Welcome to Litsy!

What a fun pick for our buddy read @PuddleJumper !! Finished “A Lesson in Vengeance” earlier today!! Immediately jumped into the next book and I‘m liking it more and more as I read.

#Scarathlon2023 #TeamMischiefandMayhem #Readathons #ReadySetRead #31by31 #Spookoween #Readallday

I have a crazy idea & still trying to work out the details so no one feels overwhelmed! I love buddy reads & I have not done any in so long! I would love to get back into doing them. I started going through my books that I want to read & so far have come up with about 35 (this is no where near all of them)!

I just wanted to get a feel for if there would be any interest in buddy reading any of these books. If not, no worries!

💙💙💙

@EadieB @Tove_Reads Are these the books we are planning to Buddy read in May, and how does the schedule look?

All welcome to join us. 😊

Here's the tentative reading list for the next 5 months of #LitsyBuddyRead! The shortest books were deliberately assigned to Nov & Dec because of the holidays. If several of you would prefer to switch the books assigned to Sep & Oct so that you have time to read Beartown before Us Against You, please let me know ASAP. A Sep reading schedule will be posted this week. Thanks! #litsybuddyread

Thank you everyone for voting. I have tallied the votes (assigning 3 points for first choice, 2 points for second choice, and 1 point for third choice). The top four were very close in points and the fifth wasn‘t far behind. So the top five will be our next #LitsyBuddyRead books — see the bottom right square. The shortest books were deliberately chosen for November and December due to the holidays.

Litsy Buddy Readers: I am planning to announce the books for September, October, November, and December soon. These are the books I am choosing from and I would like input from those who want to participate. I made my first ever attempt at creating a google survey and I would really appreciate it if you would take a minute to vote. Thank you! #litsybuddyread

May is coming to an end, and the #janeaustenreadalong will continue in June with Persuasion!

#ShakespeareReadAlong #EpicKaTetRead #TheDarkTowerChapterAWeek

I‘m all caught up on my #BuddyReads! The Gunslinger is very strange. I don‘t think I would still be reading it if it wasn‘t for the buddy read and my bf telling me how awesome it gets in the later books.

Othello is just irritating me! I have no words for Iago. Okay, maybe one but it isn‘t appropriate. And Othello just believes him! Ugh.

Repost from @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks :

This is our lineup for the next 3 months!

June- An American Marriage
July- The Broken Girls
August-Circling the Sun ☀️

I have heard that #BOTM is sold out of The Broken Girls, but hopefully they will restock or you can pick it up elsewhere!

Any ideas for September? 📚

Repost from @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks :

Does anyone have any suggestions for our next buddy read? 📚📚📚

We would like to stay away from classics ☺️

Repost @tjwill :

Join me & @Daisey for the return of #sherlocked! We'll start reading the 13-story collection, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, on June 1st.

Repost from @LitsyGetsGraphic :

Reason #5️⃣ to read Feynman with us:
Mr. Feynman was a practical joker. He cracked every safe in the Manhattan project‘s office what was mentioned in a real memo as a possible security breach 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 but he did it just for fun
Start reading now 📚
Tag us #litsygetsgraphic
Discussion date 6/2

Repost @LitsyGetsGraphic :

📣 Meet our next read Feynman by Jim Ottaviani📣
Why should you read it?
1️⃣The main reason, that after this book you will know quantum physics theory & probably can explain how it works.
2️⃣ Feynman was an amazing & very talented man. He was interested in everything from Japanese language & art to nano physics.
3️⃣He was one of the researchers in the Manhattan project.
Start reading now & join our discussion on 6/2

Have you always wanted to tackle a George Eliot novel? Do you hate everything labeled “literature” & want to spice up a discussion with some classic lit lovers? Are you reading this & thinking, “What are you talking about?” Then this buddy read is for you! Join us to read Middlemarch, 1 chapter/day, & we‘ll tackle it together! (Sorry for telling you all about this now, we just decided today!)

🎭 “All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances; “🎭

I‘m pretty stoked to dive into this one. #ShakespeareReadalong, how about you?! I‘m super curious what editions you are choosing for the readalong. I went with this one and am unsure how I feel about the format.

First Discussion Post: March 17th 🍀
Participation Prize: Kate Spade Shakespeare Mug

Repost from @Jess_Read_This :

✍🏼Shakespearean aficionados! We're winding down with Cymbeline and all its plot twists.

Up next in the #ShakespeareReadalong is “As You Like It”. This choice was inspired by this lovely Kate Spade mug which highlights all Shakespeare‘s comedies. It's also the prize for participation in the play‘s readalong. ❤️ Details to follow.

Spring's near & let our laughter fill the air.
