Help Me | Litsy

Help Me | Rosina Davies

Is anyone else having an issue of no photos showing up on litsy at all? I can‘t even see people‘s profile pics or my own posts, just grey squares. When I log in online everything‘s fine though it‘s just my phone.

Is that just me?

catiewithac That‘s how my app is too. It works on a browser. 1y

Birdsong28 Yes it's been happening since yesterday I did 2 reports by shaking my phone 📚📖 1y

DivineDiana Yes! 😕 1y

BooksCoffeeNurse I thought it was just me! What is going on! 😱 1y

AmyG Yep. So now I am trying to get used to Litsy.com. 1y

BarbaraBB Yes but they are working on it! 1y

vonnie862 Yes! Here I thought I needed to upgrade my phone since it is old. 1y

Read4life Yup. I much prefer the app, so I haven‘t read any posts since Monday. Guess I will be using the browser until this is resolved. 1y

IndoorDame @BarbaraBB have they said when they expect it to be back in to normal? 1y

IndoorDame @Birdsong28 what does that mean, shaking your phone? Is that an android thing cause I tried and nothing happened… 1y

Birdsong28 @IndoorDame When you shake your phone two options come one is to report an issue it might just be Android I'm not sure give a good shake as sometimes it doesn't come up straight away 1y

Megabooks They are working on it. You can go to Onward Litsy on Facebook or look at @timspalding ‘s post here. @catiewithac @birdsong28 @divinediana @bookscoffeenurse @vonnie862 @read4life (edited) 1y

ju.ca.no According to the facebook group they are aware and working on it as fast as they can🤗 1y

Can someone help me? My Litsy crashed so I had to uninstall it, and now I can't find the app in the google play store to reinstall the phone app. I'm using my phone to contact the site online, but it's not as good as the app. If anyone knows how I can reload the phone app, I'd appreciate the help. Otherwise, I don't know if I'll be around much anymore
Thank you for the help.

MommyWantsToReadHerBook Shit. It's not in the play store on my side either. What is going on?? 1y

EclecticBookLover Same here, nothing comes up in the play store. I can see posts, but any post with a picture doesn't display the photo, only the text. 1y

S3V3N Mine crashed too. Your post is the only one I can see. 1y

CatLass007 I‘m sorry, @RamsFan1963, I‘d love to be able to help you, but it sounds like you have an Android phone and I have an iPhone. Do you have any way to contact customer service for the phone you have? Maybe someone can walk you through it. I know that when I‘ve had problems with my phone, I‘ve called customer service for T-Mobile, and they‘ve connected me to Apple. Who‘s your carrier? 1y

CatLass007 Also, pictures on my Litsy feed aren‘t showing up either. It could be a Litsy issue. 1y

RamsFan1963 @MommyWantsToReadHerBook @EclecticBookLover @S3V3N So I guess it's not my phone but a problem with the site in general. Last night, I could look at the site but no pictures would come up, then today the who site wouldn't open on my phone. I don't know why Litsy is missing from the Google Play store.
This is so frustrating!!! 1y

MommyWantsToReadHerBook @RamsFan1963 well it definitely makes me not want to need to uninstall. What a mess. Are you on that Litsy group on Facebook for what it's worth? 1y

JenReadsAlot @CatLass007 Mine aren't either! 1y

RamsFan1963 Something is seriously wrong with the Litsy app. I tried to download it from the Amazon app store and it said it could not install at this time 1y

RamsFan1963 @MommyWantsToReadHerBook @EclecticBookLover @S3V3N @CatLass007 I FINALLY got Litsy reinstalled on my phone. I had to go through the Amazon App store. I'm still having the problem of not seeing images, but that a site problem from what I hear. Hopefully it will be fixed soon 1y

rwmg I've got pictures back now 1y

MommyWantsToReadHerBook @RamsFan1963 so glad! 1y

CatLass007 I‘m glad you were able to get Litsy reinstalled on your phone. I didn‘t even know Amazon has an App Store. 1y

EclecticBookLover Glad you got it back! Hopefully they will fix the other issues soon. 1y

Megabooks I‘ve read from other users that the Litsy app is no longer available in Google Play. LT has not been responsive as far as I‘ve read in sharing why. Rn I‘m typing this from a browser window on my phone using litsy.com, but it is not perfect here either but much better than on my app. That‘s what I‘d recommend. Using a browser app on your phone and logging into litsy.com there. Sorry I‘m not of more help. 1y

RamsFan1963 @Megabooks Yeah it's weird, if I go to Litsy.com I can see the pictures, but not on the phone app. Hopefully they'll get this glitch fix quickly. I'm guessing more people use the app than access the site from litsy.com 1y

S3V3N @RamsFan1963 Thanks for the update. 1y

The_Penniless_Author Thanks for the updates. I'm having the same issue with not seeing pictures (on the app; haven't tried the website lately), but at least I know now it's not just me. 1y

Zoes_Human I have Apple devices and the situation is similar. In the app on my tablet and phone, I can see posts but not the pictures that go with them. The website works fine on my laptop. However, Litsy IS available in the App Store for Apple products. However, when you try to login after a reinstall, you get the message “This app is not accessible right now and the app developer is aware of the issue. You will be able to log in when the app is reactivate 1y

CrystalE02 I have been using the website for a couple of weeks now because I can't find the app on the Google play store and had to create a new account because mine was set through my Facebook account. 1y

RamsFan1963 @CrystalE02 I had to go to the Amazon App store because Litsy wasn't available on Google Play store anymore. You can download it from there 1y

Bookwomble @Megabooks @CrystalE02 I don't really understand the tech stuff, but message 18 in this thread from Library Thing has a workaround for installing the Litsy app onto an Android device. Hope it's helpful 🙂 https://www.librarything.com/topic/349351 1y

mandarchy Thank you for this conversation! I just figured out how to get Litsy on my new phone. I had to download the 2017 version, but it's better than none at all. 1y

Did anyone have an recommendation that is in interesting and upbeat. I'm feeling really down and I could use some positivity. I feel so alone. I just felt like I wanted to share that with the void.

EvieBee I‘m sorry you‘re feeling that way. I get like that sometimes. I recommend this

Love & Saffron: a novel of friendship, food, and love

BookLineNSinker @EvieBee thank you so much for that recommendation. I just get down sometimes and what better way to implement self-care than to read :) 3y

Yuki_Onna I'm so thinking about you. As somebody with severe depressions and another serious mental health condition, I think I know a bit of what you feel. I'm in the middle of a group dinner of friends of my darling boo, and I feel so alone and empty and dosconnected as well... Hit me up, if you like. I'm here for you.

LiteraryinPA I‘m really sorry you‘re having a hard time. I totally get it. One of the books that got me out of a time like that was

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill

LiteraryinPA For some reason another comfort genre for me is Agatha Christie mysteries. Maybe because it‘s something where everything reliably wraps up the way it‘s supposed to at the end. 3y

Julsmarshall Thinking of you and sending hugs. I really enjoyed The Thursday Murder Club. I felt immersed in the story right away and it was funny and sweet and kept me reading.

The Thursday Murder Club

jlhammar Books are such a comfort. Hope you can find a few to lift your spirits. I thought this one was fun and heartwarming.

Hi all! I joined a reading group where we are sorted into one of the houses at Hogwarts (teams), I need to tell them my preference, but I can‘t decide between Ravenclaw & Slytherin. All the quizzes, when I answer honestly, sort me into Ravenclaw, but my very favorite character, who I am madly in love with, is a Slytherin! So I can‘t decide!

Which house would you choose? Please help me decide!!!

LinesUponAPage Isn‘t the point of being sorted not to go to the house your crush is in but where you will thrive? I think you should go to your sorting house. Then again you can take a chance on love! 😆 (edited) 5y

AkashaVampie i would say Ravenclaw sweetie!!! 5y

Butterfinger I understand @AsYouWish I would want to go with Snape too. I remember our villain talk during Isle of the Lost read. 5y

AsYouWish @Butterfinger I do love my villains! They make the most interesting characters, and Lucius is certainly interesting! Although, I love Luna too and she is a Ravenclaw. 5y

AsYouWish @AkashaVampie That is what I am leaning towards. 5y

AsYouWish @Lifeisasnap That is true, love can be so distracting! I think I am leaning towards my sorted house of the wonderful Ravenclaw. 5y

LinesUponAPage Whatever you decide. Enjoy the fun! 5y

AsYouWish @Lifeisasnap Awww... Thank you! I am excited, I am hoping it will help me get through more books on my TBR list, although I am guessing it will just add more to it!! 5y

TheBookStacker I‘m a ravenclaw with a hint of slytherin as well 5y

AsYouWish @TheBookStacker When I take the quizzes, if I am honest with my answers I am a Ravenclaw, but if I try to sway my answers a certain way it leads me to Slytherin. So in a weird way I have characteristics of a Slytherin too!! 5y

TheBookStacker I don‘t think anybody is straight up one or the other i think everybody is a combination of some with more of one than the other but not 100% of one house. It‘s just whatever your majority is. 5y

Okay #booked2019 people. I only have four prompts left. And this is my last challenge to complete for the year.. but I am COMPLETELY STUMPED on what to read for these.
Any great recommendations? I don't even know if I know what “Political Intrigue“ means, lol.
The two books I am currently reading both have characters that struggle with addictions in some form or another, but I wouldn't say they are ABOUT addiction..

AmyG I would say...use some leeway if you need to. My political intrigue was a thriller about people who worked for the President. For a soldier‘s story...one of the characters was a soldier. Don‘t we all have a story? 🤷🏻‍♀️ (edited) 5y

emtobiasz Hasn‘t Alan Gratz written some middle grade/YA about soldiers? I remember this one getting a lot of buzz:

Grenade

Kaila-ann Soldier‘s story

The Things They Carried

Dry: A Memoir

Scochrane26 Or Dopesick is good. I did audio 5y

hes7 I‘m planning to read Hey, Kiddo for addiction and The Winter Soldier for soldier‘s story. (Beyond the Point is good, too, but long.) 5y

It is September 8th and I have finished ONE book. And I don‘t even really have another in progress other than my audiobook. Yikes!! I need to find something good to read quick. I have tried starting a few but nothing has really sucked me in.

BarbaraBB Have you read this one? I read it recently and literally flew through it!

Where'd You Go, Bernadette: A Novel

MelissaSue81 @BarbaraBB - yes. Read it last year. Super fun read! I think I‘m in the mood for something like that but most of my current TBR stack is more serious/literary. 5y

charl08 Have you read

Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

charl08 Also love Lissa Evans who is really funny.

Their Finest Hour And A Half

RenePenn This was a fun #RomCom if you are in the mood for something light

The Unhoneymooners

MelissaSue81 @charl08 - I am certain that I downloaded this sheet (its a google sheet but you could export it to excel, but I like that I can access it anywhere) from BookRiot at the beginning of the year, but I CANNOT for the life of me find the link to it anymore! Its driving me crazy! Maybe they'll post a new one for next year?

Its got tabs for the graphs and also tracking several challenges. 5y

MelissaSue81 @charl08 - So I even went back to where I had shared the link to it on my FB and the link says Page Not Found so they must have taken it down. Weird.

Sometimes you desperately need to share, and tonight is one of those times, and Litsy is the place I most feel comfortable doing so.

Our daughter Alice, who is the person who introduced me to Litsy (and those of you who know us well know her Litsy handle which I‘m specifically not using) and her husband are divorcing. She and her son moved in with us at the beginning of April, and we‘re adjusting to a new normal. We‘re managing, but—⬇️

Lynnsoprano Those who have been our friends for a while know that she‘s had some serious medical challenges. And the past couple of weeks, she‘s been dealing with dental issues. Today, her kidney stone problems resurfaced. We‘re just all (Alice, hubby, and me) really rocked by all this and feeling in the need of some support. Prayers, positive vibes, whatever would be really appreciated. 6y

Rachel.Rencher @Lynnsoprano Oh no I am so so sorry. 😞 Hang in there. I know how hard situations like this can be, but it always gets better. ❤❤ I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts. 6y

So it‘s been a while since I‘ve bought a bunch of books together (I‘ve been buying them one at a time here and there for a little while) ANYWHOOO BookOutlet had some great finds and books that‘s I‘ve been wanting for fairly cheap, but I unfortunately stacked my cart up to 56 books, and “1” is actually a 4 book series😅😅😅💀💀 Should I take the plunge and just go for it?!?!

I need some input on the bookshelf quilt I'm designing. I have a list of books I want to include - matching fabric colors to covers & embroidering some titles. I've got the second shelf planned with Harry Potter & GoT series. What colors would you use for the shelf & background? I'm thinking dark grey for shelves and light grey for b.g. Also I want to include Outlander but the paperback colors are awful. Is there a prettier set of those?

JoScho I think the greys would be great in the background. 6y

tammysue I agree. 6y

LibrarianRyan I think the greys could be lovely and unexpected since most would choose browns. Unfortunately Outlander has been pretty consistent with its covers. It only got new covers for the TV show. 6y

See All 6 Comments

Traci1 @LibrarianRyan I kind of figured that was the case with Outlander. The covers aren't awful individually, but they kind of clash a bit with each other and Echo in the Bone especially is going to stick out like crazy. 6y

LibrarianRyan @Traci1 oh yeah. Another lady and I are working on Turing specific book covers into quilts for a special project at work. 6y

Traci1 @LibrarianRyan I hope you'll post photos of your project! 6y

vkois88 I found some cute harry potter on joann.com & I think amazon had some too. Joann's also has comic book characters. I haven't necessarily seen books themselves, but I'll keep an eye out for you 7y

Craftylikefox Fabric.com has tons of options!!! The prices and quality are good 7y

RainyDayReading I‘ve never bought from them before, but I know Spoonflower.com carries tons of bookish and fandom options (at least last I looked) you could always check fabric on Etsy as well. I‘ve found some cool stuff that way! 7y

LibrarianRyan Spoon flower but it looks like you have already been there. 7y

LibrarianRyan @Traci1 traci that fabric is on spoonflower. And you can have the print done on like 20 types of fabric. They have some really good ones. And some really ugly ones too. 7y

LibrarianRyan @RainyDayReading I bought from spoonflower for my #makerswap and I loved it. I bought like 6!different prints. 7y

Traci1 @vkois88 thanks. I looked and they have a Marauder's Map print that's great. ☺ 7y

Traci1 @RainyDayReading @LibrarianRyan I've heard of Spoonflower but never used them. It looks like they have some great options. Thanks! 7y

Traci1 @Craftylikefox I just looked and they have several that look like they could work. Thank you. ☺ 7y

Traci1 @LibrarianRyan how are they on shipping times. Amazon has spoiled me. 7y

LibrarianRyan It's custom printed when you order. It took about a week. I ordered the basic fabric and didn't like it until I washed it. 7y

Traci1 @LibrarianRyan @RainyDayReading OMG you guys just got me in so much trouble. They have Jane Austen fabric! JANE AUSTEN!! Oh it's so pretty. I'm going to be so broke, but it will be worth it because it is SO pretty. 😍 7y

Traci1 @LibrarianRyan have you ever gotten the Kona cotton? I used to get Kona solids that were really good quality, and I'm assuming that's what it's printed on? 7y

Clare-Dragonfly Spoonflower is where I would look too! What are you going to make? 😃 7y

Melissa_J I was also going to suggest spoonflower. I bought Jane Austen wrapping paper from there but they are mostly known for fabrics. 7y

Traci1 @Clare-Dragonfly I'm planning on some book sleeves to start. Then maybe a little purse or two. I honestly don't know. But I used to sew all the time. Then my 3 year old came along, and I haven't since he was born. So I'm just wanting to get back to it. 7y

Traci1 @Melissa_J I have a feeling that site is going to be dangerous. 😄 7y

arubabookwoman eQuilter.com has about 3 pages of book-themed fabric. Most seem to relate to kids books though, I.e. Dr. Seuss etc. 7y

Ok Canadian Kindle users I need help!! I want to send some ebooks as gifts but Amazon is being a jerk. I don't see a gift option when I go to purchase, do I have to add the recipient into my devices in order to send them a book? I dont even see how to do that. I'm so lost. Help!!!

tournevis I've never done it either. Is your receipiant in the US or Canada? 7y

Kaye I‘m sorry, not from Canada. My go-to help is always Amazon chat. If you got to the bottom right on your screen, last word is Help. Click that, it takes you to topics, then in the right, it says Need more Help ? Click on that, and Contact us, then fill out the form to do a live chat. That‘s where I get all my amazon questions answered. Good luck. 👍 7y

FantasyChick @tournevis my recipient is in US so I originally tried to send through my US account but it won't allow Kindle options to be bought outside the country. It doesn't appear that Canada has a gift option at all which is annoying. I may have to resort to an egift card which sucks. Why can't we have the same options!!!! 7y

FantasyChick Thanks @Kaye maybe I'll try the chat option before I give up. I've tried just about everything else. 😊 7y

Kaye Hope it helps. I chat with them so often, I think we are best friends. 😁 7y

tournevis @FantasyChick Yeah, from what I can see in the forums I just goggled you would need a US credit card to do that. E-gift cards maybe? 7y

FantasyChick @tournevis looks like that's the option I'm going to have to take. I tried @Kaye s suggestion and used the chat(which I never think of) and they informed me that Canada does not have the option to gift ebooks. Sucks. 7y

Kaye Doggone. That‘s too bad. At least you got your answer even though it‘s not what you wanted to hear. Did you ask them to please consider adding that feature ? I usually ask if they don‘t do something I wish they did. I‘m STILL asking that Audible make gift cards like Amazon has but so far no luck. I‘ll keep asking. 7y

FantasyChick @Kaye they did send me an email after my chat to say that it is something they will be working on as lots of people have requested the option. It would be nice to have so hopefully they do. It's frustrating knowing that there are options out there that you can't access. I also have a US account that i use to ship direct, but again no kindle option. Maybe someday 😊 they did inform me that I can send gift cards so I'll do that 😊😊 7y

In related news to my last post — I really want a good spy thriller / secret manuscript type book. I very much disliked the Meltzer and Rollins I‘ve tried in the last few months.

I have enjoyed Charlie Lovett and Jennifer Lee Carrell in the past, and I loved The Conspiracy of Us trilogy by Maggie Hall. Anyone have something like that to recommend??

EllieDottie I don‘t know if this would count but I love the book I‘m reading right now

Need to Know

Dragon I like Daniel Silva‘s novels about an art restorer/spy/assassin , I haven‘t read them all or in order

Hooked_on_books I‘m a 41 year old surgeon and recently introduced myself to a patient‘s wife, who then said, “You look like a little girl.” Sadly, sexism even comes from other women at times. 😡🙄 7y

Alfoster So flattering but weird😆! 7y

Alfoster @Hooked_on_books But maybe she meant it in a good way and just wasn‘t thinking because of her husband in the hospital?? My new dentist looks like she‘s in high school and I had to stop and think before I commented😍! 7y

brilliantglow I didn't realize you posted this at first and almost tagged you in it thinking "wow that's crazy! What a coincidence that someone else is also traveling while reading law articles"???? 7y

Hooked_on_books @Alfoster That‘s a nice thought, but her tone said otherwise. I‘ve gotten variations of this many, many times. It is what it is. 7y

Alisnazzy @brilliantglow Hahahaha!!!! 7y

Alfoster @Hooked_on_books Then it must be hard not to have some snarky remark like, “Don‘t you wish you were this smart?” Sorry you have to deal with this😫! 7y

Johanna414 I‘ve been employed by 2 different school districts since I was 25 and have been mistaken for a student in both... it gets old, doesn‘t it? 7y

mrsmarch In other news, this guy totally thought he was going to hit on a high school aged girl tonight. 😡 I hope he gets scorpions in his house slippers. 7y

CouronneDhiver Haha! Omg. Happens to me all the time. 7y

Kaye I‘ll trade you guys places . Wait til they start calling you Ma‘am or Hun.....can I help you carry your groceries to the car ? If some geezer hit on me, I‘d wish for 🦂 scorpions In his underpants. Hit ‘em where it hurts. 7y

Lynnsoprano Read this to your father, and he‘s 🤣 7y
