Welcome to Litsy!

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Still a little behind in haikus but today‘s is all about the reading. I‘m staying put at home & finishing the final 3 books I have started to clear out August by midnight. Wish me luck! 🍀📚

A day set aside
Three books waiting to be closed
Before August ends

Just a few hours away from the best weekend of the summer! Who‘s ready?! #24in48

I‘ve been on Litsy all day long between this-and-that thing. Here lately, I think that I have been enjoying talking about reading more than actually reading. I am going to commit this evening to finishing my current book which has only 50 pages remaining and to starting a new book. Also, I am excited to reread H.P. this summer. We‘ll see how it goes. A thunderstorm with rain showers has started outside and the sky is darkening. Time for reading!

✨Happy Thursday Littens ✨

#watercolor #literarydoodles

Ready for Sunday at the Festival of Books 📚 😋📖👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 just a matter of time now 😝🤣🤣🤣📖

Spring Break has begun! #litsyteachers
And I‘m excited to end it next weekend with another #24B4Monday #readathon
I‘ll be reading lots this week so it will probably be spent finishing up various books.

I'm taking that weekend to give myself some "me time"!! Can't wait for it!

Thanks @TheReadingMermaid and @Andrew65 for another #24b4monday

I‘m off my reading groove but trying to get it back this weekend! Happy reading!

Pulling books from my shelf in preparation of #24in48! As always I got a little enthusiastic with my goal but I‘m hoping to get through most of these. I also have Harry Potter on audiobook for when my eyes need a break.

TBR is all set and I‘m ready for the freakin‘ weekend! #24in48

Just created a readathon to motivate myself to read 7 more books before 2019, which would complete my Goodreads goal. Anyone interested? https://www.facebook.com/events/337497447081799/?ti=ia

@MrBook @BookBabe

I just got home from Thanksgiving travels but I‘m going to see if I can get some good reading in! #24B4Monday

I'm all in

I‘m definitely down for this! I can definitely finish a book a week! Thanks for hosting @TheReadingMermaid

@nu-bibliophile #onlyreadersunderstand

📚 Alphabetically by author. Signed books in separated from others as well as poetry books and text books.
📗 So many... how can you choose just one?
👃 Oh yes! Love the new book smell. Better than the new car smell.😊
📱📘 No. But if I read the ebook or listen to the audio book and love it, I have been known to buy the print copy for my library.

According to the #leio app, I‘m on quite the reading streak! 215 days, guys. It‘s a #blameitonlitsy moment.

#tbr

I have to clean house and grocery shop but I just want to stay in bed and read! It‘s overcast, great day to cuddle and read 🤓📚

Today‘s Prompt: Take It All

And....I want to say: “Take it all” from a woman who reads. :)

This is pretty funny - I hope you enjoy the joke too.

I wasn't going to participate because Pride is this weekend, but now I'm thinking why not. It's a great motivator to read as much as possible around the edges of busyness.

What are you planning to read for the #readathon if you're taking part? #25infive

Everyday! 😀

Ok, so I‘ve already ditched the stopwatch. I accidentally closed out of the app. 🤦🏻‍♀️ And I still haven‘t finished my first book. I‘m getting close. Had to get out of the house for a bit. I feel like I‘m getting in the zone better now. #24in48

OMG it‘s my second fave time of the year, aka #24in48READATHON TIME!! Behold, I actually have a semi-thought-out reading list to start with! It‘ll probably all be different by tomorrow, but, well. At least I kind of maybe tried to plan ahead this time.

My one piece of advice: GET THEE AN AUDIOBOOK. Seriously. Save your brain so much pain & strain (seewhatididthere). What are y‘all reading?? Tell me in the comments! #24in48

Hey hey, can't believe it's almost time! This'll be happening right after my vacation ends, so I'm not sure if I'll be too burnt out from reading all month to participate, but...at least I'll try! @24in48

I can't wait till Friday, which will be a huge day worthy of 🍾 because I have the day off and nothing to do but read!! First day in weeks.
