Welcome to Litsy!

Wow, this is so crazy! I can‘t believe I have been on Litsy for four years (and fairly active throughout that entire time)! I‘ve always been a voracious reader and book person, but being a part of the Litsy community has absolutely changed my reading life. I have read more, and more diversely, than ever before. I never used to listen to audiobooks, and they are such a huge portion of my reading now. I love this community!

I posted this lot of #LitsyLove yesterday. They are all heading over the seas. Is your name amongst them? @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Litsy friends! My and @Saknicole ‘s IRL friend @Murphytall is on Litsy now! Please welcome her to our wonderful book loving community :)

Yesterday‘s yummy lunch from my sister‘s co-op and some #litsylove I posted yesterday arvo. Bound for overseas. This Australian wine is delicious.

Home for the holidays and my mum has decided to work (She has only just decided to work over the last few years after not ‘working‘ the whole nearly 40 years of my life!) I went to work with her but I was in the yoga room writing #Litsylove letters.

Lots of #Litsylove leaving the country soon...
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I treated myself to my first iPad from a Black Friday deal. Finally got Litsy set up on it!

1. Learning about new books and the community of fellow book lovers!
2. The only thing I don‘t like is when I see posts that are negative. Not negative reviews, but rather complaining, passive-aggressive posts. I‘ve had to unfollow some people in the past that were too negative.
3. I would love it if there was a private message function. A lot of the swap spam could be cut down.

Some #LitsyLove being posted after work today. Can you see your name?

Putting this #LitsyLove in the mail today when I get off this tram at the next stop.

Cool that we can do Litsy on the web now! 3 years this month I‘ve been on Litsy!

Decided to join in the #20ThingsAboutMe prompt. Welcome to any new followers! I hope you enjoy Litsy as much as the rest of us! For everyone else, enjoy the tidbits about my life!

Thanks for getting things started @LibrarianRyan

Readers are bad people!

Will you my beloved followers please flag this post? I need to test flagging a bit.

We‘ve revamped the “Follow Suggested Users.” The old one was full of verified accounts that don‘t use the site now. The new is full of fresh, active members you‘ll want to follow. It‘s partially personalized according to what you read. And it‘s new every day. Enjoy!

To use, go to the home screen and tap the blue person icon in the upper-left corner. Select "find users to follow."

I surpassed 15k in litfluence last night!

Test

Notifications should be fixed for all Apple users. Thanks to @conceptDawg for the fix!

Here is what @Kayla.Adriena got me for #litsyswapoween all I have to say is WOW. I LOVE the booksleeve heck I love everything if we are being honest the Disney stickers are perfect thank you.

Introducing a new feature: Add a Book to Litsy! The @Litsy database and its sources don't have every book. Upcoming, self-published, and non-English books are not always available. So, by popular request, members can now add a book to the Litsy database.

The feature is currently available as a web page. In future versions, we'll add it to the app.

Check it out: https://www.librarything.com/litsy_addbook_manual.php

Let us know what you think!

Oh happy day! I got my first #jb #litsylove today from the wonderful @Lovesbooks87 I am going out today to get some new cards to mail! Thank you so much for making my day special - I‘ll be writing back to you soon!!💕💕💕

I wish I could put my TBR in alphabetical order, and I wish I could like comments, but above all I wish I could be tagged easily.
If you had a Litsy wishlist, what would it be?

Quick heads up: we‘ve changed email providers. If you‘re subscribed to our newsletters, you should receive two emails today:

1. One via MailChimp saying that we‘re moving
2. A second, through our new servers. If you don't see it, check your spam folder.

You can unsubscribe with a link on the second email.

If we can guess that you are in Europe, the second email will say so, and it will be your last (!), unless you click to subscribe again.

I wanted to update Littens on Litsy images loading slower.

We found the issue last week, fixed it and have confirmed it's fixed. The issue was that, with the app update, Litsy images stopped being resized appropriately, so they were larger than is ideal. (Graph shows image data growth and return to normal.)

We've since reintroduced resizing (and "resampling"). But we are doing slightly less of it, to make the images crisper.

Gotta spread the word

And at a glance, all the world is in perfect synchronicity.
You Littens are my people

#LitsyPSA from @Litsy !!!! Spread the word so everyone is prepared!!!!

@kgriffith also created a spot on Library thing for us to go when it is down! https://www.librarything.com/topic/289278

Hey friends, spread the news! Litsy will down for about eight hours, starting at 3 am EST on April 3. See you all on the other side! 💜 #psa @LitsyHappenings maybe you guys can repost?

The amazing @Chelleo made a few tutorial videos targeted at new Littens and Littens who might still be having some trouble with the App.

WHOOOOO HOOOOO!!! I finished my list!! #litsya-z @BookishMarginalia

So just what is this app, a place to feel vindicated in the books one has read, connect with similarly literate people or, just a book reviewer? How does this app work, and to what end? And... I, I don't know what I am asking for, or expecting out of this.

Well my review, I've read a great deal and enjoyed a great deal. Books are very personal, I believe there is a Time & Place for every book, and I wish you luck finding yours for your next read.

I've had a busy weekend and didn't get much #LitsyPartyofOne time in, but I'm making up for it a bit tonight. Spending some quality time with Litsy on my iPad and a glass of red wine 🍷

First time I‘m doing this. 😃. #litsypartyofone

Just in case anyone is sniffing around my profile ☺️Both? Both is good. 🍁Also both? I have two cats and a pupper 🍎Vampires, but I'm not a massive fan of either? 🎃Jack o lantern! 😮thriller- I love suspense and a touch of scare factor but I don't like bloody body horror! 🍄Voldemort! 🦅Ravenclaw forever 🌻Marvel all the way 🍂treat! #fallbookexchange

Just joined this new Goodreads Litsy group! Here is the link:

Everyone on my timeline's celebrating, like, 30k litfluence and up while I'm over here all, "2500, baby! Yeah!"

Please don't mess up my Litsy app. Please don't mess up my Litsy app. Please don't mess up my Litsy app. I don't care about Twitter. Please don't mess up my Litsy app
