I'm not trying to create a panic here, or suggest that the following is true...it is more of, just in case, this may be helpful.

A little while ago, I saw talk about Litsy no longer being available in the Android app-store ??

...and I freaked! What does that mean. Is it technical difficulties or is the Litsy community in trouble??

Again, not knowing what's really going on...I figured it couldn't hurt to do some Litsy advertising.

👇

AnnCrystal Trouble is, I don't know any readers.

Now, I don't normally donate or give away books from my personal library that I have enjoyed (love/like). For Litsy, I have decided to give up some of my “liked“ or “really-liked“ books from their safe place on my library shelves 🥲📚💝.

Then, don't hate me, I wrote on them👀...I used to frown upon writing in books, then one day I became a fan✍️💝.

I write:👇
(edited) 2d
AnnCrystal “Litsy“

The book's hashtag for “my“ review here on Litsy, which is #“thebooksname“reviewedbyanncrystal

“date read“

And my name and/or initials (optional).

👇
(edited) 2d
AnnCrystal The trouble is, I'm such a sluggish reader...

Yesterday, when I came across
@TheSpineView discussing more Litsy issues...

...I wonder, what if more Littens began tagging any books they released back into the reading stream with their own info? That would be a whole lot more advertising for Litsy.

Again, don't know if Litsy is even really in trouble, but I love this place and would be sad if I couldn't be a Litten anymore 📚💝.

TheBookHippie There is a work about around it -I can‘t remember who it was that figure. It out. They don‘t update this like ever, they do however fix bugs off and on… I think the Facebook group Onward Litsy addresses it, I am not on Facebook 🫣😝. 2d
AnnCrystal Thanks @TheBookHippie 📚💝. Yeah, I'm not on Facebook anymore either. 2d
Deblovestoread I would hate for Litsy to die, too. I was lucky when I upgraded my phone that they transferred everything from my old phone to my new one without issue. So that's a possibility if you get another phone. There is an android work around that several Littens have used with success. 2d
AnnCrystal Thanks @Deblovestoread that is good 😉👍📚💝💝💝. (edited) 1d
AnnCrystal Thank you @LitsyEvents 😉👍💝. I greatly appreciate this, the thread explains everything. Very glad to understand, and thankful that LibraryThing saved the Litsy community and made it more accessible. I can't imagine this place not existing 📚💝💝💝.

🤔I will continue to advertise for Litsy📚.

#ReadOrDonate is back for another year! It‘s time to do something about those unread books we all own! Each month, choose a book that you vow to read that month. At the end of the month, if the book is still unread, it must leave your house. If you have read the book you choose whether to keep it, or set it free into the world for someone else to enjoy.

julieclair @Susanita @Chelsea.Poole SG Requests accepted! 🙂 I‘ll remove you from the 2025 tag list. 2d
julieclair @PuddleJumper So do I!! Glad you‘re back for another year. 😃 2d
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage It bugs me that you actually have to read the book in order for it to count for the SG challenge.. I‘m really good at donating them, but not as good at reading them to the end 🙇‍♀️ 2d
julieclair @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Good point. If you mark is DNF on SG, does it not count? In my mind, a legitimate bail should count for the prompt. 2d
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Hm I‘ll have to try it when we get into 2025 1d
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I was playing around with the 2024 list and you need to put in a finish date for it to count. The DNF with a stop date doesn‘t turn it green. 1d
julieclair @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Well that‘s frustrating! Although I‘m generally a rule follower, this might be one time when I‘d be tempted to bend the rules and mark it Read. 🫣😘 21h
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Lol, I thought of that. So tempting. I think for 2025 I‘ll put my donate/not read books under the bonus, so I can keep track of them, and the ones I end up reading through this challenge under the months 😊 21h
julieclair @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage That‘s a good compromise! 😘 18h

Thank you @AllDebooks for #SaturdayChatterday 😉☕📚 & @TheSpineView for tagging me ✈️🎄🐎💝.

Today is going to be cozy.

Took a break from C'mas last night to watch a scary movie for Friday the 13th (a tradition), today we return to the C'mas flicks 🎄🎬.

Reading is in the forecast 😉📚💝, good thing I'm giving myself till Epiphany (Three Kings Day, Jan. 6th) to read all my C'mas books for this season...I'm such a sluggish reader 😂👍...

👇

AnnCrystal ...I will probably be reading Christmas well into February 😂📚🎄💝.

And we're working on our C'mas card greetings 💌🎄💝...which we meant to mail earlier in the season 👀📨📬.

AnnCrystal Thanks @mcctrish always fun 🎬😉👍💝, like a mini-Halloween movie night. 1w
DogMomIrene You are braver than I am. Just cannot do scary movies anymore, at least not most traditional type horror stuff😳😬 1w
AnnCrystal @DogMomIrene 😉👍💝...we like the light, spooky movies without gore and graphic violence...I've watch some over the years (e.g. I like watching Laurie Strode battle it out against Michael Myers. Woman Empowerment 😉), but I always favorite the stories that focus more on atmosphere, spooky frights, and an actual storyline 🎬📚💝.

👇
(edited) 1w
AnnCrystal @DogMomIrene P.S. Haven't even seen all the Michael Myers movies, and I always tend to fast forward through most of the movies I do catch...🤔😂🎬💝.

When my mom and I watched Halloween H20, we had to go drive to pick up my dad from the airport afterwards...at night. My mom avoids freeways, and we drove a very dark and lonely road, part of which was alongside a cemetery. Talk about spooky 😳😂.

I forgot to mention - there maybe in spice in a few of them. Levels of spice 🤭 unknown, except for the very short read Christmas Secret from Peyton Banks I would give it spicy level 3 out of 5.

It‘s almost Friday the 13th where I am, so time for another Readathon! Eat or bake some cookies or other treats (if you want) and make your own reading goals. It‘s the holiday season! Anything goes!

I plan on making frosted oatmeal cookies and listening to many audiobooks, but first there‘s a little matter of my work holiday party to attend. It‘s Friday the 13th. What could go wrong?

Everyone is welcome!

I don't normally read contemporary romance, but I really liked this! There is a bit of spice but not excessive. Kinsley works as a content creator that does relationship endings. She gets hired to break off engagements by either the bride or groom. One of those grooms unexpectedly happens to be her old high school sweetheart. Ethan broke up with her from Marine Corps bootcamp. TW for pregnancy, miscarriage, mentions of cancer, and violence.

While I do like some versions over others, it is literally impossible to select just three!

Therefore, I will sum up my favorites from my total here with three words

1- every
2- single
3- one.
