Welcome to Litsy!

I love this “Read” book art, a gift from my sister‘s-in-law. You can find the artist (Fiction Reshaped) at https://linktr.ee/fictionreshaped 📚

I meant to post about this ... I‘m doing pretty good and hoping to finish another book today and finish my 20 hours! #20in4 @Andrew65

Currently reading: We Dream of Space

Finished: Unbirthday, the Witch‘s Family, Every Falling Star, Every Thing On It, The Hound of Baskervilles and These Feathered Flames

So excited to hear @Andrew65 is hosting a new #readathon. I fell down my stairs yesterday and tweaked my back pretty good. I‘ll be resting, recuperating and reading this weekend!

Also going to try the #nonfiction2021 bingo board by @Riveted_Reader_Melissa

Thanks to @Squidget for this #shutdownreadathon. I‘m purposely not setting a specific goal. I plan to read more than I am on mindless social media. Stay safe fellow littens

@Sace is hosting a great low-key readathon from Oct 1-4 and this is a great way for #TeamHarkness to get points for #Scarathlon2020! Remember that for every hour read during a readathon you get 10 points! How great is that!

This has been a year of somewhat slow reading, and I did have an epic reading slump of many months too. But I managed to reach my minimum goal, so yay for that. 🎉👾

I‘m in for #24B4Monday & this is a fun questionnaire. Thanks @Clwojick 😀

1. No. I‘ll be lucky if I remember to use the timer. 😂
2. Mood reader
3. This time of year ginger snaps, anything pumpkin spice, & hot tea (current faves: cardamom & chai spice by Ahmad Tea)
4. Early riser, then I nap in the afternoon & stay up late 😂
5. Just have fun & don‘t stress about the time
6. 🤷🏼‍♀️ see no. 2
7. Probably all 3

Here are my July Reads!
17 books read
5 audiobooks
Favorite: Sweep of the Blade by Ilona Andrew
Least favorite: We Hunt The Flame
3 rereads-Bridgerton series
I am at 120 of my 165 book goal.
#julyreads

These packages left this morning for their next stops! @BethM your #lmpbc book is on its way. I completely forgot that we were sending extra items in our packages until after I got it out, so I‘ll definitely get you extra well next month! @erinreads the next #readersgonnaread is headed your way. I tried to get us caught up timeline wise! @cwarnier the next #controversialbookclub pick is on its way to you! Hope you all enjoy!!

Not the 24 hours I was planning on, but I did make my adjusted goal, plus I finished two books (Tart of Darkness and Royals) and made good progress on two more (A Trick of the Light and With the Fire on High). #24in48 @24in48

@TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65

Well, I'll be on holiday on that weekend, l'm behind with my challenges and #NetGalley reading, in short it's the ideal moment for joining.

I'll tell the truth, l'm not very good at readathons, but this time l want to make an extraeffort.
Let's see 😆

For me, this is pretty much audiobook in my car or house 🙂

17 Books read!
6 Audiobooks
2 Non fiction
1 ARC
2 DNF not shown
4993 Pages read
Favorites: Becoming, Of Blood and Bone

Good month thanks to vacation, read-a-thons and snow days!

I‘m a little over 12 hours into the #24in48 and #24b4monday readathon. It‘s going for 9 PM here and I‘m going to push to stay up until 1 or 2 AM to get more reading done. Maybe I will get another book finished before bed or get close to finishing another book. We will see. How is everyone doing in the readathon?

I‘ve run a reading challenge for staff in my library system for the last few years and thought I‘d share what we‘re doing this year. READO is a riff on BINGO where participants get a READO and become eligible for a monthly $25 gift drawing. So far, we‘ve done boards for Science Fiction & Fantasy Authors, World Literature, Reading Experiences & Mystery & Suspense Authors.

I completely lost track of time on #24b42019 but am thrilled with my reading this long weekend- finished 5 books and ready for a prolific year of reading in 2019. Thanks @TheReadingMermaid and @Andrew65

#Readathon

My Bingo card. Got two lines and that‘s as good as it‘ll get. I‘m not on goodreads and not reading anything spooky this weekend. I‘m pretty happy with this.

Going on 11th hour of reading. Planning to put in 12 total before going to bed. That may be it for me for the official readathon, but I‘ll be reading more this weekend.

Just signed up! I‘m not really going for 24-hours, but hoping to knock out some of my TBR with all of you this weekend!!!

Usually it takes me a day or two to get through a good-sized book.
What about you guys? 😃

I‘m in!! #12in2 #readathon @Samplergal

@nu-bibliophile #onlyreadersunderstand

1. Several at once. I usually have a physical book, an audio book and an ebook going at the same time.
2. Images
3. Depends. If the writing is descriptive I feel like I am in the story.
4. It would be my grand kids. For my grandson it would be any book with dragons and my granddaughter is all about horses.

Found these cute buttons at a gift shop downtown yesterday. Could not resist. I have no willpower when it comes to anything bookish. In my defense, they were $1 each. 😋

Join @Samplergal and other Littens this weekend for a #13inThree readathon! 13 hours of reading in Three days. Starts Friday night. Join us, you know you want to!

#ReadingResolutions Day 30: My #AprilStats - I think I read more last month - April is quite certainly super hectic in my university.

Hell yeah!!! 🤓

#Readingfavourites

1. Print
2. Chair in my office in the winter. Anywhere outside when the weather is nice.
3. Any kind of finger food..chips, popcorn, nuts, Cheetos, chocolate!
4. Multiple for sure
5. Day, but I do like to read right before I go to sleep too.

A couple of days late, but here are my stats for February. 😁📖💙

A little bit of a late start to #24in48 but I think I‘ll still be able to make the full 24. Here is my TBR. Couple of short story books and book club books. I also have three novellas downloaded on #overdrive. How is everyone‘s reading going so far?

Love this!!💖

Starting off my #24in48 with some food!

Join @Read.Em.And.Eat for a readathon this weekend!

Litsy, I cannot decide which of these books to read from the "Rory Gilmore" list for the #litsyreadingchallenge. What do you think? Which one should I go with?

I am reasonably certain I would hate this, but others of you might be interested....?
