore this. This is one of those books you read and by the end you have ordered 3 books because reading about how they were written by these people is so fun!
I rarely feel this way about a book but I want to go back in time and live in this house!
