I need a new read. I decided it should be one of my (many) unread BOTM books. This list is of the ones I haven‘t read yet. Which would you chose?

BarbaraJean Circe would be my pick! 5y

Circe

Karisa Whew! You like the heavy stuff! I do too. I would go for Circe if you love Greek mythology, Heart's Invisible Furies for pride month, or American War if in the mood for eerie futurism. 😊 5y

Karisa Oh! Just noticed The Music Shop on there. It's fantastic too. A bit lighter if you need that for summer. Sorry, I'm no help! 🤣 5y

Nute Wow, that is a wonderful list of books from which to choose. I would pick Circe or The Silent Patient and then all the rest!😂 5y

Megabooks The Heart‘s Invisible Furies!! 5y

Megabooks Also Red Clocks is really good! 5y

BookwormAHN Circe, The Anomaly, The Broken Girls, The English Wife and The Night Tiger were all really good 😸 5y

Lcsmcat Circe! 5y

I have NO idea what to read next. My mood isn‘t telling me anything 😬
I pulled these 5 hoping something might stick. They are all pretty different even the two poetry are far different. We shall see.

Litsy, please HELP! What should I read next? I‘ve narrowed it down to these four:
Mary B (library book)
Snap (library & Man Booker Long List)
Mrs Frisby & the Rats of NIMH (PopSugar 2018)
Wicked & the Wallflower (just because I love Sarah MacLean)

I‘m in a major rut and NEED something to devour. #Bailey is no help. 😂 #dogsoflitsy #pitbullsoflitsy

Meghan1 Mrs. Frisby!! 6y

Aimeesue Mrs. Frisby. One of my childhood faves. ❤️ 6y

TrishB Snap 😁 6y

crazyspine Mrs Frisby 6y

Dragon I vote for the romance

Wicked and the Wallflower: Bareknuckle Bastards

LeahBergen Read the first page of each and decide which one grabs you. 😄 6y

MaureenMc Gotta go with Sarah MacLean 😊 6y

Owlizabeth My vote is for Sarah MacLean, she always gets me out of a rut. Just be prepared, this one had a slightly slower beginning than her others in my opinion. 6y

Leftcoastzen Bailey is just so cute! 6y

VeganCleopatra I remember loving Mrs Frisby as a child but haven't reread as an adult. But I'm still voting for that one. 6y

JoScho But Bailey is adorable ❤️ 6y

akckitty Wicked and the wallflower but I‘m partial because I just finished Snap and was disappointed 😔 6y

merelybookish Go Wicked! 6y

emtobiasz Kids books always help me out of a rut, so I‘m voting Mrs. Frisby 6y

DGRachel @Meghan1 @Aimeesue @La_Cori @TrishB @Porcelain_Reviews @Dragon @LeahBergen @MaureenMc @Owlizabeth @VeganCleopatra @akckitty @merelybookish @emtobiasz Thank you all for your input! I started with Mrs. Frisby, but it‘s not working for me tonight, so I switched to Wicked. I think we have a winner...I just stopped here to say thanks! Back to my book, I go!! 6y

DGRachel @Leftcoastzen @JoScho She is a love bug! My heart turns to goo every time I look at her. 😍🐶😍 6y

britt_brooke Bailey, you cutie pie! 💚🐾 6y

Help!! This precious little kitten is ripping up my carpet! I know there are lots of cat lovers here so tips to get her to stop are appreciated! #catsoflitsy

JenReadsAlot @peaknit - wanna trade? 😂 6y

AmyG You have scratching things for her? I had a friend who layed down a big piece cardboard for her cat who used to scratch that. I will say....I learned alot about my cat from googling and reading people‘s ideas about issues. Good luck. (edited) 6y

Mitch Oh no! Ours have a cat pile which they ignore and a square of old carpet which is “theirs” which they love. 6y

JenReadsAlot @AmyG they have lots of scratching posts and use them!! I like the idea of a big piece of cardboard. Thanks! 6y

peaKnit Ha! Kevin likes to chase us on his back legs and bite our shins and calves!😳 we have been trimming his nails, maybe that would help? 6y

JenReadsAlot @peaknit her nails are trimmed- she's naughty! I read cats don't like citrus so I put a few drops of lemon essential oil on the carpet. 6y

peaKnit Woodman‘s has a spray for it as well, we have sprayed it on a chair and it seems to have helped. 6y

#GroupO is looking for a Litten to step in for #LMPBC! One of our members is unable to join in this round, so we thought we‘d see if anyone would like to join last minute!

If you are unfamiliar, it‘s a by mail book club where each member picks a own book and writes notes, highlights, generally marks it up and then sends it along to the next person! We are due to send out the first book by the end of July!

Let me know if you are interested!

suvata, Julie548, WriterAtHeart

parttimedomestic @suvata do you know of anyone who missed sign ups and would like to join? 6y

suvata No but maybe someone will answer your plea. If not, you could always just do it with three people. 6y

BeansPage LMPBC? 6y

parttimedomestic @suvata Thanks, just thought I‘d check! 6y

parttimedomestic @TheReadingMermaid Litsy Markup Postal Book Club! We each pick a book to share with our group of 4 littens. Each month you read a book and take notes in it, then send it to the next person in the group! It‘s a great way to read books you wouldn‘t usually read! 6y

BeansPage Can I give it a try? 6y

parttimedomestic @TheReadingMermaid absolutely! 🎉 Send me an email and I‘ll get you all the details! Valerie.lowens@gmail.com 6y

Julie548 @TheReadingMermaid welcome to Group O!!!! 😊 6y

HELLO! Question for all those who use #netgalley
If you're reading a book you requested and aren't enjoying it AT ALL, at what point (if at all) do you stop? I'm only a chapter into a book I requested and it is terrible. I haven't read anything this bad in my life. 😩
I don't want to put that in a review, however if I don't review it, it will count against my stats. Help!

Kaye I‘m always honest with them. I don‘t torture myself by reading a book I hate. If it‘s not good then you‘re not required to read it. I don‘t leave a bad review on a book I don‘t finish but I do send a note to the publisher telling them I didn‘t complete it and why then thank them for allowing Me the opportunity to try it. I don‘t have time for bad books. (edited) 6y

laurieluna @Kaye thats what I'm thinking. I haven't read much though and I'm having an inner conflict over whether I should give it more of a chance. But the way the author has written the character and the speech is just making my brain itch. Maybe I will let them know. Thanks 😊 6y

JoScho Yeah there is an option not to leave feedback. 6y

DGRachel They ask for honest reviews, so if it‘s so bad that I can‘t finish it (and there have been a couple) I‘m honest about what doesn‘t work for me. I try not to be mean, but I do try to explain what I didn‘t like and note how far I got. 6y

laurieluna @JoScho is there? I'll have a look. Thanks! 😊 6y

laurieluna @DGRachel others seem to really enjoy it! So I definitely think it's more of a 'it's not for me' than anything. X 6y

DGRachel I would say that, too. 6y

batsy I email the publisher if I bail and let them know that it just wasn't for me. There is that option to not review or you could also just leave a brief review saying you didn't finish it because it just wasn't your kind of book, etc. :) 6y

Avanders I try to give it as much as I can.. I'll give it 50 pages or 10% - whichever is longer. I read one where I made it to 10% (which happened to be about 50 pages) and had to stop ... it was so. Bad. Like @DGRachel , I will post a review about why exactly it didn't work for me - not mean, but honest. 6y

laurieluna @Avanders @batsy thanks 😊 I went for the I don't want to give feedback option. Selected did not finish. Didn't realise it was there! I have explained why too, kept it honest but not mean. X 6y

candority I have used the option to not leave feedback before, but not reviewing the book meant that my score didn‘t increase... 😕 6y

laurieluna @candority yeah. If they had done just a chapter preview before you request, I would have definitely known this wasn't for me. The premise sounds so good, the execution, not so good imo. 6y

candority That‘s so disappointing! I guess you know for future requests though 😊 my problem was that the files wouldn‘t transfer to my Kobo and wouldn‘t open in Adobe Digital Editions on my laptop, so I literally could not read it (but was still penalized for it). 6y
