January is almost over! Remember that on the 29th we‘ll all Litsy-blast our #1WordTitle reads, also accompanied by the #ReadWithMrBook tag. It‘s a great way to build TBR stacks! 😊

February‘s # will be #TearJerker ! Any book that you think will make you cry. 😳 🥺😢😩😭 Stock up on the tissue boxes!! 🤧😬

A big thank you to everyone who has been participating in #ReadWithMrBook! 🤗🤗🤗

Please feel free to share!

bibliobliss I can't believe the month is almost over!! Check back in soon 👋 4y
rwmg How do you Litsy-blast? 4y

I accidentally reset my reading time so here are my 2 times I had for a total of 18 hours and 39 minutes! Not to bad. I actually ended up with more than I thought I would.
Happy New Year everyone!

1. The evening 🌅
2. I usually read after I am completely ready for bed (and more often than not fall asleep with my book in my hand!) I find that it is the best way to wind down after a busy day 😉

Tips on improving reading time.

If you are able to access it, any thoughts?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/play/p06ndvyq

Lel2403 Some good ideas, like having a book in the car. I always take a book or kindle to medical appointments as there‘s always a lot of waiting around 5y
Andrew65 @Lel2403 The beauty of the phone or iPad means I always have books on me. 5y
Lel2403 @Andrew65 indeed, me too. I always have something to read 5y
robinb Helpful hints! I especially liked the DEAR program which my kids loved in elementary school. They were always excited because they never knew when during their school day that the DEAR would be announced. 😊 5y

Ugh I miss those days in school! It would be silent reading day, and everyone comes to school in their pjs (after that we became more advanced and started bringing blankets and pillows) and just read ALLL day! 😍📚 I keep trying to convince my boss we should cancel work and just read, but for some reason she keeps saying no🤔😂🙌🏼 #nationalreadingday #books #Iwish

TheFunkyBookworm Would you believe a lot schools don‘t allow silent reading at all anymore?!?! 🤯🤯🤯 I literally got in trouble for doing it once a week for 30min in my classroom one year... admin walked in, everyone was silent with their nose in a book and I was told I was wasting time and they weren‘t learning! 🤬 I promptly switched schools the following year! (edited) 6y
Eggs Yes I believe that. We used to have DEAR-drop everything and read-on campuses. Even 30" a day would be helpful 6y
Cailey_Mac @TheFunkyBookworm What?! That‘s awful! I would‘ve switched schools as a student 😅 I guess we got lucky! 6y
Ddzmini Yes 😋📖📚📚📚 I‘m up for it I‘ll vote for it who do we need to put on the ballot 🧐 6y

So my daughter, the wonderful @Ambrosnazzy has scheduled another #Litsypartyofone. I'm hoping it will feel more like fall here in South Florida by then, but I will make sure to get plenty of fall scented candles to set the mood. Hope you will all join the fun.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I'm hoping it feels more like fall by then and I'm in Pennsylvania!! 6y
Jinjer Arkansas could use some fall color & weather. I‘ll be at the party. 6y

Jess7 How does this work? When does it start? And how do you sign up? 7y
Bookzombie @Jess7 Hi, if you go to @24in48 's profile there is a link. It takes you right to the sign up sheet. There is also more info there, but basically this readathon is to try and I read 24 hours out of 48. This will be my third one and the most I have read is around 15 hours. It's really just to get everyone to carve out time for reading. 7y
Bookzombie @jess7 and @TheLondonBookworm You should both join. It's fun! 7y
Jess7 Sounds fun, but I have an out of town wedding to go to this weekend, so I'm not able to participate . Have fun! 7y
