Hello hello!! Introducing JSW for all the new folx!! You should know:
1) I mostly post on weekends, when I have a chance to catch up. Weekdays are for work and weeknights are for Mr. JSW and reading.
2) I tend to post a few things at a time (see above).
3) I love swear words. You are warned.
4) I bail on books because life is just too short to finish shit that‘s not for me.
5) it‘s so great to meet you! 😘❤️ Say hi if you‘re new!

Check out reviews for my new dystopian novel NEW KINGS OF TOMORROW. If you are looking for something new, refreshing, and a challenge to how we view ourselves and our history. This is the book for you. I‘d love your feedback.

1. Currently living in Japan, originally from Fantasia. 2. Contemporary, Historical, sci-if and fantasy. I think the only genre I -don‘t- like much is mystery (especially murder, detective stuff) 3. Just finished Lilac Girls, and digging into Les Miserables. 4. Pizza 😢 (currently doing low gluten/dairy diet) 5. Not atm but I have a list of dog names🐕 6. Why is a raven like a writing desk?
#LitsyWelcomeWagon

tessavi Sci-if, that actually sounds likr an interesting genre 😝 7y

tessavi and as you can see, I can't type neither 7y

tokyoseg @tessavi it‘s a specific time traveling in a parallel universe of all the choices you didn‘t make genre 😜 7y

Halp! I keep seeing hashtags for reading challenges, book exchanges, and other stuff, but i have no idea how to join/participate. How does that work around here? #SecretSantaGoesPostal #WinterSolsticeBookExchange #LivesUnderARock

buecherwurm Normally the litten organizing an event will post some link where you can sign up. Some people will repost it and like this the whole thing will spread. Just keep your eyes open! 7y

JenP Yes, make sure to follow some of folks who organize such things too. There is usually a link posted for sign ups. @BookishMarginalia usually does the secret Santa exchanges. @MrBook @Avanders @BookBabe are hosting the current one. 7y

nightwitch Thanks @buecherwurm and @JenP ! That helps a lot ❤❤😊😅 7y

Dolly Following lots of people helps. 🙄😊 7y

MrBook @nightwitch Excellent question! Thank you for the tag, @JenP ☺️! As @buecherwurm and @Dolly pointed out, it's kind of a hit and miss sort of thing. The more amazing Littens you follow, the more likely you'll come across announcements and shares. Some Littens are very good at helping to get the word out and participating, including: @LibrarianRyan @RaimeyGallant @Avanders @Jess7 @MinDea @abbsinwonderland @TricksyTails . Who else, Littens? 7y

TricksyTails Hello! Hello! Thank you for the tag @MrBook! Welcome to Litsy! What everyone above recommends is great advice. Follow the hashtags and the people already recommended. @JenlovesJT47 and I are doing a #MyBloodyValentineSwap if you want to join us for that. Sign up ends Friday. My cohost also will be doing another graphic novel swap in March so follow her if that interests you. @Clwojick has a lot of fun #swap ideas happening soon. 7y

Dolly Also, when you see a “#” link you think looks interesting, click on it then scroll down until you find the original post to get the details. It may take a little practice. See if you can find the original posting for the contest link in my most recent post. “The Lost City of the Monkey God” 7y

TricksyTails Some other fun people to follow who are always in the know are @MinDea @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @DebinHawaii @TheKidUpstairs @MaleficentBookDragon @Mommamanzi @4thhouseontheleft @Tiffy_Reads @teebe. That's a good place to start! Hope you have fun! Happy you're here. 👏😊📚 7y

TricksyTails @Sarah83 Is doing a #LitsyClassics #readalong. Sign up is closed but you can still join discussions and #buddyreads for the different books. If fantasy is your genre, we just started an #EpicBuddyRead of #TheNameoftheWind. Never too late to join. At the start of the year I'll be doing a #StephenKing and #TerryPratchett buddy read in publication order. 7y

Jess7 Thanks for the shout out @MrBook !! welcome @nightwitch - @MinDea and I host a monthly #LitsyBuddyRead from our personal Litsy accounts and post the reading schedules on the @LitsyBuddyRead account. I also host a monthly photo challenge. This month it‘s called #ReindeerReads. i have a daily prompt list posted on my page and many have reposted it too. Just search that hashtag. Also @MinDea hosts a monthly #booktoscreen discussion. 🤗 (edited) 7y

LibrarianRyan Welcome @nightwitch. I do various character challenges normally around the holidays. I'll be hosting a #fowlchapteraday buddy read of the Artemis Fowl reads, plus others. All the people I think to follow have already been tagged. Plus under the search function you can search all used # 7y

nightwitch Wow!! Thanks @Dolly @MrBook @TricksyTails @Jess7 and @LibrarianRyan for all the help! I really appreciate the warm welcome ❤😊😁 7y

teebe I'm hosting the horror edition of the #TravellingBook. There's also other genres hosted by other Littens. Horror still has spots open, the book is

The Exorcist: 40th Anniversary Edition

teebe Also, there are also postal book clubs, where a group of Littens each send a book and a journal and it rotates until everyone gets their books back. These take longer and sign ups are rarer than gift swaps so it's definitely hit or miss. 7y

DebinHawaii Thanks for the shoutout @TricksyTails 💜 Welcome to Litsy @nightwitch 🎉📚👍😀Hope you enjoy it here! As everyone has said--jump in, follow people and when you see bookscand tags you like join in. I am hosting a buddy read or reread of Jane Austen's Persuasion in February--details to come. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Welcome @nightwitch - glad to have you here! I‘m one of the co-hosts for the #Booked2018 reading challenge. You can find the details in my feed and also in the sign-up link here: https://tinyurl.com/ybl7app4 - we‘d love to have you join us if you‘re so inclined. 7y

nightwitch Thanks @teebe , @DebinHawaii , and @BarbaraTheBibliophage for the suggestions! :) those look like a lot of fun! 😀 7y

Cinfhen Thanks for the shoutout @TricksyTails & welcome @nightwitch 👋🏼I think you were given lots of good info already...I'll just add jump in on the daily prompts or weekly general prompts...it's a fun way to meet & interact with various people! I'm co-hosting #Booked2018 low key reading challenge and I have a music inspired photo challenge matching books to song titles #decdays is this month's hashtag! 7y

RaimeyGallant Welcome to Litsy! #LitsyWelcomeWagon And here's a compilation of Litsy tips that some of us put together:
https://raimeygallant.com/2017/10/31/litsytips/ Hopefully this will help. :) Also, I'm not sure if they've been mentioned, but some Littens who run events are @Clwojick @Tiffy_Reads @Jess7 7y

Clwojick Hey! I do have some upcoming events planned. Myself and @TricksyTails are hosting #LetsGetGraphicWeeklongMarathon , which as you might've guessed is where everyone reads graphic novels for a week. We'll be sharing discussion questions, a super awesome photo challenge, and we'll be giving away a small prize 🙀 so if you're interested in graphic novels, or have any on your TBR come join us Jan 13th- 19th 7y

Clwojick Me and @monalyisha are also hosting a #throwbackreadathon on Jan 25-28th. Four days of rereading your favourite books from your childhood, and sharing your thoughts with fellow Littens. There is a discussion every Thursday leading up to the start day. 💗 please feel free to let us know if you have any questions. 7y

alisiakae Welcome! And thanks for the tag, @TricksyTails! I‘m co-hosting the #Booked2018 year-long challenge with @Cinfhen and @BarbaraTheBibliophage, I see they already posted the link! Litsy is a lot of fun. 😃 7y

nightwitch @Cinfhen @RaimeyGallant @Clwojick @4thhouseontheleft those idead all sound like a ton of fun! Im looking forward to getting more involved!! 😀 7y

Avanders Hello 👋🏽 and welcome @nightwitch ! Looking above 👆🏽 looks like you've got a lot to start with ☺️ Reach out whenever you get stumped! And remember to check with @LitsyHappenings (there'll be a calendar to follow shortly). Thanks @JenP and @MrBook for the shout outs! 7y

readinginthedark I just saw this blurb, but @Jess_Read_This and I cohost the ongoing #ShakespeareReadalong if you‘re interested! We have a smaller group than some of the others, so just let her know if you‘d like to participate, and she‘ll tag you on the posts! We‘re reading As You Like It right now. 7y
