Little Known Facts: A Novel | Christine Sneed

📖 Between 10-15, generally
📖 It depends on how much time I have. But around 300 pages is a good lenght.
📖 I don't know, I haven't really had a slump I can remember.
📖 100 books, which I have passed already
📖 Crime books
📖 Ehm, a paper bookmark
📖 According to Goodreads, 445, but it is probably a bit more, since I have multiple editions of some books
📖 ALL THE BOOKS!
📖 I run and do yoga, so I can eat cake without feeling bad 🏃‍♀️🍰

TrishB @merelybookish A good book and some stationery always helps 😀 8y

batsy Would love to know what the kids suggested 😁 And love hearing about others from big families! I'm the youngest of five. 8y

syasutake Fellow vegetarian here! 8y

ScorpioBookDreams I love stationery too! I'll have to send you some as I have loads 🙈 8y

CouronneDhiver Dr Martins ❤️❤️❤️ 8y

LeahBergen Richard III. Me, too. 8y

readordierachel Yay for socialism and Doc Martens! 8y

MicheleinPhilly Have you ever driven? 8y

I-read-and-eat ♥♥ wearing black 8y

Cathythoughts I don't drive either. Good to know there is someone else out there ☺️ 8y

TrishB @batsy that would have to be revealed via wine 😂 Being from a big family means I'm always looking for quiet! 8y

TrishB @ScorpioBookDreams I would never say no to stationery 💜 it would have a good home! 8y

TrishB @LeahBergen yay 💜 my daughter saw this and said mildly obsessive is misleading as we have a whooping big portrait of him on the wall in our dining room! 8y

TrishB @MicheleinPhilly no - never even had a lesson 😏 too old now! 8y

TrishB @Cathythoughts think there are a few of us! 8y

ScorpioBookDreams @TrishB I'll send some with the travelling book 💕 8y

TrishB @ScorpioBookDreams yay 😀 thank you 💜 8y

Purrfectpages Gary Numan, huh? Maybe he's just not as big in the US. 8y

TrishB @Purrfectpages as this has been an ongoing love for 38 years it doesn't really pay much attention to how big he is anywhere! Though he is on tour across the US in November/December 😀 8y

Gezemice Richard III interests me but I need to get to know him. Any recommendation? 8y

arlenefinnigan Are your Doc Martens vegetarian? 😉 8y

TrishB @Gezemice if you want to start with a fictional book The Sunne in Splendour by Sharon K Penman is the best! 8y

TrishB @arlenefinnigan recent ones - I collect vintage/ collectable ones too so they're not. I' m not obsessively strict about this. 8y

arlenefinnigan @TrishB Vegetarian Shoes do lovely Doc-style para boots. Love my purple ones 💜 8y

TrishB @arlenefinnigan I shall take a look 👍 8y

Purrfectpages @TrishB I had no idea he was still touring! 8y

Gezemice @TrishB Thanks! I actually was thinking of non-fiction. I want to kniw what happened... 8y

TrishB @Gezemice there is an absolutely huge collection on amazon - I would read the reviews and decide whether you wanted a dry, academic one or slightly more accessible!! There tends to be pro/anti Richard stances too! 8y

Gezemice @TrishB Thanks. I would want something more accessible but well-researched. 8y

britt_brooke What kind of business did you have? 8y

mcipher Me, too! But weirdly they had me to kindergarten and first grade at the same time - half the day in each. Same reason, too - book nerd for life! 😂 8y

CouronneDhiver INTJ! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 8y

saresmoore Hey! I also learned to ride a bike at ten! 8y

Jess7 That's cool about the Internet radio show. I've never had a broken bone either 8y

heikemarie Does the smell thing inhibit your sense of taste as well? And hey NJ neighbor 👋 8y

readordierachel Mmm potatoes. Also, what was Tom Thanks doing at Wal-Mart? 8y

Hooked_on_books Hallelujah to #13! 8y

dariazeoli @mcipher Yay, booknerds! 🤓 8y

dariazeoli @CouronneDhiver I saw a great, brief summary yesterday that made me more sure: creative perfectionist who wants to do it herself 😁 8y

dariazeoli @saresmoore BIKE RIDING TWIN! The worst part is we moved shortly after I learned and it's been 28 years since I've been on one! 8y

dariazeoli @Jess7 Congratulations on avoiding it! Really, I'm amazed seeing as I'm somewhat clumsy ☺️ 8y

dariazeoli @NovelGirl82 I wish PCOS wasn't this weird thing that manifests differently in every person! 8y

dariazeoli @inwhichHeikereadsharder Nope, I still taste sweet, salty, sour, hot, etc. no one believes me when I tell them that 🤷🏻‍♀️Yay, Jersey! 8y

dariazeoli @ReadOrDieRachel 🥔 ❤️Tom Hanks was probably picking up stuff for a flight home. Close to NYC and his wife was there, too! 8y

dariazeoli @Hooked_on_books Amen! (A lot of good It did, though) 8y

alisiakae @NovelGirl82 I also have endo. #endowarrior 8y

Alfoster The circus?? How cool! What did you do? 8y

Librarianaut @Alfoster haha!! They dressed me (and the other nerdy kids who'd won tickets by writing poems about the circus) up like a clown and made us run around the center ring; it was terrifying! 8y

Alfoster Oh crap! I bet you hate clowns now! That sounds like punishment! I probably would have thrown up 😳! 8y

youneverarrived @ScorpioBookDreams How's the MA going? Are you doing the English one? I'm tempted to do an MA but I don't know if I'd want to study with the Open Uni again or go to a brick uni. 8y

youneverarrived @L_auren I didn't know she had a new one out! 😲just had a quick google though and it looks good! Have to watch it! Can't beat Lost in Translation though ❤️❤️❤️ 8y

quietlycuriouskate @youneverarrived @ScorpioBookDreams Hey, fellow OU alumni! I did a Diploma in Law with them a few years ago (was intending to do full degree but life had other plans). 8y

youneverarrived @River_Voice you studied at the OU too?! 🤗I bet that was interesting studying Law and ahh doesn't life always have other plans! I miss studying at the OU in a way I don't miss the TMA panic though I was always submitting at the last minute 😂 8y

quietlycuriouskate @youneverarrived Oh my god, TMAs! Although, I found the really stressful bit was revising for the exams, and being convinced afterwards I'd made an almighty cat's breakfast of the whole thing. 8y

ScorpioBookDreams @youneverarrived it's awful! I really regret it. It's nothing like the degree. It's less about the text and more about historical context and intertexts. 8y

youneverarrived @River_Voice I did one module with an exam the rest I made sure were EMAs coz i hated the exam 😬I was convinced I'd failed it! 8y

Jess7 @monkeygirlsmama Haha it's all about the short hand/broken English and abbreviations! I was determined 🤓😂 8y

Linear An attorney? Wow, that was unexpected. I guess its because ive never met anyone who was one. Thats cool 8y

See All 18 Comments

Jess7 Yes @Linear I am - I guess it makes me a little bit of an outsider on litsy as many people on here are librarians, authors, teachers, or have some connection to the publishing world. I know @britt_brooke IRL (her husband's parents are friends with my parents), and she introduced me to the wonderful world of Litsy. 🤗 8y

Linear @Jess7 lol thats cool about britt. Im not related to the publishing world if that lets you know your not alone lol 8y

Jess7 Thanks @Linear I'm an avid reader so this community of readers makes me extremely happy. I'm a little jealous of those who can get access to net galley ARCs, but I've been informed I may be able to find a way "in" if I want to create and manage a reading blog. If I can find the time for it, I am probably going to b/c who wouldn't want early access to books! 8y

Jess7 @Linear you should participate in the #20FactsAboutMe so I can get to know you too! 8y

britt_brooke @Jess7 💚💚💚 8y

Linear @Jess7 im working on getting my 20 facts about me lol. I have a ARC but i got it from someone as a giveaway on owlcrate society lol. Good luck getting on the "in" lol 8y

[DELETED] 3803335244 Love these! Oh & mint green is so beautiful! I love mint green sea glass! 8y

Linear done 8y

eli620 I love Gilmore Girls too!! 8y

Jess7 Did you know there are Gilmore Girls themed bookmarks? I didn't but if you search the "book" Gilmore Girls on here someone posted about it (and no, there isn't really a book - the fact that the title is on litsy as book already got my hopes up, but I checked). @eli620 8y

PleasantPhantasm Dirty Dancing will forever be my favorite 📽 8y

Jess7 I like Harry Potter, but I am not a diehard fan. In general I'm not a big lover of fantasy type books, but I did take the #Buzzfeed quiz (not sure if it's as accurate as the one on the #HarryPotter website but didn't want to sign up and give my email to take that one). My #Buzzfeed quiz results were: 35% #Ravenclaw | 29% #Gryffindor | 25% #Hufflepuff | and 11% #Slytherin 8y

Avanders Hey I'm an attorney too! There don't seem to be that many of us here in the Litsyverse 😜 8y

Jess7 @Avanders good to know! I definitely think we're in the litsy minority! 🤗 8y
