Welcome to Litsy!

Thing 2 likes to have a lot of options, including non-fiction and manga. He's currently reading The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.

This is the 20th time we take part in the twice yearly #Deweys #24hourReadathon ! Ten years of family readathons.
#RaisingReaders

There will be no pic of Thing 1's #readathon stack, as he's audiobooking The Raven Cycle for the umpteenth time whilst working on his Final Project for his Art & Design course.

The Spouse goes for a smaller #readathon stack. And tbh he will probably just read Nights at the Circus until his head spins and then either fall asleep for three hours or wander off to do something else (like prepare food, because I'm for sure not going to do it today 😂)

#Deweys #24hourReadathon

It's #readathon time! My stack has a bunch of short reads for when I need a break from the chunksters. My kindle is there to represent The Hero of Ages and Warbreaker that I need to catch up on for the #CosmereBuddyRead 😅

I guess, with this update now, I have a bingo?

Finished one book, started four new ones. Only one of the four I started was on my tentative #TBR. ??

Also, what exactly counts as a spooky treat? My European mind can't think of something other than "must mean disgusting".

Anyone else doing #DewesReadathon this weekend?

Clocks go back to Winter Time in Europe tonight, which makes the #readathon 25 hours long. 😁

Picture is from Dewey's Readathon Instagram.

#Midwintersolace

Well, this came around quick!!! Tine to get warm and cosy. Are you joining our weekly communal read hour between 8 - 9pm your time? What are you planning on reading for our Sunday #HyggehourReadathon

@Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie @jenniferw88

I managed to return some books in the nick of time and rescue the three books the library had withheld. 😅 Currently I have these 14, with another 6 on hold but only 2 of them are remotely likely to come in anytime soon.
First up -The 7 Moons, because I have to return that in 4 days.

#MissionReadAllTheLibraryBooks

I had a bunch of library holds come in and it turns out that their 15 book limit is absolute. So I had to leave three books behind for the time being. 😫 It's probably good that they are cutting me off tbh 😆 Clearly it's time for another round of #MissionReadAllTheLibraryBooks Or at least 3 of them.

I have some big ongoing reads, but for expediency I've dug out the three shortest books. Now, how fast can I get through them? Ready, set, read!

My TBR for #DeweysReadathon and for all of spooky season. I also have some Tremblay short stories on audio and a whole bunch of e-books, first and foremost Lone Women by Victor LaValle. Excitement! 😁

It's that time again, #Deweysreadathon is this weekend, and my 13 year old has his TBR ready. ❤️📚

I actually want to nab a couple of those books when he's done with them. I've never read The Giver and I haven't read The Outsiders since I was about his age.

#readathon #RaisingReaders

#July2023 #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2023

I read 15 books during July 2023.

I got 3 bingos during July 2023.

Tomorrow is the start of my birthday weekend 🥳 so always down for more reading plans outside of celebrating! Since I've been extra moody lately in my reading I'm not setting a specific TBR but just wanna read as much as I can and have fun. I'll aim for 20 hours as a vague goal to aspire to...
#20in4 #readathon @Andrew65

Yes! I‘m planning on finishing “The Murder of Mr. Wickham” on audio, and physical books “Romantic Comedy” and “The Box in the Woods”. Here I go!

The house feels like plague central lately with the whole family coughing and sniffling. Fortunately next week is half-term break, and Monday is even a bank holiday, so it's the perfect weekend for a #readathon
No specific reading goals except at LEAST the 20 hours. I have (as always) a stack of library books to get through, and I might get started on Demon Copperhead as well.

#MagnificentMay #Readathon
Joining @Andrew65 for this readathon. This first week of May I have been spinning my wheels on books and not getting anywhere so a readathon sounds like a great idea to get things moving.

Taking a break from book award short- and long lists this weekend.
Tomorrow it's time for #Deweys 24-hour #readathon again, and I have compiled a #tbr of one seasonal read, three short books, a graphic novel, and lastly two page turners to keep me awake. Will I get through them all? Doubtful, but I will sure try! 😁 (And I have the bank holiday Monday too.)

Today, 26th March, is Purple Day to promote understanding and compassion for those suffering from Epilepsy, as well as National Nougat Day.

For today‘s #DailyChallenge for #MarchMadness, and to fit in with Purple Day post a book that has a purple cover, or has purple on the cover in some way, or even purple in the title. Alternatively let us know your favourite nougat. I look forward to seeing your posts.

Wrap up #20in4 #Readathon
Successful readathon with three books finished-and the covers are all color coordinated with lovely shades of orange and yellow! 💛🧡
Not quite my planned TBR but these were all quick reads and the other two books I had planned just weren‘t catching my attention. Thanks @Andrew65

Finished two books so far #20in4 #Readathon
✅ Finance for the People - I had heard the author on a podcast. It has fun illustrations and checklists so it‘s easy to understand.
✅ She and Her Cat: Stories - I wasn‘t expecting parts of the stories to be from the cats‘ pov!

Tomorrow I‘d like to read a mystery

My goals for the #20in4 readathon this month:
-read for 20 hours
-finish No Exit, started yesterday
-try Elizabeth O'Roark's books

Some of our favourite #bookmarks used during the #readathon

@DeweysReadathon

Thing 2's #readathon stack. I put them in a handy basket so he can easily move them around to different reading spots (and no doubt scatter finished books in his wake).

@DeweysReadathon

So very ready for the 24-hour #readathon to start tomorrow! 📚📖❣️

(Well, almost ready. On my way to buy snacks now.)

@DeweysReadathon

I actually did what I set out to do, plus one! Finished these 3 books over the weekend! Yay! The Raven King finished a great series for me and The Opal Deception helped me decide I didn‘t want to continue that series. To: Night Owl From: Dogfish was a quick, cute read. It feels good. On with August!

#TBR for #Deweys #ReverseReadaton this weekend. They all need to be returned to the library on Monday. 😱😵‍💫

I've already returned The Paper Palace unread once. Not going to do that again! At least I'm almost halfway through the Straub as it is the current #CampLitsy book.

Ok, I'm wearing short sleeves, so no need to roll them up. Limbering up my fingers. Readying the snacks. Channeling Undertale: I am filled with determination.

#JubliantJuly #Readathon

After Day 3:
Read Easy Kill - 432 Pgs
Read My Little Brother 420 Pgs
Read The Perfect Friend - 320 Pgs

Total Pages Read - 1,172 Pgs

Continuing Lessons in Chemistry by Donna Garmus (library book) and just started listening to Finding Me by Viola Davis. Hoping to finish both this week. They are outstanding so far. Oh, and I just started rewatching Grey‘s Anatomy from the beginning - oh no! Oh yes!

It was a weird readathon.
--Great Passage: planned to read 100 pages. Finished. 5/5
--Don't Make Me Think: planned to finish. Didn't read. I love the book but it's work-related and I didn't feel like it. :)
--He Saw That It Was Good: planned to finish but after 100 pages I was tired. It's very good but not a quick/light read.
#20in4
Audiobook update below.
@Andrew65

#JoysOfJune readathon day 6. One book finished and another almost finished. Plus over 16 hours read. The beautiful weather here in Norfolk has really helped.
@Andrew65

I finally got my #bigjunereadathon page done! Let‘s see if I can match my goals! @Clwojick

#20in4 update. I finished the books in the top row and made progress in those in the bottom row.

I put in about 30 😱 hours—mostly audio—while puttering, cooking and driving. 🙂

Thanks, @Andrew65 🎉 This was so much fun!

Hi all! It‘s been a while since I‘ve been here! It has been hard to concentrate on reading since going back to in person classes last month. I‘m on a train for the next three hours so will take this opportunity to jump back in and get started on the readathon! What to start with, an audiobook or arc?
Thanks @Andrew65 #MarvellousMay

I didn‘t set any specific goals, but I had a great readathon!
Finished 6 books, wrote 3 reviews for NetGalley, watched two books to movies! I liked all of these books, and my favorite was Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking.
Thank you @Andrew65 #readathon

🎧 Still listening to Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking and Strange Weather in Tokyo. Not sure what I‘ll pick next, maybe The Woman in the Purple Skirt

Thanks @Andrew65
