I hesitate to mark my posts as containing spoilers. Does that keep some people from viewing the posts, I wonder. Of course, I don't post spoilers in the first place but I do find that I personally skip over posts that are marked that way. Just wondering...

Enchanted_Bibliophile I also tend to skip anything marked as spoilers, except if I've read the book already. 3w

boozybookworm @Enchanted_Bibliophile That makes perfect sense 2w

Last night I started a book at 1:45 am (insomnia is the worst). Would you count it as Saturday or Sunday for your start?

Eggbeater It's technically Sunday. I hope you're able to sleep better tonight. I sympathize. 4mo

ShananigansReads @Eggbeater thank you. If I haven‘t slept I tend to count it as the same day. Sundays always include a sleeping pill so I get one good night of sleep a week. 😉 4mo

Happy New Year, Littens! I have a question for my bibliophile friends. I‘ve been using Goodreads to track my reading progress. But I listen to many, many audiobooks and Goodreads only tracks pages read. Also in Goodreads, there is no way to record DNF books. I‘m looking for a single app that tracks both. If y‘all have any suggestions, please share them with me. Happy New Year!!🎉🍾🥳

ravenlee Have you tried StoryGraph? You can select your format for whatever you‘re reading, there‘s an option to quit a book (and they just added a “pause” option for taking a break but coming back to it), and some other cool stuff, too. I use it online, not as an app, though. 8mo

JamieArc I use StoryGraph too. I think there‘s an option to track percentage done - that‘s what I do for audiobooks, and just choose the audiobook edition to track whatever I‘m reading in StoryGraph. 8mo

CatLass007 @JamieArc @ravenlee Wow! That‘s great. Thank you both. 8mo

Soubhiville Highest recommendations for StoryGraph! I dumped Goodreads, SG does so much more. 8mo

CatLass007 @Soubhiville Thank you. That seems to be the consensus. 8mo

rwmg I'm already on Litsy (duh!) and LT, but I am curious about StoryGraph. Most people seem to have good things to say about it but I don't want it to eat into actual reading time too much
8mo

CatLass007 @rwmg I agree. I don‘t want to spend a lot of time tracking my reading instead of reading. 8mo

TheBookgeekFrau Happy New Year! 🥂📚 8mo

Deblovestoread Happy New Year! 🎆🎇🎆. Storygraph is fantastic for tracking audio books. 8mo

BookmarkTavern Happy New Year! 🎉🍾🎊 And adding in my support for StoryGraph! 8mo

Larkken I do wish Storygraph tracked dnfs as books finished. But otherwise I love it too 🥰 8mo

CatLass007 @TheBookgeekFrau @Deblovestoread @BookmarkTavern @Larkken Thank you all so much. I‘ve got the app and I‘m doing a test drive. 8mo

DogMomIrene I just started using TSG about 2 months ago and love it. The only thing that kind of annoys me is that you can‘t easily switch editions of a book, so when you change a book from “to read” to “currently reading” make sure it‘s the edition you‘re actually reading. Otherwise, if you post a review on a wrong edition, you have to copy/paste and re-answer the questions. GR lets you switch editions and transfers all your data. Hoping TSG updates this one 8mo

Question for all the writers/authors/book lovers out there!

Today I was looking at my WordPress and realized I have 10 stories/books I have started to write, but hit a block on most/all of them and stopped. I really want to work on/finish these stories.

What do you do when you hit a block? Do you try to push through? Do you switch between stories?

Any advice/suggestions are welcome!

Help! Anyone know how to make a template of my favorite books of 2023? I don‘t have the actual books, planning on using Goodreads for pics

LiteraryinPA I use the app Pic Collage and find that really easy to use for simple graphics that include pictures. 2y

IndoorDame How many books are you looking to add to the template? If you use the app PicCollage at all @BarbaraBB shared her super clever trick for getting 23 (plus a label) into such a tidy grid. I think it‘s under her #top23of23 post. I‘ll definitely be using that method in the future! There‘s also an app called PhotoQuilt I‘ve used in the past that works with any number of photos but doesn‘t produce regular grids… 2y

5feet.of.fury I used pic collage app & photos from storygraph 2y

Kappadeemom Thank you all! I used PicCollage and it worked great! 2y

BarbaraBB Thanks @IndoorDame 💜. Indeed I used the Pic Collage app for 4x6 books and then one for those 4 created pictures. 2y

I‘m signed up for a number of buddy reads and I‘m having a difficult time keeping track of them. So I‘m going to list as many as I can, along with the host. Please help me add any In which I‘ve shown an interest or I may have forgotten.

CatLass007 @StayCurious @Librarybelle @BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks @TheSpineView @CBee Can any or all of you help me out? Am I listed on any of the buddy reads of which you belong and I seem to have forgotten? Could any of you please offer suggestions for buddy reads in which I might like to participate or for which I might have forgotten to register. How many of these buddy reads will be taking votes for all of next year? How many will be (cont)⬇️ 2y

CatLass007 taking votes for one month at a time? Anything about buddy reads I might have forgotten to ask? I think I remember seeing a post for October that‘s #Scaretathalon or something and another that focuses on audiobooks? 2y

TEArificbooks @CatLass007 #scarathlon is a month long reading challenge in October. Go to @Clwojick page to sign up and she will put you on a team. You get points for spooky book you read, ever spooky movie, craft, etc. 2y

TEArificbooks I am the host of #witchathon which is a month long reading challenge in October where you just read at least one witchy book of your choice. No sign up required, you just post and tag me and witchathon when you have read a witchy book. Low key no stress. 2y

CatLass007 @TEArificbooks Thank you so much! I‘m probably not going to join something in which points are given, I don‘t want to push myself beyond my stress levels. I‘m very competitive and I just want Litsy and buddy reads to be my safe place. But #witchathon sounds like fun. I‘m sure I can find one or ten witchy books in my audio library. 2y

StayCurious Hi! I host #pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent where we read books somehow linked to Jane Austen. We vote each month on our next book. Although for October we‘ve decided to read the next book in a series - let me know if you‘d like to join!

The Late Mrs. Willoughby: A Novel

StayCurious I also host #LittensLoveRomance where we read romance books all year long. Each month is a different sub genre and we vote monthly. 2y

5feet.of.fury Do you do #losersclub with @BarkingMadRead ? All the Stephen King in order 2y

Librarybelle Yes, I have your name for the tag list for the rest of 2023 for #LiteraryCrew . I leave it up to everyone if they prefer to be tagged on certain months or if they wish to be tagged each month. It‘s very low key! I will soon open suggestions from the group for 2024 and then open voting. Look for details soon on that! 2y

Librarybelle I am also starting a #NancyDrewBR , where the group reads one Nancy Drew a month in series order. The first discussion of the first book, The Secret of the Old Clock, is November 15th. This coincides with @TheBookHippie ‘s November read of this book for her classic children‘s buddy read group. 2y

TheAromaofBooks I do have you on the #RandomClassics list!! I set the books I'm going to read for the year, and then anyone who wants to read along can do so. Anyone is welcome to skip a month/book that doesn't appeal to them or that they don't want to reread or whatever. Each book is kind of its own thing!! 2y

BarkingMadRead @Librarybelle can you add me to your tag list for Nancy Drew?!? That‘s so cool! 2y

Librarybelle @BarkingMadRead Yes!! 2y

TheBookHippie I do #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD AND #CHILDRENSCLASSICREAD2023 The year changes as we go 2y

CatLass007 @StayCurious I definitely want to join in with #PemberLittens #JaneAdjacent. Please count me in for as long as it lasts. I definitely want to read the second book in the series, and any others that may follow. Lots of different mystery series surrounding Jane and her literary offspring. I‘m not usually a reader of romance, but I‘d still like to be included in your #LittensLoveRomance — because you never know what my mood will be. Thank you.♥️ (edited) 2y

CatLass007 @Librarybelle Please keep including me in the #LiteraryCrew notifications unless I ask you to do otherwise. I grew up reading Nancy Drew, but I don‘t think I‘m ready for a reread . Thank you for your answers to my questions and thank you for hosting! 2y

CatLass007 @TheAromaofBooks Please keep me on the #RandomClassics list. One of the cool things about this list is that so many are free either through Libby as library books or are included with my Audible membership. 2y

CatLass007 @TheBookHippie please keep me on your list for the #SundayBuddyRead. I wasn‘t able to participate this month because I already overcommitted. 2y

CatLass007 @5feet.of.fury I was in at the beginning with #losersclub and the #TerryPratchett buddy reads. That was back when there was a lot of upheaval in my life and I became overwhelmed with everything. I don‘t really want to start back with either of those buddy reads. No particular reason. 2y

CatLass007 @StayCurious @Librarybelle @BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks @TheSpineView @CBee @TEArificbooks @5feet.of.fury @TheBookHippeie Thank you all for answering my questions! I just have one more. Is anyone hosting a #GraphicNovel buddy read? 2y

Deblovestoread I sign up for many buddy reads and keep a reading journal to keep them all straight. It‘s not fancy but it helps keep me on track. Just the name, the host and the list of books by month. Good luck 😊 2y

CatLass007 @Deblovestoread Thank you. I keep a journal of what I want to read and for whichever buddy read they belong to. Adding the name of the host might come in handy. I also have a journal of what I‘ll be needing to buy or check out of the library. Books that are already in my Audible library get added to my TBR journal, especially if they are part of a buddy read. 2y

TheAromaofBooks I definitely have you on the #RandomClassics list!! I'm not sure if anyone is doing an official graphic novel buddy read of any kind - they aren't my usual thing so I don't pay very close attention. 2y

CatLass007 @TheAromaofBooks Thanks for making sure I‘m on the #RandomClassics notification list. And thanks for the info about a graphic novel group. Oh, well… 2y

What should I read??? Completely uninspired by everything right now.

I like memoir, nonfiction, and some fiction but I‘m not sure how to further specify which kinds—I‘m not big on sci fi, fantasy, or horror, but like most others.

What have you loved recently??

Blueberry My moods have been shifting alot lately also. I have been switching around between mystery, nonfiction, feel good, favorite authors, ... 3y

Graywacke I really wish I had a good answer for you. Slumpy reading moods stink. 😕 3y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick My preferred memoirs are by celebrities but A Very Punchable Face by SNL's Colin Jost was cute & Dancing with Myself by Billy Idol had some great moments. If you're an audiobook listener, both of these were great! 3y

jenniferw88 If you don't mind the occasional f-word, I'm currently listening to this, and she's hilarious 😂

This Much is True

bibliothecarivs My first thought was this one, which blurs the lines between memoir and fiction.

Unquiet

bibliothecarivs I also recently gave 5 stars to Educated by Westover (memoir), The Last Duel by Jager (history), Matrix by Groff (historical fiction), and Uprooted by Lyon (folklore/nature/memoir). 3y

fredthemoose @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Awesome! Thank you! I‘ve been “aware” of both of those, but neither made it into the immediate TBR, but I‘ll add them! 3y

Anyone like this? I‘m not for several reasons, one of which is that if the series is already 8 plus books deep I find it overwhelming and am less likely to start. I find it frustrating bc some of my favorite series have ended prematurely bc there wasn‘t enough interest at the time of publication for the series to be “lucrative” enough to continue publishing.
Do you worry about series ending early for lack of interest? Genuinely curious.

Avanders Same! I definitely don‘t need a series to be done before diving in… but yes, I also worry, esp when it‘s really good, about it not continuing!! Glad that‘s not true for Sanderson 😁😁

I have a question--on your profile page if you click the book symbol there is a list of books you've added or noted over the years-a "wishlist" of sorts.
How do you remove a book on this list? I'm trying to update and want to remove books I've now read or am no longer interested in. Thanks!

Nute Go to the actual page for the book and change the symbol to “read” or if wanting to delete touch the “to read” symbol so that it clears and then save. That should remove it from your Litsy Wishlist. 4y

MommyOfTwo @wanderinglynn it says it in parentheses by a book that I‘m looking to order. 4y

wanderinglynn Weird. I have no idea. Unless it‘s some kind of internal bookseller message. @howjessicareads is a bookseller, maybe she knows. Jess, any ideas? 4y

howjessicareads I wish I knew! @wanderinglynn. My guess would be some sort of internal “how to display” message. But since my bookstore is mostly used, we don‘t do much ordering. 4y

I know I'm not the first to ask, but I've never taken notes when others have asked.

Favorite audiobook narrators? I don't listen to much, because my mind tends to wander. I am much more likely to listen to non-fiction/memoir on audio, but I am absolutely up for some good audio suggestions. And I know that a good performer makes all the difference.

Question on #booked2021, since this is my first year participating: I‘ve been trying to read the prompts in season order, sticking to just Winter prompts for these first three months. But the book I‘m reading now meets one of the Summer prompts. Can I count it, or do I need to find another book to read in the July-September quarter?

Litsy - I‘d like your opinion. I have a book that is good, just really slow. It‘s 480 pages and in 2 + weeks, I‘ve only managed to get to page 134. Meanwhile, I have 9 other books I wanted to read this month and can‘t start. Would you keep going or put it aside, knowing you‘ll probably have to start over from the beginning later?(For perspective, I read 2 books last week in 3 days that were 416 pages each.)

mom2bugnbee A... And maybe don't ever read it. *gasp* Unpopular opinion? Life is too short to read books you don't like! 5y

DGRachel @mom2bugnbee That‘s the problem-I do like it, it‘s just really hard for me to read more than 6-10 pages at a time before I zone out or start to fall asleep. It‘s well written and interesting, but not immersive, if that makes sense. 5y

MsMelissa I‘m with @mom2bugnbee 👍🏻 5y

TheBookAddict A 5y

Q84 Perhaps, if you are still interested read those few pages daily but read something else also. I do that sometimes. You don't want to force yourself to keep going if you're not in the mood for the book though because it could send you into a reading slump. @mom2bugnbee is right. It took me a long time to realize. 5y

DGRachel @Q84 @MsMelissa @mom2bugnbee Oh, I have no problem bailing on a book that I am not enjoying, unless it‘s for my work book club, which I moderate. I probably DNF 10-20 books each year. 🤪 5y

AmyG I know, for me, if I am reading a book but keep wanting to put it down to read something else...then maybe it‘s not the right time to read that book. 5y

TiminCalifornia Option A. I recently returned to a book I set aside in 2015 and flew through it. It‘s a mood thing. 5y

DGRachel @TiminCalifornia Oh wow! That definitely gives me hope for this book and that setting it aside is the right thing to do. 5y

GingerAntics I‘d say mix in another book. It might make it easier to get through. 5y

DogMomIrene A. Sounds like it may not be a book to read now. 5y

Megabooks It sounds like it may be the wrong time for this one. I‘d put it aside. 5y

DGRachel @GingerAntics I‘ve been trying to do that, but I think the lack of progress is frustrating and counterproductive, and since the feedback has been almost unanimous, I feel pretty good about setting it aside and trying again later. 5y

DGRachel @AmyG @DogMomIrene @Megabooks Thanks! I‘m going to set it aside and try again later. ☺️ 5y

GingerAntics @DGRachel yeah, if mixing in other things isn‘t helping, I‘d set it aside. That‘s probably the best choice. Like someone else said, I‘ve struggled to get through a few pages of something, but when I returned later I flew through it. 5y

I‘m prepping for my February TBR, and trying to pick a Zadie Smith book for #AuthorAMonth.

I didn‘t love Swing Time, and haven‘t read any of Smith‘s other work. Was considering White Teeth, which is a chunkster.

Which book would you recommend, Litsy?

Laughterhp Those are the only 2 books I have of hers... and I haven‘t been able to get into either 🤦‍♀️ 5y

Hestapleton I would suggest the tagged. I haven‘t read it, but it‘s short sooooo

Intimations: Six Essays

AmyG I enjoyed White Teeth but it was a very slow read that didn‘t come together for me until the end. Maybe try another one. I am reading On Beauty, but I just started so I don‘t have an opinion yet. 5y

JackOBotts I agree with @Hestapleton. The tagged was inspired by and written in the early days of the COVID pandemic. I read it quickly & thought it was well done.

Intimations: Six Essays

KathyWheeler I really liked On Beauty. 5y

xicanti If you‘re in the mood for essays, I recently read, loved, and recommend

Feel Free: Essays

Amandajoy I enjoyed On Beauty more than Swing Time. I have White Teeth on my shelf & may try to read it next month. 5y

readordierachel Seconding the rec for Feel Free. That's my favorite of hers. 5y

dariazeoli Thanks @Laughterhp @Hestapleton @AmyG @JackOBotts @KathyWheeler @xicanti @Amandajoy - I think I might start with Intimations since it‘s short and see if I like that one. 5y

Megabooks I enjoyed Intimations. I am going to try her short stories because I picked them up as a kindle deal and I like short stories.

Grand Union: Stories

dariazeoli @Megabooks I was looking at that one as well. Definitely a lot to choose from! 5y

sprainedbrain I‘m reading On Beauty... I also wasn‘t crazy about Swing Time, nor did I like White Teeth. 😬 5y

I'm thinking of asking for a Book of the Month subscription for Christmas.

Looking for feedback. Do you love it? Just okay with it? What do you think?

Texreader I have no input since I‘ve never subscribed but I love the idea and have thought of asking for it on occasion. 5y

JamieArc I love it. My recommendation is to go check out what options they have offered each month. If you are drawn to any of them, go for it! I have read some really great books that I wouldn‘t have discovered elsewhere, and also able to get some of my favorite authors‘ book for much less money I would have spent elsewhere. 5y

Ruthiella I say DO IT since it is a gift! Give it a try and don‘t continue if you don‘t like it. 😀 Full disclosure: I am not a subscriber. 5y

Patchshank You can look through the past books and see if they have a decent selection of the types of books you like to read. If it seems like there's a lot of books then yeah go for it. If you do subscribe you are allowed to skip months that don't have books that interest you. They just don't bill you until you do pick a book. As far as I know you can skip as many months as you want. 5y

Questions and Questioning | Michel Meyer

I have a question. Is there a way to change the description of a book in Litsy's database? The reason I ask, I have a book called Hotel Andromeda, and the blurb describing the storyline is totally wrong. I was just curious if there was any way I could edit this or bring it to Litsy's attention. No big deal, just one of those little annoyances of life that bugs me until I have to fix it lol.

Buechersuechtling I‘d try the “Suggest a book”-function you reach when you search the database, scroll to the end of the entries and then tap on that link saying “Can‘t find what you‘re looking for?” 🤷🏽‍♀️ 5y

Buechersuechtling I don‘t know if there is a more special feature if you use Litsy on a desktop computer. I‘m only using the app on my phone. 5y

RamsFan1963 @Buechersuechtling I tried what you suggested, we will see what happens. So far, no book I've ever added through that feature has appeared in Litsy's database. 5y

Buechersuechtling @RamsFan1963 Same here. Reassuring to find out I‘m not the only one. I have my fingers crossed for you. (I mean, someday one of us must be successful. Statistics, you know. 🤷🏽‍♀️) 5y

What‘s your favorite blog platform? Have you tried several? I‘m using Wordpress, and I‘m looking into a new website with a blog as the main thingy. Wondering if there are better options out there.

HannaPolkadots I use wordpress too, not for a personal blog, but I have a teacher blog my students use quite a lot. Been really happy with wordpress 🙂 5y

BookwormM I used to love Wordpress but now they have changed format to blocks I find it very labour intensive to update. Blogger is good because anyone can like and comment don‘t need to have an account unlike word press. 5y

Tove_Reads @BookwormM Yup, agree. Not liking blocks. Taking forever. I had Blogger years ago. Agree that it‘s convenient when it‘s not connected to having your own blog. 5y

BookwormM Glad it‘s not just me 🤣🤣I am now writing blog in word and copying and pasting to Wordpress 5y

Tove_Reads @BookwormM I‘ve actually always done that. Want to have a backup system. 5y

Questions and Questioning | Michel Meyer

1) Why don‘t I see my NG reviews in my read-list, and why do I still have the “write a review” option? How can I change this, or can I? 2) Why can‘t NG find some of the ISBNs, and should I let them know about this?
I‘m sure some of you fabulous NetGalley reviewers can help me with these questions! 💡🔋🗝🆖

vlwelser 1. I'm not sure I understand this question. But I don't normally look for books I've already reviewed. Maybe save your reviews somewhere else before posting if you want to use them later. I write mine in goodreads and copy them into netgalley. 2. Not everything is on NG and I'm not sure they all have ISBNs assigned if they are posted pretty early. My best suggestion for this is to search by author. 5y

Tove_Reads @vlwelser I meant that when I write a review on NG and choose the Goodreads option then it doesn‘t attach it to my personal Goodreads account, but I have still reviewed it as me, but doesn‘t show up on my own list and I still have the “write a review” option. 5y

vlwelser I have that "feature" turned on but I'm not sure it does anything. It's supposed to post to your feed. But I don't think it posts an actual review. If it even works. You may need someone that's newer to NG. It was pretty basic when I started. Or send them a help ticket. I would send a help ticket. I'm sure there's a way to do that. 5y

Tove_Reads @vlwelser Now the latest one appeared as it should on GR. Maybe there was a glitch before. 5y

Lately I have been reading a lot of historical fiction and a lot of that have been books with at least two narratives. What I would like to find are historical novels that have only ONE narrative and don't shift between the present and the past or between two or more characters; I am really tired of it. The ones I can think of are historical mysteries, the Outlander series and The Book Thief.

I said when I got up to date in a series or finished one I could start another- so here‘s my current list for recommendations to start. These are all series where I have at least the first 4 in print or kindle. Thoughts from all welcome 👇🏻

TrishB Angela Marsons - Kim Stone. Kate Ellis - Wesley Peterson. John Sandford - Lucas Davenport. Elly Griffiths- Ruth Galloway. Sharon Bolton- Lacey Flint. 5y

squirrelbrain Definitely the first one - love Kim Stone! 5y

swishandflick I vote for Sharon Bolton - I loved that series! So spooky and fascinating. 5y

Cathythoughts I don‘t know any of these ... have fun deciding.. @squirrelbrain I might try a Kim Stone sample 👍🏻❤️ 5y

squirrelbrain Give it a go @Cathythoughts - they‘re often on Kindle for 99p so a bargain series if you like the sample. (edited) 5y

TrishB @swishandflick oh good to hear 👍🏻 5y

TrishB @Cathythoughts they are series that come up on the offers and I get them and just don‘t seem to start them! Although I started counting how many I‘m reading and that wasn‘t good! 5y

Do you read one book at a time or many? I‘m usually one at a time but I‘ve signed up for some May challenges and I‘m wondering how do I this? Is it a chapter a time, a book a day, whatever you feel like at given moment? Would love to know how others do this. Should I have a schedule? Thanks.
Pic is of my cat Pemberley

melissajayne Many at one time; usually I read whatever is pressing first and usually do a combination of books. It also depends on the circumstances why I‘m reading those books; book club books take precedent, then whatever is next due at the library, then whatever readalong I‘m doing at the moment. (edited) 5y

Lcsmcat Pemberly is beautiful! I almost always have multiple books going. Usually they‘re different in some way - print v eBook, fiction v nonfiction, English v French. I read on a schedule only if it‘s for a group, either here or my irl book club. Otherwise it‘s as the mood strikes or the location demands ( no Kindle in the 🛀) 5y

melissajayne If there are none of those circumstances above are going on that I mentioned, then it‘s whatever catches my fancy (edited) 5y

wanderinglynn I‘m like @Lcsmcat. I usually have multiple books going but different formats—usually one audiobook, one e-book, and then one or two physical—so that no matter where I am, I can be reading. I don‘t have a set schedule. Whenever I finish one, I pick up another one in that format. 5y

BethM I just read whatever I feel like at the time. 5y

Lesanne I usually have multiple books going at a time. I don‘t usually have any set schedule but I‘m doing the #Pemberlittens Jane Austen group in which I‘ve decided to read a chapter a day of her books. 5y

Crazeedi I never read more than one at a time till I got "hooked on Litsy"? so now I'd say I have a couple physical or ebooks going at once. Come ccx warm weather, I'll be doing audio when outside in garden 5y

RainyDayReading I always have multiple books going. I just read whatever I‘m in the mood for. Usually if I read one during the day, I‘ll read a different one before bed. It helps me to be reading books of different genres at the same time too. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage I usually read two or three at the same time. Usually one print, one ebook and one audio. Sometimes where I am determines which I read. Sometimes I switch by chapters or just “mood read” among the three. And once I‘m 85% through one, I will really focus just to get it done. Just my thing ... YMMV. 5y

TheAromaofBooks If I'm reading multiple books, it's usually because one is “heavier“ than the other. I tend to leave the heavy book at the table and read it while I eat, while the fluffier read is my companionable read-snatches-here-and-there book haha 5y

Cuilin @melissajayne @Lcsmcat @wanderinglynn @bethm @lesanne @crazeedi @rainydayreading @barabarathebibliophage @thearomaofbooks Thanks for your comments, 🙏I‘ll probably combine a schedule for some books with mood reading for others. 💕 5y

There are two book podcasts that I‘m considering unsubscribing; I have listened to both of them for a considerable amount of time and while they are both excellent shows, I just don‘t enjoy them any longer. Partly it‘s because I‘m enjoying other bookish podcasts more that just really deal with discussing actual books than any sort of bookish news, which I don‘t really care for.

Karkar My podcast tastes have really changed. I used to listen to all the Book Riot podcasts but I do not listen to any of them anymore. 5y

melissajayne @Karkar your comment made me rethink a bunch of other podcasts that I was subscribed to as well. 5y

MallenNC In general I have a hard time keeping up with podcasts along with everything else, so I‘ve dropped some of them out of necessity. 5y

AvidReader25 I tend to prefer audiobooks over podcasts. There are only a couple I make time for. 5y

ravenlee @Hooked_on_books I hope so, too, because I went a little nuts and ordered two sets. 😬 I figured with ten there‘s a better chance of getting something I don‘t already have... or something. Some people panic-buy milk; I panic-buy books. 5y

Ok, a couple days ago I saw an ad on Facebook from an indie bookstore somewhere, offering blind date-type packages of five books for $25. When you order they‘re supposed to ask questions about your fav genres and authors. I want to do it and now I can‘t find the ad, and of course I have no clue what the store is called. Did anybody else see this? Help! None of my FB friends know what I‘m talking about and my google search was useless.

blank I know what you're talking about but I can't remember the name of the store, either! I believe it was in Washington state, though. Idk if that will help your search. 5y

ravenlee @laurenslibrary I was thinking Washington state, too, but my search of WA indie bookstores came up empty. Nothing rings a bell - but finally someone else knows what I‘m talking about! 5y

Hooked_on_books Arg, someone posted on here about that a few days ago but I can‘t remember who! I found this, not sure if it‘s the same one, but it‘s the same idea: https://www.villagebooks.com/village-books-personal-recommendations-request 5y

TheAromaofBooks I hadn't heard of this at all, but if you find out, do let me know as it sounds intriguing! 5y

I need your wisdom 🙂

Texreader I use my iPhone to read ebooks so I can‘t help with advice about devices. But I strongly recommend you go to Bookbub and tell it your fave genres. You receive a daily email of ebooks on sale at most ebook stores (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple etc). I‘ve never seen one that costs more than $2.99. And 99% of the time there is at least one free ebook every day. Enjoy!! 6y

Derf I‘ve only ever used a kindle and loved it. Initially it took a while to get used to. I had the paperwhite and upgraded to the oasis this year ....... I‘d hand my oasis in for a new paperwhite any day of the week though. Get a paperwhite and a decent case and after a month you‘ll be a convert 👍🏻 6y

Moonprismpower Kindles have come a long way plus if you get a case you probably won‘t have trouble holding it? I use my iPad but they can get heavy or overheated and the screen doesn‘t read well in sunlight. I also use my phone for audiobooks. I definitely recommend trying the Libby app through your library. Here the catch, you can recommend unowned titles through the Overdrive website but currently not in the app. But if you do recommend a title , pt 1/2 cont- 6y

Moonprismpower Cont., pt 2/2 you are placed on the hold list if they buy it. Yes digital library titles have a waitlist, it‘s a publisher issue. DON‘T GET A NOOK. 6y

Nessavamusic I‘ve owned a Kindle since generation 2, and I love them. I got an Oasis last year and it‘s been my favorite. It‘s very comfortable to hold and closer to paperback size. (edited) 6y

LauraBeth I had a Kindle in 2010 and hated it bc it seemed so clunky! They‘ve come a LONG way! I decided to try a Kindle again and got a Kindle Paperwhite three years ago and really love it! It‘s small so it‘s always in my bag that I take everywhere. It‘s also easy to read in direct sunlight (unlike my iPad). Plus, it‘s so easy to check out digital copies of library books. I‘ve also dropped it a ton of times bc I‘m clumsy and it still works! 6y

Hestapleton I love my Kindle Paperwhite! I think Best Buy has some on display, so you can hold them and see what you like in your hand. I know some people also put Popsockets on theirs to make them easier to hold, which is brilliant. 6y

sprainedbrain I‘ve had many Kindles... I made the mistake of getting a Fire once, and quickly realized they are meant for tablet usage way more than reading. I switched to Kindle Voyager which I loved (until I accidentally broke it), and now have the Paperwhite, which I also love. It‘s smooth and easy to use. I get most of my ebooks from the library, but do occasionally buy one on Amazon. (edited) 6y

Megabooks I love my kindle paperwhite, but I also love my Flippy (and there are knock offs) that holds it up easily, whether I‘m tired in bed, eating, etc. (I got mine from QVC, I know, but Amazon has better pictures.) https://www.amazon.com/Multi-Angle-Tablets-eReaders-Smartphones-Magazines/dp/B00... 6y

Megabooks I also use my Flippy with hardcover books! Great for supporting the heavy ones. 6y

Megabooks And I get well over half my ebooks from my library‘s e-lending. Overdrive or Libby are what most libraries have. It works well on kindles and kindle apps on phones/tablets. 6y

ljuliel Thanks for your reply . I agree, it‘d be great to have those areas separated if there‘s a way they can do it. 6y

MuddyPuddle Yup, I‘ve backed off because of all the questionnaires and back-and-forth about book swaps. Not so interesting if you‘re just looking for booktalk. 6y

Crazeedi That's a great suggestion!! 6y

ImperfectCJ I, too, like the suggestion to filter/sort book posts separate from questionnaires and swaps. 6y

TheAromaofBooks Yes, if you could filter by review/blurb/quote and added another category for “other“ or some such, that would be quite helpful. For instance, I didn't mind everyone participating in the Halloween contest/points thing, but the amount of posts concerning just that and not actual books was somewhat overwhelming. 6y
