My #bookspin list for July -- I feel like I should have more audiobooks, since I'm finally moving at the end of this month. I don't know why it takes me MONTHS to prepare for a (crosstown) move, and I still end up scrambling at the last minute! To be fair, decluttering sentimental items (including tons of my mom's paperwork/letters), has posed a bigger challenge. Now how many of these books can I avoid packing??

@thearomaofbooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3h

It has to be Wednesday in some parts of the world! Okay, whatcha got? What do we NOT care about this week/day/month/year ... Feel free to use the template above to post, or comment below: whatever knocks your socks off. WE DO NOT CARE how you present, just do it (as Nike would say). And please tag me so I can be sure to enjoy them! 🤗

Liz_M My nice linen work shirt is a mess of wrinkles, but I Don't Care. If it's hot enough for linen, it's too f☀☀king hot to iron. Also, I haven't owned an iron/ironing board in 20 years. 2h
Sace @Liz_M I do not own an ironing board. I do have an iron, a kitchen table and a towel 😂 (that I only use for ironing the straps in my overalls when they come out of the dryer). 20m

One of my yearly goals is to read less than 50% of books from Authors / Set in the US

Some day I would love to throw England into this, and read half books US+England and half from the rest of the world, but I am really not there yet.

But for 25 I am doing pretty good with 44% US based books, and the rest from 19 other countries.

Bookwormjillk That‘s great! 12h

Okay half way through the year.

Here is how I am looking, how are you doing?

94/100 books read
30,818 /50,000 (62%) pages read

I have read 7 books over 500pgs my goal is 12 so I am right on track there.

My nonfiction reading is needing a bit of focus, I am currently at 19% when my goal is always 25%

Kitta Wow good job! I‘m aiming for a book a week, so 52 total and am a few books ahead right now. I don‘t set a pages goal but I am doing #LGBTQIA2025 and trying to read more queer authors as well as less cis white men. (edited) 6h

Happy Canada Day to all the Canadian Littens! I'm beyond excited to be there exactly one month from today, visiting New Brunswick with @TheLudicReader. I think one of our day's excursions might be to look for a home to escape the lunacy of this country.

I can't believe I turn 60 this Bastille Day. Yet every time a body part creaks, I smile in recognition.

Sixty this July.
Mirror whispers, “How can that be?“

Darcy is trying to escape a marriage proposal. After discovering a mysterious object , she finds herself transported into the 1990s. She arrives on the set of a movie being filmed at Pemberley House. She is a witness to a murder and has the help from a handsome man called Quinn. Meanwhile back in time, trouble is brewing back at her home, back in time.
I really wanted to enjoy this book but I felt it focused on Quinn and Georgina‘s relationship.

I‘ve been blocked! I guess I should be flattered? I wrote a #haikuaday about it.

Friendly reminder:
You can mute tags you don‘t like
No need to block me

In this case, the tags to mute are #ranttime & #longtimefed and I‘ll try to keep the blatant political “stuff” contained to those. I have to say, though, that blocking is the “nuclear” option, when unfollowing serves the same purpose.

I explained my rationale before. I‘ll still speak my mind.

lil1inblue Well, I, for one, appreciate your posts! Especially the perspective from a long time fed! Keep doing you! 🥰💓 4d
CBee I appreciate every post you make. Even more so, I appreciate YOU as a human and someone who has the right to say and post whatever the hell they want. Keep it up ♥️ 4d
Tamra I also appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Times are tough - let‘s not be alone in them. 4d

julieclair My goodness! The #BlockedClub is getting bigger! And lots of my favorite Littens are members. 💙 4d
Jari-chan I'm really glad for your posts, because I do learn a lot. Thank you for that. 4d
Eggbeater Silly question. How do you know if you've been blocked? 4d
ImperfectCJ Wow! It's never even occurred to me to block anyone on Litsy, not when unfollowing and muting hashtags is so easy. I think of blocking as an option to employ in a case of active harassment, not just posting things I don't like, but it sounds like others use it more broadly. (For the record, I do like your posts, and if I didn't, I wouldn't block you.) 4d
ImperfectCJ @Eggbeater I have the same question! 4d
CBee @ImperfectCJ it‘s an extreme reaction. This person (or people) doing the blocking wants Litsy to be all shiny happy people and that just isn‘t realistic. I for one don‘t want to see these perfectly coiffed posts all of the time. I want real shit, real feelings, and if you want to block someone for being human and having emotions, you must live in a very small world indeed 😢 4d
Read4life @CBee 👍🏻 @Eggbeater I, too, am curious how one knows when they‘ve been blocked. @Susanita I appreciate your perspective and learn things or are made aware of issues through the various #ranttime posts. Thanks for posting! 4d
Karisa Knowing that others see the surreal in this moment in history helps keep me sane. Plus so much of it does affect reading + life in general (book bans, freedom, healthcare)—how can we not be affected? @Eggbeater I‘m wondering that now too. 4d
CBee @Read4life ♥️ 4d
kspenmoll Thanks for being you! 🩵 4d
ChaoticMissAdventures The SCOTUS decision yesterday throws hundred if not thousands of children into chaos that will lead to them being unable to go to school to learn to read. Everything about us is political. It is frustrating to see people being so callous and ignorant about our current situation. 4d
ChaoticMissAdventures @CBee I agree so extreme! I have unfollowed people before due to myself being annoyed at what they post, but why block? I agree with @ImperfectCJ I would only use it if harassed, but maybe this person (people) are so ideology fragile they see facts that don't align with their world view as harassment 4d
BarbaraJean Ugh. For what it‘s worth, I really appreciate your posts and your perspective! I‘m really curious about the ins and outs of unfollowing, muting, and blocking on Litsy. I‘ve never blocked anyone (seems extreme to me!!) but I‘ve had people‘s posts still show up in my feed after I‘ve unfollowed them 🤷🏻‍♀️ And muting only works when people spell hashtags correctly 😆 4d
Susanita @Eggbeater @Karisa @Read4life @cbee @ImperfectCJ Long story short, if you go to their profile, you won‘t see anything and you can‘t follow them. How did I know to check? Let‘s just say I had spidey sense. 😎 4d
ChaoticMissAdventures @Susanita I know there is someone who made a big to-do about politics and a post about leaving the site (I cannot remember the screen name). The person didn't just leave the whole site did they? It just feels so weird that people are going around blocking all of the sudden. Like we all were not very vocal during the election and inauguration. I personally feel like they don't need to announce their exit. 😂 4d
JenlovesJT47 I really don‘t understand people. Excellent haiku. 🫂💙🩵💙 4d
Susanita Thanks everyone for your support! I‘m off to drink some wine now but will BBL with more thoughts. 4d
AnnCrystal 🫂🙏🏼 they feel the need to “make a point.“ Consider it a badge of honor and remember, you are on the right side of history. Continue being you, we like you just the way you are 😘🦅💝🐝💝🐝💝.

Just realized I've neglected to include my unrelated2books hashtag on my own posts 🤦🏽🤗.

Deblovestoread I was surprised to be blocked rather than unfollowed as well. And everyone has the option to scroll on by if the content doesn‘t suit but let‘s face it those that drank the kook aid can‘t face any dissent of their choice to be in the cult. Please continue to post your perspective, it matters! 4d
dabbe We both earned some #blockedbadges this week! 🙌🏻 I gave them #ranttime; you gave them #longtimefed, and that still wasn't enough. 🤷‍♀️ I have learned so much from you and truly appreciate your insider perspective. Keep keepin' it real, m'dear. 💙✊🏻💙 Spot-on haiku. 🖤🐝🖤 4d
squirrelbrain I‘d see it as a badge of honour. And keep on doing what you‘re doing. (edited) 4d
CBee @ChaoticMissAdventures exactly. Just unfollow. There is no need for this blocking nonsense. But sadly, yes - it‘s them trying to make a point - however misguided and misinformed it might be 😢 4d
Tamra @julieclair I‘m sure I‘m in it and well, I just don‘t have any f*cks left to give. 😜 (edited) 4d
CBee @ChaoticMissAdventures trust me, it‘s only a small handful (if that) of people. Since they are in the minority here, I guess blocking gets them more attention 😂 4d
CBee @dabbe I‘m over here trying to figure out how to get myself blocked now 😂😂😂 4d
Tamra @Deblovestoread 😂 “kook aid” 4d
Deblovestoread @Tamra When unintended spelling error fits the bill to T 🤣 4d
dabbe @Tamra 🩵🎯🩵 4d
dabbe @CBee @ChaoticMissAdventures So does announcing to the entire Litsy community that you're leaving because of the political posts. I think I know who you're referring to, @ChaoticMissAdventures, and their handle is still on here. 🤷‍♀️ 4d
dabbe @CBee 😂😂😂 4d
ChaoticMissAdventures @dabbe I think you can leave and not delete your profile. Just chose not to log in any longer? Maybe that is what they mean. In my olden days as a moderator for a FB travel club we just to just put “This is not the airport, you don't need to announce your departure“ and then turn off the comments which I sort of miss the ability to do now 😂 😂 4d
jdiehr 😄 4d
jdiehr Just to be clear - I laugh because you wrote an awesome haiku about it 😗 4d
dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures I guess I thought if you make an announcement like that that you are exiting the building for good and taking your id with you. But what the heck do I know? 😂 I love your airport story! 🎯🩵🎯! 4d
CBee @Deblovestoread I totally thought you did that on purpose because I mean, spot on 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻 4d
Tamra @Deblovestoread perfection! 4d
Susanita I‘m out in the boonies and can‘t really tag anyone, but I appreciate ALL of your comments. I‘ve been here nearly nine years, and I could tell pretty quickly that it‘s not “just” books. It‘s a community, and we need community now more than ever. Even if we disagree. What‘s interesting to me is that person was one of the first to befriend and welcome me, and as far as I can remember we‘ve had nothing but pleasant interactions one on one. ⬇️ 4d
Susanita I think it‘s some kind of perverse “solidarity” with their close friend. Yes, a point was made. 😏 4d
Read4life @ChaoticMissAdventures “This is not the airport…” 😂😂😂 4d
BarbaraBB Wow I am shocked. I didn‘t know about blocking instead of unfollowing - and I admit to having unfollowed some people. However I do enjoy your posts and rants and to me they are a way to keep catching up with American politics and news that doesn‘t automatically make it to where I live. 3d
Amiable I‘m apparently also a member of the #BlockedClub now. 🙄😄 I had to go check because I wasn‘t following either person anymore—I was a grown up and just unfollowed them ages ago without pitching a public hissy fit about it. 🙄 And @Deblovestoread , I don‘t care if it was a typo or not —“drinking the kook aid” is the best thing I‘ve ever seen and it is now officially a thing. 🙌🏼 3d
BarbaraJean Well, THIS is interesting. I checked profiles for the people I thought this might be about. Based on your description of profiles from the blocked person's perspective, one of them seems to have blocked me. I've had little to no interaction with her and unfollowed her years ago—no drama, I was just tired of too many game-type posts. Meanwhile, I'm over here with maybe one post in the last month that even mentions anything political-adjacent. 🙄 3d
Susanita @BarbaraJean I learned about muting tags because of the holiday games. 😉 3d
BarbaraJean @Susanita Hahaha—me toooo! 3d
Librarybelle I was posting the #LiteraryCrew questions this morning through the Litsy website and discovered I too was blocked by at least one person! I‘ve got to say, it‘s really upsetting. @Susanita @Deblovestoread @dabbe @Amiable @BarbaraJean ⬇️ 2d
Librarybelle ⬆️ I came back to this post for commiseration 😂 2d
Amiable @Librarybelle We consider it a badge of honor for speaking the truth! Some people can‘t handle the truth because it contradicts what they prefer to believe instead. ✊🏼💪🏼 2d
dabbe @Susanita This is EXACTLY what happened to me, too! #badgeofhonor 💙✊🏻💙 2d
dabbe @Amiable @Deblovestoread Welcome to the #blockedclub! And best hashtag eve: #kookaid 2d
dabbe @BarbaraJean Welcome to the #blockedclub! 😎 2d
dabbe @BarbaraJean @Susanita Same here! All those game posts! 😱 2d
dabbe @Librarybelle It is. But now I find it liberating, and I hope you will, too. And you're now part of the #blockedclub with us! We rock. 😎 2d
dabbe @Librarybelle 💙✊🏻💙 2d
dabbe @Amiable 🎯🩵🎯 Well said, sista! 2d
Librarybelle @Amiable @dabbe I‘ll get there eventually…this year has been so tough, and honestly it‘s a bit of a mental shakeup. But, I‘m in excellent company in the #blockedclub , and if people are offended that I‘m all for the truth in history and not the Disney version, then so be it. History is not meant to be pretty. And libraries matter. And I‘ll keep posting about my cats (if that was the cause of the block)! 😂 2d
BarbaraJean @dabbe Haha—thanks for the welcome!! And seriously, all those game posts 😫 I usually just mute the tag, but when people misspell tags or don‘t use them, so the posts STILL land in my feed—and the games are almost all that person posts? That‘s an unfollow for me. But not a block. 😂😂 2d
BarbaraJean @Librarybelle It feels like an extra level of offense to me that a person would block someone who‘s leading a buddy read they‘re part of! So petty. Long live truth in history (and cat posts)! 2d
Librarybelle @BarbaraJean The person was not in a buddy read, but because I was logged in through the website, I saw their name as a suggested follow, which I thought was odd. Clicking on it showed me that I was blocked, so apparently their name will appear as a suggested account to follow though it‘s really blocked. I would not have known otherwise! 2d
Amiable @BarbaraJean @Librarybelle I‘m totally here for ALL the cat posts —bring ‘em on! 🐱🐈🐈‍⬛😻 2d
BarbaraJean @Librarybelle Oh, that‘s fascinating!! And kind of blindsiding, too. ☹️ FB works similarly (or at least it used to)—I‘ve had people “unfriend” me and then show up in “People You May Know.” 🙄 2d
dabbe @BarbaraJean 🩵🎯🩵! 2d

I just got a new android phone and my Litsy app was the only thing that didn't transfer over. I googled for a reason and read some posts from 2 yrs ago that the app was no longer available. Then I read from one year ago that there was a work-around which also did not
work for me. Is anyone else familiar with this issue? For now I am posting from the website.

Ruthiella I lost the link to the fix. But @julesG knows the work-around. 4d
Birdsong28 https://litsy.en.uptodown.com/android here is the link I recently used as I have recently changed phones 4d
julesG @Birdsong28 That's one of the links, yes. 4d

julesG Download the APK file and open it. Here's the link: https://litsy.en.uptodown.com/android Open the APK file. Your phone might say it's from an unreliable source, but you can tell your phone it isn't. This should install the Litsy App on Android. 4d
IriDas Yikes. Hope these recs work for you 4d
Tamra @julesG you are always the lifesaver! 🦸‍♀️ 😇 (edited) 4d
Blueberry Thank you @JulesG @IriDas @Ruthiella @Birdsong28 @Tamra. It took 2 tries and asking @NataliePatalie which download button to tap but I got it!!! I wonder why LibraryThing doesn't want to update it.? 3d
Birdsong28 @Blueberry It's probably more of a Google thing as I know that you can't buy kindle books from the kindle app or Amazon app on your phone as I know that Google charges for the privilege so you have to go through the website so it's probably something along those lines in that LibraryThing might have been charged to keep Litsy on the app store or any another updates 📚📖 3d
julesG @Birdsong28 I heard it's because Amazon has shares in LibraryThing. You can get the app from Amazon's app store, but not Google. 3d
julesG No idea why there hasn't been an update of the app since 2017. 3d

1. I watched this show about wild cats on the Kanopy app.
2. I watched Remember The Titans. I saw it when I was a little girl but I forgot that I‘ve seen it.
3. I finished my chicken salad from last night and had some tuna fish salad with it.
4&5. I reapplied for St. Martin‘s Press Early Readers Program after being in it for years and I got rejected but at least I get to read ARCs for The Smuthood PR and Chasing Books PR.

A fairly typical #Roll100 month for me... I only read numbers that *weren't* chosen! 😂 Hey, it's five books off my TBR.

PuddleJumper That still great progress! 5d
