@avanders - Alethia, I am SO sorry! Evidently the printed address did not inclyde your apartment number & I didn't notice. I'm on my way back to the post office to get it sent out again... My sincere apologies if it doesn't make it by Christmas Eve, but I'm going to do my best! 🤞🏻 @MaleficentBookDragon

mom2bugnbee @MaleficentBookDragon - I deleted the email from you once I sent the package, so I don't have the apt number. Could you email me ASAP? Or reply here with a spoiler comment? I am SO sorry! 1y

Week 3 goals
✅ 2 books/wk (9)
❌ 59.5k weekly steps
❌ 210 active minutes
❌ under cal. count 5/7 days

Week 3 went poorly for me. Forgot to log calories, and have been plagued by horrible thunderstorms, anxiety, and other factors that have made getting steps in hard. Trying to be patient with myself and remember I'm trying my best. Next week is another week!

Peddler410 Not my best either. Tomorrow starts a new week. 6y

wanderinglynn One step, one day at a time. 💜 You‘re making great progress. We all have down weeks. I feel ya. Hang in there. 6y

BarbaraJean This was a harder week for me, too. I‘m glad to be tracking goals weekly—it‘s nice to have a fresh start and reset for a better try next week! 6y

Meaw_catlady We can not control the weather but we can keep pushing forward even through the bad weeks! Sending you calm energies to help with the anxiety! 🙏 6y

Millesent Today is the first day of the rest of your life. But don‘t worry, so is tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that. Ha ha. I read this somewhere and it really struck me as funny. 5y

Bostonmomx2 I personally think these are fake 😕 7y

Cinfhen I don‘t think so @Bostonmomx2 because I was once stopped on Hollywood Blvd by Kimmel‘s camera crew... 7y

Cinfhen How terrifying is this?!? @thereadingowlvina @Syndelle777 @Sarah83 7y

TrishB I read about this today 😔 7y

Sarah83 It's unbelievable 7y

MicheleinPhilly On the contrary, I want these people to stay FAR away from Litsy. Then can keep their idiocy on Snapchat or something. 7y

Leftcoastzen 😬😳😬😳😬😳😬what‘s a book? 7y

erinreads I‘m with @MicheleinPhilly. Do we REALLY want these people here on Litsy? 🙅🏼 7y

LauraBeth I‘m gonna go and ask the husband this question...brb 😬 7y

CouronneDhiver Good grief. 😐 7y

Trashcanman This is a part of the reason things are the way they are in this country. People rather keep up with the Kardashians instead of the shit that matters. 7y

Cailey_Mac The only thing that made me sad was the few who said they haven‘t read a book in X amount of years or ever and seemed PROUD of it. 7y

Cinfhen That‘s true @MicheleinPhilly @erinreads but at least they would be able to say Moby Dick “wrote” a story about a whale 🐳 😂😂😂 😉Truthfully, It‘s a bit frightening ....these people make up our juries @Leftcoastzen @LauraBeth @CouronneDhiver 😳😬🙄 7y

Cinfhen It‘s absolutely sad @Trashcanman @Cailey_Mac 😢😢😢 7y

BarbaraBB Oh man... this is so depressing. Ignorance being cool 😪 7y

Mdargusch Very disappointing! 😳 7y

Weaponxgirl Oh damn 7y

ScientistSam Oh wow, I really hope some of them just had brain freeze from being on TV. Like the one who said she had been a librarian... 7y

DivineDiana @Cinfhen I agree they are real, but I think they only chose to feature the fails to make it entertaining. At least, that‘s what I hope! 😀 7y

Cinfhen That‘s probably true @DivineDiana and I agree @ScientistSam LOTS of brain freeze but still it‘s a scary indicator @Mdargusch @Weaponxgirl @BarbaraBB 7y

GripLitGrl Good grief!😬😵 7y

CarolynM Oh...... {shakes head sadly}😢 7y

Centique I think if someone asked me that question so many titles would flood into my head, I‘d probably pop a gasket or something. 🤯🤯🤯 7y

Cinfhen That‘s true @Centique last night I asked both my hubby & son to name the first book that popped into their mind; son said “Lord of The Flies” and hubby said “To Kill A Mockingbird” and when they asked me I said “I don‘t know, maybe Gone With the Wind” 😂 (edited) 7y

Cinfhen It‘s hard to think on the spot @GripLitGrl @CarolynM but still... those people seemed honestly clueless!!! 7y

rockpools Wow, that's depressing! 7y

Mdargusch That is so funny @Cinfhen and a little bit shocking that GWTW popped into your head! It is so unforgettable 😁 7y

Cinfhen I thought you‘d appreciate that @Mdargusch #OhScarlett 💚🙌🏻 7y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks The librarian couldn‘t name a book?!?! Whaaatttt?!?! 😩😩 It pained me to watch that!! 7y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen EXACTLY!!!! 7y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Trashcanman yes!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 7y

Bookzombie I would have just pulled the book I was reading out of my purse. 😉 7y

Cinfhen Yeeeesssss!!!!! @Bookzombie 🙌🏻💕 7y

Cinfhen That librarian obviously had a BIG BRAIN FART @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 7y

Reviewsbylola I was hoping it was just the fact they were put on the spot. I‘m always bad when that happens. 😬 7y

Thoughts, Littens?

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/feb/02/publishers-call-on-man-booker-priz...

DreesReads I agree with them. I liked it better before the change. Now it seems like the same books get nominated for all the big prizes and that‘s silly and boring. 7y

readordierachel That's very interesting. Hey, if it's detracting from the diversity of the nominees/awardees, then by all means keep the US out. We have plenty of awards already. 7y

RowReads1 It doesn‘t bother me at all. It‘s what I‘m use to. Americans have only been considered for about four years now. Of course, I‘m not a writer. 7y

GarthRanzz But they need to not just pick on the US if they‘re going to do it. I don‘t like seeing the same books win every prize but to just exclude American authors who won two of the last four years since the change is a little drastic to me. (edited) 7y

Rachbb3 @GarthRanzz I agree. 7y

alisiakae I also liked it better before the change. Last year, I think 3 of the 6 shortlist authors were American, which was disappointing. Nothing against my fellow Americans, but I always liked the Booker Prize because it introduced me to new authors I likely otherwise wouldn‘t have found, like Arundhati Roy and Keri Hulme. 7y

diovival 🤔 7y

CarolynM I think there are other prizes that are just for UK authors (Costa?) And other countries have their own, so there's no real need for the Booker to be as restricted as it was. It's a shame the Commonwealth Writer's Prize has gone, though. 7y

Becker There are so many great American books but as their Canadian neighbour, I must say we are flooded with American titles. I much prefer hearing about lesser known authors (at least to me). It is a bit disappointing to see the same big American authors over and over. Having said that...I loved Lincoln in the Bardo and was glad it won.🤷‍♀️ 7y
